Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vondelpark High]

\m/

I love that bass-line. It's pretty catchy. Somehow the intro remined me of The Door's "Riders on the storm" for a short second...

Sometimes the piano sounds a bit strange, but the rest of the instruments sound great and are played very good, too.

The quality of the sound is just amazing, good job!

JCsoul responds:

The Door´s? Ahah, nice!

As for the piano, yeah, gotta work on that.
Thanks for the review man!

[Beast Unleashed]

\m/

Heh, this reminds me a bit of Soulfly. Especially the intro of the song sure sounds like them.
During the verses you sound a bit like Hetflied ^^.

I think you've done a great job with the vocals, they are pretty clear and good sung most of the time. I think you need some more practice on the "clean" parts during the refrain.

The mixing is done very good, everything goes along pretty well. So, good job!

CyriltheWolf responds:

Thank you very much good sir. I do realize that I have a ways to go with the clean vocals.

I do realize that I sound a bit like Hetfield, but lets face it, when you grind its hard not to! I just hope I didn't sound TOO close to Hetfield.

[Trigun : Intro Theme !]

\m/

It's quite some time ago since I watched the Trigun series, but this song sounds familiar ;) .

It's played very accurate but it needs to be a lot louder, I think. Nevertheless, good work you've done here!

Sonofkirk responds:

Hey Hagard ! Thanks for all your reviews !! I'm glad you liked it. See ya later.

[The Reno- [A Heros End]]

\m/

It's a sad yet nice song with a very fitting title. I think you managed to express everything you wanted with this song.
It's good for - as you said - flashback moments with short cutbacks to the present were the funeral procession is slowly moving towards the church or the burying place.

The atmosphere is very dense here and the use of the church bell was a very good idea.

TheReno responds:

thanks you very much sir!

[Fall Into The Blazing Cold]

\m/

I think this is a very good song, but the rather low sound quality hurts this one a lot. I'd really like to hear this again with a better sound as I think that this song is really a masterpiece!
But be sure to add some vocals to this song, as it would be even better then ;) .

BazookaZombie responds:

all those suggestions are being worked on.

i'm redoing all the guitar parts, changing some riffs around to beef them up a bit, using my newer recording setup. and completely revising that lame excuse for solo i threw on the end of it.

i;m not sure what direction i wanna take lyrics in though yet, hopefully i come up with something good.

[Desert Run Zone]

\m/

It creates a very good atmosphere and I think it fits really well into the story you mentioned in the author comments.

I like the somewhat "spacey" sound you create with the various effects here. However, I think the loop needs some work, as there still can be heard an echo when the loop cuts off and starts over again. This sounds a bit strange and I think it can be fixed if you add a second more to the ending and let the echo die off by itself, rather than cutting it off.

WritersBlock responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean, I might go for more static, edgy instruments in the future, but I probably will do something about the echo.

Thanks for the review.

[Terrified]

\m/

Wow, this is a good one. Starts of pretty funky with that guitar and then changes into some terrifying and horrifying sound... I really like the seamless changeover from that "funky" riff to the "terrifying" part.

This seems perfect to be used in some kind of nightmare sequence.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the review! Glad ya liked it!

[Sunny Days]

\m/

Sounds good and has a certain "summer feeling" in it. I can imagine listening to this while relaxing at the beach :D .

But it needs a bit more. Maybe a nice drum track and more brass instruments in it. Then you'll definetly have a nice reaggae-"summer time"-song ;) .

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the review.

[METICAL - Retribution]

\m/

This sounds nice. It has a very "industrial" feeling to it, so I can imagine hearing that in a "robocop"-type flash.

The guitars are played very good and the sound is very nice, too. I'd like to hear this with that "badass drumtrack" you mentioned in your comments.

jrayteam6 responds:

Thanks dude, check out Hating4AM's profile and look for his track "Superficial" for the seriously intense version of this.

[Lashmush - Ocean]

\m/

Arrr, ye made a good pirrrate song herrre!

The song really creates a "pirate"-atmosphere, great! The riffs you used are very good and also the drums fit good into this song.
I like the many breaks you had in this song, this added a lot of diversity to the song and kept it from getting boring.

Lashmush responds:

This is the new version of an old track you can find on my "Reanimation" disk, currently up at my website. So I had a fairly good basis to work with. Though I cut out the synthsolo-ish part from this version as I didn't really think it would fit the soundpattern of this one.

This one became pretty popular both here on NG and with friends and family. Thanks alot for all the positive feedback. ;D
