This is nothing fantastic but it does have some charm going for it. The loops are nice and the way its been padded out itself is actually quite nice.
Has a very clear, smooth feel about it.
Not bad overall.

Not bad, the vocals sound very similar to James Hetfield which was nice, means that there's potential for Metallica covers. Sometimes in this though, the voice was too strained and wavered a bit too much.
The song besides it was good, the opening wave was especially well done.
Overall this wasn't too bad, got a repetitive but was otherwise ok.

Thanks for the review! You know, I was spitting phlegm for a week after that! Well, maybe not that long, but you get the point. I'm not good at brutal vocals. Not at all! I don't think I'm really good at any vocals for that matter. And I did have to strain myself too much for this one. I tried to do this, mainly just to see if I can do it and it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. Maybe Hetfield is a bit of an exaggeration here, but I did try to have a vaguely similar style (somewhat heavier, though).
If it sounds repetitive, just do what I do. Skip to the solo and you'll be fine! :-)
Cheers!

I'm not a big fan of Kiss but this mixture of rock and effects was freaking brilliant. The opening is gentle and smooth, the chords perfect and the sound clean and crisp.
One thing that is always annoying with Kiss songs is the lead singer, its too high. In this cover the voice is perfect deep and near gruff, it really mixes in well with whole rock tone that this cover has.
Great effects push certain sound into the background and add whole layers of great sounds. The added accoustics make it sound even better, like its really authentic.
Great work, this is going the iPod.

Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you liked it! You know, Kiss were all about high pitched vocals... It's like a trademark for glam bands. If they didn't have that in the first place, it's possible that we would never have known them enough to do a low pitched vocal cover of this song! :-)
Nevertheless, I'd be lying if I said that in general I'm fond of screaming myself. It fits certain styles and what we do as a band isn't it.
Thanks for the great review! I hope it stays in your iPod for long!

A nice remix, the sounds are very clear and its loud which helps to make it easily enjoyed. The effects are put to good use but it doesn't sound out of way with the old version so it retains some of its retro charm an yet sounds new at the same time.
8/10

Thank you, this still stands as one of my favorite projects. Maybe I'll resurrect it and see if I can do it better. Thanks for listening.

This song has a very 'hip' and 'suave' feeling beat to it.
It nearly screams 60s era all throughout with the slides and the fast guitar movement as well as the soft clicking of background drums and other instruments.
While this is all very good it feels drawn out a little too long; as if it overstays its welcome.
Overall its very catchy and hippin'.

The effects in this are quite nice and put to full effect but as the audio progresses it just feels so tacked on and repetitive.
Sounds goos at the start but as it goes on the effect is has on the viewer slowly dies.

For a first 'drums n bass' song this is very good.
The beat keeps up nice and well, delivering a solid aural fest and the drums sound extremely good and almost in time.
Its certainly got a beat about it, and very catchy; possible it will get stuck in your head.

It's my first song, but I experimented with DnB for more than a year. I'm starting to like DnB now. I think I might make another DnB song!
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

The main theme for Darth Vader is here, under all the metal and it sounds really, really good.
The chords go well together and hit very hard, making the theme sound even more sinister than before.
The added soft bit sending the guitar into the backgrounds sounded extremely good, the fade-out is also very well done.

Changing one song or theme to another genre of music is usually not done very well, but this audio proves this wrong with an awesome metal version of the Legend of Zelda theme.
It is done extremely well with some awesome little riffs and cut-offs, as well as the odd solo here and there.
Overall it is an extremely neat audio thats well worth a download by anyone.

An awesome guitar song, the chords all cross over very easily, the small solos escalate the song up onto greatness.
The drums in the background are done very well and help keep the entire song together. The guitar solos are bound to melt someone's ears as they're sickeningly sweet.
Vocals would help this a great amount.
Overall its more than decent and worth a solid 9.
