First of all I gotta say I really liked how the track opened with that chord. Just immediately sets the atmosphere. A bit abrupt yes, but getting straight to the point works really well for this kind of track imo. I really like the chord progression you have going on for the first section. The chord voicing is really nice and it builds a lot of tension. The melody is a bit weak though, kinda feels like you aren't committing to anything and just playing different melodies that don't blend together that well. For section like that I personally prefer to treat all the melodies like a singular, one minute long melody. That way I remember to make sure that the melodies flow well together.

I actually really like the idea of the transition. I do feel like there is a better way to make the two parts blend better together, because right now it really ends up sounding like two different tracks. The main issue to me is that you immediately cut all the atmosphere as soon as the guitars are introduced. You have this really nice wide and wet piano going on for a minute, but then you transition to dry guitars that are very in the center. I think part of it has to do with your piano being of such higher quality than the rhythm guitar, but if you had made the guitars a little bit wider and added a bit more reverb it would have worked a lot better imo. I do get that you were going for a "in your face" transition, I've been there done that, but I've eventually realized that while those kind of transition can sound great for the maker, for a listener listening for the first time it's a bit too abrupt.

The section itself is really nice. As I said before the guitars are a bit low quality which the dryness kinda emphasizes. Reverb is your friend when wanting to hide low quality samples as long as you don't overdo it. You did a much better job here with the melodies. It's nice, catchy and flows really well. Nice work! I wish you had changed the guitar rhythm and drumb beat a little bit though. It gets a bit tiring to listen to after a while.

Overall this was a really interesting track. I would never expect anyone ot face the scenario this way, but it was a really interesting listen and you properly depicted the journey of a hero. Really hope you continue trying wacky transitions like this. I'm talking from experience when I say that if you keep doing it you will eventually figure out how to make it work really well. Hope the stuff I've written has made any sense, and if you got any questions feel free to ask :)

Oh yeah! The fast paced part is really kickin'.
Good Job!

This is great. From the solemn first part, to the kickass second part with a fitting "let's do this" transition. I particularly like the instrumentation in the 2nd part. Only minor quibble would be that the 2nd part seems to get a bit repetitive, as the chord progression and guitar melody seems to remain exactly the same for the whole ~2 minutes.

It's always difficult to make a transition from one feeling to another, at least for me at this point, but I think you managed to do it naturally, how I think it should be. This sure evokes the forgotten and the journey ambient it was created to.
