Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Intro/Down The Rabbit Hole]

Cheerful

A very cheerful song in my opinion. With a very catchy main beat.

Only thing is that there isn't too much happening during the song. Some various parts or some breaks from the main melody here and there would be very nice and it would make the song more varied.

Chymo responds:

Yeah I know what you mean. I wanted it to be a nice gentle introduction to the album I'm working on. I can't seem to get the balance right. There's either too much going on or not enough. Thanks for the review.

[Falling Airplanes]

Interesting

The into sounds a bit dissonant sometimes. Both the vocals and the instruments. It still sounded nice, maybe a little bit too repititve, though.

The part after the intro reminds me A LOT of Radiohead's "Morning Bell/Amnesiac". Too bad the vocals are so low here.

The third part is my favorite part. It creates a very good atmosphere with the fast paced main beat and the long hold notes.

The last part seems a bit strange to me. It's too quiet overall and I just don't know what to think about it.

Overall, the song is very interesting and the various parts keep the listener interested, even though the song is over 7 minutes long.

Thanks for the review, the RRC seems to have some really good reviewers. still no one's really discussed the lyrics or subject matter but im glad you find it interesting. i love radiohead so i wouldnt be surprised to see some influences in there, sigur ros as well probably.

[Heimdall]

Nice, but too repititve

It's a nice background track. Maybe a little bit too slow, even for a "cruising track", but definitely it's too repititve.

The main melody loops over and over and at the end of the track it's just annoying to listen to it. Some more parts that also stand out more than those parts you already have in here would sure be nice.

[An Open Mind is an Open Heart]

Not that great

But not that bad either. I like your playing a lot, even though you sometimes play the notes not very clean.
Also, sometimes some static sounds can be heard, which just sound awful.

I guess you improvised this, but sometimes the notes where just too much all over the place.

Other than that, the track is very relaxing.

[Dawn Light]

Nice

The melody of this song is very nice, also the beats are pretty catchy.

However, the song is a tad bit too repititve. It's over 4 minutes long but there isn't that much happening during that time.

So overall I say that this is an OK song that requires some more work to become a good song. ;)

[-'+ Darkside +'- (Final)]

Heavy beat

Wow, a very heavy beat. I like that. I also like the deep voice that says "Darkside". It fits very well into the song.

I think the progression of the song is done great. The intro sounds very light and almost cheerful, then suddendly you change the whole thing to a very hard and bassy track.

However, I think the ending could use some more work. It ends too abruptly in my opinion. Maybe you should let the last note last a bit longer.

Thanks alot for another review :) Glad you liked it ^^ Hmm, yeah, you got a great idea there. I geuss I'll play around with it some more :P I usually don't make this kind of music, but I believe it turned out rather good too :P Thanks alot for the review, the idea, your time.

And thanks "Review request club" :)

Cheers

[Take off every Zig (WiP)]

Good track

I like the beat here a lot. It sounds very good and creates a happy feeling. And I guess "happy feelings" is what Trance music is about. ^^

I also like the various sound effects you put in here. It's easy to overuse sound effects and annoy listeners with them. But you did make good use of them.

Good work!

Krussi responds:

Ooh, another review from the "Review Request Club" :D I thought I only were getting 1 review from you guys. I probably will upload a version without the FX's since some said that they liked it but didn't like the FX's :P

Well, thanks alot for your time, the review and the "10" :D

Cheers

[A Grey Sunset]

Hmm

Well, this works quite well with an image I had in my head while listening to this: A few people sit around a fire at night and someone gets out a guitar and plays this.
The tune fits very well to the background, so I guess it could be used just as that.

Also, the atmosphere the track creates is very nice.

Only thing is that it is quite repititve. So maybe you can work on that a bit.

[Alakazama]

Nice intro

Hey, this could be a nice intro either to a song or act as a small opener for an album.

I like the guitar here very much. It sounds pretty good and is played in a nice way. Only the drums could use some more work, as they sound rather weak compared to the guitar.

[Silent Castle]

Whoa

Right now it rains outside and this track fits very well to the weather, heh. It's quite an experience. ^^

The song has a very sad feeling to it and this feeling is even amplified by the rain outside.

I really like the slow solo, even though you didn't play that clean here and there. But well, I know how you feel. If you mess up during recording one can get quickly bored of it. Especially if you mess up towards the end of the piece you are trying to record.

Anway, the song is very nice and I like the sad and calm atmosphere a lot!
