First of all, you got a real thing for drums man!
I like this song a lot. The drums and the crazy distorted melody go together very well. Then you got that breakdown type of thing on the drums. Sounds great with the string sounds you got going.
For being a full version I'm disappointed. It ends much too soon and the beat is so catchy I wanted to hear more. Indeed, what I would call a musical cliffhanger.
I somehow let this one slip by me - for the MAC that is. I'm listening to it now and I'm pretty much beyond the hopes of winning that thing any more. Way too many good entries and the wait is killing me. I'll review that one separately though.
Back to the full version. Your best feature is definitely the drums. This was true with Antagonist as well (those drum rolls were sick). That catchy synth rhythm goes well with the percussion and the string sound help a lot too. Some parts sound a little too distorted and the drums sound maybe over-compressed a bit, which adds a good feel to them... but maybe just a little too much compression this time around.
The overall diversity is lacking, but its catchy and I like the breakdowns, especially the last that ends the song. The way the high hat taps to that one simply amuses my ears.
I voted 5 for Static Call (Full Version...), keeping its score at 5.00. Just thought I'd let you know.
And for the third time let me emphasize that drums are awesome. Keep the cool music coming, very fun to listen to. I rarely listen to tracks after I download them, but this is definitely one I will. So until my next review...

haha, drummer for 4 years. I understand rhythem, it's melody I usually have trouble with....haha, best review i've recieved yet...wait,...no...one guy said one of my songs was sexy...that was odd, but very amusing.
So far, the two problems I'm finding about this track would be the drums are too distorted and the track in just too short...arrr. Eh.
Thanks for the awsome review. I'll keep in mind that people like it when I play with the rhythem. I think I get better feed back when I work harder on the drums. As for your mac 7 entries, I thought they were awsome. I loved glitch. It was really atmospheric and just so cool. I also loved how slaughter looped. SO COOL! I think you have a chance man. Don't give up hope man :D
