1Overall Description
Its a track with highs and lows. The obvious highs beeing the overall sound quality and the complex themes that are created. The obvious low is the feeling of not beeing finished.
 
2Creativity Description
I don´t know how you arranged this track. Nevertheless, let it be a summary of combined samples or let it be played note by note through vst´s, it´s creative potential is there. Point.
 
3Artistic License Description
As mentioned above the sample quality is fine. All the sounds melt together quite as they should, IMHO.
As the track progresses the wheight of the sound adds to an impressive scene of a post-nuclear world. Images come to my mind, my thoughts fly. This is enough power to give a 4, but, as mentioned earlier, the track still seems to be unfinished. The track ends more or less in a harsh way and it is definitely to short for the stage it provides.
 
4Arrangement Description
Allthough the sound quality is fine and the samples are shurely balanced the overall arrangement leaves an unfinished impression. As for the length and the end of the track. Creatively spoken the arrangement shows that there is someone working who knows what to do concerning both the emotional and mixing skills. It appeals to me like a compressed suspense curve. If all this would happen a little more stretched it could reach for the very top.
 
5Sound Quality Description
The instruments have a very good quality, as i said. But for the final mix it would be good to use some sort of decent compressor to punch in some sort of fear. This would be the final touch to a wonderful sounding track.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
It certainly does work out as a kind of soundtrack.
