Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flight Of The BumbleBee -Alix1]

\m/

It's a very nice song and I think you've done a good job playing it.

Sometimes it seems as if the deeper notes are slightly off and dissonant, but maybe there's something wrong with my ears, heh.

However, I like your interpretation of the song quite a lot.

alix1 responds:

Thanks!
There might be some notes off but for the most part I did my best to make sure all the notes were spot on. thanks for the review!

[What's This? {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

\m/

I like the original from the movie where much and I think you've done a good job here.

But I think this song needs a more "monumental" sound to it. Maybe a second piano track with a little echo added to it would help here.
Also, I think the vocal line should be imitated with some instrument, too.

alix1 responds:

OMG. Im sorry i didnt reply to this. Um... lol but thanks for the review!
Yeah it is just a little bit flat.

[TBBAM: Ivan's Theme]

\m/

It's a good theme song. It is much like a catchy tune. I can hear the melody in my head right now, even though I stopped the song a few minutes ago.
In my opinion, this is what a theme song has to be like. It's almost as if I can already see your character having his appearance in the flash movie while this song plays... so, I guess you have done everything right here! Good work!

This song gets stuck in my head alot too lol.

[Echoz- Castles]

\m/

It's a very nice tune. You put a lot of variations in here, so the song doesn't get repititve, which is always a big plus. ^^

Also, you added vocals here, which too keeps the song from getting boring.

Only thing that bothers me is the rather bad cymbal/hi-hat sound. It just sounds too artificial. But I guess that's because of the program you used to create this. Good drum sounds are pretty hard to come by.

Meh sometimes.. hats are hit and miss with me. Thanks for the review though!

[+The Lycanthrope+]

\m/

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.

[<==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 !

[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!

[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. :)

jxl180 responds:

thank you, i just fear repetition.

[Extreme Hardcore]

\m/

It sounds nice, even though it is quite random from time to time. You should work a bit on the transitions between the single parts. Sometimes it is a bit cut off, which sounds pretty strange.

Thanks for your time :D And random is fun!!
