1Overall Description
Ravey hardcore piece here. It's nice to hear some people still making that style, while the most popular style nowadays is dark industrial hardcore. Nice piece of music, which needs some work on soundquality, originality and arrangement. Don't be fooled by the rating.
 
2Creativity Description
It's not the most creative hardcore I've ever heard, but it's not halfbad. The track is repetitive towards the end, which is a shame.
 
3Artistic License Description
I think the artist has some of Ruffneck's old style covered, but needs to try put something more of himself in there. Copying an idea is one, using the idea to make a really good song is two.
 
4Arrangement Description
The arrangement is what you'd expect of a hardcore track, but the song lacks progression. It sort of stays on the same level and holds few surprises, i guess there is some work to be done. We need progression, variation and more subtle instruments/effects here...
 
5Sound Quality Description
The soundquality is the on the less enjoyable side of this song. Most of it sounds very old, no eq or good compression on the instruments. This could sound so much fuller and I think it should, the tools lay before you. Instruments fit together, but lack definition in the highs and lows. The hihat panned right is a weak spot as well as the riff which is a bit muffled.
 
6Vocals Description
The voicesamples work, but they are a lit low on volume and low soundquality.
