    I love that this style is now a constant in DoD. From what I understand, this is originally a chiptune thing, so anon definitely proves that the post-rock treatment goes with everything. I like that the melody is still somewhat distinguishable. That buildup is thoroughly enjoyable, even if the climax was cut short.

    Great clean guitar tone, very Tool. Love the slow buildup, very tasteful. I love how this intro has like 5 or so different guitar parts and they all have different tones, and they all fit well. The distorted part is SO well done, it has this indie emo vibe that sounds dirty in a GREAT way, you really have a knack for this style of distorted saturated style. Good aggressive drum hits with tons of reverb fit this well. Spectacular arrangement, I would love to sing over this. One of my favs for sure.

    Nice opening with the echoing guitar strums, and the 2nd guitar comes in with a nice balance as it starts. Really great tones all around on these different guitars – loving the vibes of this being very heavily guitar driven to start. Very nice transition to make it heavier around 1:20, though as we get heavier the guitar is a bit too present and I can’t pick out much bass in the mix, but drums are balanced really well. Balance improves as we continue to get heavier around the 2 minute mark, and man this piece packs a punch of big feelings. Very smooth drop out to just the acoustics again around the 3 minute mark, and very nice emphasis with the piano or vibraphone adding extra accentuations. And hot damn that immediate shift back to heavy at 3:49, generally smooth but then the drums and the synths start coming a bit hot in the mix. Nice soundscape to end this. Overall very very clean anon!

    Dr. Frankenfurter again, but I do vibe with this! Moody vibes, great development, cool guitar tone, production on point. Cool bitcrusher ending!

    I will never get sick of this type of music, it’s mixed and mastered to perfection and makes me feel so much over its runtime. The acoustic breakdown before the final salvo of distorted guitars was flawlessly executed. The whole time, you just know exactly what’s about to happen, and then you totally delivered. The drum mix is exceptional too, I love how wide everything is, it feels like it’s cascading over me on headphones. Toms might be a LITTLE loud out on the sides, but it was a good stylistic instinct. Anon, we need to collab.
