Cool sound
— Hello rockstar! I really like the sound, its reminds me of something, not quite sure of what! But I like it, it really got potential! Hope to hear more tunes coming!

On The Right Track...
— First of all, I want to accentuate the positive! You have great guitar riffs! The lead track is fantastic. Fits well with the rhythm track. There's plenty of meat here to sink your teeth into if you like lead licks. Now for the hangups i'm having... The issues I'm having are that this whole piece is kind of a jam/demo piece more so than a complete song. it doesn't seem to have a direction other than showcasing your skills. The song is definitely not 'radio friendly' coming in at over 5 min long. You will never see airtime with a song this long. You need to cut this in half. Sorry, only Metallica can get away with 7 minute songs and even that has worn thin over time with airplay. Then there are these 'tinny' vocals that overbear the melody drowning it out more than complimenting it. I think you have washed it in some kind of effect. That changes your whole song to a different place than if you had straight vocals with little processing. It might be you are doing this with a computer... if you are? it sounds like it, if you are not?... it sounds like it. Also you sing this in English, but I can tell yours is not that clear. It has such a heavy accent that you undermine the song by making listeners try to discern what you are singing in English. Not clearly spoken and more of a whispering then singing will come out with a more 'creepy' sound overall. FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW, I want you to take these points with a grain of salt as I am just 1 listener. So... shorten the song, speak natively(not English) try different vocal techniques, don't wash through computer, and don't give up! Great guitar licks, Chunky rhythms and stay positive! Cheers, Mike PS. Listened to 5 times =)

— Sent you a review but some how N1M never credited the review to my account. So in the hopes that this one will go through I am reviewing your song again. Your song has some awesome riff's and you should continue to pursue your writing endeavors. Practice makes perfect and your on the right track to create some radio friendly music. Also check out my band DA 27 for some ear blistering Thrash Metal from Seattle Washington, USA. Thrash on brother.

Need for Speed!
— Sick! Right off the back the music reminds me of the menu music from the old school games Road Rash & Need for Speed! The vocals are really off in the mix, and I'm not really sure what is being said except Rockstar.. Also it probably should end before that 1st breakdown. It really slammed into a muddle mix of "what?" at that point. I felt like was listening to different songs played at the same time. I only say these things to offer constructive criticism. You obviously have talent, just hit the drawing board again if you really want to be a "rockstar", otherwise it's just a cruel joke. Best of luck to ya man! Cheers from Texas!

— good structure, nice soloing...production could be a little fuller, but interesting vocal approach to the track. Should be more gutteral at some point.

love it.
— I just love the way you burst into this song. No bull shit just pure unadulterated ROCK. Any one into Metal should really enjoy it. I myself am not into metal but i know Talent when i hear it. The drummer and bass player work great with the Guitarist and vocalist. Keep rocking .

I like it.
— I like this song. The drums and guitars are both written, recorded and executed very well. Excellent showcase of talent on this track. The vocals sit really good on the mix and overall have a really good tone to them. All together this is a really tight piece of music, my only constructive criticism would be to edit it for length, but I know how hard that can be.

Party rock from Italy
— Well today on the hit list we have Baccambarus, there are a lot of different things going on in the tune. First and foremost there is the guitar solo's...Most of them are pretty well played, but they lack some finesse and could use a little more refinement. If there is a bass guitar somewhere in the recording, I can't hear it and I think that its a real drummer too, but it's hard to tell. The singing is awful, there could be some potential in the band if they had a decent vocalist...but there it is. This isn't bad, but it's not great either. I liked the guitar solo's and some of the song arrangements, but over all I think the band needs some more work before anyone will take them seriously though...Good luck guys

Rockstar
— After listening to this track i was at first quite surprised at how different it was,different enough to make it interesting and quite refreshing, i admit i only listened to the song once, and i very much enjoyed the Guitar god style solos, my feelings were there was maybe a little too much reverb and treble applied to the track, and it needed a more outstanding dominant bass presence, this aside i found it to be enjoyable to listen to and had that toe tapping quality about it. Overall a nicely structured effort.

CRAZY WIERD But Pretty Cool & Different
— when listening to songs I go through a metamorphosis what happens is. because I am a writer my self and have been for over 30 years, I tend to pick songs apart. This song is a bit hard to pick apart because its so off the wall. Its not an easy song to follow. has no real groove. It kind of has a Primus feel to it. One of my favorite Arizona bands, is way whacked but I like stuff that different. all in all I feel it needs some refinement but it has potential.

— Very nice opening Riff with a catchy solo on leadguitar, groovy drums - all good!! but i think, that there is too much effect on the vocals...all in all a good work, to focus on the recordingprocess could be helpful that it works out better! looking forward to hear more of you guys - all the best for you, maybe we meet somethime! Italy is not that far away from Austria ;) cheers
