1Overall Description
Amazing drumtechniques and wicket bass and strings miss just a little to make it an extremely impressive song. The song is still a really good listen and very enjoyable, if not relaxing experience.
The beats are steady, keep the track going and the melodic elements keep you interested while the beat moves on. I like pretty much everything in this track, yet it feels a little 'been here, done that'.
 
2Creativity Description
Although the song is really impressive for being made with a deadline as tight as the author had, the creativity did suffer. The track has beats that are pretty standard, with rythems and sounds that fail to impress me. Not that they dont work, but it feels as if it's been done before. The choice to go with this beat is a choice that had 'safety' instead of 'innovation' written all over it.
 
3Sound Quality Description
The soundquality is good. It's not outstanding, but it's good, which is quite and accomplishment in IT 2.14. The song feels warm, and deep, but I miss the basskick that is in the song. I would have liked a more hearable one. The song in general could use a little more volume too.

A quality review. Going with what experience has taught me was pretty much the only way to make this song since I couldn't afford to lose any time on trying to make anything unique. Also, yes, the mixing and mastering suffered alot from the fact that I couldn't leave the song alone for a day or two but had to finish it with the "same ears" that I used for composing it.
