Welcome back, I'm glad to see that you've returned after the fiasco that was your last thread.

This song shows some legit improve and, overall, I feel it is a very solid track that I would use in a dance mix or something. Black Sun Empire had some great tunes back in the day (Driving Insane was a great album). Are you still using FrootyLoops?

My Critique

The drums are pretty weak throughout, particularly your kicks. I'd tweak them to make them sound as menacing and explosive as the synth is.
Cool breakdown near the two minute mark and from 3:00-3:20 is great but turning up and fine tuning the volume on the drums would improve it.
It ends very abruptly, you have to find some sort of closer.
Overall, the synth is pretty nice but maybe a little repetetive.

Keep up the good work.

Checking out the rest of your songs, I really like "Paralysis" and "Released" along with a few others.

Thanks! Smiler thats some good tips to work with. I wonder if hudson will pay a visit lol. Yes I am still using fruity loops.
Drums are such a pain because im still learning about how difficult they are to make sound just right. Layering and compressing... eck
Thanks for listening!

Yeah man, the rythm is there, but the samples are a downfall. Like I said, that was a major improvement from what you had last time and I know you will only get better. Good luck.
