Without Ends: It certainly has a nice, distinctive feel. For an overall rating I had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 stars, but I couldn't go all the way.... 4 stars
Forsaken Gateways: See "Various ...of the Forsaken." 3 stars
Mechanical War: See "Mechanical War." 4 stars
Role Influences: It doesn't start out too special. Towards the middle and end, though, it really gets better. 4 stars
Role Influences [NES]: "NES" isn't the right term, since you're not restricting yourself to just 8-bit sounds. As for the song, it just seems to make the best parts of the original not as good. 3 stars
Taking the Lead: A worthy addition, though I can conceive of this being better than it is. 4 stars
Taking the Lead [Extended]: The "extensions," such as they are, are just filler. Bleh. 3 stars
Dark Corona Collision Medley: See "Dark Corona Medleys." 4 stars
The Silent Ones: Oh yes. This is so very epic. The bells, oh yes there can never be too many bells. 5 stars

Without Ends: The ocarina is really powerful. It has an air of innocence amidst an almost march-like progression. Very nice.
Forsaken Gateways: This one is quite powerful. I don't like the first thirty seconds or so, but it grows on me quickly. I love the subtly echoing harp.
Mechanical War: Great use of the leads, though the melody doesn't deliver.
Role Influences [NES]: The tempo changes mess with me, but otherwise this is well-orchestrated, especially considering your NES limitation.
Role Influences: Same as above, minus the "NES" comment.
Taking the Lead [Extended]: Piano plus a square lead in the intro... interesting, but effective. The song is good but misses a central driving spirit.
Taking the Lead: I'm undecided. Nothing spectacular, nothing awful.
Dark Corona Collision: Absolutely amazing tune that captures so much energy.
The Silent Ones: Great use of bells here. Another excellent energetic piece.

Forsaken Gateways: An awsome fast paced song. I like the transition exactly in the middle of the song. Nice use of the orchestrae hits. 5-stars
Mechanical War: Suits the name nicely. Nice effects of the square lead and overdriven guitar, I rarely ever use those instruments. 5-stars
The Silent Ones: Not too fond of the tubular bells, but this is fair game. 3-stars
Without Ends: Ooo, is that an Ocarina I hear?! The strings are nice too. 5-stars.
Corona: See the Corona Rating...5 stars.
Role Influences: I was hoping the trumpet played some more 8th and 16th notes, but this song is still solid. 5-stars.
Take the Lead [extended]: Square Lead, Percussive Organ, and Orchestra Hits tie this one together nicely! 5 stars, definitely!
