Really liked the variation in the styles, rock, vocal and EDM.

Arcana - Nice work, really liked the guitars and the stuff on the background.
Flurry of Flames - The vocals are a nice addition to the song. The song could use a bit more variation, but it's something different and I like that.
Silverpool - Liked the samples used in this song, especially the one in the begin and after 2:08.

PlanarianHugger - Thanks for submitting another bonus, really appreciate it. Especially enjoyed the bassline.

Flurry gets First Place for the vocals and the arrangement.

Silverpool's was fun also. It was a little less bold than Flurry's, more of a cover.

I can't vote for PlanarianHugger or for myself obviously.

Arcana - Always nice to hear a rock cover! As you mentioned, though, rhythmically it feels a little too loose. Also I think the lead guitar is too timid and hesitant. I'd like to hear it played more confidently and assertively.

Silverpool - Definitely getting better! I'm no expert but yeah I'd call that EDM. I think you did a pretty good job on your frequency balance and your balance among the instruments, although the lead gets a little drowned out at times. However - and I don't know how you missed this - your drum pattern gets off the beat at 1:30 and stays that way for the rest of the song. It's like you accidentally shifted your entire drum part over by a beat, and as a drummer that makes the rest of the song completely unlistenable for me.

Flurry of Flames - Props for going for vocals! Personally I can't sing but I think it would be better if your vocal line didn't follow the piano line underneath so exactly. Either sing a different melodic line from time to line or occasionally change/drop that part of the piano line to give it some variety.

PlanarianHugger - This is alright but it didn't move me at all. Sorry. At the beginning it seems like you're using the lead line for atmosphere: it sounds like it's more in the background than up front, which is fine but I want to point it out to make sure that was your intent. Also you're doing that thing again where you're making slow changes to the volume level of the entire track over time. You've got to stop that. It makes me feel seasick :(

Arcana - Like the garage band rock style. It brings the song a new feel. I can't help but feel that some of the notes sound out of key but like it other wise.
Silverpool - Nice instrumentation and percussion. I kind of wanted more variation from the original but this works. The main thing that kills this piece is the second time through the melody something gets of beat and makes it hard to listen to.
Flurry of Flames - First slowing it down and playing it on piano is great but then original lyrics on top of that. Wow! Some of the lyrics don't rhyme that well with others but I love this. Great work.

Flurry of Flames: I was surprised by the vocals, were they from the source or did you write them yourself? Either way, nice job.

Arcana: I like the guitar, but the sound that comes in at 00:29 felt out of place, IMO.
