1Overall Description
I like listening to new age rock or hard rock songs especially when the singer has such a suitable voice for such a genre. "semi-pro" work , but i will say this track is only for big fans of the specific genre cause there are some minor issues that could be resolved in order to achieve a better result. Really good effort though!
 
2Creativity Description
This song is definatelly original , you can't go wrong on this one... it is exactly as it sais , a hard rock piece. Still , there is nothing so special about this song. I'd say its a pretty average track with common drumming , common guitars , common structure and a quite original and proffesional singer.
 
3Arrangement Description
Well , i have some objections about the arrangement in this song. First of all , the song starts from the first second with all the instruments playing , i felt like someone was crushing my head. Maybe it was the artists choice but i guess a small intro would give a better first impression. Secondly ,i think the guitars are a bit louder than they should be. turning down a bit the volume would give more space for the kicks and hats that sound really low plus more space for the voice. Just a little bit. The rest is all great!
 
4Sound Quality Description
The sound quality is really good. As i mentioned , sounds like a semi pro work, but those minor issues that i mentioned above give a certain feeling that something has been done not right.
 
5Vocals Description
The vocals are just perfect! i couldn't imagine such a song without vocals , and definatelly without these! A very good performance suitable for that genre 100%!
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Oh yes it works. This song reminded me of a very good group i really liked to listen to called , "from automn to ashes". And that means it worked for me. Even as it is , with its minor flaws (and thats my opinion) , it can stand on its own.

ha... if the whole head-crushing comment is true for everyone else, I did what I was going for :-P Thanks for the review and I'll try to rework some of the mixing issues.
