Ok guys! After some time of critiquing I decided to give back to the commmunity. This is my solo project Qric Jay. Please, I want to know. Tear me apart, because I want to know! Oh yeah, a little thing to take into consideration is that I am 16.

Yeah, I'm have the same problem. It happens often for me, though. I would be more than happy to--oh, wait, it's finally playing. Hmm...

This Will Scare You - LOL at the title. This actually pretty cool, so far I can't find anything necessarily "wrong" with it that I can notice. I like the distorted guitar with the soft vocals, but it's hardly anything "scary", though--haha, sorry. The style was unique and it was short and sweet (rhyme!).

Run Away - So far, not so impressed. Sounds sort of, I don't know--generic? No, I don't think that's the word, but I'm not feeling the intro. It's more enjoyable in during the chorus when the vocals pick up, but even then it could still use a bit more depth and contrast. It gets sort of repetitive after the chorus, however, though I've been guilty of doing the same thing myself at times. You're actually a pretty decent singer, though a bit rough around the edges--that's what I get from this track.

Inverted Malice - Don't particularly like the "clankiness" of the strumming, but I can tell what it is and I like it still. Could use a bit more complexity in the beginning, something to break up the monotony (or just shorten the beginning). It's nice to listen to aside from the "clankiness" I mentioned--best way to describe it, I guess.

Teary Night - Drums?! Would've liked to get some vocals in this one, even if it is ambience. Enjoyable to listen to, though there isn't much I can find about it to critique. I'm not much of a critic, but I try sometimes...

Overall, pretty good. If there is any truly helpful advice I can give, it is to say: keep at it!
