Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Sunday]

\m/

I don't know if this really fits into the "Dance" category, I think this would be better in the category "Video Game" (just like APF said below me ^^).

I think it's a nice song with a very good beat, but it gets a little bit repititive towards the end. You should add a few variations from the main theme to the song.

Also, the song got noticeable louder a few times, so maybe you should try to fix that (or maybe it was intended that way but I'm just too stupid to realize it ^^).

Excellent tune. Nice intro and a very driving beat. I like the purl you used every now and then in the song.

Also, the higher notes really seem to "awake" the song, as if suddendly all birds come back from their trip to the south and start singing again.

I like the outro of the song. A long and slow fade out fits perfectly there. The more so as the song starts with a slow fade in, so in a way the song does also loop ^^.

[The Valley]

This sounds very different from your other songs I've been listening to. But it sure sounds like a Jurian song. So I guess this means you have a very unique and distinuishable style in your music.

The song sounds again very calm and relaxing and even though I think of bongos to be a more impulsive instruments they fit themselvs well into the song and sound calm and relaxing, too.

Like Coop said in his review, this sounds very much like foyer music, as it stays in the background so well.

I really like the flow of this one. It's just the kind of tune I need for today as yesterday was very busy ^^.

The sound is super relaxing. I like how the guitar and the piano go along together. They complete each other perfectly.

Only negative thing here is the sound of the guitar, but then again, it fits very good into the song.

Good job!

[+After the Fallout+]

\m/

At first I hoped to get to hear something "Fallout-like" (talking about the PC game "Fallout" here, of course) as the songs there create an awesome post-nuclear war-feeling. I was a bit dissappointed when listening to the track for the first time.

But after listening to this a few times more I get that "post nuclear" feeling you are talking about in your description. All sounds sad and even a bit regretful and I can imagine the musicians sitting in an destroyed building and jamming along a bit.

I think you should try to get a more "destroyed" sound here. Some reverbs would be nice, and in this context even a few dissonant tunes would work. It's after a nuclear war after all, and maybe the instruments are a bit broken, too.

WritersBlock responds:

Lol, yeah. Thanks for the review. I've kind of got this ruined landscape, and these musicians with clean, polished instruments, in pristine condition, reverb should help.
Cheers.

It's a nice melody combined with an awesome deep bass (it nearly blew my speakers away ^^).
But I think it sounds a bit too dull during the song. Some higher notes would give this song a bit more depth I think. Also the abrupt ending doesn't really fit there. Either try to loop the track or simply make the outro a bit longer ;) .

Assios responds:

Thanks for your review. Glad you liked the bass and the melody. I agree with you on that the ending doesn't fit. You're not the first who said that, so I think I'll change it:)

[p4c-Revenge]

\m/

Nice beat and very diversified.

When the song started I thought at first that this is going to be very repititve. But you added a lot of variations to the song, good work!

I especially like the bassline, it's nice and heavy, just the way a bassline shoudl be ^^.

I don't like the clap-sounds in the song. I think they're just being overused by many audio artists, so I am a little tired of hearing them in songs.

[Dad 'n Me]

\m/

Great song!

Songs with chainsaws are always great, and this one here is no exception from this rule! ;)

I wish the chainsaw could be heard a bit more throughout the song, though. But the part at 1:50 makes up for that. Great laughing and good use of the chainsaw there.
Awesome song, man!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Hm, I thought it was better not to hear the chainsaw that much in the song. I guess more than 3 times wouldn't be a benefit for the song. Anyways, glad you enjoyed man! Thanks for da reviewz!

[.:When I Come Back:.]

The melody is very nice, but it lacks some variation. Like Suspended-3rd-Chord said, maybe you should add some higher or deeper notes to the melody from time to time to get more variation into it.

At first I didn't like the "swirly" drums, but they kinda grew onto me during the song. Now I think they fit very well into the song, and they are quite different from what can be heard elsewhere.

[Move On*]

\m/

Once again the piano is great in here. Also the drum track is very nice and goes along well with the piano.

The melody is very relaxing and calm, I really like that. The track is very nice overall.

Maybe you should speed up the intro a little, because it takes quite long for the song to really start.

The flute that begins to play at 3:34 doesn't fit in there. It sometimes sounds very dissonant, but even without the dissonant tones the sound of the fluet doesn't fit to the rest of the instruments.
