1Overall Description
This piece of music is very reminesque of notes and styles I used myself when composing music back in the tracker days. This song has a great idea but unfortunately never takes off. It stays solid, it stays safe, it stays average.
 
2Creativity Description
What the song consists of is, in its own way, very nicely done. It however sounds the same and straight forward all the way through. No counterpoints to throw the listener in new directions, no surprises to enhance interest, no crazy outbreaks to make the listener go "wow, that's cool!". It's all just heading down a long, straight and uneventful road. Safe and ok, but slightly uninspiring.
 
3Artistic License Description
Nope. It's too monotonous to to push any limits. But what I also must add is that the samples, for being an original FT2 tune is very nicely done. Nothing out of the ordinary but I still like it.
 
4Arrangement Description
When looking at the core of what the artist worked with in the first place, which is also what I as a reviewer should do, I must say that the arrangement in itself, despite its straightforward nature, is very well done! It certainly does show you have musical skill.
 
5Sound Quality Description
I'd say a little above average but not quite a "4". The production quality lacks because of low quality samples. Equalizing and tuning is done absolutely ok for the most part but could be both a bit sharper with layering effects added to certain sounds and musical scapes to create more dynamic. Post-production processes of a track is sometimes essential if you really want to bring out certain feelings and emotions with a piece.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Because of its repetitive and straightforward nature; no. As a tune to just sit and chill while playing in the background to ease your mind a little; yes. So a little of both I say.
