I can't criticize anything here. In my opinion the song is pretty much perfect in every way, I can listen to it more than 20 times over and it still doesn't get boring :P
The beginning is really solid, takes you with it right off the bat.
That's all I can say. Definitely 10/10 and a five ( 4.18 / 5.00 (+ 0.0027) ).

Nicely done with molding them all together. The different sections fit well together, which is a really nice thing. Quite nice riffs and leadwork there.
The qualms with this in my opinion is the muffly sound of the guitars, drums being way too quiet. You may want to test EQing the guitars so that you take away some of the middle frequencies, thus making them more sharper toned while still maintaining the texture. And taking the drums volume up a notch.
Otherwise a good track. It's a -2 for mixing problems, but 8/10 is on the good side, and I'm picky :P And you shall receive a five ( 4.19 / 5.00 (+ 0.41) ).

Crap, I actually noticed both of those things after I put the song up, and hoped i was just being picky XD. This calls for posting an updated mix. Thanks for the feedback!

Really strong emotions. Use of instruments is really good, but if I'd have to criticize something, I would try to spread the instruments around the stereo channel some more, right now there's little space left for dynamics. But that's me being nitpicky, the piece is amazing nevertheless.
10/10 and a five ( 4.26 / 5.00 (+ 0.023) ).

"Really nice going with this."
While being quite ambientic, the song pretty much took me with it right from the start.
I really like the soundscapes. The mixing is spot on; alot of variety between sections while still maintaining a rather soundwall-ish approach. And six and half minutes man! It gets hard (read: takes alot of time) for me to make a complicated song that's over 3 minutes, let alone doubling that amount :P
I will be surprised if no one will ask you to use it in a Flash submission. This would be solid gold for a cinematic soundtrack. Be proud of yourself.

Thank you very much ! Well, I usually don't like making long songs, because sometimes length breaks the focus of the main ideas, but in this case, I worked on it for a long time. I found that doing a song, then leaving it for a few days and then working on it some more helps. For this song, I worked on and off for about a month. Once again, thank you for the review, and I'm glad you liked it so much.

Good guitar tone you got there. I recommend recording the same riff twice for both channels or moving the other channel's record some milliseconds forward to get stereo widening for the guitars. And lifting the guitar volume up a notch, the drums drown it a little.
Otherwise, nice going. Bit repetitive and too short, so 9/10 and a five ( 4.28 / 5.00 (+ 0.012) ).

Heh heh, that's a synthesized guitar ^_^ Thanks for the compliment on the realism though. Glad you liked it. Thanks! :D

I haven't got much to say, the mix was well rounded, the song was rather serious and funny at the same time. Kickass, no doubt. Love how you managed to make a song like this from a subject like that, and how it continues on and on :P
You're a good singer, I must point that out.
Have yourself a well-earned 10/10 and a five ( 4.20 / 5.00 (+ 0.0069) ).

Thanks a lot dude! Sorry I didn't answer earlier... Been quite busy.
I really love the funny/seriousness of this song. All personal experience haha
Finally have some time to write some reviews, too. I'll get right to your monster with BoB and Xeno!

The guitar riffs are nasty as fuck. The drums beat the living shit out of me, very nice job.
I think you should lift the guitars volume up a notch though. The drums drown them a bit. Other than that, very nice. I'm awaiting for the full version anxiously.
10/10 and a five ( 3.84 / 5.00 (+ 0.013) ).

We share the same appetite!
This is brutal. I'd kinda want the vocals to be a little bit louder, though that's nitpicking, since you can still hear the words clearly :P
Let's stamp a 10/10 and a five on it.
Author's Response:
lol... mmm... guts for dinner!
yeah, the vox man... i did mention this in the notes... the problem is that in different setups, the centre channel (vox channel etc) will be louder/quieter... I've found that in places with poor stereo separation (biggest offender = computer speakers) the centre channel is too loud. In setups with good stereo separation (headphones being the extreme of this) the centre channel is a bit quieter.
At the end of all the stress, i went for somewhere in the middle.
Cheers for the review!

I must say, the intro pretty much took me with it right away. The riff right after that is fucking badass, man :P
Props to the mixing and riff-making. In my opinion the guitar is a maybe a lil too scratchy though, the overall sound of it other than that is really nice however, with the palm mutes chugging quite nicely. And the acoustic part sounds a bit foreign, nice :P Nice soloing too, this is quite the solid package.
10/10 and a five (4.27 / 5.00 (+ 0.013)).
