Overall Impression (7/10)

Interesting hard rock song here. The drums are very good for this style of music. But as you will soon find out, the guitar riffs are a rip from one of moby's songs. Even down to the guitar samples! They're all ripped! The artist said this is inspired by that moby song. I'll say! That doesn't help the creativity aspect at all.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (6/10)

The artist only used 4 channels, and I must say that the artist used them well. But the guitar riffs are copy and paste quick-melodies. Some original riffs might have been a better option here. The drums aren't ripped, and they sound pretty good. Also, there is some creative bass work.

Development (6/10)

The song starts out with mostly drums and bass for a while. When a voice says, "let's go," you would expect the guitar to come in, but no, it only gets faster, with just drums and bass. It takes a while for you to hear the ripped guitar, but it's a welcome addition. If you heard this song without hearing the original moby song, you might think the guitar is great. It is, but it's you know what-ed. After a little bit of guitar, it goes straight back to the bass. It's pretty groovy bass. Then more guitar. Then bass near the end. As for the grand ending, it's made up of weird voices. Great. :) I think the song goes on a bit too long. There isn't a ton of variation.

Creativity (5/10)

The drums, bass, and strings are the creative part. The guitar (as I have said far too many times before), is not the creative part. Rippage. :)

Enjoyment (4/10)

The song goes too long and some patterns are repeated. Not very replayable. It would be a grind to listen to this for too long.

Additional Comment

The news story clip in this song is really depressing. Try thinking positively! :)
