Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[.:HMS:. Pursuing Decorum MAC8]

\m/

The intro is done very nice and it draws the attention of the listener really quick.

I like the build up of this song. You have some very interesting parts in here that keep the track from getting repititve.

I also like the sudden breaks you threw in a few times. Those make the song far more interesting for the listener.

Only downside is that you don't have a part or a melody that really stands out. It's a nice track, but for me there's nothing really here that makes me to want to listen to the song again, and again, and again...

Another thing I noticed: After that quiet part at 0:41 the song doesn't get as loud as it was during the intro. This sounds a bit strange.

The start is all right. But sadly the track doesn't build up as I hoped it would. The main beat should be a lot faster, as it sounds a bit boring right now.

Also, the "coin sound" at the end doesn't fit in here that well. You should try and replace it with another beat or another melody.

Good thing about this track is that it loops. That way it can easily be used as a background track for a game.

[Tomorrow Never Comes]

\m/

It's quite a good attempt, but the problem here is that you don't have a real structure in the song.

Also, sometimes the song sounds too overloaded. There is too much stuff going on at the same time (for example at 0:29).

Overall, it's a nice try, but needs some more work here and there.

[But Who Will Save The City]

\m/

The intro sounds a bit hard in the ears. Those hard beats "feel" really uncomfortable.

After that the song gets a lot better, even though those artificial guitar sounds a bit strange here. But on the other hand it creates some kind of a "robotic" atmosphere, which fits really well together with the title of the song. I had some kind of Cyberpunk city in mind after listening to the song a few times.

The ending works quite well. At first I thought you wouldn't be able to end the song in a good way when I saw that there were only a few seconds left and the beat was still going strong. But you ended it in an uncompromisingly way, which also fits well into the Cyberpunk theme I had in mind while listening to the song.

SymbolCymbal responds:

hey thanks for the review... just think of a super hero intro to a cartoon really fast paced and many different camera angles and scene flashing in front of ya....that was the inspiration to the song.
yeah the begining is a lil stressfull.
the 'guitar you heard is just razor bass style with some distortion and reverb.. i guess maybe it does sound like a digital guitar lol.
thanks for the review i always apreciate your input man.

[Colossus.Ambiance]

I like how this song develops. From a few chords being played in the intro to a very nice song with amazing melodies.

I especially like the background melody later in the track. It almost sounds Matrix-like.

Also the mixing is done very good. We can hear every single note during every second of the song. Good job!

Only downside is that the song doesn't offer that much diversity. It would be nice if you could add a few more parts to it. It would also result in the song being a bit longer, which would also be a good thing.

Flash-MX responds:

Thanks for the review!
This is pretty much what I wanted to accomplish, was stack several layers of colors over time and then have it go on for a while, I do admit after hearing it over and over it IS pretty repetitive, so I'll defenitely change style with that next time,

Thanks again!

[Invasion 2.0 - Mjattie (NG)]

\m/

A great track. The mixing is done perfectly. No outpowering of melodies or instruments here.

I like how you put in some calmer parts here and there. This keeps the song from getting repititve and creates a very nice contrast with the "not so calm" parts.

The drums sound a bit too artificial, though, but I guess that's the price one has to pay for using FL Studio and similair programs. :/

mjattie responds:

I guess... But yea... It's the best I can get

[Boring Instrumental]

\m/

Not boring at all! It is a good song, but it's in need of some vocals the way it is now.

There are some pauses in there, where the instruments only play very little and very quiet. Wouldn't be a problem if you had vocals in here, but without vocals it leaves something to be desired.
So, either add vocals or try to shorten those quieter passages.

Also, the drums should start a bit earlier in the intro. When the guitar plays that riff the 4th time, the drums should already start with the snare drum.

thanks you

[It's Finally Coming]

\m/

This sounds interesting and a bit strange from time to time.

The main problem I have with this track is, that I couldn't find any sort of main theme.
Well, you DO have some sort of main melody in here, but it is buried beneath a whole lot of noise, it seems.
If you could cut down on those noisy effects a bit the song will greatly improve in my opinion.

MusicIsBliss responds:

ya, i guess i really spent a majority of the time fuckin round with effects, and no time actually making the structure of the song, will have to work on that

[Simply Childhood ( teaser )]

\m/

The song builds up pretty nicely. I like how you add more and more to the song the longer it plays.
But the build up may be a bit too long. Nothing really happens in the song except for the build up. The melodies stay the same throughout the track.
Also, that last part you added (at around 1:05) doesn't really fit to the rest of the song.

Also, the loop coud be a bit better. Let the drums end a few seconds before the song loops over.

[§-Love at First Site-§]

\m/

A happy and cheerful song. Maybe a bit too unoriginal from time to time, but nevertheless a nice song. ;)

Anyway, that clapping sound you used is a bit annoying, as nearly every techno submission offers exact the same clapping sound... maybe you can change it to something different? ;)

SinZLazTWordZ responds:

Actually i did and i also had it mastered by one of my friends =] If you want go to my profile and look for ... well its most recent submission §-LAFS RemiX-§ It has a different clap... better work ups... Pretty much just improved and also the sounds were switched up.. Thanks for the review!!!
