[Boss Battle - Variation]

The notation was done very well, it's a very musically sound piece. Unfortunately, the mixing just isn't quite there. There seems to be both high and low quality samples used in there, and without a proper mix-down, it seems more like multiple isolated melodic lines playing at the same time instead of sounding like a cohesive song. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way though, I gave it 4.5 stars because I really enjoyed this song. I just think that with a little more attention spent on the final mix this song would be a solid 5.

I disagree, but respect your opinion. Perhaps the fact that I'm mixing with headphones could be a problem, but until I get a better speaker system it's what I have to use.

[Shiver me Liver]

Really enjoyable ditty. Reminds me of my drinking days, going out to the local pubs with my roommates (they were Irish brothers) and having a great time. Thanks for the memories.

acmeDyne responds:

Nice! I wish I could remember my drinking days.

[Crash and Burn]

I've never been a huge metal guy myself. My favorite song from In Flames is Leeches, I prefer Opeth's Damnation album to everything else, and I'm a fan of Killswitch Engage (As I'm not really a part of the metal scene I have no idea how much credibility any of that gains or loses for me). Having said that, I really enjoyed this track. I've always been a fan of concept albums as well, so I'll be looking forward to the other works in this story.

Dnman responds:

Thank you, I have the music for the songs done already. First and third song don't have lyrics yet though and I have to redo some of the lyrics in a couple songs to make them relate to the new theme better. So when I post the first song I'm also gonna say whats going on in story. It will be called Chasing a Dream, keep your eyes pealed. And Damnation is one of my favorite albums of all time.
