A better effort than the other instrumental, but, keep in mind, if you are going to record instrumentals, the instrumental parts had damn well better be spot on brilliant!! This falls short of brilliant. Way short. Sorry. Crappy piano sound, cheesy synth drum sound. I know what I'm talking about, look at my impressive resume..

The thing is that you always show incomplete songs or songs with mistakes here and there. We know they're demos. A demo is perhaps, a low quality recording... but that doesn't mean that the song shouldn't be already fully developed or that it's ok if it has mistakes. A song should never have mistakes, and even if the idea is clear, people should listen what you want them to listen and not what you don't, because showing incomplete versions... won't really make us think that the song is good or bad, is just incomplete. Without the melody, it can be either amazing or crap. You guys need to develop your arrangements and how to use them. And that needs time and experimentation, of course. Your problem is that your arrangements repeat themselves too much. They might work out if you used them in the right places and not over and over again, you're wasting them. I.E that song of yours, Warrior, the beginning sounds kinda ackward... too short but I came up with this idea, it's almost the same but developed in a slightly different way and longer... just according to what a good intro to this song would be to me, it could perhaps work better. Ideas do that: changing one little thing, you can either make em amazing or fuck them up. --> link So let's say you liked this and you included it into the song... this allows you to NOT use rhythm guitar on 3/4 or what would be the verse. In this case less is more, the constant rhythm guitar gets kinda annoying and is something that doesn't help at all, because it's one thing that doesn't let the song change. I would add it only where the song needed more strenght and I would leave only bass and keyboards on the rest. It's called saving ideas... things can work out good, but when used properly they work out much better. Variation on the arrangements, that's one of the keys to keep the listener's interest on a song. Just a little advise that may change a lot in the final sound of your song to make it sound more "profesional". What do you guys think? Why don't you try my idea? How much time could it take you? You might even like the final result.
