| Diminished Returns by Eidolonia | 2 months ago |
| This really is good. I don't have any criticisms as such, so I'll just point the highlights, which for me were the vocals - a very impressive delivery indeed, very close to professional sounding. And even more so the solo section which was impressive both technically and from an artistic perspective. It really added that final touch, which is what a solo should do! I am in awe. |

| Favourite. It really does tell a story. I can see you've taken a variety of musical influences and made it into something truly original. I'd suggest improvements, but you've got me stumped on this one. You're very succesful at not allowing the focus of the piece to be centered exclusively on the guitar. The acoustic sections are beautifully executed. I'm definitely feeling the energy in the final section. You're certainly in control of the atmosphere throughout, and you use it to stunning effect. A video showing your plot outline would be amazing, but obviously that's as good as impossible to acheive without bags of cash, and the help of a record label. This is definitely a triumph, and never ceases to be interesting, despite it's epic length. Well done, I'm stunned by your creative talent. TheUnheard x |

| Where I Am by herrsolera | 7 months ago |
 This is one of the most ambitious projects, and one of the craziest concepts I've heard on here, and yet you've managed to get everything to slot together perfectly. The musicianship shows wide and varied talent, and the vocals fit the style perfectly and provide that Latin atmosphere. This is the kind of music I'd be more than happy to hear in restaurants and so on, as well as at home, it has an ambience to it that makes me smile and want to move. If music can do that to me I know it's good. My only gripe would be that the electric guitar tone seems slightly thin at points. I'm not sure what's going on here, as this isn't the case all the way through but it's probably just me! In any case, this is an extremely good piece of music. Brilliant work. |

This is an exceptional, professional sounding track. Reminds me a lot of Radiohead, although it sounds different from them at the same time. I love the dark sound, the fuzz and ring effects compliment the track perfectly. The vocals are indeed as close to perfect as anything I've heard on here. Even though I wouldn't usually listen to this kind of stuff, this one's an instant favourite for me. Excellent stuff. TheUnheard x |

| Starting from the start, the intro's good, there are a few very tiny glitches in the guitar playing but they're negligible. From what I can hear, the guitar work is good, but that sound really is hurting it. It could definitely do with being higher as opposed to the bass, which is doubly prominent as it's much more clearly recorded. As for the vocals - yep great delivery, as Eido said. The singer definitely has their own individual style. I'm not sure whether I'm all that keen on some parts of the drums but its a taste matter, it would be nice to have something more organic though. I'm liking the breakdown type part, and the solo backing immediately after. The solo itself sounds as though it'd be great with some clearer tone, there's some great licks there, but at the moment it's causing my speakers to make some rather unpleasant squeaking noises. I would say that this is maybe just a little too long - the chorus is used quite a few times, and you risk becoming repetetive. There are maybe a few parts of this song you could probably lose to make it more concise, without losing the essence and message. Don't be afraid to cut parts out if they're not necessary. Still, overall, this is pretty good stuff! The Unheard x |

| Engage after 6am (w/Vegetal & Lifeaftersix) by lunatrick | 7 months ago |
| This is very industrial sounding. I agree with Illuminator on the point about bringing the drums down, just to put a little more emphasis on the guitars. Loving the use of effects - they give an almost trance-like feel to parts of the music, it'd definitely go down well at the local rock night in Morecambe. And that is some rather insane lead guitar work, not the style I usually listen to, but I can definitely appreciate the ability you display here. Vocals would be nice just to give a bit more variation, but then who am I to talk? Good work TheUnheard. x |

| Fit to Be Tied by Ignoramus | 7 months ago |
| Really nice work here. You've made the 3/4 time signature work for you, and it's really paid off. The guitar work is extremely tight with an excellent solo in the middle of the song, not to mention the solo at the outro, which brings the whole piece to a screaming climax. The piano and acoustic work is truly beautiful, and immaculate (but of course) along with sublime backing vocals, which lend so much atmosphere to those quiet interludes. The lead vocals ain't shabby either - the singer has a very distinctive voice, and a fair degree of talent. The drums may be computerised, but regardless, they're very tastefully used, and real sounding. My only suggestion would be that some extra chunk for the rhythm section would have given the song more power in the distorted sections, but that's a matter of opinion! All things said, this was certainly a project worth saving, and congratulations to all involved for producing such a mature and well thought-through piece of music. TheUnheard x |

| Watch Them Die by TheUnheard | 7 months ago |
| Hey everyone, just to say, thanks for the crit. The drums are actually played by a machine in this track, but that you'd even think it might be real makes me a happy man! My band is actually looking for a drummer at the moment, so I guess we're in for a bit of a wait! By the way herrsolera, you're right, it is a bit loud - I guess I got lazy by that stage and there's actually three guitars in that part of the song - the lead guitar continues to play the same as the rhythm, and the solo was laid over that, so that probably explains the noise! And yeah the high notes are a bit shrill, if anyone has any ideas how to alter my lead tone to get rid of that, please tell me! Thanks Will x |

| [Shadows] Eternal by Eidolonia | 1 year ago |
Hey this was pretty good. That tone sounds very nice indeed, and some nice riffs in there. The keyboards are probably my favourite part though. Sounds a little different which is always good of course, my only gripe was that it began to get a little repetitive, but by the time you notice that it's almost finished anyway! This is a good little piece. |
