Overall Impression (8/10)

The song is cool, to say the least.
The whispering hit me weirdly though. Was not expecting this to have lyrics. Reed, you've done a good thing again!!! You can't keep getting away with this.
The guitars feel very brute-force styled. Almost industrial, in a non-musical sense...

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (10/10)

The samples are really high quality. Those drums feel live! The guitar in the beginning, is fabulous.
'break the bricks, like a retard'
yeah i break bricks all the time
Reed's a fantastic composer, throwing a whole line of cool tunes from funky to I AM ANGRY music.

Development (10/10)

The whole thing compliments itself. Like I said above, Reed knows what they're doing. Samples are clean and clear, the mixing is cocacolastic. great work.

Creativity (8/10)

I was certainly inspired by this. It didn't feel insanely creative, but it did have me off and writing tunes with the same feel. The development~ was Wacky and Welcome. The transition from a big, minor, angry feel, to some good rock stuff wasn't shocking- but it was different. Good going.

Enjoyment (10/10)

It's not leaving my collection.
It's nice to listen to when you're working.
It isn't too repetitive, I listen times in a row. All of Reed's music here are amazing, and in my collection.
