71 by far. I am not sure what happened to 73, sounds they accidently turned something on or off before export.

71 - cloudy
72 - sounds kinda small
73 - brings the lolz
74 - harsh

I think 71 was better, followed by 74

Voted for 72. 71 sounded too cloudy imo, 73 was highs only and 74 too bright overall.

71 really grate and crunchy
73 something more different than others.

72 was the best in my opinion followed by 71

71 followed by 72. I actually laughed out loud with 73, wasn't expecting that!

My comments on these

71: My favourite from these, although the leads are really dry. Similarly to 31, a really "safe choice" for a project, but misses the wow-factor
72: Really weird one here, as it doesn't sound bad, but it doesn't sound spectacular either. Just a bit "meh", but usable similarly to 71.
73: Maybe the most "original" sound on the competition. I liked how the lead tone switched midway, so the tone was clearly made on purpose and not by accidentally having something on bypass, but it would've been more cool if the rhythm tone would've changed too, maybe after the fast part.
74: After a few runs I liked the rhythm tone, at first it was really weird; for palm mutes it was both scratchy and undergained, but it worked nicely for chords. The bass has no definition and the dark lead delay was a nice touch, but it was maybe too low end heavy.

71 all the way. Followed by 72. 74 is harsh as crap. And 73 is... ... ... Awwwwwwkwarddddddddd... Compared to the other 3

71: Nice mix, I like the edgy rhythm guitars.

72: Also a nice mix, I like the balance overall. Actually I picked it because of that (+ nice bass sound.)

73: Really interesting view on the leads! There should be also a price for creativity hehe.

74: Nice mix, although the guitars are quite loud, they still don't bury the drums too much. It has a nice punch to it.

Although I like certain things about all entries, still 72 is the best mix to me and I didn't have to think too hard to pick it as the winner.
