I listened to In the Year 200X, nice song! It's straight out metal with 8bit sounds. I didn't even think about the retro sounds, because they're implemented so seamlessly in the song. The vocals weren't so good, though. I'd like more attitude and passion for them. But there's never too many bands like this, or are there any like you?
I'd like to hear your comments about my music too!
