Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mighty Tankmen]

\m/

These sure are some heavy and kickass riffs, great!

The drums are good, too. The mixing of the instruments is done very good, all instruments just go along great with each other. Good job!

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Thanks man, this one fell into place pretty easily. It's one of the few tunes I have that actually sounds like a song, haha.

[Euphorical Misanthropia]

\m/

Great song. The vocals are done great, even though they are too much in the foreground for my taste. The guitars and the drums are somewhat outpowered by the volume of the vocals, so that sometimes they can hardly be heared.

Just turn up the volume of the music and you should be fine ;) .

TheRealSam responds:

Ok I'll try that! Thanks for the review :)

[F-Zero GX Mute City Metalized]

\m/

Oh yeah, I remember that song from F-Zero :D. You've done a good job playing it, the drums really fit into this song.

Unfortuneatly the sound lacks some quality. The guitars sound pretty dull (not as nice and clean as the drums) and especially at the beginning the song is overamplyfied. It get's better during the song, but the beginning nearly ruined this song :/ .

Sonofkirk responds:

You again ?! yeah the quality sucks ... nothing esle to say.
thanks !

[Mega Man 3 - Wily Stage 2]

\m/

I don't know the original song, so I don't know if this version is close to the original or not. But it sounds really great. The track is nicely played and even the sound quality is a big plus here. Sounds as if this was mixed in a high end studio :D .

However, the ending sounds a bit too aprupt for me, maybe a fading out would have been better there.

DarKsidE555 responds:

LoL...High end. XD

naa, just my shitty homerecording, not more not less. But cool that some people think it kicks ass. Right with the end...though, fade-out is something sooo overdone with a lot of tunes, it's kind of boring. I guess it's a matter of taste if you like it or not. ;)

[The Longing Inside]

\m/

I really like the intro, it sounds very melancholic AND happy at the same time. Strange.

Sometimes I had the feeling that the drums and the guitars wheren't in time with each other, but maybe it was just my PC (or my ears) messing things up.
In any case, when the electric guitar plays the solo the timing is all right.

The outro is nice too, with the acoustic guitar playing something other than just the main riff.

BazookaZombie responds:

yeah, there's a good chance the timing is slightly off with the drums. reason being is i don't have any 3/4 time drum patterns. (SUCKS). so i had to record the whole the whole thing blindly without drums. then send the file over to a friend who played the drums with a keyboard/midi station.

[Thunderlord]

\m/

This sounds great! Perfectly made for headbanging! :D

But I'd like to hear this one in a complete song with vocals and stuff. Add some kick ass vocals to this and this has the potential to become a new "Metal Hymn"!

Chrizzly responds:

Yea, thanks!
Yeah, maybe it'd be good for a full song...

[Turn The Screw]

\m/

Yes, I can imagine hearing this in a fighting sequence, so you've done a good job, I guess ^^.

The quality of the sound is really good and I like the beat of this track.

staticnoise responds:

Thanks!

[Starwars - The Imperial M]

\m/

Sounds more like a doom-variant of the imperial march :D . It sounds great this way, but I really think it could have been played a bit faster.

The piano part is what makes this song very original and diversifyed, I liked it a lot.

The quality of the sound is very good, the instruments go along very good so, I think you've done a good job with the mixing here.

Sonofkirk responds:

Others had already say me i could record this faster and they were right.

Indeed Gorekiller made the synth and the piano (Thanks you Gore !) and he made this as well !

Thanks for the construcive review, mate.

See ya, Sonofkirk

[Yummy Muffin ft. Cyril]

\m/

I like the style of the song. Reminds me of some songs I listened to on the matrix soundtrack (yes, this is meant to be a compliment ;) ).

The vocals are original and the music is different from the "everyday metal". I like that.

Rig responds:

Thanks! I like The Matrix too.

[Bury those memories]

\m/

Sounds great! The song is pretty badass and I really like the melody, as it is very catchy.

I also like the few breaks in there as they add a lot of diversity to the song, thus making it much more interesting to listen to.

Oh, and the sound quality is very good, too!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Wohoo, thanks man! :D
