Even though the guitar notes are scrambled a bit to give variety, the instrument itself takes too much of a back seat to the drums for the variety to be felt." Yes, actually that is by design, because that song isn't quite finished yet! i'm working with a vocalist and in that space there will most likely be a few passages of lyrics sung there. so that middle part is still "up in the air." i should have clarified that. my bad. but thanks for listening, the feedback is very much appreciated! @shortcircuit

But I loved the song, and listened to it several times at home and work this week. First, the new version is much nicer. My favorite instrument, though, is the sort of industrial clank that feels (to me) like it gives the song a pulse. But I've <em>always</em> loved that instrument, and the sense of machination and construction that it brings. This brings me to my second thought. Can the clank sample be clarified similar to how you clarified the distorted guitar? Too clear, though, and it'd probably just sound like a couple crescent wrenches banging against each other, rather than like some sort of industrial tool. The middle of the song sounds a bit monotonous to me.
