[R.E.M. III]

One impressive solo

The opening is fine, the high energy is real nice, and you did a fairly good job of keeping up pace, but it felt like it was dragging from 1:22 - 1:57. I understand that's supposed to be your buildup, but honestly, the entire half of the song is nothing but a buildup till the solo starts.

Ripping damn good solo, I might add. Makes this whole song worth listening to, over and over again. The second solo was a nice touch, I definitely like that too, but too much of this song just felt like one big buildup for something that does not hit the climax you're preparing it for.

And the end of the song seems to build up into nothing. That was a bit of a disappointment, I gotta say.

I like your style

The intro had me hooked, I'll be honest. It was sick and interesting and the sound was just so pleasing. Then everything goes haywire.

Don't get me wrong, it's not /bad/, but it's just, for lack of a better term, boring. It's a nice melody, there's a wonderful progression of sounds the melody goes through, but it's all just sounds too simple.

All in all, it's a decent listen, and it's pretty good to just sit in the background while you're busy doing something else, but it just doesn't stand up to a close listen.
