[Starry-Eyed and Dreaming]

This track is good, but it never peaks. There's a lot of build-up, but it doesn't really build toward a big energy chorus it deserves. You should try adding in more sound when after the build ups. Perhaps a bit of white noise, or try filling the "audio space" a bit more with other types of sound. A lot of potential. I really want to see you keep working.

[F.T.W.]

I really dig your sounds. My only complaint is that you've got a bit of distortion and clipping going on in parts of the track. A lot of potential, though.

Thank you Ill work on it :)

[Buubdurub - Fleshless]

I love the bizarre circus feeling. I don't know why, but it's really sick and disturbing and calming all at the same time. Very interesting. The distortion seemed dangerously close to flying off the handle for a moment, which is the only thing I was worried about. It's a great mix, good job.

I enjoyed the throwback style. Felt as though it would make an awesome classic, if it had been years ago, of course. Haha, great job. Hope to hear more from you.

[That's Why: original song]

I started in hip hop, so I definitely appreciate your lines. It tells a story, and your backing vocals were reminiscent of Eminem. I like the fact that they were adding in to your story. One piece of advice, though, I'd widen the stereo on the backing vocals, or pan them accordingly, to set them apart from the main vocals. It'll help the listener to distinguish between the two. By doing that, you'll involve the listener more, and make your story more dynamic. Also, as a thought, you might try to combine your dubstep and hip hop. By trying new combinations like this, you can get great results. I've got a track or two that do that, and it's the foundation of my band, All Medical Procedures.
Keep it up, man.

yeah man thanks, Thats something I've been bobbling back and forth.

[Conflict (posthardcore)]

I can see the foundation for your newer piece, the one that follows this one, and you really improved the quality. Not to say that this one is bad, but the quality of the guitar's sound is lower in this piece. I still think the drums need more EQ, but I can't be terribly specific on that end, unfortunately. Definitely keep up the good work. I want to hear you continue to progress.

[A Warmth Alone (Post-HC)]

Very, very good. The drums need a little more EQ work to my ears. The guitar work sounds fantastic, though. I like both the idea and the execution. Good job, man.

[R∑VIVAL- Dubstep]

For your first go at dubstep, I think this is pretty decent. I've never used Garageband, but if it is clanky like ElectroLord said, then more props to you for working this out in it. He's right that you should add a melody. Try to focus it a bit more on the build up, if you can, and then go crazy during the drop. A few instruments can go a long way, say a pad and lead on top of the bass and the drums. That should take care of the buildup. Then you can pretty much break all the rules when you drop the bass. Trust your ears, for the most part.

Keep working on it, my man! I look forward to hearing more from you.
