Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castle Crashers The Crusade]

\m/

I like that tune. Sounds pretty "heroic". And the sound quality is superb for the audio portal ;) .
Oh, and the loop is done perfect! You really can't tell the change over from the end "back" to the beginning. Great!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Why thank you very much man. I know, the loop is really working, I was very pleased how it turned out in the end. :D

Thanks for the review yet again!

[Twisted fate!]

\m/

Starts off pretty nice and gets even better after those calm 20 seconds! Very great riffs and good drums.
The instruments go along very well; nothing is overamplified, no instrument is too quiet...
The quality of the sound itself is great, too.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Thanks man...damn...you reviewed quite a lot from me in the last time. Thanks a bunch for that. :)

Also cocks and beers! ;D

[Twisted fate - Preview!]

\m/

Nice intro. I like that drum beat. The rest of the song is very powerful and has a very driving beat.
The sound quality is perfect, no instruments are too quite or overamplified.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Rock on buddy! \m/

[Surrounded By Darkness]

\m/

Starts of very slow and a bit boring, I have to say.
But after about 2 minutes into the song, it finally 'really' starts. With guitars, drums, etc.
I think it sounds very good, I like the melody and the rhythm. The drums sound very nice, especially the "double base"-parts. The guitars sound very good as well, but I think they are a bit too quite. They seem to get lost among all the other instruments (especially the drums).

TheRealSam responds:

Yeah you're right I noticed that too.
For the intro, I think that with a better vst and more variations, it could be great.
Thanks a lot for the review :)

[Time For Punishment]

\m/

Heh, the intro is very cool. I like that "question-and-answer"-game with the rhythm and the lead guitar.
The rest of the song is good, too. It's pretty much "straight forward" with a good rhythm and great energy.

TheRealSam responds:

Yeah as I said it was made for a Postal² mod, so it had to be poweful :p
Thanks a lot for the review :)

[Through Space And Time]

\m/

The intro is really nice, it's very powerfull. The slower parts are good as well, but a lot of the energy from the intro is somehow lost. But I like how you managed the changeovers from 'fast' to 'slow' and back.
It's a good song, but it would be even better with some kick-ass vocals!

TheRealSam responds:

Thanks man :)
I've put vocals on this song but I don't think I'm gonna put it on NG.

[Wha???????]

\m/

Hm, I don't know wether I like this or not.
On the one hand it sounds annoying and there doesn't happen that much in this piece. On the other hand it sounds "psychadelic" and I can imagine this in a flash with a very strange and terrifying main theme.

Audiomaster responds:

When i made this i didn't know what it would really be about. I just made it.

[Down In Fire]

\m/

I like the main riff of that song, it rocks! Reminds me a bit of early "Ramones"-songs, heh.
The sound quality is a bit low, so that all sounds a bit "sludgy".
I think that the first solo doesn't fit into this song, whereas the second solo is quite fitting.
Overall it is a nice rock song that shows that you have great talent.

TheRealSam responds:

Wow thank you a lot! :)
Well, this song was made when I was begining to compose my own solos (or soli, I don't know). That is why they sound weird, or not in the right tone.
But anyway, thanks a lot, I'll keep workin on this :)
