"[About Now Or Never] Cool chorus. This is a good song, the chorus especially. I would not make as judicious use of the double kick, and maybe have a less hair-band-ish guitar solo." - ptelex

"[About Now Or Never] Days Of The..... At first i didnt think i was the right one to review this track. This is one i think would grow on a person. The vocals tend to remind me of Days Of The New. Quite original in the approach, and i love the lyrics. Something positive. The first break in the song made me wanna dance a bit. Its a cheeful upbeat number. The mix on this track is right on target. Overall i think they have something to offer to todays music.

"[About Now Or Never] Average. I do not care for the screaming vox on this one, much better in your verse. Guitars a little burried but that's a production issue so I'll leave that alone. Structurally, this song moves right along, nothing too special. Good drum work, I respect that. Work on the hook here, nothing grabs you and keeps you wondering. Keep it up. " - KOLERIK (Carbondale, Illinois)

"[About Now Or Never] Great instrumentals, dissapointing vocals. The opening is truly proffessional - it wouldn't seem out of place on a mix tape along with some of the giants of the industry, however, once the vocals kicked in, it was a dissapointment. There is no major problem with them on their own, but in context with the music they seem weak and insubstantial, and almost like the vocalist is muttering through the song in an embaressed manner. The attempt at the deep roaring at the begining also failed as well, and made the first impression of the vocals worse than it would have been otherwise. But the track is still saved by an otherwise flawless melody that comes across well-rehearsed and proffesional. Recommendation: A change in either style of vocals, or vocalist. Otherwise, a great track. You can feel there is some great song-construction behind this. Extra Credit: Guitars, Melody, Most Rocking Track." - rivalunit

"[About Now Or Never] Great production and drumming. The drums are the high point of this track for me. Really good double bass and mix of different patterns. The vocals need some work, the tone of the singers voice is not very appealing to me (too nasally). Good job. Extra Credit: Drums."- Jason_OU (Nova, Virginia)

"[About Now Or Never] rock. I dig the almost bluesy southern rock with a progressive twist that is introduced first. The band is tight and all playing and parts well done. But the vocals really just don't fit." - mochunk (Chicago, Illinois)

"[About Now Or Never] Yeah. This song has an interesting approach. The guitars are in the background a bit to give the spotlight to the vox, bass and drums. This funk, rap style of mix does this song justice. Bringing the guitar solo up in the mix was perfect. The way the vocals were arranged in a old school rock fashion give this song an engaging, moving credit. I will definatly listen to this one again. Extra Credit: Production, Originality" - Fullboar (Shreveport, Louisiana)

"[About Now Or Never] Nice dirty riff to start off... cant say i really dig the vocals. Reminds me of a weaker Alice in Chains. Something about the mix isnt working, maybe the guitars need to be more upfront in the mix. Sounds like the singer has an accent, if this is his second language the mumbling quality can be forgiven i guess. I like the bouncy direction the song gets into around the 2:30 mark. Fun but forgetable song." - Dragonaut666

"[About Now Or Never] At :30 and 1:30 it's really cool. Singer has that whiney-kids voice, which is very annoying. Guitar solo at 2:15 is a cool riff, but playing it over and over is boring. Drums aren't too bad but, repitive and genaric. Not bad song over all." - hi_hello (Concord, California)

"[About Now Or Never] Woo. Punk thrash, cool feel. The bass drums are a bit overpowering in the mix, thats my only criticizim there.. easy to fix!! Nice changes in mood and feel. Takes you on a ride, which music is all about." - CrzyWeazl (Utica, New York)

"[About Now Or Never] Bad. Sorry guys, this song is just filled with complete boredom. The singer sounds like he's singing out of the side of his mouth. The main riff is annoying.

"[About Now Or Never] Animal Voice. I like this first voice really agressive like D.R.I. singing in low tunes, but then it starts to sound like Placebo trying to be heavy, with the beat of the bass drum really boring." - Lado2Estereo

"[About Now Or Never] decent. the mix isn't bad everything sounds pretty clear. Im not a big fan of the vocal style but it sounds very clear and strong. The bass isn't bad either its got a good strong hook that keeps the song going. I dunno if this would be metal its more of a hard rock feel. If your going for metal you need to spice it up a bit, becuase this doesn't excite me." - ShesInPain (New Castle, Pennsylvania)

"[About Now Or Never] Kick-o-rama! I liked the way that the bass and gtrs are not always doing the same thing, and some original interesting chords comming from the gtrs. Nice melodic bassist. Man that kick drum is really loud in the mix. Cool quirky bridge, with good gtr solo. The arrangement was good, setting up the choruses well. I also loked how after the bridge/middle section you went straight in to the chorus, then got the fuck out. Cool." - TortureSermon (Brooklyn, New York)

