First, the good things: the use of drums in this tune was quite good and the sample quality was ok. But then, there was no clear structure or theme, it's like pieces from a couple of song were put together. Technically it was also quite simple, no use of panning or other effects. The song would have beem better (or at least clearer) if the composer had chosen one of the main themes (the technoish or the heavy-metal) and made the song only around it.

The song sounds like a joke to me. I am so confused that I am not able to judge this song. It appears as if the composer is somehow talented and knows how to do a good song, but made this one extremly bad. Well this implies than a rating of

The 2 first patterns are promising,for a rookie entrant. Then i lost it. The rest is just like a collection of different patterns not used in other songs. This is a joke.I base that on the laugh-sample at the end. If this would have been based only on the heavy metal patterns, i would've given this a high rating. The guitar solo is among the best i've EVER heard. Now it's just painful to listen through it. I leave it like this. This composer knows really well how to use effects,has good samples, and a great sense of melody. But attends with a jokesong. Too bad.

This song really needs some moderation and control over the volume and tone, especially near the beginning. The first half of the song really doesnt do justice to the second half. The transition between the two parts is a bit abrupt - it almost sounds like two different songs were cut and stuck together. The second part is really well done though but is a little too short and sounds incomplete. The guitar solo is really well done though and is perhaps the strongest part of the song. Its a pity the theme wasn't carried through the entire song as it would have made an excellent song on its own.

Cool, sweet drums and guitar. Diffenitly some originality here, nice form and trasitions. Some of the samples were not the best quality though, and you didn't use any panning. Some volume effects could have added to it as well. Also, it's short!! and ended to abrubtly, and you left all the channles open.. again, SWEET guitar!! :)

Not bad but have been better some samples were not used effectively and it threw the song in some areas out of wack!
