Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SN |The Printing Process| SN]

Nice one

"Review started"

This is a very good song. The sounds you used really remind me of an old dot matrix printer. A printer that doesn't work completly right maybe, but this definitely sounds more interesting. ^^

I like the fast paced melody that starts at about 0:48, it is really crazy and creates a pretty good atmosphere.

After the voice says "printer is jammed", it sounds a bit as if someone calls a fax (it gives some vry weird noises in the telephone if you do so ^^).

Anyway, this is a very nice song, good work"

lol i wish printers made this kinda stuff when we sent faxes, id get an office job like tommorow(sp?)

[SN |Eidolon| SN]

Starts very slow

This starts off very slow. But this isn't a bad thing. I just felt that it was "slow" for too long. So I think letting the transition that currently happens at around 0:53 happen a few tacts earlier would sound better.

Also the outro is again a bit weird. Maybe a simple fade out would sound better. But on the other hand, fade outs are overused and maybe I would complain about it if you had used a fade out. ^^

Other than that, the song is really amazing! Nice meldoies and some great choice of instruments.

SessileNomad responds:

i hate fade outs, i only use them as a last resort xD

slow is ok to me, but we all got out different tastes

peace out

[SN |Rebirth| SN]

Very good

Wow, this sounds awesome. I really like the background sounds here, they sound kinda spacey and very relaxing. The main melody is fast paced, which creates a good contrast to the relaxing background sounds.

The outro is a bit of a let down, though. It basically just stops playing, right in the middle of the melody. I think one or two more notes wouldn't sound as "cut off".

SessileNomad responds:

yeah i thought about making a little part to follow after the tempo automation, but i kinda just went with it, should have though

hey thanks for the review

[Don't Lead Me Astray]

Good

Sounds good. The intro is a bit slow, but it gets much better afterwards.

The composing is pretty good, again you have some very nice melodies in here. Also, the main beat is different from the everyday 4/4-beat, which is a hughe plus. :)

Sadly, this sounds as if it is overpowered from time to time again (damn, I think I REALLY have to buy new speakers. :/ )

Also, the instrument that plays the main melody sounds a bit too muffled. I think a clearer sounding instrument, or maybe even higher notes would sound much better and more cheerful here.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

thank you. Yes, this melody is my favorite melody of mine. And I agree, the main melody IS too muffled. It has been disturbing me since. I will fix it when I start remastering many of my songs in the near future.

[Street Epic]

It's OK

It's okay. It has a nice beat and a very catchy main melody. The mixing is done pretty well, all instruments can be heard clearly.

However, I think the whole song is a bit overpowered at times. While my PC speakers aren't exactly good they are still able to play music without static noises. Here I had static noises when the drum beats got louder. So maybe you have to work on the mixing again a bit (or I have to buy new speakers... ^^)

Also, I think the song gets too repititive after a while. Either shorten the song a bit or try to get some breaks in from the main beat and main melody here and there.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

thank you for the advice! Like I said earlier, it's like the static yall are hearin is actually the rain sound effects i put in the song (im pretty sure). As for the overpowerment, i can strongly agree. The bass is too much. I will fix that in the near future.

[Terracrypha]

Good, but too repititve at times

It's a good song, the main melody is very catchy it I bet it gets stuck in my head long after I finished this review.

I also like how you used the bongos in the second part of the song. This is very original and it surprisingly fits very well in this song.

However, the song gets a bit repititive after a while, bongos or not.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

thank you for the review! The repetitiveness is a problem... yes... but ya know, this genre really aint my piece of pie ;)

[The End {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Nice

Sounds a bit weird from time to time, but it's definitely a nice song!

Sometimes it sounds a bit overpowered, though. Maybe you can mix those parts a bit better (like for example at 0:56).
But at other times the mixing is perfect, no static noises from overpowered bass... strange.

I also like that the song is very varied, so it's like "I have to keep listening to this, what else will happen in the song?"
Good work!

[The Metal Rangers Theme]

\m/

The intro sounds indeed a bit weird, but the rest of the song is quite nice.

I've never watched Power Rangers and I don't know how the intro song sounds (I only know the "Go go Power Rangers" bit), but the music sounds pretty nice.

However, the vocals need some more work. It sounds as if you where trying too hard. Also, the timing doesn't seem to be always correct.

Blackdoom13 responds:

lol thanks for the cool review. Lol I get it man nobody likes the vocals lol.
I guess the idea I was kinda going for didnt work out due to poor quality. Oh well. Glad you enjoyed some of it lol

[Forest_Density [Box-Killa]]

Nice atmosphere

This is a very good song and it contains everything you described in the comments.

It starts off very nice and peaceful. Even though it seemes as if there are some discords there right at the start. But maybe that was just imagination. Anyway, imagination or not, those "discords" fit in there really nice. It sounds peaceful, but due to the "discords" it is indicated that there's something wrong here...

Towards the end with that loud piano I feel reminded of some "Deine Lakaien" and "Goethes Erben" songs. Those are two german Dark Wave/Gothic bands, I doubt that you have ever heard of them, but still, it sounds a lot like them in the outro. ^^

Box-Killa responds:

ooh sweet another review from the review club :D Yep stars off very nice and peaceful. And yes, there is a sinister feel if that is what you ment by discord. Yes I see what ure saying, sinister in other words.

Lol never herd of those bands. Yep ending sounded kinda wierd. Thanks for teh review! Peaceout

[Musings in Bm -WIP-]

Sounds so sad... *sob*

Wow, this is very touching. It's amazing how with only that little use of instruments (a piano and some strings, if I'm not mistaken).

Too bad it's so short, though. But on the other hand it's good advertising for your final song. I really want to hear it now. ;)

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review!

The instrumentation is piano, a few strings and some brass after the key change.

I hope to get it done before too long.
