I like the gritty synth bass and atmospheric synths at the beginning. The panning with the guitars was cool, and by around :30 the texture comes together nicely. The melodic content at 1:39 was quite enjoyable, and the following guitar solo was great as well. The mixing is really tight here. The coda seemed a little rushed, especially for a piece with a pretty slow pace (one emotional height in 2.5 minutes). Still, it’s hard to find things to complain about here. The structure could’ve used a bit more fleshing out, I guess - usually I’m skeptical of the one-climax model - but the rushed ending is the only thing that actively bothers me. Keep up the good work, IYD! ;)

9.25/10

Heh... Dunno what the other guys were thinking, I can tell this is a different direction and so it's fine that the synthy stuff was a bit louder (except at 1:45 where it actually is too loud). This is a really cool track with heavy vibes that keep it grounded in the genre while exploring new avenues.

Added to my mp3 player...

The drums are a bit too thin and clean for my taste and the synths overpower the guitars, but generally nice track, I like the lead guitar. You could add some more additional guitars to play some rhythmical bends, some glissando, string noises and play with panning.
