My first forward ever!

Woohoo, I just got two out of five forwarded for the shoegaze/altrock listing S250428AK! My very first ones! First I thought I got three but despite the "nothing to critizice" feedback one was apparently a little off genre wise (too noisy/aggressive). Two other ones were lacking in topline melody or/and developmental arc. The one that I tried the hardest to keep on target and follow every tip and rule with got the least favorable feedback. And I have to admit, I was the least inspired to do that one even though I was happy with the end result.
I was a little surprised which ones got through because they didn't quite follow the general rules of a good cue. They are both essentially more like big slow build-ups but have a lot of development harmonically and melodically. So, basically the ones that were true to the genre and had the best atmosphere and melodies got a forward.
Caverns of Hope was one of my favourites so I'm really happy it got through. It sounds pretty huge IMO.

Deep Ascension has a lot of air and develops slowly towards the grande finale.

This one was one of my personal favourites but I guess the interplay between the quite complex chord progression and very simple melody was not enough. Melody is the king. I will rework this for sure.

I was starting to feel a little anxious so this is a big relief. I'm doing something right. Phew.
