conceptually i don't even know how you pull a song like that off and still make it sound coherent and good. im into that trippy abstract stuff so i thought it was great.

Not my kind of music, but surprisingly joyful to listen to. 7/10

7/10 Not bad, but a little too FM radio rock for my tastes.

This is very far from most things I listen to, so bear that in mind when it becomes apparent that I just don't get it.
To me, this actually sounds quite mainstream radio like in style. Perhaps it is bit more textured and atmospheric than the kind of stuff I try to ignore so hard when a radio or TV near me plays modern pop/hip hop. I guess the monotonous, flat singing is what really gets my goat about this. However, I'm not going to say
the song was bad, because I did enjoy it somewhat (listened twice). It's just that I would prefer if someone else performed it. This Kudi guy (heard his name before) isn't much of a singer and I didn't really get much out of the lyrics except he's the man of the moon. Or something.

Nice details in the music and I liked the moody atmosphere. I hope this guy has other singing styles or else me and him are not gonna be good friends.
6/10

LOL. The voice change on the female lead singer cracked me up. Not really my cup of tea. I like my metal technical and weird.

4/10

Love it. Noisy and a touch experimental. I'm more of a progressive / NWOBHM guy, but I dig it.

7.5/10

So who is up for some cinematic ambient?

7.5/10 Really nice start to the song and it builds into something beautiful. When the drums come in, wow. I love music like this, thanks for posting.

Kind of a Frank Black/Pixies vibe going on. A bit of a goofy progression but still a decent song. 6/10



A minute and 16 of fury.
