1Overall Description
This is a fairly normal and standard trance track which features all that a trance track should have. Yet aside from that, it doesn't really have anything tangible that creates an interest in the song in question, so the end result is a song that feels very generic in nature.
 
2Creativity Description
This song sounds pretty much like any other trance song that's out there, which means that it's got it's synths, it's subbass, it's 4/4 beats and unfortunately a lack of progression aswell which doesn't work at all for this track.
 
3Arrangement Description
It works out, but really doesn't do anything special within it's confines. The samples are tried and tested before by many many many other artists in this genre, so yes it works, but it's not spectacular.
 
4Does it work as a piece of music Description
When I wrote the above in the review, I didn't mention that this song is from 2001 for a very specifical reason: back then this type of music was new and in style, it worked out great because it WAS innovative at that period of time. However as I've written above, this type of music doesn't work today.. or more accurately, it does work, but nobody cares because it's been overexploited by a million artists out there. This review may seem harsh, but I'll assure you, had this been 2001 when I wrote this, I would have probably smacked a 4 score onto it and said "whoohoo! GREAT!"

Well, since I never listened to commercial trance since that time, I still like it :) Just considder it as "retro" ... lol.
