Review Score: 9/10
Overall Impression (10/10)
When I first heard this module, it was seriously an impressive cover of an already amazing song in my eyes. The instruments used make it feel like a pumped-up Genesis cover and the effects of reverb and flanger really help to make the module feel full and complete.
Technique, Arrangement, Composition (9/10)
Between Isiah and JMNerd, the overall structure of just the module itself is organized and feels complete. The labeling of channels also helps with that. I personally like the addition of the effects used from OpenMPT as they make the module sound less empty and more like a complete composition.
Development (8/10)
The module itself is mixed pretty well, with the master bar usually only going into the yellow at most. The transitions are smooth and since it is not a .mod, the panning is great as well. However, the module samples are noisy at points due to it trying to replicate the feel of a Genesis song. But, overall the arrangement is smooth.
Creativity (9/10)
The composition is very good at showing the creative feats of the module, especially with certain tracks like the bass and chords. Each instrument mixes with each other which helps to solidify the module and make it sound better. The melody does seem to drift off at points but recovers nicely.
Enjoyment (9/10)
The module does get a bit repetitive but overall it is a great module to have in a collection and it doesn't ever make me feel like I want to stop playing it and move on to something else. It is a catchy tune that is well represented, thanks to Isiah and JMNerd.
