Thank you guys for the feedback it is well appreciated and it reenforces what I felt. Although its sometimes hard to be critical of ones own work, the writing process and hearing it all come together is what i enjoy the most. After, I tend to just move onto the next song. Locally every band here seems to all be screemo metal, and i hold the same position as @thenewgreen and @Jeshk0 stated, nothing new coming out just imitation. So i can see my own stuff with a fresher perspective. All the songs are done by myself and then i bring in the singer and drummer later so its more about fun factor! ... and yeah, singer has a decent set of pipes! I seriously think this has been the most realistic feedback yet, just whats needed. Cheers Guys! :)

Didn't come across as asshole-ish. Im fine with criticism, in fact i think its what makes someone a better person when they are able to reflect on some critique. Been experimenting a lot lately on different stuff so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of the studio next!

This is a fantastic post and one that I've had to read through a number of times to process some of the concepts I'm not familiar with however, the idea that we store information in the brain, like that of a computer is one that I have never been comfortable with (if this were so then I would be deleting some past encoding experiences!). I have also seen an increase in ads on TV promoting apps or websites that encourage users to 'reprogram' their brains. I understand their has been some scientific developments in understanding neuroplasticity but I think the jump straight into TV ads advising people that they can live happier lives via online games is somewhat pseudoscience. I could go into a vast philosophical rant but I'm keen to read your next post, thanks for sharing such an in depth article!
