Nice samples. And a fine beginning, but I think the guitar sounds are way too loud - they completely drown everything, save the drums, and that distorted-like guitar is a little overused.

Depth. Lots of different guitar sounds. Quite entertaining and tried some things with the guitar.

A very good song, with a good form and an excellent technique, maybe too good for the category it is on. The sample quality is a little under the rest of the tune.

starts out with a nice acoustic guitar. the distorted lead guitar is too loud, and the melody lacks structure. this is nothing that would stick to my head. the rhythm dist guitar sounds pretty awful and is full of flaws.

The effort put forth by the composer was apparent, which kept the song from earning a lower rating. The levels need a good deal of work. It sounded as if the composer just kept piling on louder and louder sounds in an effort for them to be heard. Unfortunately, this drowned out most of whatever other instruments happened to be playing at the time. The distorted guitars were much too loud. The sample selection didn't really seem to fit this style of song. Hard, hacking guitars just don't sound right to me when played this happily. From a technical standpoint, the multisampled guitars were extremely well done. The distorted riff was broken up into easily rearrangeable pieces. The efficiency here is clear. The bells at order 30 were a nice touch. This is also about the only point in the song where things seem to fit together in a pleasing way.

Good intro, good mood. A lack of theme was present throughout though and there was a jarring change at order 27. The melody was good but suffered from randomness and a lack of theme. Good use of effects. The samples were good and pretty in tune. Doubling channels was a no-no though as was use of surround sound. It muddled the song up. Good luck on your next song!
