Not a bad start
I think this tune needs to be refined somewhat to take it further - it sounds like you've sampled parts of your library of what you'd like to play and have mixed it all together. Sadly, this leaves the tune kind of formless.
If you worked around a formula for the tune, it would be much better - Intro; Bridge; Verse 1; Chorus etc.
I'd also consider adding some vocals, as a rock song like this needs lyrics unless you happen to be Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson.

Instrumental is fun :P And doing it after a formula is boring!
Wind up
This track seems to be winding up for something, but I'm not entirely sure of what it's going for.
The beat is nice and the melody, while simple, is quite effective to the point of distraction from the beat. I think that you've done a decent enough job with the variation of the melody, giving us plenty to dwell on over the course of this tune.
Though it doesn't loop very well, who needs it to loop at this kind of length? A nice tune that's only really shy of some lyrics to make it superb.

:) some singing would be awesome. I've been dusting off my vocal chords lately and my buddy's finished setting up his home recording studio so future works may see some! :)
Moving
This piece smacks of the dearly departed, a brother in arms that fought side by side with his now sole remaining comrade, who sits atop a hill, looking into the valley, where his friend made his last stand.
It reminds me of the futility of war, which is where the piano plays its best part - the softness of the note contrasting with the strings in the background so nicely.

Thank you, I appreciate the review. Though I never imagined war or death with this one...It was more geared toward the emotion of regret.

Nice work
*claims virtual cookie*
A poignant piece about War, the aftermath of war and the hope that our cause is the right one.
I think that with the soldier marching away to war, you certainly could have used a slower drumbeat - each beat represents a step, so that's just too fast. Drummers don't tend to carry on drumming when the fight begins, as they are needed elsewhere, they only drum their way along towards the battle.
Aside from the issue I have with the drumbeat, the thunder of the cannon fire in the background is wonderful and the message it sends is loud and clear.

We weren't really intending for the snare drum to emluate a real military drummer marching. It was more to add to the war-like theme of the song. It was more to add another layer of emotion. If we were to make it more literal, some long drum rolls and a more straight-forward beat would probably be used. I'm not sure; I'll have to ask Tamadrum. :P
The "cannon fire" sound wasn't intentional at first (At least I don't think so). IT wasn't until a while into the song that we made the connection with cannons and such.
Thank you for the review,

I had to stop listening
Dear god, it gets worse.
The guitar doesn't carry a tune and the vocalist can't sing, so what are you thinking with trying to make a song out of this?! Two wrongs don't make a right and I don't care if it is a joke, because I'm not laughing either way.
It's not Heavy Metal, so I'd suggest that you re brand it into something like pop, since it's got a snivelling whine of the Boy band about it.
Then we get the rock part, which is almost as bad, if not worse. The lead singer has some real issues with how close he gets to the mic - tie him up, so he doesn't get closer than maybe a foot from the mic, as it would help a load with the song. Giving him some decent material to work with might help as well, but that's only maybe, as I'm not sure if his talent would be appreciated elsewhere.

YOU HAVE TO STOP LISTENING SO YOU CAN SUCK SOME DUDES DICK! SO WHO CARES! FAGGOT!
A little sharp
I think that the piano that you've chosen in this piece is a little sharp towards the end and there are sadly a few duff notes in the tune, which does detract from the way that this tune works.
I know that it's supposed to sound creepy and wrong, but if you can do that without the notes sounding like they shouldn't be there, the effect would be much more impressive.

Ok then, thanks for the review. Even though i'm not exactly sure what you mean to say ^_^;
Not bad
I think that you're still fading out too early, so you could shave a second off the track and no-one would notice.
The tune itself is exactly what it says on the tin - sad. I'd consider increasing the length and making the piano more uniform to deal with the expression of the sadness, as it's too complicated with the beat and abstract nature of the way you've played it at present.

Thanks, stop reviewing old music, i'm accually sick of this song.
Fast paced
I think that the only problem that a track of this speed posesses is that it's going to finish way too soon, so you need to loop it and do that well.
I'd consider making the track longer to counter-balance the speed making it sound shorter and also the addition of something a little more varied into it - there are maybe 4 phases in this song and I think that you need more, even if you come up with variants of these parts.

It's hard to explain, but...
It was originally supposed to be way longer, but near the end all of the synths I used using the nexus demo went silent, and I had to find substitutes. The only one that didn't go silent was that saw-type synth that came in around 0:21, and that was the only thing that kept me from giving up on it. I ended it earlier because I was afraid that if I waited longer, that one would go silent, and being the most important synth in the song, I didn't want to take my chances of spending even more time on a song that would end up not working.
Last time I'm using the Nexus demo...
Not my thing...
I think that you need better casting for the part of Hugh Heffner, plus a more excitable script. It's been done before and let's face it, would need a better script to be done again.
Of course, the whole breaking into that dumbass lines that I was totally expecting ruined it. Get a life and make something worthwhile with your software. Please.

YOUR THING IS DICK SO NO WONDER YOU WOULDNT LIKE THIS! FAGGOT!
Lose the vocal effects
If you just turned the sound of the voice down a few octaves, rather than tried to mess around with it, you'd have a much better sounding tune.
The guitar that you've put in sounds good, if a little repetitive, although I am distracted by this nagging feeling at the back of my head from listening to the assault on my senses from the vocals.

Lose the fagness before you get stomed. Some one who voice acts shouldnt judge shit. FAGGOT!
You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
