Review Score: 8/10 |
Overall Impression (8/10)
This is a difficult piece of music to describe. It has an ambientish beginning and end but its heavy percussion(snare) makes it seem a bit like some kind of rock opera, but the orchestral background and piano lead make it something else. Anyways its fairly upbeat and interesting with it's odd sounding piano melodies. This is apparently a soundtrack piece as the comments imply, which makes the out of place beginning and end make more sense, but as a song in itself they seem not to fit. Quite a nice listen though.

Overall Impression (7/10)
Chilllin' sums up this song quite well. I guess I would call this ambient electronic funk, but really it's just a very chill song. The main drums and bass stay the same for the entire song, but there are plenty of varied melodies being layered over top of them, all sounding very funky. Unfortunately some of these melodies sound fairly similar and are recycled a bit, and the drums and bass are never changed, which is good for the chill sound, but makes the whole song sound kind of the same.

Overall Impression (6/10)
This song definitely rocks but I can't say it rules. The opening riff is real metal overdrive guitar, and the drums are quite well done. Unfortunately there's a bit of a timing issue with the two samples playing the main riff making it cut out a bit. Also the solo isn't a real face melter but it still sounds good, except that the sample kind of doesn't sound like a real guitar, and there are no bends where it seems like there should be.
