Pretty good ^^
This is a good rock, song, thanks for requesting it so that we can have a break from all of the Dance/Trance songs that get submitted to the Review Request Club. Anyway, in general this is alright, sure it has bad mixing, but it's a pretty nice song which is enjoyable too listen to. Keep up the good work :).
The melodies were actually very impressive, especially for a rock song. The main ariff was good, and there were some other nice sounding riffs such as the one at 0:42 and the riff at 1:11 was really cool. All in all the riffs were great, and there were quite a few riffs throughout the song too, so this didn't get too boring. Good job on the riffs ^^.
The sound quality, unfortunately, is very bad. It really ruins this submission. The guitars sound muddy and hard to understand properly, and the drums aren't amazing quality either. Mixing and EQing could be a tad bit better too. Still, the guitar didn't sound absolutely horrible, and I suppose it was alright to listen to it playing such great riffs :).
The transitions are great, except some drum transitions, such as when you moved from a beat with loads of fast cymbals to a slower and emptier beat, which was much too abrupt, and almost random. Some transitions from riff to riff could use some work, such as at 0:23, but all in all, the transitions were fine. Pretty good job on the transitions :D.
The structure, for a Rock song like this, is actually very good. I definitely won't complain on the structure. The variety was also alright, but some riffs were repeated too many times. I'd suggest adding a few more subtle changes to your riffs, so that they won't be so predictable.
The intro wasn't too good; maybe you could go for the simple but effective way by starting it really softly with a few soft plucks on the guitar, and then build up to main song. The ending is abrupt, but that can easily be fixed by slowing everything down till you go to the final note (a ritardando if you know music). Also, the ending note could have been more powerful (maybe you could add a crash to it).
The drums are impressive, and although some drum transtitions could definitely use some work, the drums complimented the guitar really well, and the beats were great. I think that the kick could be more powerful though, and the snare is too weak. Cymbals and tom-tom drums were fine. By the way, the drum roll you did at 0:50 was epic. Good job with the drums; as the other reviewers said, the drums were great.
In general, this is an impressive rock song, but the fact that its sound quality is so bad, mixing could use work, and your repeated the same riffs a little too much, topped up with some nitpicks I mentioned, ruin the song a little. Still, keep up the great work, I hope to hear more unique tracks from you! ^^