"[About Now Or Never] Uh-oh. This production could do with some serious makeovers. The vocals are really starting to grate against my nerves as well. The double-tracking on the vocals could have been much better. The pitch difference is much too great for it to sound good. The point is for both tracks to sound very similar and for the slight similarities between each track to create the sound that you hear so prominently on many records. The section at 2:10 is pretty cool, but sounds really bland. The bass is almost completely inaudible. That really starts to annoy me when I can't hear the bass. The lead at 2:35 is really cool though. I like it. Still can't hear the bass. That cool section was very Dream Theater-like, which happens to be my favorite band. Congratulations. The vocals at about 3:26 is just horrible. The note scares me everytime I know I'm gonna hear it. Yikes. It seems as though the biggest problems with many bands as far as production goes is that the bass is just not present at all in the mix. The drums are WAY off in the distance and the bass ain't even there. This is a bad mistake, unless you have a really really really really bad bassist. Try to produce the music a bit better, it will really contribute to the mood of the song, in my opinion. I liked the middle section. For me, the rest of the song was boring and pointless, especially following the middle section. It's like getting a taste of something really good and then going back to what you had before. Not a good feeling to have in a song. If anything, you want to build the tension and then release back into a comfortable section where people can say "Yes, I love this part" or "Man, this riff is awesome." I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about. As far as the vocals go, I would totally redo those tracks. Try your VERY best to match the pitch of the previous track so that the minor differences between the tracks make the vocals sound big instead the major differences between the tracks making the vocals sound like crap. The guitarist is very talented and I think this band has some serious potential. Keep at it. Extra Credit: Guitars, Beat, Mood." - gcnubian (Seattle, Washington)

"[About Now Or Never] ok ay. the beat was cool,and I liked the melodic aproach to the vocals. The off beat timing in the riff was cool with the double kick.

"[About Now Or Never] catchy and groovy. your intro is great, its got a wonderful little hook in it and the effects represent it well. the vocals are upfront just where they should be, the guy has one heck of an accent which grinds on me a lil bit but techinically hes right on. your lead guitar in the background really sets the mood and pace for this track. your drums sound very natural your cymbals especialy "pop" in the mix. i love your bass its got great tone and it is audible in the entire song A+. i love your song it has a great groove to it and is very catchy. 9/10.

"[About Now Or Never] modern metal attack. This is some good a modernish metal with odd southern rock heavy riffing mixed with an odd vocal... which is accented? Parts remind me of classic speed metal like Megadeth etc, with a modern feel and decent, yet somewhat vaccuous production (needs more bass and rhythm guitars...more power / distortion... a little weak sounding). Cool song. Extra Credit: Mood, Most Rocking Track." - AlRavage (Malden, Massachusetts)

"[About Now Or Never] reviewing metal again part 2. hmmmmm....i dunno bout this well its kinda catchy...but i duno if its really all that metal...it kinda makes me laugh hahha...like in a good way...like i see talent for sure.,..and the break downs are cool...i would suggest getting some screaming or sumthin...the more i listen however the more i like...i dunno keep doin it if ya believe in it ..... but i would make a few changes than it woudl be sweet...later/...i like the little guitar break down thinger..." - codytoast666 (Kenora, Ontario, Canada)

"[About Beautiful] Metal meets Bowie. The way this song starts I was ready for a complete metal meltdown--it starts with a full on killer metal riff. But the song quickly changes direction into an almost David Bowie style with some pretty vocals and subdued bass driven melody. Then back to the SLAYER RIFFS. What an odd combination, not sure it works entirely, though. This band ought to be called Bi-Polar Disorder." - jocularjason

"[About Beautiful] Strange Melodic Value. Bass line is great though I wish it was SLIGHTLY louder. This song uses a lot of dimminished sounds which some people will find to be cool but I guess I've never really liked the melodic value and mood it gives a song, so right off the bat i've gotta say i'm not sold on the melody. The harmonies seem to follow in this strange pattern and even cross over to dissonance at times... not really a huge fan of these harmonies... sometimes just going with classical harmony is the way to go, dated as it sounds. This song is well arranged, well performed, and isnt bad... all songs start with melodies and I guess since I don't like the melodies I'm not gonna like much more, but I will say what you DID do with the melody is make a very good arrangement and a very solid song. One more thing... I really like the progression and melody at 2:10 within the band. The bass and accoustic guitar sound great. The vocals really kind of kill this section for me... I guess that's all I have to say." - yellowfish

"[About Beautiful] pretty good production - the vocal is a bit muddy & buried in the mix though - drummer & bass have a nice tight feel - the clean guitar is crisp but a bit thin - the heavyer parts sound good - nice ripping guitar solo - i like it - over all some really good chops & cool change ups throughout - good luck with it" - ATelemetry (Hyde Park, Massachusetts)

"[About Beautiful] nice compound groove to start with... wow, almost Blind Melon or Unified Theory when the vocals kick in. When they drop to the lyrics though, I dont think they're really very strong - kinda pitchy and the layers just muddy them up. But the melody really does propel the song pretty well - I just wanted them to be stronger in delivery and the song would be totally kickin! Drums are a bit hot in the mix - kick totally buries the bass and in spots they are working against each other. Guitars are ok, nothing for or against them. The song's really very cool, just wish that the production would have been better. Extra Credit: Melody, Beat, Mood, Originality." - amigoboomer (Maple Valley, Washington)

"[About Beautiful] Speedy Woooha!Super high speed introduction.Drums section moving like from post-punk song and then incommin' vocal part, more dreammy and sleezy atmosphere.Hard to understand lyrics, but melodies sounds like 'Pearl Jam'.Acoustic guitar generally drifting well here.Same things with riffing guitars, which sounds OK. This middle part, with crying guitar or keys sounds progressive, like 'Porcupine Tree' bootlegs.All the variations of instruments and builded arrangement are almost on 'Tool' scale.If its, so gratz for great influences. Overall, its pretty original composition, with cool drums and guitars parts (I love this double kickin' drum, awesome automat), also all the backgrounds, bass line and creativity shines here.Mixdown should be better, but its great record for me.

