These are cool! I think the only downside they both kinda have is getting a bit repetitive, though I really like the middle section of the second one a lot.

First song: There's a lot of the cymbal crashing and it gets kinda old quickly, but I like the organ tease that's in there. The biggest thing is it's just really repetitive up until 3:18 or so. The transitions in it are good, though, and all the instruments seem to fit. And I love the piano work around 4:44, it just gets kinda cluttered with the cymbals.

Second song: I really like this one. The intro isn't too special and it gets kinda repetitive and annoying up until 1:03. But everything else is done really well, there's good variation and it's interesting. The fall of transition around 2:05 didn't seem in fitting with the rest of the song, however. Though I did like how things were brought back in afterwards. The second "calm section" (3:55) was a little awkward of a transition, and it feels like it lasted too long, but I liked that you had everything come back in at full. From there on out it was pretty cool, it did a tad repetitive, but it wasn't too bad. And the section at 6:30 was really cool, too. Personally, I feel like it should have gone from there, build back up with everything for a brief moment, and ended full (or at the strings) as opposed to the fade out, granted I don't know if there's some interconnectedness to these tracks.

So, they're cool! Something that both could use is trimming, I think, just make it so the longer sections are a bit shorter, which would help it be less repetitive. But I do want to reiterate how much I enjoyed the second track. Keep up the coolness!
