Nice tune guys!
Oh wow, nice intro guys! That's pretty great introduction. I really like the guitar riff. The basslines are solid and good, the drums are intesne when they need to be, chill when appropriate, and above all, tight and tasteful!! The mood is quite agressive and edgy. The vocals are good, a little more scream then I'm really into, but that's my personal taste. Nice tune guys!

Oh Yeah
Oh what a fine beginning! This is what I call being original. Very nice beat by drums - it has an idea. And tell the drummer that HE IS THE MAN! I love the vocal effect during verse, it fits in this kind of music very well. Good job overall - fine a specific sound.

ike it
The hook is catchy and that some thing most bands forget about when it the most important. I like the singer’s voice. Bass player is rocking with some slap bass. Guitar player has a lot of space age sounds that I like and wish I could learn. I would like to know what kind of peddles the guitar player has. the bets are funky more so then most rock bands. the lyrics have it right because if i was in a rockin band like this I’d be excited.

Solid
I really don`t like Alternative Metal so it`s difficult for me to review this genre. Anyway, here goes.

Like the tribal drums in the intro followed by the rocking guitars. Drops nice and soft for the vocals, nice contrast. Not keen on the overly processed vocal sound in the verse though.

The vocals go all shouty in what I take to be the chorus. Cannot understand any of these words.Not so keen on this bit.

The bass and drums are good and solid throughout.

Like the change of feel with the different sounds at 2.40. From 3.20 to 3.55 sounds a lot like Bob Mould of Husker Du.

The song is a bit long but the various changes maintained my interest.

Liked the samples at the end.

Good job.

Cool drum intro
Cool drum intro, kinda like the Van Halen song, "Hot for Teacher". The distortion in the guitars adds to the power of the song. I'm not sure if thats a second voice during the verse or just an effect, but I don't think you need it, it just distracts from the lead vocal. Im not a big fan of the growl-like screaming, but I understand that it makes up much of the metal genre. This song sounds like Slipknot, mainly dues to the second voice that is talking underneath. The song is pretty fun to rock out to, not overly catchy, but a pretty good metal song.

Tight
Love the drums on intro(cool!!), guitars sound awesome. Vocal melodys are good and original sounding. I love the tone that the guitarist was able to create. Excellent screams!
This is one tight band!! The only thing I heard that sounded a bit off was the effect on the vocals at 0:40 all the way to 1:12. The melody that the singer is using is so good that it should be in your face(the effect seems to take away from that). I hope to hear you guys in the future!!!! Peace

this sounds good
the fx use on the vocals right at the beginning is a bit strange though but your shouts are evil as hell. actually i don`t like this alien voice effect it adds an unhealthy feeling to the overall sound. everything is tight recorded very professional engineered but the guitar riffs could be a little fancier. add a bit more diversity to the riffing and this is well done. the breakdown part at 4:07 fits perfectly what favours the arrangement and songwriting capabilities. just have the riffs a bit complexer and i am happily happy. but thats personal taste.

Kick ass
Christ not too many bands come off this strong right out of the gate. You've probably gotten a lot of comments already on this next point--Yes, the vox effects in the verse are too much. Wicked chorus. Great players in the band, Tight. Bridge was a perfect departure. Gotta give us basses a light sometimes too!

The Far Side
That which keeps you warm at night
I am reminded of Emerson, Lake and Palmer in this number the tone of the acoustic guitar intro is appealing.
I'm still pondering the Hook: It gets you thinking. It's one of those lines that keep going around in your head. I guess that's what you want from a hook.

A mixture of different moods
I dig the intro and the guitar. The overall feel reminds me of alternative music from the late 90's.

Good song
Well arranged and performed.Good use of acoustic in the intro.A strongly sung melody,good voice.The interlude is well thought out.Drums are clear and powerfull. Keys are tasy especialy in that middle interlude.Cool track.

good transition
I like the feel of this one. I liked the reverb.. to no reverb vox sound at the beginning. LOVED the dark verse to UP chorus that made a nice transition... good work.

Acoustic and spacy!
Very nice arrangement, great sound, interesting vocals. Lyrics different, nice harmonies, great instrumental interplay, great musicianship. Nice mood development and pacing.Very good, keep it up.

Usic Munique
I really like the mood of this track. Its solemn, not depressing.
The guitars are very clean and precise. (Had to play it a fourth time) The piano and (i quess)synth sounds are just loud enough to give an atmosphere. The production is clean and pure. Very nice. The only thing i have to say negative is that it seems that the vocals follow the other instruments too closely in parts where there is room for an melody off the beaten path. But that is just an opinion. I really like the piano before the last chorus, nice relaxing breakdown. Great track and keep up the good work.

Mellow Rock
You've created a good mood here. The bass and the guitar flow nicely together. The overall production was good. Good vocals too, add them all up and you have a good track.

Take a giant step
Great song. I like the energy and underlying melancholy in this piece. The vocalist has a mellow tone and style that is accentuated hugely by the harmonies. The backing instrumentation is very solid (I really dig the seg around 3:20- nice break in the tune), but there are times (not often) when the gtrs are a bit loud (mainly at the very end, where they tend to overshadow the vox a bit). Also, the piano at 4:30 could come up a bit. It adds a nice quality to the piece, but it's swimming upriver. Aside from those petty gripes (which could be just a matter of taste), this is a good solid song- well done.

I like the sound and feel. The vocals are good and strong and theres a nice mix of guitar sound and synth effects.

I love the break in the music at around the 3 minute mark. It reminds me of Yes. Very mellow.

Overall great song. Good keyboard work too. The song is long, but it doesn't seem long, it really draws me in.
