1Overall Description
I was for a long time considering what to give the song as an overall rate... a 3 or a 4... the fact that music sounds good, has some nice drums and melody parts with nice electric guitar sections made me wanna give it a 4, after reading that the artist has leveled his skill as beginner for a track like this i was sure it was a 4.

The music is at all time "fresh" and sound good, but there are sections that i loved as well. for an instance at 02:10 follows one of the best melodies I've heard here on TIS. The cool drums with the funky snare also gives the song a special look and feature.

There are lines and riffs of electric guitar in this music that sound a bit aggressive for this tune, they sound good however but they darken the otherwise happy atmosphere of the music.

As labeled by the artist this tune could easily fit into a serious level of a 3D action adventure game. Nice elements in this music makes it one of the most original pieces that has come to my path. nice work indeed and a great achievement.
 
2Creativity Description
The way the music under this nearly 4 minutes changes shape is very interesting. the structure is mainly the same but the main theme changes and shifts which to my opinion is a great thing.

The music sounds pretty original and is at all time interesting to listen to. but the shape shifting at times is so obvious, maybe you should try to morph the shapes more. or at least a smooth change between the themes. for example at 01:22 the shape shifting could use a smarter and better way.
 
3Artistic License Description
Considering this tune, this is an artist with great skills and abilities. i like to see more of his works in the future.
 
4Arrangement Description
The melodic parts are beautiful, the drum set is hard and heavy, the chord progression is balanced and the string work is amazing. the electric guitar screams through the whole music just fine (a little to loud).

The small melodic part that starts at 02:10 is absolutely amazing. it sounds tremendously beautiful. the work with the drum patterns are huge too as they sound great. the crash and hi hats are also planned and placed excellent.

I have an issue with the arrangement though. I didn't like the ending part. the music has not a proper ending. just boom bada boom and the music starts over again. try to set an ending for this cool track, maybe a small and slow fade? or even an outro?
 
5Sound Quality Description
Seems like you have a sharp ear. the sound quality overall is great.
The instruments sounded proper and clean, the samples were also clear.

The minor issue i have is with those samples of electric guitar, they sounded a bit to strong. other than that top notch quality.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
of course is does work as a piece of music, and a beautiful and great music it is too.
