Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

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.

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.

I like this remix. It's very diversyfied in my opinion. What I like the most about this one is, that it keeps itself in the background so well. It's just perfect for the use in videogames, as it doesn't distract the player from the actual game he/she's playing.

Nav responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I like to hear this one the the background too :)

Well, the beat and the rhythm was quite good, but ver repititive.
I liked the effects you used during the song, but I somehow got the feeling that this song needs a lot more diversity.

Also, this song is quite short and yet I think it was repititive... hmm... but anyways, it needs to be a bit longer. 2 minutes is hardly enough to get into the song ;) .

Man, you give me a hard time. When the song started I wanted to give a zero instantly, because it's just that kind of music that I just don't like :P .
But it would be unfair to give you a low rating just because I don't like it, since you asked the Review Request Club to review you songs. So, I will be fair and unbiased , don't worry ;)

So, to the song: As I said, I don't like that kind of songs, but technically you've done a great job here. The mixing is fine and the sound is very clean.
All instruments can be heard, which is always a good thing.

You also added a lot of diversity to your song, this will keep the listener interested and also makes sure that it never gets boring.
You used some interesting effects and some of the melodies in this song are quite catchy.

Sp1r1T responds:

Yey, thanks!
Oh yeah, dont 0 a song because you don't like it.
Only dicks do that.

The intro is very nice. The sirene fits in there quite good. Also, the intro riff sounds quite promising ^^.

The rest of the song is very powerfull and I like that you added a lot of diversity into this, by adding some slower parts in the middle of the song.

The ending is quite good, too. The long fading is a good finisher for this song.

[<-Distortion->]

\m/

Whoa, this is some heavy shit you have here.
I really like the sound of this. The quality is great and so is the mixing. No instrument seems to fall behind.

The riff is played very well and it sounds very good. The drums are good, too.

Only downside is the ending. The fading just doesn't sound right there...

DarKsidE555 responds:

yeah, I know, my skillz on creating good endings etc. sucked at that time. I think the sound on this is bad is well...compared to my newer sound of course. :)

Anyways, glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the beat, if only I knew where I heard the music before... ^^

Anyways, the track somehow sounds a bit strange. As if you were playing the beat on a stereo and sharing just one mic. It really sounds as if you were standing a few yards away from the mic (except that one guy that raps along the chorus).
Maybe you should try to record each rapper seperatly and then putting it all together to one track.

Again, the MC's know what they are doing. Even in longer parts they don't have any trouble to keep themselfs in the timing and they know how to manage their breathing (no drawing breath during that longer parts).

The ending seems a bit too abrupt with all the guys shouting different words at the same time, maybe you can find a better way ending this.

This time I was able to understand the lyrics a lot better and I think you've done a good job with your rhymes.
Also, the beat is much better as in part 3. It's a bit more diverse and doesn't get annoying. Also, it features a good rhythm.
I liked the scratching-part at the end. But in my opinion you should have used this technique during the song as well, adding even more diversity.

You again did a good job rapping to the beat, if I was into HipHop/Rap more than I actually am, I would pay money to listen to this (as in: I would buy your CD). You sound really professional.
