Tried to keep it as simple as I can. (Fun fact: The first title was Simple.) Then went crazy with the percussions. Still could use some more.
Enjoy!

The riff at the beginning is catchy, although I think the synths you used sound a tad unpolished and generic. The crashes starting at :21 are a little too loud, and the snare might’ve even been too soft, although I really like the catchy riff at :32. I think the piece could use a little more harmonic variety and contrast, as it gets pretty repetitive after a while. The second refrain at 1:25 sounds pretty similar to the first, and overall I thought you could’ve done a lot more with the composition here. The transition at 1:04 is also a little sudden. Some filtering work or maybe a drum fill would probably help make it a bit smoother. Overall, the production quality is pretty good and there are a lot of good harmonic and rhythmic ideas here, but I wanted to see you do a little more with variety, phrasing, and the compositional details. Keep at it, Csucskos! :)

Thank you!

These kind of detailed reviews help me immensely. I'll definitely get back to this track to perfect it, although it is an older track.

To be honest, the second refrain is exactly the same as the first one, as I didn't want to bring anything jarring into the melody, to make sure, the listener feels safe after the adventure, getting back to the familiar melody. I'll experiment with more variety, but finding the balance between variety and familiarity is always hard.

I don't feel the same about the transition, maybe because I've already listened to this track many times. I'll make experimental changes there to see if that makes it better, but I'm not sure if it really needs that.

Anyways, you had a great deal of good points, so thank you for giving directions about what to look into more.

Ooo I love the little impact at 00:10. But the beat at 00:21, the cymbals are a little overused.

all 5 stars !!!
