Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[==(Distant Oceans)==]

\m/

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:.]

\m/

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!

[.:Descent Into Hell WIP:.]

\m/

Even though this is still work in progress, I think that this already is (or at least going to be ;) ) a great song.

I like the slow intro with the piano, it is played very well and those deeper notes there really fit.
The drums are done very good, too. But they sometimes outpower the rest of the instruments (especially the snare drum).

The guitars is done good too, even though it now sounds pretty awful with this digital guitar ;) . I would really like to help you out with a real guitar here, but sadly I have now way of recording my guitar :( .

GronmonSE responds:

Me neither D:

I might redo the drum work, not sure.

Thanks for the review!

It's an okay song, but it's way too repititive.
For the first minute you basically have just one melody and one beat.
It starts to get better after about one half into the song, but even then it's basically the same melody. Maybe you could add something more to it. Some breaks and maybe more variations from the main melody.
I think it would also help if you played the main theme with some other instrument for a while.

All that would add a lot of diversity to the song and make it a lot better than it is now.

[SMRPG Forest Maze Remix]

\m/

I like this song. The main theme reminds me of some old TV show, but I don't remember the name of it (maybe the "newer" Adams Family?).

I also like how the beginning slowly changes over from that "crappy" sound (no bass, and it sounds a bit as if recorded in a can ^^) to the "real" sound of the song. This adds a lot to it.

Too bad that the song is so short, I really would like to hear this in a much longer version with some more parts to it.

[Kingdom Of Fire (remix)]

\m/

Sounds much better with the bass. Now only the drums need a bit more power and the song is perfect from my point of view!

Keep up the good work!

TwilightNecrosis responds:

Well, sorry to disappoint, but I think I'm done messing with this one.
There's only so many times you can listen to the same 3 minutes over...and over... and over... before you lose interest in it.
Now I'm busy working on some original tunes and a "Deadly Sinners" collab. =]
So stay tuned, I'll have new shit shortly.

[RGH: Badass Showdown(Film)]

\m/

Very "classical" showdown music. Doesn't fit into much of the modern movies or games, I think. But would be perfect for great movies like "The good, the bad and the ugly" or similair movies of that sort.

I imagine two opponents standing in the middle of a street and all the townsfolk hiding in their houses while our two heros are ready to pull their guns and shoot...

Great work!

I see it all very clearly now

[KR- Hidden Palace (Sonic 2)]

\m/

"Roman Empire". That's what I thought while listening to this song. Never expected this to be a Sonic tune, heh.

I really think this would work in games like "Age of Empires" or something similar, because of that "Empire"-feeling to it.

I especially liked the background melody of this track. It was very atmospheric and played very well.

Thanks.

[KR- Sonic 2 Mystic Cave]

\m/

It's a nice tune and I like the development during the song. There are a lot of various parts in it, that makes the song very diversifyed.

Too bad that the sound quality is a bit bad at some points. There is sometimes a noticable static.
Also, towards the end of the song the volume randomly jumps, so you should try to fix that.

knuxrouge responds:

*sigh* The jump in volume was a deliberate tactic to shock you. The song was supposed to have that spooky feeling.
Thanks for your review.
