[Own A Home Underneath]

frontpaged! thats so fuckin awesome, especially for something as left-field and experimental as this. your ear for sound design is insane, btw. feels like all the best elements of shoegaze, industrial, dark ambient, sound collage and even a lil bit of power electronics in that crescendo to boot. excited to hear this record when it comes out bc this feels like such an album serving track that I'm curious to see/hear it's context within the album.

ps: cocteau twins are one of the best bands ever omg big ups homie

[Reptile Master NGUAC 2020]

That guitar tone is very Matt Pike-esque, which i adore, plus that guitar solo was fuckin sweet. Hell yea, dude. If this had vocals or maybe some additional textural elements to vary things up slightly this would be prefect. But then again with stoner/sludge/doom, repetition can sometimes be a blessing in disguise.

[Function Generator]

The acoustic drum fill samples really make this for me. Also that final drop had a kind of bubblegum bass feel to it which is a welcome surprise. This slaps, dood.

[Way to the Freedom]

wow this feels so psychedelic and whimsical. kinda reminds me of ween or sweet trip a lil bit. i love it :')

Ragkul responds:

Thanks!! , yes, it has a similar sound

[DeLoreans]

Awesome job bringing glory to this often unfairly maligned genre. You definitely do it justice. The chorus is incredibly well written, as any pop punk chorus should be, and the lyrics are way above par compared to alot of pop punk stuff lol. Kinda sounded a bit like Streetlight Manifesto sans the horns. But also way more atmospheric than that band? Great shit, yo

AjSkull responds:

Whoa!!! That's awesome! Thank so much for listening!

[We'll Take The Night]

Damn your guitar work is fucking killer. Very detailed and intricate, yet driving and forceful. Guitar solo is well written too, the harmonies are epic. Now all this needs is Rob Halfords vocals over the top, haha

Banana-head responds:

Thanks for the review! Yes i did this Judas Priest mind! Having Rob Halford's vocals in it would be really appropriate.

[Houses]

Dude. Fuck yeah! This reminds me of one of my favorite bands Hum, but if they were noisier and more dissonant. That midtempo groovier motif with those Glenn Branca-esque chords is so badass! Love seeing people in the competition with similar musical inclinations as mine. It's really cool. Best of luck m8.

[You'll Get Yours]

Damn, that was pretty mane. Loooved the guitars especially (good wah usage). Also loved the building, linear structure, nice payoff with a great solo.

dude2312 responds:

Thanks ever so much! I really tried my best with this one. Given the timeframe restrictions for the contest! I'm glad you liked it, man!

[Akasha]

Pretty awesome, dude! Kinda sounds like if Drukqs-era Aphex Twin made a house track. Super smooth, yet mindbogglingly complex.
