Overall Impression (7/10)

This is a good tune, almost great. I can picture this piece being a more in line with the heavy rock genre about midway into the track, but overall, this piece was well put together. There wasn't a dull moment in the tune's two minutes and forty seconds of chiptune ear candy (even though it does get a little sour at first). A lot of things make this tune interesting, particularly its violent mood swings.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (8/10)

The track opens up with saw wave samples and the way they overlap each other sound good up until the third pattern, where it seems just too excessive. Other than that the artist really knows his stuff when it comes to making the instruments sound the way he wants them to.

Development (8/10)

The tune starts with very happy melodies which made it enjoyable right from the start and it stays that way until the center of the track where the beat changes to a form of hip hop, which was a great way to carry the piece in a different direction while still making it feel like it belonged there. It felt a little rough upon the next transition but no harm done. The closure was well done as it brought the listener back to the beginning of the tune, though with some minor changes just enough so that it doesn't repeat itself.

Creativity (8/10)

The artist does a great job of developing the mood of the track and then having the ability to change it at will and still make it work. There were only a couple instances of repetition and it does little to throw the listener off from the tune. They do, however, affect replay value.

Enjoyment (5/10)

I would say this tune has average replay value due to the minor things that kinda vex the attention of the listener. While it does have a lot of things going for it, it does get old faster than others.
