 Killer tone from that PRS, man. Very nice chord progression, I'd try and develop it a little more. I can hear a rhythm section in my head, but it stands alone with the guitars. Vocals were a little buried, I caught most of the words, but not quite enough to fully get the lyrical image, I guess you could say.

This is more of a movie background piece than a song...as a song...the intro is way too long...there's just too many effects on everything...can't understand the words....that being said....You could pitch it to TV or Movies....

Really liked this one a lot. Great music, but vocals buried in the mix to the point of being almost undistinguishable. What I could hear of the voice sounded good. Constant pausing to buffer by Media Player made listening a challenge. I had to judge by putting the pieces together in my head.

Love the guitar melody line on this one Alex. I'd really like to hear this track complete with a rhythm section. The vocals are a bit buried in the mix with all of the effects. Overrall this is a really solid effort and would be a cool piece of a film score.

Alex.... I feel bad leaving this rating because you liked our song... Not that I don't like the music man...it's just that it is all verse...repetative and screaming for a change up to a chorus... The lead guitar tone and melodies however are excellent... Great production there for sure..... I cannot comment on the lyric however because I can make it out... The vox is so low...don't be shy man...I even hear some decent tonal harmony vox here...I just can't make out the words... Work on this some more man...it's worth it. Take good care, Joe Rogier

Why on earth did you add the vocals? The instrumental portion is very good. The melody would have been better showcased using a keyboard or perhaps something like a pan flute. A little more percussion might be in order. This is a pretty good example of world-beat.

i hate assigning numerical values...

nice progression... but i'd like to hear some further elaboration... my suggestions (which obviously you're free to ignore) - either 1) add a B section or chorus - add a chunky, fat bass and hard-hitting drums, and go for the metal/punk renaissance thing (could still be down-tempo) or

2) modulate the dynamic of the song by elaborating the arrangements, ie adding even more texture in sections, progressively - i personally REALLY liked the vocal effects in this song... i think you could swing even more in that direction - add some electronic/dub/techno rhythms (or dark industrial techno - a la NIN or marilyn manson), samples, etc...

either way, i'd contrast the (imo very successful) airy/electro vocals with other, darker + thicker textures.

on its own, a nice melody + progression, but needs some further development.

I think this song has a lot of potential. But as it is, it feels like something is missing. The overall production is not bad but the progression is far to repetitions and kinda looses me halfway through it. I think if some kind of bridge or change up were added it would improve the song a lot. Still there is a lot of promise in that song if it were maybe developed a bit more.

Great set-up, takes me somewhere really nice but I haven't the words to express it. But when does it get into the big Pink Flloyd-esque rock number with the power drums and crowds cheering? That's what I was waiting for. It's a great intro to something potentially huge, but then it just stops. I wasn't bored or anything, you could let it go on this long but it needs to turn into the main event at some point. I feel somewhat cheated out of a song as a result. :-) If the category was 'Best Song Intro', this'd win for sure!

Alex-

As a herpetological kind of guy, I definitely like the title. :) The guitar sounds awesome -- very 80's, heavy metal kind of thing; but, the intro is too long and the song never really takes off. The vocals need to be way more out front and probably kicked up an octave. This is screaming to be screamed. Belt it out! And pick up the tempo, too. Then drop back to the intro. tempo and guitar part, and the soft vocals at the end. Same intro. (only shorter), kick up the vocals and tempo. during the verses, then back to the intro. sound t the end.
