i love cowbells. i like this one. drum  all tracks should do like this on does at 3:59 which is change the frequency or rythym.  Its a good idea to change just the frequency or change something like was done here on this one, it helps prevent monotony for the listener. great track one of my favorites.  Bow

this is one of my favorites  drum.  the bass that rises in key is great, the key to ecstacy.  drums good, and the basslines are great.

evil! Evil it does not sound like cheesee evil at all. and that sound that starts at 44: is great. kind of sound like its saying "holla if you hear me" the buildup back into the groove is good. nice transitions marked by the cymbal. really good and great to listen to a whole bunch

Evil killer acid man! rough, and impresive. It all fits well together, and I could picture a crowd dancing around to in a club, very chill breaks to contrast the hardcore rhythyms.

i like the mood created by the smooth pads, Shocked and the other wah type sound really good, im into the melodic components, and the bass fits well. The cymbal is a nice touch.  Drums are really good as well. nice jungle sounds Jawdropping!

nice builup, i like the song but, the bass is a bit overpoewerd by the high frequencies. the sound that is like a wip is bit to lound. Cool  very nice string/orchestral sounds melody.

nice guitar, and the bringing in of elements is nice, I like how the sounds change and how you anounce the changes.  The vox is a bit to out there on my speakers like around 2:28. nice happy moood. Smiling

wiked intro, sounds like the haunted sewers, Evil drums are good and driven and grungy.  sounds to me like the drums were faster than the rest of the sounds somehow I wanted the bass to sound faster. to explain maybe more notes of bass than are present.

beats are intricate, and the variation after the break are cool, surreal atmosphere of sounds, about something wonderfull going to happen.  the mixing sounds good, clean and loud here on my end.  like the rhythym. Cool the melody was not very smoth to listen to sounded like the notes were going to fast towards the end.

intersting samples, fit well. the bass sounds like a lion roaring, thats good. oh yeah the drop in is good, bass fits well with the drums. dark, very dark, nice fx type sound coming, it ends kind of funny, maybe you had some technical dificulties Puzzled
