SammyP - First one; I loved how it gained tension as it went on. It was this dark twisted journey.
Only issue may be it was too long, I could have seen it being cut in half and still being effective.
Second one: I loved the disorientating loop of it, and then it went to this dark place at the end which was really exciting.
It was totally unpredictable and unexpected, great work on that.
You're shaping up to be one of the better musicians on the board simply because you take risks and create music which sounds like nothing I've heard before.
Your music has no boundaries in terms of sound and experimentation, and I applaud that.
Betterthanyourkids - Not bad, but I wasn't a fan of the fuzzed out mix of the track, and the explosion in the middle wasn't enough to make the track worth it.
And as someone who's still a guitar amateur, I can play that pretty easily, so maybe a bit of progression past that simple chord structure would be nice? I don't know. It doesn't sound like my cup of tea either way. a little too drowsy for me.
Elexen - Intro was nice, but then it kicked into that great drum groove. That thing has some real kick to it, really nice. And the guitars in the background were great.
I liked that just as I was thinking "This could use a lead melody or something" one popped in, but I don't know if it was enough to really grab me, maybe a little simple and overly repetitive.
Overall the track sustained my attention, but nothing stuck out as all that good. I'll give it to you that the track sounds really good, and with some great song writing and a flair for more catchy or funky melodies, this could be killer.
It doesn't even feel like it could be hypnotic because it changes up too often to really feel like that, it just has a bunch of parts which come together and I'm like "Yeah this is great", but once its over I barely remember what happened.
Nothing sticks for me. At least except that great drum break.
lyst - not bad, but it felt like a pop song without the sticky hook. The airy atmosphere wasn't enough to sustain it for the whole track, and by the last third the whole track just felt redundant. It wasn't like your average pop song where the chorus was this release which you anticipate, there was nothing sticky about the vocals, in fact I didn't want to hear them again, and when they were I was like "why" but then it ended.
It sounds really nice, mixing and production wise, and the overall feel was pleasant, but didn't knock me down or anything.
