Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Walkers Of The Dead (bmi/adk)]

\m/

Whoa, pretty badass song here. Great music and really good vocals.

I'm not always a fan of your vocals, but here you have definatly done an amazing job! It fits perfectly to the song.

The song itself is great, too. Very good sound quality, very good mixing and good songwriting. The song is very diversified and all instruments are played perfectly fine, so I have nothing to complain about here.
5/5 and 10/10!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Glad you like it man. I can do a variety of styles, vocals wise. Still a couple more as well. I'm busting my ass practicing the power metal vocals. But won't release any attempts until I'm sure they are the best that I can get them.

I'm glad to be finding some that can please as many people as possible. Thanks for the kickass review, and support!!

It's a nice tune and even though I don't know the original song (I'm not a fan of the zelda games, heh) I think you've done a good job here.

Everything works very well together, only the drums seem to not fit in here. They are a tad bit too loud and they don't sound "8-bitish" enough. They are too real. The rest sounds very electronic, only the drums sound as if they were played on a real drum set. That doesn't quite fit in the tune.

Quite different from your other tracks. I like how the song develops over the time. It starts off with that drum beat and slowly more and more effects are added, until it slowly goes back to just the drum beat. Very nice.

I especially like the bassline in this one. It is a very nice melody and nicely played, too.

I think you should have made more use of the vocal sample one can hear at the beginning of the track. That would have added more atmosphere to the track.

Hey, where's that guitar solo? I must have missed it..

Anyway, this is a very nice song. Very relaxing and very calm. It's a pleasure to listen to it.
The piano is great as always and the mixing is done perfectly fine... well except for the guitar. I really couldn't make it out :/ .

[The Floating Woods]

\m/

At first I didn't like this one at all. The deep bass tone really sounds as if my speakers are about to break any second. But this song grew onto me while I was listening to it.
I discovered the nice melodies and beats you mixed into this. Also, some of the effects you used are very interesting to listen to.
The sound sample at the end of the track is really nice.

However, I think the "lower" part (from 1:03 to 1:18) doesn't fit into the song. It sounds as if the song is over and then it goes on for over a minute.

The song is very nice overall, but it needs a bit more work here and there.

I like the intro. It starts off quite slow and gets more and more intense.

The part after the intro sounds as if it is overamplyfied. The effect/the instrument you used there (can't figure out if it is an instrument or an effect there, sorry) doesn't really fit in.

The change overs from the fast parts to the slow parts need a bit more work. Right now they are too abrupt. A slower change over would sound better here.

Thanks for your review, and thanks for coming with suggestions!

[GLaDOS Owns You]

\m/

Very nice mix of different speech samples. I think something like this is very hard to do, but you did a good job here.

The music is well done, too and really fits with those electronic voices.

I also like how the tune develops during the song. At first, it's just that voice sample, and the longer the song is the more instruments and effects are added. Very nice!

Very nice and relaxing. It may be a tad bit repititive, but I think that's the problem with almost all relaxing songs, heh.

Anyway, I like the melodies you used in this song very much. Also the drums sound nice.

I really like the mixing of this song. Everything goes along very well together, there's nothing too powerful and nothing too quiet in this song. Every instrument and every melody can be clearly heard. Good job!

[Last Days of Summer =WB]

\m/

This song has a lot of potential. I like the intro with the cheering audience and the piano. The piano plays a very nice melody.
Some other effects in the intro sound very nice, too (those high pitched tunes there).

The kick off at 0:51 sounds good, but the deep bass sound that is going from the left to the right to the left kinda runis the song (as Gronmon already wrote ;) ).
It outpowers the other melodies and doesn't really fit there. Also it's kind of annoying that it keeps panning from left to right.
If you took it out and replace it with something less powerful it would sound much better.

WritersBlock responds:

I'll probably end up toning down the panning and turning the volume down, that should make things better.
Thanks for the review.

[.:As Time Passes By:.]

The fast paced piano sounds very awesome. Especially in the intro when the piano is the only instrument that plays.

The drums fit very good in there and they add a lot to the song.

I'm undecided about the slow part in the middle of the song. I think there's something missing here. Maybe add another instrument there that plays some deep notes.

The slow part towards the end of the song fits well, because it indicates that the song is over in a short moment.

GronmonSE responds:

The strings seemed to do the job for the slower parts. I feel like there's something missing when the strings end at 1:04, but that's about it.

Thanks for the review!
