Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[GO62]

Not as annoying as the last

This isn't so annyoing as the last one I reviewed (GO30), as the very deep bass isn't present here.

I still can't imagine hearing this in any kind of game. Well, maybe for a funny little scene in some RPG like Secret of Mana where some strange little creatuers are celebrating a strange holiday, or something like that.

[GO30]

Lol indeed

Sounds very funny, but I can't listen to this longer than 40 seconds (which is exactly one play through), so I really hope this ISN'T used in any kind of game, heh.

Well, not much else to say here, except for that the bass is a little bit annoying in this song.

[AweSome Song]

Nice

This sounds nice. Nothing more, but nothing less. The beats are pretty fun to listen to and some of the melodies are actually very catchy. It's just that it is too slow for my likeing. I think if you speed the song up a bit it would sound much better.

Kirby is great

Kirby games are great and the songs in the games are good, too.

Your version seems to be a lot faster than the original, though. It feels too hectic in your version.
Anyway, the original "kirby charme" can also be felt in this faster version, so, good job! :)

[Love Lockdown (jpn4rmx)]

Nice, but too little variations

This is quite a nice song. I liked the intro a lot, because it features a good melody and a pretty intersting choice of instruments.

The part after the intro sounds a bit generic at first, but luckily you managed to give this a very orignial direction because you didn't continue the song as I first expected it would continue.

The vocals are intersting, too. I don't like the effect you put on the voice, but it fits pretty well to the music nevertheless. However, I thnk the vocals should be a tad bit louder as they are nearly drowned out by the music.

Also, the song offers too little variations. It's basically the same parts the whole time. The intro theme is repeated, the part after the intro is repeated as well and the voice seems to be singing the same thing over and over.
I'm missing some sort of climax here.

[mac8 - dawn after the fight]

Good atmosphere

This creates a great atmosphere. The humming in the background create the image of a city that lies in ruins, dead bodies everywhere in the wreckage... great!

However, I think you made too much use of the bell and of the beeping sound (which can first be heard at 0:28). It would be better for the atmosphere if we could hear some sound effects like rolling thunder or some rain.

Loops well, too

Another good done loop. There's no noticeable gap between the ending and the beginning of the loop.

But this also lacks some diversity. Even though it's only 14 seconds long and can be used in a flash for dramatical effects it would be better if there was happening a bit more than a guitar playing three chords and a drum playing the same thing over and over.

[into the darkness.]

Loops good

This song loops really good. Too bad it misses a lot diversity. Basically it's the same background beat with two other melody that play at 0:20, 0:35 and 0:44.

While the atmosphere this loop creates is in fact very dark and sinister it just isn't diversified enough to be really outstanding.

[All Night Party 11]

The 80's are back!

Wow, the intro is very 80's like. This can be a good thing and this can be bad thing... but in this song it's a good thing. It brings back good memories of my childhood, heh.

I like how the song builds up. At first we only have the drums and the synth. Later on more and more instruments/melodies are added. This keeps the listener interested and keeps the song from getting repititve.
Only problem is that the looping isn't that great here, because at the end you have a fully developed song which all of a sudden is reseted to a not at all developed song. So the change over from the end to the beginning sounds a bit strange.

But overall it's a great song, good work!

[Fast Action]

F-Zero

Reminds me a lot of the songs from the SNES version of "F-Zero". It's indeed very fast and would fit very well to a future type racing game.

It also loops pretty well, which is mandatory for background songs, heh.

A very good first submission you have here. Keep up the good work!
