0.0 Itried to make the measures without any gaps, but every time I put an Instrument or some pic (!@#@!#@!wutever <.>#@!#!@) before the white line, the lines always jumps farther 0.0 (like one space between) how do you do that? o_O
I remember that I didnāt notice this song until after it got posted into Kamaraiās āSpace Gameā thread, and thus I donāt think Iāve ever given it a proper review.
Itās always been a mixed opinion for me. The chorus is so good that you canāt use the Synth Bass high anymore without it reminding anyone whoās heard this song of the chorus, itās almost stealing. But to be honest, the chorus was really just a gold nugget in a murky river of bad decisions.
Introās too long, and although it is somewhat interesting, it really gets old fast. The drumming kicks in really low, which leads to an amazing idea in having it rise from there to a normal pitch, but then it cuts of into a generic drum roll, no matter it being with the bass drum instead of a more conventional snare. The first break after the chorus starts somewhat decently, nothing wrong but nothing really standing out, but then the techno bass comes and just ruins the section. The worst part is the synth1 parts sound good, if you listen to them behind that bass, which just overshadows everything. Then yet another drum roll, this time with a snare, which sounds better but is even more uninspired. The next break sounds decent but there are two huge problems, one is that every sheet is played twice, and the drumming is just too powerful.
If it isnāt obvious at this point, The biggest letdown to me was the drumming. Itās boring in some places and a little too out there in others, not at all like your usual style. The roastmaster style peeks in in places, like whenever you use open hi hat #4, but for the most part, the drumming justā¦doesnāt work. It doesnāt support the song, and it isnāt interesting enough to make up for it.
As for the rest of the solo, which is what Iām assuming it is, it just seems to progress to a point where it becomes so random and cluttered that you can hardly tell whatās even going on. It all comes to a point in sheet 34, which is the most desperate transition I have ever seen. The synth just seems to be playing at complete random, and while this worked in the intro, it really just sounds unprofessional here.
But you know what? That ending stands in major contrast to the rest of the song. Adding synth 1 an octave above wasnāt the best choice, but the rest is pure magnificence. All of it. I could listen to the chorus on loop for an hour and never get tired of it, and you ended up making it twice as good with the addition of one instrument. Taking away the drums worked, and the ending, the horrible, dissonant ending, was just perfect.
Overall, I think it needs a total rework, just better drumming and different instrument choices, and less repetition. Iām tempted to still give this a 4ā¦but with great regret, I think itās only worth a 3.9/5, only for the amazing chorus and the stupendous ending.
