Subbed. Hope everyone likes 5 minutes of static.

Do it by ear! Train your ears!

You've been chosen by the gods! Inspired a fair bit by the music of the Soul Calibur games. Hope you all like it.

Hey man I really like the arrangement for the most part, but I think dropping it down to just the piano at 0:38 breaks the flow in such a short track. I think keeping the energy a bit more during that section would help the track's progression a lot, and transitioning to Monster Dance right out of Bloody Tears' arpeggiated intro section is a strong structural choice. I also think the piano isn't carrying the track as a lead instrument. It sounds pretty dry and fake, and it's mixed pretty far into the background. The drums also hit me as too loud and compressed. The cymbals are pumping on a lot of their impacts and they get pretty sizzly at times - heavy compression can be pretty unflattering to cymbal hits. I really like the timbre of the snare and kick though (with maybe a tad more low end on the latter) and the funky writing works great, I'd just pull the drums down a bit as a whole. No qualms with the guitar/bass - once the rest of the balance is touched up and the weak lead instrument addressed, I think this'll be a sweet track. Hope that's helpful!

*Sigh* Yeah, this didn't happen. I'd give a million reasons why, but at this point it'd just be excuses filling in for what was just regular ol' irl exhaustion. Still look forward to the entries, though, and can only apologize repeatedly for not stepping up like everyone else here has.
