Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[x5470]

\m/

I like this one. The beat is nice and heavy and I think it fits very well into the industrial genre.

I liked the subtle background noises and beats you added to the song as those keep the track from getting repititive.
I also like that the track loops quite well.

I like how this song develops over the course of time. But it develops too slowly in my opinion. At least you are aware that the track is very repititve. ;)
I also think that the track needs a little more bass. Right now it all sounds too "light".

I do like the trancy feeling that you create here with all the effects and with all those repitition (so, at least they serve a purpose here ;) ).

A very nice track, indeed. The intro could have been a tad bit louder, though. When the drums set in it's a too big jump in loudness, as the drums are quite loud here.

Maybe you should turn down the volume of the drums a little bit, so that the other instruments can be heard better. Right now they are nearly overpowered by the drum track.

The beginning sounds a bit like a mix between "The Moonlight Sonata" and the track that is played in Resident Evil when you are in a Save Room, heh.

I love this track. I like how it developes over the time and I also like the effects you put on the piano and the other instruments. It really fits and all instruments go along together very well.

Great song!

SolusLunes responds:

Ha, the RE save room song. I never thought to compare it to that :D

Glad you liked the simplicity of it :D

Sounds very crazy... but that's not a bad thing. It sounds crazy yet it follows a clear structure. I like that.
I also liked the various parts you had in the song. This makes the song very interesting to listen to.

However, you should use the clapping sound less often. I just think it has been overused. Nearly every trance song makes use of that clap...

Also, I noticed a slight error at around 1:25. As if I was listening to a chewed-up tape. ;)

FunkmasterCatking responds:

Yeah, I don't really know why its doing that, I think it might have been one of the vst's I was using.

The loop is done perfectly, so good work on that aspect.

I like the blending you used here. The tunes and melodies all fit together very well and the whole flow of the song is pretty amazing. There's nothing to the shot loop that doesn't belong there. Great!

Short and sweet is the new motto. Can't get reviews complaining about repetition if everything you hear is new ;)

I'm surfing the web while this is playing in the background and I don't know how often this song started over again (just indicates how well this thing loops ;) ).
I think this is very great song! It creates a great atmosphere while it keeps itself very well in the background.

It sounds very relaxing and kind of sad at the same time. I especially like that you only used a few instruments and effects here. This adds a lot to the atmosphere the song creates.

WritersBlock responds:

Just the one instrument, piano, and I think I just had 2 effects aswell, reverb and delay. So, yeah, technically speaking, it's really simple. I'm glad that I've recieved these positive responses for this particular song, because it feels like you're judging me solely on my compositional skills, rather than effects and technicalities.
Thanks for your review, and the ten!
Cheers, man!

This song offers a very nice rhythm and an interesting beat. You should change the drum sounds though. They don't seem to fit into the song, plus they sound a great deal too much like samples (which they probably are, heh).

I like that the song is so diversified, this keeps the listener interested from the start to the end.

This sounds much more like that epic fight scene than the previous song, too bad it's so short. For an epic fight it needs to be a bit longer and offer more variations, I think.

At least it seems to loop very well, which is good for a fighting game.
