1Overall Description
i really enjoy these tracks, but i could understand that others do not because in every part of this song you hear that it is 100% tracked. you can surely hear, that the skills needed to create such riffs in a tracker are above standard but if you are not a die hard fan of tracked stuff you will find the guitars a bit too ... artificial ...
 
2Creativity Description
this is really good tracked metal stuff. just put aside all the "you hear that the guitars are not live" comments and look at all the superior riffs. a nice intro ... much fast paced riffs even some slow parts to cool down.
 
3Artistic License Description
i do not hear any flaws here ... perhaps there could have been some more here and there ... but the things present are good as they are.
 
4Arrangement Description
 
5Sound Quality Description
the good old "tracked metal" problem. it is a real shame in this song that the guitars are all tracked. they just sound a bit to thin for the pace of this song.
 
6Vocals Description
mmh ... i can not say that the vocals are bad ... they surely fit. but they do not make the song better since the song would be exactly as interesting without them.
 
7Does it work as a piece of music Description
i surely hold onto this song because this is a good song. i can live with the synthetical guitars since i am not better in tracking metal songs. as long as this song does exactly what a metal song should do it deserves a good score in this section.

I have been tracking metal music since 1997 and it has been discussed for years and years now whether the guitars should be tracked or play live. I personally own the equipment and the guitar to record live guitars for tracked songs but I am totally against putting live guitars into tracked metalscene. I have been using tracked guitars for years now and I will keep on using them. Still thank you for your review, but other songs you'll hear by me will include tracked guitar riffs too. :D Cheers.