"[About Beautiful] Crosby, Stills, Nash meets ? The beginning was definitley energetic and very odd sounding. The grooze you went to after that was great. The lead vocal in the verse is somewhat layne stley sounding. The acoustic guitar is pretty old school Crosby Still and Nash. The vocals when they go up are a bit disjunctured and for this style should be alot more controlled. Your band is excellent. I think it is the vocals that will hold you back more than anything so work on those. Extra Credit: Production." - xchaingangxx (Troy, Michigan)

"[About Beautiful] Prog Metal. Intro is standard speed metal. The intro is pretty generic, but let's see where the song goes... The opening singing "ooo's" are out of synch with each other. I would just have one person sing it. The singer is a bit flat in the verse not horribly so, but enough be noticible. In the chorus there are two people singing and they are both off key which makes the passage very difficult to listen to. I really enjoy the bass playing on this song. The bassist is skilled and is playing some really nice parts. The drummer is okay, they are not playing any thing spectacular but they are more interesting than the average rock drummer. The guitars are low in the mix and are not loud enough throughout. Nice instrumental secrtion at 3:43. This has been the highlight of the song for me. The guitar solo was too much of the same thing and went nowhere. Overall I think the musicianship in the band is decent and will shine given more time playing together. I do question whether the vocalist can carry this band though. Extra Credit: Bass, Mood." - brian_bair (New York)

"[About Beautiful] Hmmmm... The intro while cool, although it is a bit long with the one riff repeating, it feels like a rest in the middle would add a better dynamic. The chunk part after the intro is cool, and the artificial harmonics add a very metal feel to the song, which fits the mood up to that point very well. The song slows down after that, which is interesting, because it feels like it should get harder instead of softer. The vocals are interesting, because they are very atmospheric, yet i cannot understand a word that is being sung. Then comes the hard part, which is good, but it goes directly back to the soft part, with vocals that are a bit different than the feel of the music, and it doesn't feel like a whole unit. the verse is very long, which isn't bad, but it feels a bit lost, because the vocals aren't very tight. Teh guitar melody part after the second verse is nice, and i like the almost spanish influenced music. The hard part afterwards is a good break, and the palmmuted melody is awesome, a great way to build tension. This is used to a long effect though, and loses a little power. The solo is played very well technically, but it honestly sounds like a Buckethead solo. The D.T-esque break after the solo is cool, and adds to the ehtereal quality of this song. The drums also add a nice touch, as they keep the music moving at a good pace, and keep the metal feel tied together. Going back to the spanish part after the metal feels like a departure from the expected. There is a glaring lack of a chorus in this song, or a hook of any kind vocally. I understand the stylistic dynamic of this, but this severely limits the audience. The parts on the songs themselves are very good, and are executed very well, but the arrangement is lacking. I would take another stab at the arrangement, and keep the song more metal, because that is the best part of this track. Other than that, it is a good song with potential.

"[About Beautiful] nice drum work. the guitar riff sounds a little played...but the drums back it up...the lyrics are way to slurred...i dont know if thats the way you sang it...or if it's because you over effected with reverb...either way...it starts out strong...but stalls too often." - jasonconnelly (Ft. Myers, Florida)

"[About Beautiful] Rock on guys! First of all, drummer to drummer, I love the fill you do throughout the song, (like at 1:09) You guys have a very Dream Theater meets Puddle of Mud sound.

"[About Beautiful] Nice. The song is very good. I really like the unique structure of the song. All the musicians are very impressive, but the vocals are little to be desired. I'm not digging the vocal effects at all. Also the bass guitar isn't as dead on as it needs to be, his parts are very impressive, they just need to be more solid.

"[About Beautiful] When it rocks it really rocks. Great introduction with the guitar, bass and drums battling rhythmically with each other and still complementing each other very well. Nice change where the vocals come in. I thought the chorus could be a little stronger vocally - the melody was very good. The bass player is excellent and is doing some beautiful runs in the background and really keeps the song moving very well. The changes are interesting and when the song rocks it really rocks.

