1Overall Description
Orkabot yet again stabs us with a desolate creation from his mind. He tends to do this when his wife isn't around to keep him sane (check out his trip hop). Orkabot is an expert at the electronic industrial sound and it shows as he melds with the NiN idea allowing for more sophistication and punch. Though the best part of the song is at the end when Orkabot teases us with figments of an effective atmospheric voice, it begged to be added sooner to really make a more unique statement. This track is a must for industrial fans regardless.
 
2Creativity Description
Vivid imagery. Orkabot doesn't need to convince me the world is killing itself, for its seen quite lucid in this piece. The video that would accompany this piece would be a visceral desolated horror show.
 
3Artistic License Description
The piano melody for the track was an excellent call to add a luminous banshee's screech. The beat is pronounced, solid, and forceful. To really make this stand out Orkabot could of brought in his own ghost song much earlier. The atmospheric wails alone would of given more structure and depth to the tune if utilized sooner. Keeping them in the back they missed the limelight. Though what is there is a solid effort and should not be overlooked.
 
4Arrangement Description
The punch comes a bit late, but the drums and the piano melody are expertly placed in the track. Read Artistic License. The synths work well for draining the hope. Everything blends together nicely.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Distortion seems to be a tad over done on the opening piano, but the quality of the rest of the sound is amazing.
 
6Vocals Description
MORE! MORE! MORE! Your shyness will NOT save you. Good wailing should always be exploited. The distortion on the voice worked well and keeping it humanly un-human was a good call.
 
7Does it work as a piece of music Description
This is a prime example of electronic industrial music.

Good review. Piano is a tad over-fuzzed and ends up sounding a bit too shrill and metallic, and your vocals come in too late. THEY'RE GOOD, MAN! YOU CAN SING!! SING MORE!! You've got a good voice for this stuff :D
