Similar to BL, there's nothing really hooking me in this mid-tempo pop song. Unlike BL, it doesn't have that brilliant opening music. Good breakdown in theory, but I think you have to nail the singing if you're going to do an extended a cappella section and a lot of this singing sounds uncertain to me.

the echoey guitar is cool. And that bass after the chorus is killer. I enjoyed this breakdown.

First and foremost this song has one of the breakdowns that I liked the most the whole round; great cut back and build up on the vocals. No table talk hits a chord with me; I played a lot of spades and hearts with my friends in high school, so I enjoyed that line. Pretty young thing? MJ Reference? Seems a bit out of place in the context of all of the rest of the lyrics, (I thought you were saying "Video game" until I read the lyrics) but perhaps I'm missing something metaphorical going on above the gameplay elements of the lyrics. Great breakdown, great solo. I'm resisting clicking the spoiler tag on your lyrics, but I'll say I don't seem to be able to figure it out without it, so I would say perhaps some more clues to the context or meaning for a constructive criticism, as I'm a bit lost without it. Cool song, I enjoyed it.

Great guitar sound and the call and answer bit in the intro is cool. The song is very meat and potatoes and there's a couple of lines that I'm not a huge fan of, but the chorus has an earworm quality more than a lot of the songs here. The breakdown is very obvious, and because it's a whole new section with no back arrangement at all it sounds a little disconnected from the rest of the song, but there's no denying you hit the challenge square on the head.