"[About Beautiful] Rock solid rhythm. Good performance and recording of the drums. Nice tight rhythm section. Very punchy kick sound. The singer has some great ideas about melodic lines, and they are sung moderately well, but shaky at times. He has a basically good voice but it needs some discipline in intonation and enunciation -- I couldn't hear the lyrics at all (was this in two different languages?). Great guitar sounds, well recorded and at a perfect level in the mix, as is the bass guitar. An interesting instrumental break at 4:08 with the chromatic leads, and a nice touch with the sixteenth note picking on the lead riff at 4:36. Very nice modulation at 5:10. Unfortunately I'm not sure if the song is tied together enough. The place for the vocals in this song need to be clarified, polished and brought out more; then and only then, bring them back in at the end of the song for maybe a couple of lines... Nice piece, boys. Very professional. Extra Credit: Production." - paulyphonic (Medford, Massachusetts)

"[About Beautiful] Excellent musically, vocal a let down. Off to a rollicking start that sounds like Motorhead or some 90s metal. The break to the melodic indie rock vocal is nice, somewhat reminiscent of Pearl Jam. The vocalist doesn't have a particularly strong rock voice, most of his words are indecipherable. I think the melody is interesting, so to be honest, I feel that with a different vocal, or vocalist, this song woulf be really good. Solid playing all around especially lead guitar. This is a decent song is cleverly arranged. Instrumentally first rate. Unexpected ending--almost tropical in feel. In sum, I like it but I would love it if the vocal were improved. Good effort! Extra Credit: Guitars, Melody, Grooviest Rhythm." - dafni (Los Angeles, California)

"[About Beautiful] Cool, atmospheric song! Very intersting style you have here. The harmonic changes and playing style reminds me a little bit of Dream Theater's 'Awake' album, and also a little bit of Tool and Opeth. The vocal passages are very strong and melodic, but the vocal performance is not perfect - the singer has a very powerful voice, but gets a little bit off pitch once in a while. I'm sure a few more takes will do even more justice on this song. The instrumental passages are cool, but except for the end of the song, they seem kinda pointless. The chromatic guitar solo on the ending is very cool, and the part after it is, I guess, a homage to dream theater's 'Stream of Consciousness' (From the album 'Train of thought')- it sounds like a variation on the main idea of that instrumental song.

"[About Beautiful] A lot going on here. Okay, I'm two minutes into the song and I'm really not sure what the hard rocking part is doing in the intro and then reappearing again. You've got an intersting song with some cool changes and vocal harmonies, so why throw in a gratituous speed section. It sounds to me like its just the band 'showing off.' I think this is a cool song that could be 'really cool' with some work on the arrangement. It's obvious that everyone in the band has talent, it just should be reflected in the song. To me, the song sounds like an overture where several parts are pushed together that later would make up the themes of other individual songs. If this is what you're going for...it was great. Otherwise, its confusing. I would be curious to hear other songs from the band." - jblissiii (Atlanta, Georgia)

"[About Beautiful] nice sqeals. i always love a good guitar squeal. is that a man or a woman singing?? oh- it's a man, he was just in falsetto. it's different, but not THAT different. i cant say there is a whole lot captivating me here - actually i like the music, but i can't understand one word the vocalist is singing. he needs to pronounce his words more. that is my advice. good luck!" - deadly_wmn (Mission, British Columbia, Canada)

"[About Beautiful] Not a bad start. I like the heaviness in the beginning of the tune. All the music sounds great. But I feel the vocals need a little work, at some points it sounds as if the singer is whining. Also some parts are just slightly off key. Just needs a little tighting up. The guitars are nice and tight. As well as bass and drums. You have a good song just needs a bit of work. I like the bumble bee guitars 3/4's of the way in that's a cool thing. The outro solo just needs a bit of flash to it, it starts off just a little dull, if it's the last thing people will hear I'd want to leave them with the look of wow in their face.

"[About Beautiful] Hi Impact intro. Sections of the drum track are very solid, well produced and move the song along well. I think the bass drum licks are a little choppy and mechanical at times too though, especially at the 24 second mark, and during that phrasing. If the drums could move out of a straight 4/4 feel some of the time it might be better and more creative. Listen to the drummer in Nothing More. he's very good at playing against the 4/4 feel and keeping the beat really creative. Most of the building od sound and energy is due to the drumming alone. The bass playing is good and picks up the basic feel and drive well. The vocals are a little whiny and don't get my attention much at all. In fact, they're almost a distraction from the rest of this hard-hitting song. Extra Credit: Drums, Beat." - Ecc99guy (Springfield, Oregon)

"[About Beautiful] More Progressive than the Current #1. First things first - Guitars need to be higher in the mix. Vocal harmonized intro is cool. Vocal performance during the verses needs some improvement. Love the instrumental breaks - although the transition is a little jarring. A slightly differnt beat/polyrhythm from the drummer during the instrumental break would be cool - just for some sonic variance. This is CERTAINLY a nice progressive tune - the break down around 3 min is excellent, though extending it would certainly be a good thing - pay close attention to your dynamics! When the Heaviness comes back in - excellent transition, and I really like the repetition of the guitar line - However, could we change it up a little? Guitar solo - excellent level. VERY repetitive...but well performed. This song has Major Potential as a progressive staple. I like the outro solo - but could you develop that a little more? Excellent transition into the final 'outro' again - you need to pay more attention to your dynamics...that final jam could have been quieter and more drawn out. Over all - 4 stars!

