This is my top 3 for Iron Goddess. These are the 3 songs that I dl'd to listen to over and over again because they were far and above the best of the bunch.

This sounds alot like a 70's-80's rock sort of thing. I like it, although I don't think it's something I'd listen to constantly. My Dad would love it though.

Your song has a nice soothing sound to it. It's something I could imagine listening to after a hard day to get my mind at ease.

Melvin
It's close but I have to give you the vote this week. Another high quality effort. I like the lyrics, especially "Don't call me a plagurist because I make the songs you already like" I think that describes your style of songs very well.

Most of the songs for Iron Goddess were well done. So props go out to everyone I didn't mention as well.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

Thanks everyone for the votes! Here are some late reviews now that my tests are over.

Damien: I love your opening. Really good bass line. I'm not into your voice, but I think this a fun song. Great job.

Psychotic: Cool guitar sample. I don't like the speak-sing vocals. Great guitars towards the end.

SOS: I really thought you were going to win this one. This is a cool song and has a great live feel. I'd like to see your live performances.

Luke: Meandering guitar and voice. Hard to get into it because it seems to lack structure.

Melvin: I was wondering if this is a dig at me also? Haha, great job, I can take the joke :) The "only you can save me" is an awesome bridge part. My favorite of the week.

Phunt: A tad crazy for my taste. Hard to listen to, but a good experimental song.

Paragraph: All over the place, but some interesting parts. It just doesn't gel well together though.

Gotta: Reminds me of the White Stripes. Great guitar line and solo towards the end.

Overnight: Not the type of music I like, but I can tell it's good.

Destruction: I like your opening a lot. Really atmospheric. Erg, bad rapping. Great instrumental though.
