Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eternal Train]

\m/

Sound great and I like the impression you gave in the description. I can imagine a "train ride" when listening to this, heh.

I now listened to the track serveral times and it never got boring, so I think it's safe to say that you did a good job here :D .

The flute is what makes this track so original. It just fits in the track and has a great and quite cheerful melody.

If I were you I would just leave the track alone, as it sounds just perfect to me. And I really can't imagine how any kind of vocals could fit into the song.

Thanks for the kind review!

[Jazz Scientist[Coldplay Cover]]

\m/

I don't know the original of this song, but this piece here sounds amazing nonetheless ^^.

I really like how you managed to mix all those instruments. Every single instrument can be heard very well, there's no "outpowering" in effect here. And also the sound quality is very good. I think I heard one single static noise in here.

[Cry - J]

\m/

I don't like the song as much as I do like you other songs.
The piano is played great, as always. And also the background beat is very nice and diversifyied, but I think there is something missing here.
An other instrument, like a Saxophone or some brass instruments in general would be very nice here. Because just the piano and the beat in the background gets a bit boring in the long run.

The instrument you added at the end of the song doesn't really fit there (starting at 3:50). It outpowers the other instruments too much.

Jurian responds:

Did you mean the guitar thing or the hammond(<3<3)?

Thanks for your review.

[Lost in a Cloud]

\m/

I like this a lot. It's very simple but nevertheless does it sound really great. I like how you build the tension with the instrument.

The song sounds both, depressing and delightful at the same time.

Only negative point about this is, that sometimes there is a little static in it, that ruins the song a bit.

Otherwise it's just great! :)

[I Like to Hit Things]

\m/

I think this would be perfect for a silent movie :D. It sounds somewhere in between comical, sad, cheerul and comical, so it's just perfect for those type of films ^^.

I think the piano is played very nice (both, the "lead" melody and the "bass line").

I like how you slow down the song at the middle and "prepare" this way for the very nice ending.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks.
I've added a fast section to it, but I'm still working through it, and I'm going to add another slow part, vary the rhythms a bit more, and complete it a bit more.

[*Interlude*]

\m/

This sounds quite nice. While you are right when you say that the main theme is very repititive I don't think that it's that much of a problem here, as you added some nice various parts as the song goes along.

It starts off very low with just the main beat but more and more is added later in the song. So you DO have some kind of developement in there ;) .

I can imagine hearing that in some kind of menu for any type of game.

WritersBlock responds:

That's funny, because I showed this to my brother a while ago and he wanted me to turn it into a loop to be used in a game he's making.
Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like the flow of the song.

[Celestial Skies]

\m/

This definetly sounds like some Final Fantasy start screen melody, heh.

I like how you start with the piano and than add the other instruments in there slowly and quietly, never outpowering the piano.

The strings sound very nice and relaxing, just like the whole song is very relaxing :) .

I think this could either be used in the main screen or maybe when the credits roll out. But then again, if this is used in the credits, very few people will notice it, has I don't think that many people are actually watching the credits ^^.

thanks for the compliment, it's an honor to be associated with FF! :D

I'm very pleased to hear you like this track. Thanks for the good review!

[World's Bounty]

\m/

Oh yeah, 8-bit music! :D

I think this would fit in any RPG, maybe as "on the world map" song. This sounds like so many "world map"-themes out there, so it would fit perfectly ^^.

If this would loop better (or at all ;) ) it would be better, I think. Because it's always kind of disturbing the game flow when suddendly the music stops and then starts over again.

TheReno responds:

True true. I still havent figured out how to loop songs yet, but Im working on it. Im glad you like it though. xD Thanks for giving me the tips xD

[Not so Simple]

\m/

Nice beat in the background and two guitars that play some nice melodies. So it's a nice song :D .

But you should add something more to it. A better drum track and definetly a bassline, this would make the song so much better. Right now it sounds like a good intro, but when it comes to the point where the song could finally start, it's already over... :/

aldlv responds:

ohh... something more...
ok.. good idea...
I will do it the next time
thanx

[Slow Chemical (Kane's Theme)]

\m/

This song has a lot of potential, but it sounds quite "weak" right now.
There's power missing in nearly any aspect. The guitars and especially the drums sound way too soft. Put more bass in there!

The vocals are all right. They sound as powerful as the whole song should sound. I don't know if this would have been better with clean vocals, but it sounds all right with the growls here.

I like the rhythm and the melody, even though I think you could speed up the whole thing a bit.
