To start off, the first introductory bass played was pleasant until a new, rather unfitting bass joined in. After a rather interesting introduction, the track breaks into percussions, stops, then the song is about takes off into a barely-tolerable chip-breakbeat melody. There's just too much going on in two major areas of the track to make it easy to listen to, with 17 channels playing full blast. The song's more of a happy tune than an angry one, though the percussion used was played... quite angrily, and it doesn't harm the ears until everything else is played beside it. I wasn't too thrilled with the closure, though the way it closed was pretty interesting. Not a bad one overall, and was kinda rough in getting itself started, but there's plenty of room for potential. Just a suggestion to fellow listeners; hold on to something when listening. :P Very unexpected stuff was used here to move the song around; Offsets, panning sets, channel and global volume control, portamentos, vibrato, and a whole lotta groovy low-quality sounding drumloop samples, which were effective for a song of this nature, and even though most of the chip samples worked fairly well together, they could have been better, but the effects are really what gives this song a plus rating; sharp, on-key, interesting.
