Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Ashes]

\m/

Very powerful riff. I really like it, although it nearly blew my boxes away... :P

Especially the lead guitar is played very good and it is kept somewhat in the background in a nice and fitting way. Good job!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man, sorry about the overpowering bass. I can't even listen to this on my 5.1 . Old equipment here and not experienced at eqing and all that jazz back then. haha. Anyways, of older songs, its one of my favorites. Glad you like it, Thanks for another review!

[Desert Rose]

\m/

This is good proof that the best metal is produced is Scandinavia (and Germany of course :P ). Great track!

Metalcan responds:

Hehe, at least when it comes to black metal. :) Thank you!

[*-_Alone at night_-*]

\m/

Indeed, very mellow, calm and sad. Good job. It's played very accurate and very soulful. I like that.

[Attack Mode Engage BETA]

\m/

The track is good. The intro somehow reminded me of the "Beverly Hills Cop"-Theme ^^.
The song has a good diversity and it never gets boring. The instruments are played quite well. Only bad point about this song is, that the sound somehow seems overloaded/overamplyfied.

superchao responds:

Thank you so much for your input. Seriously, I really appreciate it. :)
Yeah, the sound's like that because I don't really have much skill in mixing, lol. I think this is where my hearing loss hinders me, because I want to get it to the point where I can hear every track in the song, but it gets frustratingly difficult to do so without the sound getting so loud and clipping all over the place. ^^' ....That, and the fact that I just plain suck at mixing. XD
Again, thank you for your review, I really appreciate it. :)

[Totaly Postal]

The music sounds very nice, I like the rhythm of that.
Drums and guitars are both played pretty good. Only weak point in this song are the vocals. They are too much in the foreground and thus don't sound that good.
Also, a distortion for the vocals isn't that a good idea.

TheRealSam responds:

Yeah I know for the vocals. But it's an old song I made when I was begining to record my own creations so the quality isn't that great (especialy for the vocals)!
Anyway, thanks a lot man! :)

[Manhunter]

\m/

The music itself is very good. Drums and guitars go well together and that whole thing sounds pretty good (and very catchy, too). The song would have been much better with some vocals, though.
So, hopefully some talented singer will add some vocals to this some day ^^.

TheRealSam responds:

I hope too man! :)
Thanks for the review!

[Chaos Death Blood Fury]

\m/

Heh, this is funny, but the the pitch is too high for me. I had to turn the speakers down or else my ears would have fallen off ^^.
Anyways, it's a nice tune.

Thattixx responds:

The pitch seems to be a commonly noticed flaw in this song now. I'll be sure to fix that in the next guitar song i make (which should be done within a few weeks). Thanks for your constructive criticism, and I'm glad you liked the tune : )

[The Creepy Man]

\m/

Yep, creepy and quite disturbing. The intro creates a very dense atmosphere and I can imagine this being used in a flash with a "horror"-theme.
Sadly, the whole thing is a bit too short for my taste, that's why I "only" give you 9/10 ;) .

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks a lot, again!
I really like doing the creepy stuff, for sure. I'll do a full length one soon. The reason this is so short is because I was breaking in my strings at drop b tuning and was mostly just jammin. haha. But stay tuned, and as always...thanks for listening!\m/

[**_burn_**]

\m/

Great riffs there, I love that! The drums are cool, too. But, it's so short... :/
Anyways, i like that song.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Well, what can I say. I'm on it to create songs that are over 2 mins. min.

As you could already hear with my newer stuff, it kind of works out. lol. Thanks for checking man!

[Brutality]

\m/

Yay! "Brutality" is a very fitting name for this. It's just fucking brutal and mind blowing, great job!

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Thanks a lot man.
