PANDEMONIUM - My song (demo) (Solos are a bit SXish) feedback?

I like it quite a bit up until 1:10. I don't know what the fuck happens there but I do not like this transition at all. In fact there is no transition. The solostuff doesn't sound too bad, but the production is quite poor (I forgive you for that) and the solos lack some direction.

But as I said the first minute is great. It's colourful and has a fun pace. By the way, I'd say the intro is more Symphony X reminiscent than the solos.

what Liampie wrote.. some good stuff in there but not very well put together.

I agree that some of the transitions (or lack thereof) give the song a very jerky feeling, but overall I can say I enjoyed most of this song, especially the solo and everything afterwards.

I think this song could use a little bit of trimming/re-arranging, since some parts such as the aforementioned portion at around 1:10 and the death-metal style tremolo picked portion shortly after don't seem to quite gel with the rest of it. I can only guess the reasoning behind some of these parts is to sound much more progressive and shake up the rhythm and time signatures a bit, but there's a time when you should do that and a time when you shouldn't.

I love the intro and solos however, and that one little "marching" section at 2:29 is pretty cool too.
