Foken amazing man.

you for sure have developed your own sound guy way to go.
A bit messy.
You've got some nice melodies, and a good concept, but you need to improve on a lot of things.
First, a lot of your synths sound really messy. To begin with, you've got some lower synths here that are way better when used in higher register.
I liked your lead at 2:46 by the way, sounds nice and raw.
Also, a lot of your synths do not blend well together. They create a lot of noise and high frequencies, making it rather tough for your ears to listen to.
You should also try to EQ your kick and give it a little more punch and not too much middle frequencies. Just try to mess around with it, you'll get the hang of it the more you do it.
I know it's supposed to sound rather raw and messy, but there's also the kind of messy that sounds a little more organized.
And just a quick note about the whole mastering thing: I read you might want to pay someone to master your tracks. You could also just use the money to improve your sound card, or simply buy some good headphones. Also, when you're planning to make your first album, you have make it a free album. First you have to develop your own synths, sounds, techniques and style, improve a lot, gather a somewhat larger fanbase, stop using presets and then slowly start to sell your tracks and giving the guys previews and demo's. If you do things like that right now, hardly anyone will buy your album.
Not trying to be an asshole with my nose in someone else's business, but I really think you shouldn't let it get to you that fast. I'm not telling you to be negative about all of your work, but just be a little more picky about what you do and also your previous works and how you can improve on that. Listen to what others do and try to learn from what they have that makes their songs sound like they do.
I've already said too much, but good luck and keep it up man! You've got potential!
Cheers,
Me trying hard not to sound like an asshole :P

I don't mind the critique at all actually, helps me to improve, but to be 100% honest, I didn't actually do any mastering to this at all. I just wanted to make something and upload it. maybe i will go back and edit it, but to be honest I probably won't. and I have gotten better at mastering as my later songs have shown. it's just I don't always feel like mastering EVERY single song I make.
Nice Nexus
Auto-arpeggios sure are easy to use , and your lead sounds a little outpitched
i9incher responds:
I like how you went to all my industrial tracks and ranked them down. good job. you get a cookie. and I didn't use nexus. at all actually. vanguard and toxic biohazzard. but of course me being poor and unable to afford decent speakers and thus having to eyeball and guess things I suppose that's how things happen.