"[About Beautiful] Very progressive. This immediately grabs your attention, which is a good thing. Great drums and great drum sound. Nice, thick guitar tone, although if anything I might make the distorted guitar louder at times. The back and forth dynamics are engaging. Couldn't understand the vocals at all, they were a little whiny for my tastes. I hear an accent, which I suppose is difficult to control, but that might be something to work on. The vocals were definitely the weakest part here. The guitar solo was interesting...personally, I wouldn't have played so chromatically, but you made it work, so it came out well. And it's really cool how it emerges to a tasteful, diatonic, conclusion. Besides some improvements needed in the vocal department, this is really great. Extra Credit: Guitars, Drums, Originality." - Future_ForceNow

"[About Beautiful] Unique Vocals. What sticks out to me the most is the vocal aspect of this song. I like how they mesh with the jingly jangly guitar part. Together with the drums/bass half of the sound, the vocals/guitar(s) add a surreal edge to the song. Then the band cuts the song down the middle and changes the feel altogether to one more equal to the color red than the color blue (which was designated by me to represent most accurately the feel of the song). At approx. 3m45s into the song I get a much more progressive edge to the song. Nice riffing to whomever is playing lead guitar. Sounds kind of like King Crimson. Overall, I would call this a fairly decent progressive song. Extra Credit: Male Vocals, Guitars, Originality." - MutualExclusive

"[About Beautiful] Song has a lot of energy... The song has a lot of energy. It feels a lot like Alice in Chains, especially the melody line choices. The vocals have some intonation problems and the harmonies are a little overused in my opinion, but then again a lot of music on the radio does this same thing and people love it; whatever. Also, the drums seem just a little too high in the mix." - loganlaw (Austin, Texas)

"[About Beautiful] I liked the intro. When the vocals came in I was not impressed. The vocals sound off key at times. The rhythm is rocking though. I think you should take more time recording the vocals and make sure you are in key. Production could use a little work but is not bad." - shadyc69 (Waco, Texas)

"[About Eclipse] Vocals Need Improvement. Nice intro. Wonderful textures with those beautiful chord structures. Very nice drums. The vocals are ok. They're a little boring, and the melody sounds slightly corny in the verse. The guitars should be much higher in the mix. Overall, it's a wonderful song, but the vocals need some improvement. Extra Credit: Guitars, Drums." - Brad_SfG (Grand Forks, North Dakota)

"[About Eclipse] This is a good one. This song has a lot going on for it. I really like this one. Reminds me of Porcupine Tree. The alternating guitar bursts from left to right really set the tone in the intro. I knew within 30 seconds that I'd like this one. The continual uplifts and breakdowns really display your talent. This is the music I want to make myself. Your Bass player flows like water, so smooth and rewarding. The guitar work is intricate, clean, and powerful. Your drummer is tight, keeps this intricate tale spinning around, but could use a bit more energy to really take your music over the top. I'm not knocking him, just saying he could take it from good to awesome. The only real complaint I have, and this seems to always be the case (I'm sorry), but your vocalist just doesn't have the magic to propel this sound into excellence...though it is close. He is adequate and effective, just not as magical as the insturments. I guess not everone can be Adrian Belew. let me know when you're coming to Chicago.

"[About Eclipse] A rock has to roll. The intro panning suggest more interaction from the entire band, a slow build of the tension would be more adequate to deploy the initial intention. Indeed the drums enters pretty quickly and the tension stalls pretty at that point. The break bring a second intro! Why do we need it, again after 2:10 the same confusing riff comes in. I think it is damaging an otherwise well performed track. The vocals texture is quite fine, with some problem accessing the high notes of the voice ambitus. It would help to liberate a few notes up to give you the agility and confidence required to play with the material. This is not ordinary rock, it implies more research, thus more work to make it sing! The guitar solo begs for an ending that rocks (the first I use that word!), try to closely follow the harmony in a Satriani style." - Gianni_Cassone (New York)

"[About Eclipse] Hey this is a pretty good production. Yeah good production indeed. but there's something missing, a good and tight performance... + the snare need a little bit of reverb too. Anyway guys, the bottom line is that, work on performance...and composition too, because you guys have a lot of talent. Later! Chris Lago.

"[About Eclipse] sweet. cool intro, the bass is great in the beginning, kool kind of black sabbath sound in thee singers voice. the guitar at 130 sounds kind of like metallica, the riff changes are very smooth, the chorus keeps you attent to the song. the solo at 400 is great , the second solo at 445 adds a good twist to it,old school sound in a new school band keep going.

"[About Eclipse] I don't know your band, but I feel I do. Nice snappy beat, really enjoy the double-bass peppering. It takes 40 seconds for the vocals to cut in, I'd probably cut a fourth of the lead up off (but that's just me). I must admit that I've never heard vocals quite like these. It's time to take your vocal personality up a notch and take more chances (go for it, you're cool, and you're allowed). In the first vocal part the vocals maintain one notes with a few scant variances and it goes for about 8 bars, which was too much for me. On the third line take your voice down with the bass line and back up for the fourth line with a stylistic punch and it would be more listenable.

