Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

Blackdoom13 responds:

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

[Fletus Caeli]

Good

That's a pretty good song you have here. The intro sounds like some of the old songs from C&C (I only played the first game). It also has a very militaristic drum beat, which seems to be fitting for a C&C game.

Later on you provide us with some very nice melodies, giving us a break from the hard background beat and making the song more interesting at the same time.

I let this play in the background while surfing the web and didn't get distracted while I was reading some sites. This is a good sign since the player shouldn't be distracted while he's playing, but at the same time he needs something to listen to so that the gaming experience isn't so silent. ;)

EvilScorpio responds:

Thanks for a good review) Sorry for late answer, my internet wasn't work...

[BeautifulSound(DaisyChain)]

Nice again

Hm, this really reminds me of Radiohead's album "Pablo Honey", there they have songs that sound pretty similar to this one.
I also had the feeling that this was the intro to some series, at least for the first minute or so.
But of course this song is too long for an opening song.

Anyway, it really sounds nice and I like this a lot.

Cornilious responds:

RADIOHEAD? That's pretty damn flattering.
But, come on, there has to be something weak about this song.
Like the lack of vocals. haha

[Coming Home (Daisy Chain)]

Great

Very great song. All instruments work quite well together here, nothing stands out too much, which is a good thing when playing as a "band".

The drum riffs are a bit too simple, but "simple" doesn't equal "bad". It fits quite well in the song.
I like the melody the guitar is playing, it sounds pretty nice.

Too bad that vocals are missing here. I think the song would be even better with a vocalist singing to it.

{ Review Request Club }

Cornilious responds:

Yeahhh. Vocals.
I'm still trying to figure out how I want the vocals to sound.
My voice is alright so I'll try out a couple things once I get a nice mic and USB adapter. Hopefully this will be soon.

[Summer Solace {durn}]

Relaxing

I'm very tired right now, so this song was just the right thing for me, heh.
It is very relaxing, which is a good thing. I can close my eyes and just listen to the song without having to fear that it suddendly "screams" at me or gets uncomfortable with loud noises or fast drum beats.

Here I can just close my eyes, relax and enjoy the nice melody.
Speaking of the melody: It reminds me of warm (but not too warm) summer days, it just has the same happy feeling to it a kid (or even an adult) would feel while running over a field...

Very nice work!
