I don't want to have to download a file and then listen to it. I will gladly listen to your music if it can be streamed somewhere online (bandcamp, soundcloud, whatever) _________________

I personally found these tracks to be absolute polar opposites.
I found eAR rAP to be more like ear rape... sorry but it just had to be said. I found it to be unlistenable, and at one point it actually got so loud that it did hurt my ears. I would recommend being more conservative with your volume changes.
Life. Or Not, however, I found interesting from a musical standpoint. Obviously it isn't very polished, but that's to be expected because I'm sure you're using either freeware or really cheap stuff. I thought it was artistically interesting, and I particularly liked the use of accenting in the first drum break about 30 seconds in.
Got ear raped again at the end though. >_> Other than that, I thought LON was well done. I would go in more of that minimalist direction with your future work, rather than trying to stretch only a few musical ideas into 5 minutes like the first song.
You've got potential for sure _________________

To be quite honest, it sounds like you basically sat there and messed around in FL Studio for about 20 minutes. Nothing really makes either of these songs stand out except for the length of eAR rAP, which isn't really a good thing. _________________

ear rape: wtf is up with the mixing, it's awful and you should feel bad. the volumes change around randomly. oh hi 1:22 congratulation I'm stopping here.
life: if you aren't mixing a minor scale with a major scale here then my musical ear has failed me, this is just dissonant as hell. sounds really empty at times. kinda boring.
note I hate electronic music _________________

In Life or Not it's an augmented chord progression. It's a bit dissonant since generally augmented chords are followed by some sort of resolution, like a major chord. _________________

Ah, thanks.
eAR rAP is alright for the first minute. I'll agree with everyone else that the volume is somewhat of an issue. I don't know what's going on for the next couple of minutes but I'm not certain I would classify it as music. Then again I feel the same way about skrillex. Then you sort of go back to the beginning, then there are some random sounds. Then at the end there's a short drumbeat that could be decent but then it stops and the song ends.
Life. Or Not is a bit better put together. The drum break is rather sudden, and the high notes at the end are a little off-putting. I don't know shit about augmented chords.
Overall this stuff sounds fine for someone who just messed around with a program for a little while. It's not something I would listen to though, and I do like some electronic music, I even make some really shitty stuff myself. _________________

MEETLOAF - As close to pure noise as you can get without actually being noise. Fast nonsense =/= music.
Screwed - Still doesn't sound like it's actually in onee scale but this is actually music to an extent sooo gj d(''d) _________________

To be fair, MEETLOAF was made specifically to be a custom song in Guitar Hero. _________________

So you're taking the Chaotrope approach to making music. _________________

You can make lolhard songs that actually sound like music though. _________________
