Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[War Criminals - Remastered]

\m/

Awesome riffs, great drums and the sound nearly blew my head away! Just great! The solo at the end is great, too but until then - I have to say I find it quite repititive.
I think this would be better with some vocals! Then it wouldn't sound so repititve anymore.

[Top Gear level 4 Metal version]

\m/

Great drums and very good guitar. The sound of the guitar is a bit "dated" (sounds like one of those annoying rock songs of the 80's :P) but then again it fits perfect in this song!

I like this. The intro is very nice, with all those different instruments you used there. But still they fit very well together.
When the "fast" parts start (after about one minute into the song) it starts to get really awesome. It makes me wanna headbang to this :D .

This is great! It's somehow agressive and yet I feel relaxed listening to this... strange...
anyways. I like the riffs a lot. They are quite basic (as you said) but it never gets boring, as you managed to arrange them very good.
You also used some great effects during this song.

Lashmush responds:

Oh my god, you have the manliest username I've seen on NG to date!

Anyway, thanks. I just used the old "angry / soothing" contrast and worked with it the entire song. The part I enjoy most myself is the finish where both emotions combine.

Thanks for the kind words. ;D

Another great "quickie" by DarKsidE555 and speedmetal. I like the heavy guitars and the riff is great.
Oh, and of course the drums are awesome as well ;) .

DarKsidE555 responds:

sweeeet! Cheers and beers man! >:)

[Path Of Sorrows]

\m/

That was just great. Everything in this song is perfect! The intro is great, that phaser was just in it's right place there.
The short part after the intro is great as well. The atmosphere there is a bit depressing, and then you start to slowly get heavier and heavier....
It's very intense and I really love this!

[Halo Theme -(Metalized?)-]

\m/

The drums are great, but either the guitar sounds pretty messed up or the sound quality in general isn't that good. It really sounds as if there's just too much of everything: too much distortion, too much bass, ...
But apart from the bad sound quality the theme is very nice.

[|-| Destruction |-|]

\m/

Nice and heavy. A little bit too short maybe, but very nice. Great heavy riffs and heavy drums (I especially like the double base part towards the end).

DarKsidE555 responds:

thx dudenator! Cheers and beers!

[Danalpa's Riff Metalcaniz]

\m/

This is great! The guitar sound just is perfect! The riff really goes well together with the lead guitar and the drums fit in this perfect, too.
It sounds really epic and I can imagine that in a film like "Rocky" (or something similair), where the hero gets handed his ass to him first and then fighting his way back...

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot! You might be right on that fighting hero thing there.

[There will be blood!]

Great drums and good, fast playing guitars! I like it. The only thing I don't like that much is, that the sound of the guitars is a bit "sludgy". Maybe a little less distortion would have been better.

DarKsidE555 responds:

By hearing it now...I say everything is sludgy on this lmao...not my standard anymore at all. Thanks for da review!