"[About Eclipse] 5:24. Do I really have to listen for 5:24? OR should that be (4:20). Ripping production on this tune. Everything is in nice balance, for my tastes at least. Vocals are good but need some doubling for sure to beef it up some. Ok at 3:40 it is certainly starting to drag. That change at 4:30 needs to come earlier. The arpeggios go on to long. Great guitar work at the end. Song chould be closer to 4:20. Extra Credit: Guitars, Production." - CommanderYo (Fort Collins, Colorado)

"[About Eclipse] good start but a bit dated. I found the opening guitar riff very inviting. The drums sounded a little dry right off the bat. Thay may be what you were trying for though. The distored guitar tone is something you would hear from a early Ozzy album. I think the song lacks a little power. Bringing up the guitars in the mix and giving them a bit more edge could help this alot. Vocals waver a bit around 3:12 and a few other spots. Don't get me wrong I like the way the song feels and around 3:50 the change up catches my attention. Overall, Good song" - Fahrenheit420 (Green Bay, Wisconsin)

"[About Eclipse] - i really like the panning at the begining of the song - distortion is clean like a peavey 5150 - vocalist works very well with the song and style - vocalist gives me a stabillo boss kinda feel"- kevin delorey (Inversions - Canadian band)

"[About Eclipse] stereo. too much stereo, but when the vocals start you forget about whatever you were expecting. shazam...i can't tell if i like this or not. sounds like spanish guns and roses with eminem singing. which isn't bad. it's unique. actually it reminds me of nirvana. sort of. nice track, i'm not sure how to critique it. Extra Credit: Originality." - blurrysummer (Katy, Texas)

"[About Eclipse] Decent riff. Then the bass comes in and you immediately stand out. But apart from the intro this song doesn't stand out at all - it's just another song. The vocalist voice is annoying, the melody is simple and follows the bassline. The drummer holds his own and does the ideal not-too-infront part, but the vocalist voice just prevents me from ever quite being able to listen to this song. When it gets quiet and the parts change its still good if not better, but that voice is just nothing to base a band around." - DropthChalupaDa (Pleasant Valley, Connecticut)

"[About Eclipse] Definetly original. The first thing that sticks out for me is the volume changes in the guitar. The song is definetly original but sounds alittle like a metallica song, which is good. I like how the song changes around alot...it doesnt stay with the same hook or riff for too long. The instrumentals are all together and solid..no noticable screw ups. Its a driving song." - Evolume (Farmington, Connecticut)

"[About Eclipse] cool guitar intro. drums are a little too dry for my liking. but it gives for a really interesting mix, very punchy. i would of preferred the song to start at the verse rather than the intro, but hey everyone's a critic. the song is cool. has some cool sounding vocals. very original sounding. interesting with all the tempo changes. it would be nicer (in addition) to have the back up vocals turned up during the chorus) good chord progression. good lead guitar tone towards the end at around 4:45. but the acoustic guitar sounds a little off rhythm. but still, a very original sounding style!

"[About Eclipse] Nice use of the stereo. I really enjoy the kick in. Drums set up the groove. A bit of an 80's sound to it. Vocals are strange. Sounds more like the vocals were put in as an after thought. I would like to hear the chorus where the verse is. I feel it would set the song up better." - satanhater (Tivoli, New York)

"[About Eclipse] Alot of talent in the room. Yeah I really like the groove in this song. The drums really nail it right off the bat too. I like how the guitars are more of a sample than a line and the whole opening of the song evolves and then the vocals come in. The vocals arent bad but the melody is repeated to much in the same vain within the first 1:25 the a sharp right turn takes place musically. The vocals fare better in the second section. The vocals sound doubled but there not that tight between the 2 preformances. Then at 2:56 the song goes somewhere else. It seems like there are some great ideas in this band but I dont see why they dont flow better. The musicians deffintely have talent. I really like the guitar solo around the 4:15 the harmony technique used is really good. I will have to admit that im a bit disappointed because it seems like there is alot of talent in the room as far as the musicianship goes. This band just needs to pratice its writing chops to bring all their great elements together. I hope they email me after they write something new I would really like to hear how they grow.

"[About Eclipse] Flaming layer cake with whine. If I were to write a song, the guitars and the drums would be set up like this. The intro starts with guitar- a simple sequence that goes up (or down) by half-steps- then layers on drums and other instruments until you have-Voila!- a robust, tangible song that reminds me more than a little bit of cake and also makes you want to want to don emo glasses and hug a teddy bear... Until the singer starts singing. For the most part the lyrics are impossible to understand (I beleive they're in English) though at one point I distinctly heard "no more pie for you". The singer's voice bothered me because of the sheer whinyness of it, like they were begging through their nose. I think the vocals kind of dampened the appeal of the song. The song would've appealed more to me if the vocalist had sung from their voice rather than from their nose, and enunciated so that their words could've been understood. The musicians, however, were teriffic! I love how this song was composed so that it never seemed repetitive, and I never lost intrest in it, even though it was rather long. There were interesting breaks in the melody that reminded me a lot of AFI's newer music (very awesome). My overall impression of this song is that it is very inspired, that the songwriter(s) worked hard to create something that sounded good but didn't sound like every other new rock band out there (which is a refreshing break from the norm). I really like this song! Extra Credit: Guitars, Drums, Mood, Best Potential Movie Soundtrack." - Karecha (El Cerrito, California)

"[About Eclipse] catchy song. this is all one big chorus up till 1:30 so it's captivating right away, strange sound to the singer's voice, but not bad, some unsolved mix problems here, but performance is good , and development is good too. Interesting and strong." - doronx (Haifa, Israel)

