I don't see where the immense hype about these songs comes from.
It's just a bunch of collected repetitive riffs, really. The drums are generic and redundant, and there is no bassline or lower frequencies to help this song keep an interesting background rhythm. It sounds empty, or unfinished.
With two lead instruments and no backing, it just makes the song very void. But hey, whatever you did, you got the masses to enjoy it. Maybe it was the concept, or the guitar hook. I don't know. It just doesn't have a sense of life to it to me.

Well, it's quite a simple song I'll give you that. I made the original version of it years ago. Basically the idea was to make the two instruments sound like they were 'battling' but at the same time sound good together.
I'm not sure why this is as popular as it is either, I guess there are a lot of people besides me who like this kind of music.

Phenomenal, this is really put together nicely. All of the elements used in this are pieced together just ever so powerfully. It flows and keeps your attention, I love it :D

Good, but work a bit more on your accuracy and lose a bit of the choppiness in the higher notes, it sounds much better in the long run. Keep shredding though.

I don't look at a lot of front page or popular material, but this caught my eye. Neat story, well executed, powerful musical progressions, it's flawless, awesome job.

Sounds like we're using the same keyboard, lol.
I like this, it had a good pace and overall flow to it.
Author's Response:
I assume you mean same keyboard as my other submissions. This was done on keyboard with guitar on a separate track.
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for reviewing!

Why can't my band cooperate like that? Great job, many props for yourselves, It's fuck hard to get a working band for me.
The vocals were very proper, the guitars and bass were spot on, and you managed to find a great drummer.
You guys can go far if you keep this effort up.

"Please listen to yourself when you play.."
Don't play things too hard or things that just come out messy, just play what feels natural, and what comes out right. I recommend finding a teacher or just practicing simple scales.
This is terrible, honestly. A one for your effort, at least.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I appreciate your honesty. And I think you're right man. I shouldn't play songs at my hardest. Thanks for the tips.
