1Overall Description
Track has a clear goal, it represents a development story how a persons personality goes downwards to duality. Just wanted to state it out here since feeling is 100% there where artist stated it to be.
 
2Creativity Description
Maybe strong part of the track is creativity. Forgive me if I say that intuitive use of ordinary, even mundane elements makes this piece of art what it is. Small sherds of dissonance thrown here and there draws up spoor of upcoming scitchophrenia. Just like you've tracking up the madness ahead you......
 
3Artistic License Description
Apart from the intuition there's not much of a pushing borders of a genres.
 
4Arrangement Description
Having said, all elements supports our story, including arrangement. Loss of control is the arrangement. Near the end drums disappear and repetitive riff overpowers mix. Loosen it when drums return to ending....thats quite some arranging :)
 
5Sound Quality Description
Track is old and due to our coops I know where artists skills are in this area now. Dont want to bother with dated issues. But to hint something I'd like to point out some drum mixing issues. As much I love subtle delay on kick, I hate it replays all those low freqs messing bass mix. There should be a hipass filter cutting out everything below 150hz at least. Just to avoid boomy bottom :)
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Its a development story as said and has a great impact if listened with a thought and a heart :)
