I listened to all of these for 30 seconds each, except for the first one, Translation, which I listened to for the entire three minutes. I did not really care for the others, but I can't say they are per se bad, just that they don't resonate with me.
Translation is, if I'm not mistaken, is of the genre of "techno" or "house music," a driving, powerful beat. It was okay, I could see that dropped in to one of the levels of Doom, for example. Or a movie chase scene. Some music resonates with me, this one does not. If there was interest in the examples of similar music I like, I'd explain, but this thread is about Jizaboz's music, not my opinions of other people's music.
I decided to go back and re-listen to the others.
For Xyber Stalker, the deep base was interesting, but the high-pitched part seemed "jarring," and an unexpected change of direction. Others may appreciate that kind of music, buy I don't.
For Corrupted Famework the harsh guitar sound is to me, like pepper. It sometimes works, in small amounts. Too much for my taste.
But I hope you continue trying. Other people here might really like yours, or you might do one that I do like. I will listen to others of yours, if you grant us the privilege of hearing them, and unless you would rather not hear from me here, give my opinions. I do want to thank you for your effort and the hard work you put into it.
Jesus, I just realized how much that last sentence sounds like the rejection form letters book publishers send out to authors of unsolicited manuscripts. But I do mean it. Doing good art is hard, and you put your soul into it, then some unwashed cretin like Yours Truly makes stupid comments denigrating your work, when they've never done art for themselves, but think they're qualified to make comments. Since I have done other types of art, although not musical, I do know how much work and effort it takes, and I do appreciate yours, even if I'm not really a fan of your work.
