Thank you Shanlix! I appreciate it :)

Cool ;)

I like the suspenseful mood at the beginning and crisp string riff at :15. Once the drums come in, the compression is a bit heavy for my tastes, and I think the sidechaining distorts the string lines more than is necessary. The breaks at 1:14 were really catchy and intense, but that section also seemed a bit too dragged-out. Adding the vocals during the bridge was a great idea, but the processing on them was a bit heavy compared to the orchestral flair of the rest of the piece. The lyrics themselves are also enjoyable, though, and I liked the build-up into 3:00. I might’ve liked to hear a little more variety in the drop the second time around compared to the first, but it was still an effective way of hitting the piece home. Overall, I commend you for the clean mix, progression, sound design, and atmosphere of this one. Some aspects of the piece seemed a bit over-produced, and aspects the arrangement were a bit generic, but otherwise you’ve made a dramatic, catchy, and compelling track here, Benji. Keep it up! ^_^
