Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stages of Death]

\m/

I like the idea of this song, even though I was not able to see the gates of hell before my inner eye, but heaven... yes, I think I can imagine that while listening to the song.
For a more "hellish" feeling the song needs to be more intense in the hell stage, I think. Maybe even add a few disharmonics here with some high pitched sounds, representing some screaming souls.

TheReno responds:

Thanks. I was just trying to go for a passive agressive feel. But I see where it would help to have some harder chords and a darker mood for hell.

[Beyond the Coast]

\m/

I like the feeling of this track. It's nice and calm and makes me feel kinda warm inside, as if I was sunbathing right now ^^.

I also like the instruments you used here. The strings sound really soft and they go along very well with the background melody.

The tune stays really calm all the time, so I think this could be used as some kind of "world map" music for a RPG like "Final Fantasy" (especially the beginning reminds me of FF), or as a background melody in a strategy game like Civilization.

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

hey thanks man :)! its an honor to once again be associated with FF-esque music (although I can honestly say that it wasn't an inspiration for this particular track!) never thought of it being world map music, but I can indeed see how it could fit.

Thanks for the 10 and another nice review Haggard!

[Jazzed Out]

\m/

The tune itself is quite nice, but there's not much happening in this loop. A few more variations to either the bass line or the main theme sure would be nice and make this loop/song a lot better.

At the end there is a noticeable gap (as already mentioned before ;) ). Try to get rid of that, so that the loop actually loops ;) .

cheers :)

[What Do You Fear?]

\m/

I like the two singers here. The lyrics are great and the different roles they play are amazing. I also like that Cousin is balanced to the left while Cyril is balanced to the right. This sounds very dynamic and if I was standing between those two while they have their conversation.

The music is brutal as hell and especially the drums sound very awesome here. Only the guitars fall a bit behind the powerful drums and vocals. They could be a bit louder ;) .

CyriltheWolf responds:

I tried my best, but my fear is that the guitars will overpower EVERYTHING!!!! lol. Also, I had a hell of a time mixing the bass. lol

Thanks for the review!

[When I Say STFU Bitch]

\m/

It's a great song! Very heavy riffs, great fills and the drums are just awesome!
Only thing missing here are some vocals... but the song is great without vocals, too.

I like how diversified this song is. It never gets boring, even though it's over 5 minutes long! Very great songwriting here, man! I also like how all those different parts flow together so well. Again: Great job!

TheRealSam responds:

Thanks a lot man! Yeah it was supposed to have some vocals but as I can't sing very well... :p

[Rain Down - Remastered]

\m/

Kick ass song! I especially like the drums in this one. They sound very powerful and the sound quality is just great.

The rest of the song is awesome, too although the vocals could use a bit more power/volume. They are nearly overpowered by the music here.

CWN responds:

I know what you mean... The voice really is thin...
Meanwhile I made another remix of the song, new drums, louder vocals, different amp for the guitars... A song is never done to me... I hate it... lol

[I'm a retarded man]

\m/

Nice riff, just a little too short. The song around the riff is missing! :P

Son-Of-Dime responds:

Yo ! Actually, it's just a preview of an eventual song i could make... Anyway thanks for your review, mate. See you around.

[Walkers Of The Dead (bmi/adk)]

\m/

Whoa, pretty badass song here. Great music and really good vocals.

I'm not always a fan of your vocals, but here you have definatly done an amazing job! It fits perfectly to the song.

The song itself is great, too. Very good sound quality, very good mixing and good songwriting. The song is very diversified and all instruments are played perfectly fine, so I have nothing to complain about here.
5/5 and 10/10!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Glad you like it man. I can do a variety of styles, vocals wise. Still a couple more as well. I'm busting my ass practicing the power metal vocals. But won't release any attempts until I'm sure they are the best that I can get them.

I'm glad to be finding some that can please as many people as possible. Thanks for the kickass review, and support!!

[Electrified Snake]

\m/

The song is very nice overall, but it needs a bit more work here and there.

I like the intro. It starts off quite slow and gets more and more intense.

The part after the intro sounds as if it is overamplyfied. The effect/the instrument you used there (can't figure out if it is an instrument or an effect there, sorry) doesn't really fit in.

The change overs from the fast parts to the slow parts need a bit more work. Right now they are too abrupt. A slower change over would sound better here.

Thanks for your review, and thanks for coming with suggestions!

[Last Days of Summer =WB]

\m/

This song has a lot of potential. I like the intro with the cheering audience and the piano. The piano plays a very nice melody.
Some other effects in the intro sound very nice, too (those high pitched tunes there).

The kick off at 0:51 sounds good, but the deep bass sound that is going from the left to the right to the left kinda runis the song (as Gronmon already wrote ;) ).
It outpowers the other melodies and doesn't really fit there. Also it's kind of annoying that it keeps panning from left to right.
If you took it out and replace it with something less powerful it would sound much better.

WritersBlock responds:

I'll probably end up toning down the panning and turning the volume down, that should make things better.
Thanks for the review.
