Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[GeneralSpyTheme]

\m/

The song has a very "spy feeling" to it. It reminds me a bit of James Bond. So it propably means that you are on a good way.

But it somehow feels too much like lounge music right now, so a creepier atmosphere would be nice. Maybe it would already help if you take out that little break at around 0:44.

Also, the song should loop a bit better. Because right now there's a little gap at the end, which makes it a bit hard to use this track as a background theme.

Wow, that is a very intense song. The strange rhythm makes the song very interesting.
Even though a 5/4 beat is a very odd one it sounds really nice and surprisingly "ordered" (couldn't find a better word ^^).

I can really imagine the crowds going crazy to this song on the dancefloor! :)

Too bad it gets a little bit repititve towards the end. Some different parts there would be a very nice addition (maybe a change in the beat would already do the trick).

WritersBlock responds:

Yeah, there are a couple of other 5/4 submissions for the DnB time signature contest, and the beats in those songs sounded less "ordered" to put it that way. I mean, when you listen to an irregular time signature, you usually have that awkwardness which I was surprised wasn't so apparent here. Yeah, there's not a lot of variation here, and the beat stays the same. I'd love to mix it up some, but I guess this is another prime example of something that has potential but falls short of that potential due to laziness.

Thanks for the review.

[Fancy Mike - Time Travel]

It's a very nice song. The beat is great and I really can imagine that this would sound EVEN BETTER with some lyrics added to it.
Hopefully some talented rapper uses this fine piece for a song in the near future. :)

The track definatly feels like the 50. Not so much in the beginning, where it reminds me more of hip hop from the 90 (like Wu Tang, etc.).
But the "50s feeling" gets more and more present the longer the track plays. Nice work!

[<==Floating Freely==>]

\m/

It's a very nice tune. The echo effects on the piano fit in very good here (and it also fits to the title "Floating Freely", as an echo always creats a "floating" atmosphere).

The ending is all right, but I think you should let the last tune ring a tad bit longer. It feels as if it is cut off at the end right now.

DjCompass responds:

It might've cut a little bit, endings are not my strong suit = /
Delay + Reeverb = ambient drifting feel :P
Thanks for the review ^^

[** \ Fro's Theme / **]

\m/

Great theme for Corky. He can be really proud to have such an kick ass theme. :)

The song is arranged nicely and the progression during the song is really good. But the solo guitar could have been a tad bit louder. It struggles to be heard when the rhythm guitar and the drums are playing at the same time as the solo guitar, which is a pity, because the solo sounds pretty awesome.

Sonofkirk responds:

Thanks a lot Haggard, I'm glad that you listen my songs : ).

Humm ... I thought that the solo was too loud, actually. But I will remake the mix and fix this problem. Thanks for noticing it ; ).

And thanks for the good review !

[Happy B-day, Nav!!]

\m/

Well, this was obviously meant ironic, but I just don't find it too funny.

2 seconds, 4 drum beats... and it doesn't even loop right. Sorry, that's just not my style of humor.

Maybe you shouldn't use MS Paint next time.

[From Inside]

\m/

The intro reminds me a bit of some older Radiohead songs, and when the vocals set in it reminds me a bit of Coldplay, heh.

Anyways, the song is arranged very nice. I especially like the changeovers from the clean to the slightly distorted guitar. On the first changeover the pick scratch fits perfectly, on the second I expected to hear that scratch again, but you surprised me with a different changeover. That's very nice and keeps the song from getting repititve very good.

The singer has a great voice and I enjoyed listening to him.
Great song!

Satoris responds:

Wow, Radiohead and Coldplay. Two bands I have not yet heard (or even dreamed would be) us compared to. Not saying that's a bad thing cause both bands are great, but it threw me off (In a good way), thanks a lot for the review!

[[ Infiltration ]]

\m/

The beats of this song are very nice and so are the melodies. I like how you varied a bit with the tempo of the song. This keeps it from getting repititve, as the listener can always expect to experience a change in the song at any time.

A few times the song sounds a bit mixed up (especially in the beginning). Maybe it would help if you turn down on the echo effect of the melodies a bit.

The ending is indeed anticlimatic. A "big bang" sure would be nice here.

[Jxl180 - Experimental]

\m/

This is a very good song. Even though some parts seem to be a little off beat (at around 0:30), it fits into the song very well.

I like the ending with that voice the most. It's a very good ending.

I would like to see you improvising a longer song, I think you could create great songs that way. :)

thank you, i just fear repetition.

[Dream Addiction [Trance Mix]]

\m/

It's a good song. The mixing is done very nice and the track offers a very nice beat.

The song creates a good atmosphere and I can imagine people dancing to this song on the dancefloor of a club.
