I like the first song, but you've gotta work on the guitar a bit... your rhythm is way out of whack at the beginning of the song, and the main riff for the guitar is extremely choppy.

I agree with the guy above when he says the transitions are bad -- they aren't nearly as smooth as it should be. Over all it feels like you haven't practiced these songs enough together.

dont like the drumming - too simple, the beginning of the 1st one hes completely out of time which screws up the guitarist - tell him to elaborate a lil bit more

guitarist kept making mistakes i think :S


guitar solo's just kicked in and didnt really go with the song :(

guitar sounds really out of tune on the first song, maybe its just the quality, and the singer sounds like he is praying to allah while he sings.

Laughably bad.


Singer sounds really stupid, like he's faking his voice, tell him to sing naturally. As well as the things other people mentioned above^

Could be decent with a lot of practice, and a metronome.

I think the transitions and timing are the worst. Much of it could be fixed with a better quality recording.

There are some good things going though, just keep practicing.
