"Long!"
date: May 28, 2008
Man, when you do a 04:39 minutes long song, you just have to put inside it more ideas. The main 'riff' is just OK, nothing new, but OK. Vocals are quite good. I like the introduction, and the ending is stunning. In my opinion, if you want to rearrange this song, make it a bit shorter. In a 3 minutes long song, 1:00-1:30 are made by the introduction and the ending. Basically, the listener does not have the time to be bored. If you just want to retry with this song, these are the ideas I would consider.
Don't give up man! Originality is not a instinct. You have to learn how to be it. Listen to music, compose, listen to music, compose. Is like learning to write poems or novels. You have to see how the masters do, and then try, considering that you may fail, to do some music by yourself. It's not easy. Try to not give up. 4/5.

About time somebody came with really usefull criticism.
And I think now I realize my downfall: When I really like some riff in the song (like it happened with the main riff here) I just put it in the song over and over, and the worst part is: when I do, I really think this song is awesome...
I'll take your advices and reconstruct this song.
