can someone give a review for one of songs, "the arsonist's biography"? it's the most mellow of our tracks and being the last on our list of songs it hasn't had much feedback. Check out the lyrics too, they are pretty sick lol. If someone gives a detailed review for me and they ask, i will review a song of theirs too. Thanks guys, heres the link

As fan of thursday I have to say that your songs are really cool.I dig them all.Especially "Splinters" .But be carefull when you record double vox.Hmm what elsee.Oov guitars level is a bit low I think.Rest is really cool.Looking forward to hear more from you guys. Cool

I LOVE the mellow feel of this song. The lyrics and vocals are both haunting and sound great over that cool intro. I love the guitar riff and how it just seems to be doing it's own thing. I like the lyrics being sung forceful over music that's not, I think that really adds impact to the vocals.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.... Great job guys, this song is awesome!!!

Hey,
Nice job. It's got a cool groove. Very mellow guitar.
The breakdown at 4:15 is great.

I'd be careful with the doubled vocals as well.

very "modern" sounding track, great job on vox and guitars. overall mix needs some compression i think, but good stuff, well produced.

peace Cool

Wow, great track guys. Got the Chilli's funk-style in there. Vocals seem a little "shy" but suit the track style nevertheless. Well done. Very Happy

ok, i listened to harper's folly, its a sweet track, i don't usually listen to instrumentals but i'd listen to this, its cool. Has a driving feel, and the harmonies are good, but in a way its sumthin i'd listen to for chillin out, its nice.

The guards - great guitar sound - heavy dirty evil.... Got a touch of System of a Down going on I reckon. Nice guitar work. Well thought out tracking(guitars). Your drummer sounds like his double kick should be good live. Ended just when I was getting in to it. How about a middle eight?

Splinters - Another good quality recording and mix - I'd have staggered the vocal to heighten the freaky effect on the verses. Maybe sung through a megaphone on the second vocal on the chorus or something. Like the fact you've thought out a good few sections as well. Reckon it would rock live

The Arsonists Biography - Starts very Marillion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_(singer)) which is a good thing. Quite progressive rock vibe with nice touches in the toms and harmonies. Like the "Burn down the nursing home" verse alot. Got a real cool vibe.

Considering your age and how long you've been going - you guys have got a real future ahead of you if you can stick at it. I enjoyed the music and it has hints at a new take on things going on that could give you an edge- hell of alot better than most 15 year old crews you hear giggin around town.

sounds wicked, but watch ur second vocals. ok mix but it will improve as you get used to it. Guitar instrumentals are coming on, make sure they arent drowned out. great lyrics too. Well done - u sound really different - alot better than most stuff out. try some more experimental stuff - it will take you far! xx(guess who?)
