I spent a little more time mixing and arranging drum parts for this song because of the ridiculously complex riffs I've been writing lol. Oh, and also I used a real bass this time. It's just a bass that I borrowed from our church.

I don't have much commentary due to high quality. Great work!

The few comments I have relate to mix and drum sample choice. As time goes on, I can really hear the focus on the guitar riffs, which while fantastic and super clean, the primary lead element of the track even, are just a bit too loud relative to everything else, particularly the bass and snare, which should be the loudest elements. They are about appropriate in volume on the big chorus though!

I have gripes with EZ Drummer cymbals, the exception being your ride. I think they could be swapped out for something a little less bright, with more articulations/round robins.

The snare just needs a little more compression and eq, plus a boost of maybe .3 dB in the mix to punch through. That might change if the rhythm guitars were taken down some. Manually modulating these levels for different sections would solve a lot of volume issues. Alternatively, you could crank the velocity of the snare some, then back it off later.

Masterful composition. Sounds like the spankiest anime rock I've ever heard, and I've listened to a lot. Great work!

9.2/10
