I listened to this while eating a banana
and now whenever I eat a banana this song plays in my head.
Great song, but the beginning really turned me off, because it was jsut too serene to go with the epic sound of the rest of the song. Although, I would have pumped up the tempo by like 10 bpm, and gave the guitar more prominence, I still love this song and I think it goes great in Colony, which is a game that I love :P

Great! It does make someone speechless.
Fits nicely to the game colony.
Epic!, I must listen to it again.
Superb
The piano notes seem to go a bit too high - pianos almost never sound good played that high. Maybe bring it down an octave? The piano sample in general doesn't sound particularly impressive, actually.
Of course, that's nothing compared to the awesomeness of the rest of the track. I can't even keep track of the plethora of chords you throw the melody around in. The song is extremely varied and yet is able to sustain a theme throughout the entire piece, and does a superb job blending rock and orchestral genres, although I didn't hear much electronica in there (but then almost everything these days has elements of that).
The piece seems a bit quiet, but the volume is good considering its background music for a game. I still think some of the instruments could use a bit better EQ work for that professional feel. The instruments just don't sound crisp enough, and some more powerful higher frequencies would help out there a lot. I keep thinking the guitar should be a little stronger too, but I'm not sure about that.
The guitar solo near the beginning bothers me because its very empty sounding. There's just the guitar and some drums and a few quiet strings. The soundscape is really lost there and it feels unfinished.
Everything else, of course, is crazy good.
8/10
5/5
Awesome review! Lots of great ideas in there, I'm going to go work on some of those things and probably re-upload. Unfortunately the piano sounds I have aren't great, but I have some awesome ones in the mail as I type this, so I'll redo that once those get here, which should make a big difference. EQing has always been something I'm trying to improve, since that can really make or break a piece.
Thanks for the review, I'll be returning the favor soon!
A very interesting piece
A like the melody in the beginning in the end. It seemed as a very interesting way to introduce and conclude the piece. The violins at around 0:55 seems good for a sort of close combat scene and the electric guitar added in some nice dramatic effects to the piece and game. I didn't really like the slow paced part around 4:00. The gradual speed, however, I liked. At around 4:20, the strings kind of lead the piece longer than it should be. Overall I like it 4/5
