Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Galuminum]

Not enough Heavy Metal

I like 8-bit tunes.
I like Heavy Metal.

So this song is a pure win for me. But I like Heavy Metal more than 8-bit and this is filed under Heavy Metal. So I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that there should be more Metal in it.

The tune itself is very nice and I like the melodies and beats you created. I liked the second part (at 1:10) better, because the contrast of the heavy guitar and the kinda lightweight sounding 8-bit tunes is very interesting.

Thank you for the review.

I also am a fan of the second part, and when I get around to visiting this style again, that's the approach I'm going to take. Eventually the guitar will also take solos, they just need to be written.

[Big Red - Oh Noez!]

That was fast...

Good that you put the lyrics in the comments or else I wouldn't have understood a thing here.

The background beat could use some more melodies. Right now it seems as if it is just there so that you have something in the background, which is a bit of a let down for the song.

The rapping was nice and even though you rapped very fast all the words have been pronounced pretty clear, so... good job there. :)

BigRed responds:

Better speakers!! There's a baseline in there that I love! haha! Thanks for the review though!

[State of Flux (ft. Bracksta)]

Generic, but not bad

It sounds pretty generic, but maybe that's just because of the sounds you used. But the melody you created is very nice and pretty catchy. I got it stuck in my head, even though the song isn't playing anymore.

Awesome! Thanks for the review.

[-Drifting-]

Nice work

Wow, this sounds beautiful. Nice use of the instruments here, they all fit together very nice and they play a great tune together.

Well, I tried hard to find something I could critizise... but I didn't find anything! Nice song!

Thanks man! Review appreciated.

[(SoD)-Eternal Arcade]

Good

I like the video game tunes you put in. They fit in so nicely here that at first I thought you created those yourself. Then on second thought I was like "Huh? That was the sound from Pac Man wasn't it? Yes it was... nice."
What I'm trying to say is that I like how subtly you put those sounds in here.

I like how the song changes over the time. It keeps me interested in the song, because I really want to know how the song developes.

Great work!

Also: The score is far too low. Must've been some "zero bombers" at work there. :/

Thanks so much man, I agree.

[-_ You Fucking Win _-]

Nice tune

Reminds me a bit of the Final Fantasy fanfare when you won a battle; you managed to catch that feeling of the FF fanfare in your own tune, which is a good thing.

Also, it loops nice which is also a good thing. If an author decides to put this in his game he just can let the tune loop three or four times and then slowly fade it out.

Only bad thing is that it is pretty short. I think a few more seconds would be pretty nice to have here.

[Tom Fulp, Share Your Chicks!]

Nice one

It's a funny song with some good lyrics. Only problem I have with this is that sometimes the lines are too long to fit into the timing (ie you have to speak pretty fast sometimes to keep the vocals in time with the music). Also, the music itself is pretty generic. Kinda sounds like Blink 182, heh.

Now don't get me wrong, the song is amazing and I like many of Blink's songs as well. ;) It's just that the song doesn't really stick in my mind because it feels like I have listened to this at least 100 times before.

CountBoogie responds:

Thanks for the criticism, I think Blink 182 is alright too.

[Paradox (Remastered)]

Sounds definitely better

This one sure sounds better than the "unremastered" version. Guitars and drums aren't overamplified anymore, only the vocals are, which lets the song down a bit.

I also like the spoken intro here. That's from the movie "V for Vendetta" right?

Blackdoom13 responds:

Thanks alot for the review! Glad you liked it! Yeah I even think the vocals are a little overpowered, but I honestly cant do anything about it until I can get a better mic.
But thanks for the review! And yes that is V For Vendetta.

[Paradox (Bestial Remains)]

Sounds raw and unpolished

The intro is pretty nice. I like the riff that is played there. When the vocals set in I am tempted to turn off the song instantly. But I fought that urge back and I was rewarded with an unpolished but yet pretty cool song.
Because if I leave the overdriven guitars and drums aside then the song IS in fact a good one. Fast, uncompromising and brutal "in your face" metal. That's what I like (well, at least most of the time ^^)

I'll sure check out the remastered version of this.

Ok thanks for the review. I'll try to make it better.
