this is good, but in a genre I don't like much (sounds very much like like '90s alternative rock), so a bit of genre bias would keep it out of the very top of my rankings if I were a judge but it's really good. great singing, mixing, production, playing, & singing.

I have some genre bias against this one but it's very well done. As far as heavy rock goes this reminds me more of the 1% of stuff that I do like than the 99% that I don't (probably demonstrating my genre-blindness here but some of it reminded me of Deftones a little) - the big dynamic shift into the chorus is great and the drony, chanty vocal section is very cool.

sounds very muse. I like this a lot, especially that bass line. The chorus is so cathartic. The play out is really cool, too.
