Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tetra Nova]

\m/

Great song. The distortion of the guitars is just right, the riffs are very good and the parts of the song fit well together. The soli are great, but those don't fit THAT good into the song.
The drums are quite good, too.
I think the song lacks some diversity. It's about 6 minutes long, but it doesn't happen that much over the course of the song. Maybe some vocals can help you out there ;) .

darkkloud responds:

yeah, i normal vocalize my tracks, but decided to go instrumental with this one, im still debating whether or nay to put it on my new album, i suppose we shall see whether or not it goes.as for the diversity, yeah it could be a bit more, but as most of my songs, it was semi improvised, the only part that i actually made beforehand, was the "main riff", the rest, including all....8?solos, were all improvised.

The sound quality is a bit bad, it just sounds too dull. And it seems as if the riff at the beginning isn't played very clean, but maybe that is due to the recording quality.
The drums and the riff don't fit that well together. It sounds as if there were two people (or a drum machine and one person) who played two songs at the same time.
But I think that you are very talented, you just need some more practise. So, 6/10 from me.

darkkloud responds:

honestly, i cant remember why the sound is like that, i think i turned down my tone knob all the way as an experiment.and the fact that im horrible at programming drums, they always ten to suck from me.i thank you for the complimenjt, but i suck very much, and thank you for the great review, as always.

Ah, gut daß ich hier auf deutsch schreiben kann ^^.
Also, die Riffs sind aller erste Sahne, sehr eingängig und die Lead Gitarre spielt eine schöne Melodie.
Die Drums passen wunderbar zu dem ganzen, und bringen den Kopf (oder auch andere Körperteile) zum Mitwippen und Takt mitklopfen.
Der Sound der Aufnahme ist auch sehr gut, gibt es nix dran zu meckern.
Great song!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Danke Danke! Hab dem auch dann nix mehr anzufügen. ;D

[Frog's Theme [Chrono Trig]

\m/

Heh, this is funny ^^. The intro is very nice and reminds me of some funny song. But the heavy parts of this are great, too ^^.

KitsuMech responds:

Yeah, it has, as someone said on a different site, a sort of "Jack-in-the-box" feel to it.

But HEAVY FOR THE WINS!

Thanks for your time <3

[A Collection of Guilt]

\m/

Whoa, that's a very good song! The intro alone is already blasting the listener away! Great riff and nice drums there. The vocals are ok, too.
Unfortunately the sound quality has suffered alot from the reduction, but I give you a 10/10 anyways, as I can see that you really put a lot of effort into this one ;) .

Goatchrist responds:

Thank you a lot man :) Yeah, it was lots of work and the thing about the bitrate does suck a bit....but I tried my best :)

[Melodic Loop]

\m/

The melody is nice and quite catchy. The drums are good, too. But the loop isn't done that well. But other than that, I liked it pretty much.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Yeah, I know. Damn mp3's. Anyway, thanks for the review.

[Pico Battle Loop of DEATH!!!!!]

\m/

I like this. The loop itself is done very well. The riff sounds quite nice and the drums are also very good. Great work!

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it.

[Cower in Fear]

\m/

This is pretty good. You sure have great guitar skills and I like your playing a lot.
It's just that it's a bit too long for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problems with long songs, and I think your intro is very good. It's just that it takes quite long until you get "to the point" ;) .
Then, the whole thing is recorded too quiet. The drums sure have to be a lot louder than they are now.
But overall it's a very good song!

jdh504 responds:

Thanks for the review, sorry it took me this long to respond to it(if you're even interested in seeing if I responded to it or not anymore lol), but yeah I can see your point there. I probably should work on shortening my intros so that I don't lose listeners so soon in the songs, but yeah glad to know you like this one even though it was probably around the 3rd song I put on here, I appreciate the review!

[Under Destruction]

\m/

It's a great riff; makes me wanna headbang instantly ^^.
The guitar and the drums go pretty well together. Only downside is, that the whole thing sounds too deep. Maybe you should record that with a higher treble.

Chrizzly responds:

Yeah, that could be a good idea! Thanks for the advice and comment!

[Follow the Dead]

\m/

Very nice intro. It creates a "spooky" atmosphere.
The main part has a great riff. It's very catchy. I also like the drums. The quality of the recording is great, too.
Oh, and the loop is done great. The end and the beginning are fitting seamlessly together.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude. I actually didn't mean for this to loop, haha. The ones I don't mean to loop, loop better than the ones I tried to loop. Thanks for the review dude.
