Some catchy parts here. Underneath the drums, there are some cool Gary Numan sounds.

I am not crazy about the metallic white noise drums. That high lead makes it sound like a novelty hit.

I would like to see this reworked into a more restrained piece.

Enjoyable synth rock. I liked the melody lines and groove. Sounds nice.

The combination of different sounds work nicely together. I liked the variations in the bassline starting at 1:18, and the arp had a pleasant effect. It all fits together very well.

Good work

Certainly reminds me of some of the stuff about in the 80s...
Works for me. Well done.

Neat track. I think I partially agree with Frantz, in that I found the intro a bit too aggressive. I also felt like the melodic lead could have popped out of the mix a bit more.

That said, this is a fun track and an enjoyable listen. And I definitely got a 1980s vibe from it. Thanks for sharing!
