1Overall Description
This is a drifting song, ehich instills a feeling of hopelessness and "giving up". A very well done soundtrack tune, in general, that is. I can't really point out in which level you hear the original (it's been over 10 years since I played the Doom series) but this has the original vibe. Very good.
 
2CreativityDescription
Since this is a remix, i'm quite lost in this section.. What does creativity mean when considering a remix, and how do you judge such a piece? I don't know, and thus I chose to leave this section blank.
 
3Arrangement Description
The Choir-sounding pads are well laced on the stereo spectrum, as well as the other instruments, but maybe there could've been some tweaking w/ eg. delay, reverb etc. effects to give the tune a more spacey feeling, since it is quite a chillout song.
 
4Sound Quality Description
No problems here. Everything sounds good, if a bit "muffled" in a sense - dunno if that's my speakers or the mp3 file, though. The lead guitar is really good, and I think the author did a really good job in defining the instruments - everything sounds quite clear and organized.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yep, sure does. This is not what I'd call overly creative music, but it instills that feeling of fear, paranoia and hopelessness that the Doom series had very well. With some more variation in the melodic and/or rhythmic section, this'd be a killer tune.