"[About Eclipse] good. very strong mix of this song. the vocals are good and in key. the tone of the guitar is great. the mix on the drums might be a tad weak on the cymbals kind of tinny. bass player does a great job with a solid bass tone. overall not bad. good luck guys." - copperseven (Wilburton, Pennsylvania)

"[About Eclipse] drums are awesome. these have got to be played by someone, cause if you programmed this it must have taken three months to get it right! I really like all the changes in tempo and feel. The panning of the guitar during the intro was pretty cool. The solo at the end was good too, but the song could have gotten there a lot quicker. Hopefully, most of your reviewers will hang around to hear it. Vocals aren't really the strong point to the music though. They aren't bad, but don't really grab me either. That's okay, cause the drums and guitar are good enough to keep me listening until the end. Good luck to ya. Extra Credit: Guitars, Drums, Beat." - vmitch2 (Tacoma, Washington)

"[About Eclipse] Great guitar. The opening guitar rifts are cool. I really like the way it lifts off with the other instruments. The vocals are on key and work with the music. The words are pretty good, too. overall, i would have to say this is one of the better tunes I have heard on garageband today." - KrisNAmber (Palm Bay, Florida)

"[About Eclipse] Different and weird. Queensryche style guitar lines in the intro. Also reminds me a little of anything from "songs for the deaf". Vocals repeat the same melodies too often. try doing a question/answer with the intro section. Decent mix. Don't like the vocalist style with this music. It clashes. Neat guitar solo/jam in the middle section. Slow part drags the song down. And some parts are out of sync (stutters) the long guitar solo is played well but doesn't add to the song." - d7guitar (Rockford, Illinois)

"[About Eclipse] nice bass. Now a lot of songs ive been suffereing from the same thing and that lack of bass. You however have a very good basses who fills the sound very well and has caught my attention for this. The drums fit well and the singing veries at some parts where im not sure who the singer sounds similer to. You sound balance blends well except the vocal overdubs dont sounds the best. this song could sound better if there was maybe a little more whaleing or voiceing out rather then just singing quitly stacked with other voices. Extra Credit: Bass." - wiper64 (North Mankato, Minnesota)

"[About Eclipse] Great Production, but enunciate.... I got the feeling I was missing something interesting, but even the second time through I found it hard to pick out the words. I would guess English isn't the lead singer's native language, but if it is one more take with a focus on clarity would improve the song greatly. Some of the notes start out a little sharp, as well. The instrumental portions of the song are great, I particularly like the alterations in pace. If you redid the vocal track this could be a great song, as there is clearly a lot of potential here.

"[About My Reality] Tightly Played Rock. The opening riff reminded me a little of the chilli peppers.When the bass and drums joined it was immediately obvious how well they all work together and how the individual parts had been written as three seperate parts that complemented each other. I have to say that I didn't like the voice, that immediately spoiled the effectiveness of the band. The vocals sound slightly out of tune at times and the tone is annoying.

"[About My Reality] Morbid Visions... This song is interesting, though I am not sure about the vocals...they started off slightly out of time with each other, a couple of times during the song actually, but that can be fixed with some sequencing..this reminds me of some early Sepultura stuff, the guitar player has great chops, and overall the production is pretty good, I certainly wouldn't change anything about your sound as it is unique..." - Shinkaku (Omaha, Nebraska)

"[About My Reality] finally some progress. nice offbeat tempo with guitar riffs. very unusual vocal style but original. you guys are obviously very skilled musicians. guitar break was great. the only slight improvement i would suggest would be some variation between the first verse-chorus and the second verse-chorus. other than that, well done! Extra Credit: Guitar" - P28568 (Chandler, Arizona)

"[About My Reality] Love the harmony. I love the way you break the guitar part into stereo harmonies that then go unison in the beginning. Nice work. Vocals: The doubling is kind of distracting because it's so pitchy. The vocalist sounds best when he goes more into the screaming part but the rest is very pitchy. Also is he doing the vox in another language? I couldn't make out what was being said. Drums: A little sloppy in the excecution and timing but the player has raw talent. Keep working on it. Bass: I like the bass sound and it's played well. No criticisms here. Guitars: Also well played. The harmony ideas are the best part. The lead work at 3:47 is real cool... a little sloppy but in that way that makes it cool in my opinion. Interesting note choices too. Nice creative sound with that stutter effect ending the solo too. The mix is clear but it doesn't quite all gell together the way most pro recordings would. Alot of the sounds are very dry and present... might be just some tweaking on the tones to make it less crunchy and seperated. The song itself is pretty good... the vox detract from it in too many spots to make it stand out as well as it should." - MarkTiarra (Midland Park, New Jersey)

"[About My Reality] Nice Mix. Of guitars and drums. I think the base should be turned up. Vocals start a little week, but strengthen as the song progresses. Another question. Has the band tried stepping the harmony vocal line down during the verse rather than the step up? Killer solo. It's a shame it takes so long to get to it. I would try just fading on that solo. It's a very angry sound. Thrash-away baby! Extra Credit: Male Vocals, Guitars, Production, Beat, Most Rocking Track " - Ruffhaus (Swarthmore, Pennsylvania)

"[About My Reality] good effort. The drum parts were well written,with the exception of the two first choruses and the use of the double kicks,it doesn't sound like they belong where you put them.It's seems I could only understand a few words of what the singer was saying (unfortunatly).The singer's voice didn't seem to match the style of music.The bass line on the second part of the choruses uplifts the song a lot, gives the song more color.(well written).

