I like the bass groove at the beginning and the refreshing guitar riffs. The mix is nice and punchy, and the drums give the piece a nice sense of drive despite the relatively thin texture. The piece is a little slow to progress, but the melodic content at :57 is nice. The harmonic content gets a tad repetitive after a while, but I enjoyed the breakdown at 1:55. The drum fill leading into 2:38 was really nice, and the addition of the frantic synth patterns for the final refrain really helps hit the piece home. Overall, nice work with the production quality, sound design, mood, and progression. There could be a tad more depth to the harmonies here, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this track. Keep at it, LTGuitarist! ^_^
