Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(BMI)-Eternal Seas]

\m/

Sounds great. The bass of this song is realy great, I like that :) .
You played the guitars again very accurate and I wish I could play only half that accurate at that speed... :( .

Though the sound quality is a bit low (only a bit) it adds a very good atmosphere. Sounds like I am standing at a bar and some band is playing this song.
But I think the mixing needs some work. One of the guitars can hardly be heard. But then again, it adds a lot to this "live atmosphere".

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks a lot, dude. I am practicing mish mashing two different rhythms or 1 rhythm and 1 lead. Trying to find adequate volumes and panning for them. So I'm glad you had some pointers on that. I've updated since, but am still not super happy with it. I'll probably tweak it more too.

Anyways, yeah..."live". Wouldn't that be great. Soon man...I'll FINALLY be playing live.

Thanks for your review, and as always support.\m/

[Double Dragon (Theme Song)]

\m/

Great track! All the instruments are nicely mixed and every single one can be clearly heard. The playing of the single instruments is done quite nicely, too.

Only complaint I have is about the drums. They sound somewhat strange, as if they were recorded in a great hall or something like that. They just sound too dull.

[SSBM Zelda - Temple Metal]

\m/

Nice song!
It's played very accurate and the mixing of the instruments if very good, too.
I really like the melody of that song.

Also, the careful outfading at the end is done very nicely.

Sonofkirk responds:

Hey,pal! Thanks for givin' me your great opinion ! i'm glad u liked it, haggard ! C ya

[Super Freak(28 second loop)]

\m/

Whoa, very heavy riff here. Perfect for some games where metal (the material, not the genre :P ) crushes together, like Destruction Derby or some Mech games.

However, the quality of the sound is a bit low, sadly. But hopefully once this turns into a full song the quality will be better.

PS: Just saw that this is used in a defense game. Yep, that's a really fitting genre for this riff ;) .

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

I made some good copies of this loop under my ALT account. Black-Cloak-Of-Night. One has a "lead" the other is this, but WAY better quality.
Thanks for the review, and support man.\m/

[Sonic 2 Chemical Plant Metal]

\m/

I like the funky beat of this. It sounds very cheerful :) .

The instruments are mixed quite well, but I think one of the guitars is a bit too low, so that one can't hear it that well.

Anyways, the song is really great!

[TheReno-[Mortal Kombat Remix]]

\m/

I liked this one, it's a very good remix. Even though the instrument sounds a bit strange, but I think you've done a good job.

As others have pointed out already, it's a bit repititive. But then again the original version of this track isn't that much diversified either ^^.

The loop isn't done that good, there's that tiny pause at the end. Maybe you can get rid of that and you'll have the perfect loop ;) .

[TheReno-[Caribbean Delight]]

\m/

Well, it sounded like every instrument wants to play a different song at the same time. The melodies really sound badly off beat to the base drum.

Maybe I didn't listen closely enough but to my ears, this didn't turn out too well. It just seems as if the whole song got messed up while you were uploading it.

Also it does sound very repititive, so you may want to add some effects or different melodies to this song.

[=Snowboard Kids: Hidden Track=]

\m/

Heh, I just love retro video game sounds. This tune really has a very happy theme and it somehow reminds me of winter... so, you've reached your goal :P .

I can really imagine listening to that while playing some games like "Winter Games" (C64/PC) or even some newer games. Hopefully a flash artist will grab this tune and add it to his game.

The main theme is really catchy and makes me feel happy (as I've already written). The bass line seems to be pretty simple, but it creates a good background for the song.

WritersBlock responds:

Cool, thanks for reviewing. I'd really like this used in a flash, that was my main reason for coming to newgrounds in the first place, so, that'd really make my day.
Cheers.

[==(Morning Sun)==]

\m/

It's a very realixing tune, I think. I really can imagine coming home after a hard days work, listening to this while resting my eyes and chill down...
I also can imagine lsitening to that while playing some kind of puzzle-game.

The various effects you used during the song are implemented very well and they keep the song from getting boring.

You mixed the song in a very good way and I think that no instrument is overpowered by any other instrument in this song.
