1Overall Description
I really like this song — from the ’80s style ‘clap’ beat in the background, to the retriggers in the beginning, to the chiptune-y blipety-bleep, to the Daft Punkish vocoding. These pieces are sewn together into a very presentable work, something I can imagine seeing on a CD — or let’s go even further, as a videoclip on some channel.

I wanted to give a 4.5, but there’s no such thing, and it’s worth more than a 4 from me, so it gets a five.
 
2Arrangement Description
Mostly spotless, the only very rough edge being the end, which I find rather rushed and sudden. It can be fixed pretty easily though: 1) through repeating the chorus once, 2) or more and fading it out, 3) or by changing/adding to the last few percussive beats.
 
3Sound Quality Description
I have no problems whatsoever with the quality — in a few places (around 2:35–2:40 and once again after it) the vocoder went a little overboard, but otherwise it’s perfect.
 
4Vocals Description
Good voice, good vocoding on it (except for the minor glitches mentioned in the Sound Quality section).

The vocoder makes the singer sound British, which is also something I like; intended or not.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
It’s definitely listenable — I rarely add new things to my playlist, and it just happened. The minor oddnesses with the vocoder and the ending are the only things that vote against this score.
