My first thoughts apon opening this one were "oh no, a chiptune! This is going to drive me nuts!" But then I thought "yay, at least it makes the music classification easy." :) Chips often overuse the arpeggio effect, and it makes for more noise than music in my opinion. That was in fact the impression this one gave me at the beginning, but the arpeggios quickly withdraw to the background to make room for a melody. The whole thing is fast-paced and wild. There is enough variation in it it to stop me from calling it repetitive, as annoying I happen to think it is. There really isn't that much more I can say. Not being a fan of chiptunes, my objectivity is impaired, but I know that I have heard much better within this genre. However, if chiptunes do it for you, you may enjoy this more than I did. Sound quality is limited by the fact that this uses beepy chippy samples, but I've heard better uses of them than this. As I mentionned above, the usual arpeggio effect is used as it is in most chiptunes. This song is compressed into a relatively small amount of channels, not the traditional four, but eight is pretty close. File size is of course very small, something to be expected of this genre also. I'd say this is your average chiptune, so I'll give it your average score. Sound fair?