"[About My Reality] stop screaming, it's a good song. i didnt know this song in english for a while. is it in english? who cares. i certainly dont. i really like the feel of the song until the screaming vocals came it...for some reason it contrasts too much with the rest of the song. do like the double bass though (dont tell my drummer...) it adds a nice pulse to the song. i really like the drumming in this song...he (or she) is picking great spots to come out and lay off. overall i like the song, just dont like the screaming parts too much. " - machinesjosh (Champaign, Illinois)

"[About My Reality] Metal Minor. The minor key throughout lent an interesting dark mood to this piece - especially when it came to the guitar solo. A very interesting solo, seemed to also combine some tonal scale elements. Vocals were a bit strange for my taste - maybe the doubling effect in the verse was too much, it made that particular track sound disembodied from the rest of the band. During the grittier chorus it wasn't as noticable. I also think the song could benefit from a simplified drum part - not that the playing was bad, it just seemed to busy and distracting. Extra Credit: Guitars, Mood. " - dwarvesofyore (Madison, Wisconsin)

"[About My Reality] OOOHHHH....I like.... Nice intro., so far. Cool squalls on the guitars. The distorted guitars drop out considerably. The vocals are a little hot in the mix. The singer is so good, it's too bad he's screaming thru the (?) chorus...Stop screaming and start singing like you have already proved you can. Screams should be stratigically placed, so you don't lose the listeners attention. The song is good. Has lots of potential...The guitars absolutely shreds! Nice solo...semi-old school.

"[About My Reality] 1/2 way there. Musicianship and song writing were prety good but the vocals need work. Just as it's important for the guitarist to play in tune, it's equally important for the singer. You can scream all you want but it didn't help.

"[About My Reality] Screamprog. Good musicianship going on here. When the vocals come in it kinda throws you, definitely different, at first I didn't like it but actually after listening for awhile I do.

Clean recording, tight band, and vocals are competently done, albeit in a growling scream style that isn't my favorite.

"[About With Or Without Me] ok. Song as a whole: Good song stucture, with an old school touch (the double chorus at the end). Not very hooky though. Musically, the song isn't too complicated or catchy, and unfortunately the vocals didn't really take advantage of it. Overall sound is tight. Individually: Drums were simple and to the point. Bass follows drums well while maintaining the focal point of the riff. Guitar riffs aren't really complex. Nice chord progression in the chorus. Don't really care for the overlay. Nice solo. Vocal dub makes the vocals sound out of tune(?) Overall I'm not too impressed. There is talent here, so keep working on it." - montecboy75 (Deerfield, Illinois)

"[About With Or Without Me] Rich and melodic. There is a myriad of sounds that are played by a host of very talented musicians here. The drummer is very crafty with his use of cymbals and executes the rudiments of drum playing very well. The guitar is quite melodic and plays riffs and harmonics with equal proficiency. The bass player has adjusted the sound and tone of his instrumen to exactly just where is needs to be and can be clearly be heard in a most supportive capacity. He plays the instrument with the finesse that is so lacking of so many others that play the same instrument. The lead guitar part is played fast and furious but doesn't trip over its own feet and each note is clearly heard and played very well. The drummer realises the importance of good cymbals in a recording and that is definitely a good thing. The production is not exactly stellar but not the worst I have ever heard. The arrangment works, but the singer is the problem here. He can be heard, but not understood. I can't make out WHAT the hell this cat is talking or singing about. Which is a crying shame because it is one of the catchiest hooks I have heard in a while. It would be so much better though if you could UNDERSTAND it. There is too much of a "hummy" quality in the vocal chorus that reminds me too much of Eddie Veder or Tracy Chapman. I don't know, maybe its me but that is the only quality that stands out from making this song great. It is origional as hell and can easily be heard on the radio if the kinks can be worked out in the song. Extra Credit: Originality. " - DarksomeKnight (Charlotte, North Carolina)

"[About With Or Without Me] not too bad. Pretty cool song. It could use some work on the mix however. The distortion doesn't really hit during the chorus's and I think it should. Try a boost. The drums sound too dry. Reverb that snare a little. The vocals are pretty cool. I have difficulty understanding the lyrics at times. That seems to happen when you've laid two vocal tracks and they're not dead on perfect with eachother. The vocalist sounds like he has an irish accent. Ha, which is cool, original. The guitar and bass work is good enough for the song. This is really vocally driven, so I wouldn't expect too much to be done with the guitars. Overall, a good song with decent production.

It sounds like you're trying to sound like someone who you're not. You really need to try recording with a click track. Nice double-kick in the solo section. The solo is too showy and has no good melodies, just about a million quickly played notes. Just because your guitar (likely) has 144 string/fret combinations doesn't mean you have to hit every one of them in every song." - thelibraryfire (Mount Pleasant, South Carolina)
