Iv'e been working on this for the past month now.
I'd love to hear your comments!
My favorite is (II) :)

Well, this is only after a quick listen to a few of them, so it probably won't be all that useful.
In the first one, the guitar that comes in feels really out of place at first, and after that it becomes a tad repetitive. The bit at the beginning was cool, felt kind of Portal-y. In the second, it begins to feel really cluttered around the middle, like there are two different songs running over each other. You may want to try to blend the song together a bit more. The third sounded a lot like two. In the fourth, the darker lower chords that interrupt the higher piano bits need to be toned down a bit. And then the kind of random notes was kind of interesting, but it just got annoying and didn't really develop into anything. The songs are pretty nice, there are just a few things that bothered me.
Anyway, I really can't say much more than that, everyone else should be able to give some much better advice.
I like the first one, but the high tones don't really fit at all.
And it lacks a coherent melody.
The second one feels like a piece from the WOG soundtrack, which is a good thing, its really calming, and I can actually make out a melody in that one. Like it too.
The third is similar, and I love the sudden guitar in the middle, although it gives the song a very dark feeling once it kicks in.
The fourth is too long, its hard to get yourself to listen to it fully because it starts so slowly, and never really picks up until about a minute in, and then it goes slow again. Don't really like it, also because it seems incredibly random for the rest of the song.
You probably didn't intend it to be part of the thread, but I'm gonna say some things about the Space track too. I like it more than 2,3 and 4, mainly because it isn't all piano ( which is entirely subjective obv. ), but it also picks up the pace faster, and is a lot more energetic. But again, it also appears kind of random, lacks coherence.
I'm probably a worse person to judge this, since I've only played one instrument, the trumpet for four years, and I don't know shit about music theory or composing.
typically when you write music you don't want to have a little bit of each genre clashing with each other, no melody, instruments playing over each other, ridiculously off-beat percussion, and incredibly repetitive bits playing over and over
if you focused just on rock and stopped trying to experiment it'd be awesome though

I only listened to the first one and I'm a huge dick when it comes to criticizing almost anything so

These are fine pieces, but they aren't symphonies.
