Hi Scissorman,

I especially liked this faster-paced, shorter song, "Voices." I felt it did a good job showing the racing thoughts of someone hearing voices while going crazy. I liked the overall feeling of the song with its eerie, creepy quality.

I enjoyed the interesting synthesizer sounds (the "bloop, bloop, bloop" sounds...not sure how to describe them!), the beat, and the layering of the singer's faster, lower voice and higher angelic one. I recommend reducing the volume of the higher vocals slightly so that it is easier to understand the lower vocals.

While looking at your lyrics, I had wondered how the near rhymes would sound. I see you use a lot of internal vowel rhymes within words (such as "stayed" and "remained") and visual rhymes (such as "come" and "home"). I felt these help give cohesion to your lyrics. Also, I feel you changed the lyrics enough during the repetitions to avoid them feeling repetitive.
