Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[unnammed riff expanded]

Nice

It's a nice riff and it's presentated in a very nice way. :)

The drums are very minimalistic, but it fits good in here, as you want to show off the riff, so it would be no use to include a loud drum track in this piece.

However, sometimes I have the feel that the mixing of the instruments is slightly off. Sometimes the background music is louder than the melody itself, which sounds a bit messy in my opinion.

[Parisienne redux]

Good

The melody you play in the beginning sounds very familiar, I just don't know where I have heard this before.

Anyway, this is a very nice submission, with great melodies and a good backing track. But sometimes the instruments in the background are too loud so that everything is just a mess of noise instead of a nice song. For example at 0:38 it all gets too loud. So a little tweaking here and there is still needed. :)

mistermurfi responds:

Glad you like some of the melodys in the song its my favourite of the few i have up here

i dunno what the beginning is reminding you off i just play notes off the top of my head but maybe it is off something else i dunno :s

i know 38-50 isnt great just played a bit out of key thats why it sounds so off

thanks for the review ;D

[Coconut - Original Redux]

Needs better vocals

Now, the lyrics and the song are very funny but I really felt they are a bit of a let down for the song.

The intro is quite nice, I like the melody you play here. Also that little effect you use after the intro is good as well.

Now why I don't like the vocals that much is because somehow there's no meldoy in the voice. I know, he sings along to the guitar, but it somehow doesn't fit too good in the song. Especially at 1:02 it sounds more like talking than like singing.

The sound quality in the rapping part isn't too good, so a better mic would be a nice thing here. ;)

[~DT~ 8-Bit Upgraded (Raw)]

Hard sounding beats

Wow, that are some very hard sounding beats you have here, very nice.

I liked the 8 bit intro and was indeed a bit surprised when suddendly the beat set in. I also like that you used 8 bit sounds later on in the song. This creates a very interesting contrast between the somewhat cheesy sounding 8 bit melody (8 bit melodies always seem to sound cheesy) and the very hard and dirty background beat.

Good work!

DeatHTaX responds:

Thanks! Yknow i was really goin for the whole contrast idea, between the very high-tech synth sounds vs the very basic 8-bits. sort of experimental on my part. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Glad you liked it!

[Hardcore, thats right]

Catchy :P

Haha, I beat the other reviews by already stating the catchyness of this song in the summary. :P

The melodies are indeed very good and quite unique. The only thing why I'm not giving a 10 is that awful drum sound, especially the cymbal. It sounds as if someone would hit his cooking pots instead of a cymbal on a drum set.

DeejayDeeZ responds:

Hahahaha. The cymbal are that awful?
"It sounds as if someone would hit his cooking pots instead of a cymbal on a drum set." - Nice one. Made me laugh.

Anyways, thanks for reviewing.

[Oasis Split Up Song #1]

Sounds like Oasis

Yeah, I never was a big fan of Oasis, but the guitars here sound a bit like Oasis in my opinion. The only thing missing here are some vocals. They would also take away a bit from the "repititiveness" that other reviewers have already written about.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks, your advice and critique is well appreciated!

[-)S(- Progress]

Relaxing

I had to laugh a bit when I read Fro's review. He wrote: "but it sounds like something someone could listen to after a long and drawn out day of work so they could finally relax".

Well, I just came home and it was a pretty long and hard day. When I listened to this I felt instantly better, because it is so nice and relaxing. I couldn't fall asleep to this, but it certainly helps me to finally cool down after this day. :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped you!

[{BPS} A Big Repair]

Good

Very nice song, indeed. The effects are very original. This is a big plus as most industrial/technolike songs in the audio portal seem to use the same effects (must be the software those artists use to create their songs). So it is very nice to hear something completly different.

I can imagine listening to this in a disco (yes, there are discos around here that play industrial music ;) ) and I also can imagine that the dance floor would be crowded with people dancing to this.

BudGPStudios responds:

Whoa, this at a disco... That'd be weird to dance to. I hate the sound of FLcore instruments, so I went to find some new ones. (BTW, the lead instrument is actually a preset in my program, but I know how to mix that generic feeling out of it.) Thanks

[Fire Spider]

Nice, but voices are too low

This is a nice mix with some various parts, so it isn't too repittive, which is always a big plus.

I liked the quote in the intro and that you used voice samples here and there in the song. But I think the samples are too quiet. It's hard to make out what is said, because the music is so loud.

Bracksta responds:
