11... - f***ed up

copy machine - also f***ed up

rain doesn't fall... - hmmmmm...f***ed up.

rebuilt on sandstorms - interesting. I think this is the only one that came close to what I would define as "music". but it was pretty harsh sounding and I honestly didn't get any enjoyment from it.

Sorry for being so critical, but this isn't really my thing. I don't mean to sound like your dad and be like "all the stuff you kids listen to nowadays is noise!", but to me that's what this sounds like. But perhaps this gets other people off and if so, awesome.

1 12 1992

Interesting electronic sounds to introduce. Sorta sounds like how a computer may in a cheesy sci fi film. the static noise is effective in leading into the next section. Interesting talking. Hmmm... interesting to listen to but i always thought music must have rhythm, or is it orginised sound? Who knows what the definition of music truly is, and i congradulate you for making music which made me ask that question

Toothpicks and dry grass

Interesting sounds, with a lot of static. Hmm... some interesting lines being spoken. Couldn't make out all of them, but i probably wasn't supposed to.

Rain Doesn't fall from the sky

Cool deep voice and static but it lacks rhythm. At the moment, your songs have sounded cool, but they all just been sound effects.

Rebuilt on Sandstorms.

Cool piano sound effect and talking, leading into an almost annoying beep. I agree with Happy Squirell this is close to sounding like music, but it more sounds like a hidden track on an album or something. It sounds cool, but i could never listen volinerialy

Copy cycle

Now this is pretty cool, and i like the subtle rhythm on the piano quite a lot. I like the way it abrubtly ends several times sounding like maybe someone is tuning a radio. Pretty cool.

"1 12 1992": starts out awesome. it's massive. the drums are great. but from the vocal part and on it just gets cheesy and boring. the first part is fantastic though. if you'd cut out the second part (though this is probably not an option to you or whatever) I'd really like this song. the second one, "Toothpicks and Dry Grass" is really consistent though. I like this. not that this static sound of yours is entirely unique, it's definitely cool. I like this track. unfortunately I feel that "Rain Doesn't Fall from the Sky" just comes and goes. it doesn't hit me at all. sounds random. boring. sorry. yet, the two last ones are awesome. subtle and ambiguous.

so to make a final verdict: you lack quality control. the two last tracks are fantastic. the second one is mediocre. the first one is ½ magic, ½ crap. the third one is just random.
at least this is how I feel. but its got potential to be 100% great imo, 'cos I really did enjoy more than half of your tracks. top notch stuff. and I like your style too.

i just started doing this, so yeah. thanks for the critiques. i did a new song with what everyone said in mind, it's called "The Suns Burned Out." Please listen to it.

All pretty cool stuff. The vocal samples make everything kind of overly dramatic, though. It'd be interesting to hear the songs without them.
