1Overall Description
A well done song. Although I don't normally listen to this type of song, I recognize it is well-crafted, and I'm sure fans of this genre will really like it.
 
2Creativity Description
This song is creative in several respects, and holds my interest, although it doesn't forcefully grab my attention (which keeps it from getting 5 stars here). The highlights of the song for me are the heavy bass sections, the harp-like sections, and definitely the very weird sounding samples sprinkled here and there (like the cyborg electronica howling wolf, at least that's what it sounds like to me!). Also the voice samples lend nice flavor, giving good breaks and transitions when needed.
 
3Artistic License Description
The samples blend nicely. The only samples that do not seem to fit very well are the hissy hihat and the tinny 'metal can' sample (first heard at 1:44). The hihat could be crisper and the metal can could be less tinny.
 
4Arrangement Description
Transitions are smooth overall. Also, the second voice in the middle section seems too loud in comparison with the first voice. Panning is good, although I would have liked to have heard more pronounced panning in the first harp-like section.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Noticeable sound quality issues: The voice sample at 2:12 is not very clear. Also, the lead bell sample has a hint of graininess to it, but this is only apparent in sections where there aren't many competing instruments (such as at 6:52)
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes this does work as a piece of music, given the genre.
