The arrangement is for the most part done now, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear 'em. There are a couple of rough spots mixing-wise that I'll get to at some other point and time.

Great song! I love it!
Very hard to come up with ideas for improvements. I like it as it is. Love the screams that start around 1:15.
Perhaps some more changes to the rhythm would make it more varied.

I feel like the kick is just a little too big, but that could be just me. You're right that it needs a better intro, but once it gets past the first minute it's bangin, so good job there. I'm gonna watch this one.

The drums come in a little sharply for me, considering until then, the song's just moody. Maybe the drums are just plain to sharp. Beyond that, it's great.

The intro pads feel too lo-fi for the drums, so I agree with what was said about the drums. Maybe you can muffle them a bit and then bring them out in full for the next part. At least then it will have more variation in the soundscape.

Once the wobbly bass drops in, things really pick up. Nice use of dino sounds.

By the way, check my MC Kids wip, Vangrance, it needs more opinions. (it has a dubby section as well ;-) )

Lol this was pretty cool with the sound effects and stuff plus the Godzilla one haha I liked that. That kick seems kinda too boomy for the rest of the drums but that's my only complaint other than that keep it up, this shit's dope.

Put in a lot of work over the night, so I have a new version. If you'll notice, this'll turn into a housish thing because I don't know how to make Dubstep. Have a listen-see.

And JustChris, I'll check it out in a second, although I must mention I'm not a huge dubstep fan. I'm kinda fiddling around with it to see what the fuss is about but its not as much fun as DnB.

So, this is pretty awesome. I love the part one minute in. No complaints productionwise, but in terms of arrangement, the last minute is really empty and sourceless. I assume you're not done yet (you'd better not be), because the percussion just stops and the song fades out. Just make sure to bring back the source before the end so that the sourceless section serves as a transition between dubstep and house rather than an ending (I think the transition works pretty well, personally).

But yeah, I enjoyed it. Metroid Fusion could use more attention.

That was kind of the idea, to drop out the source before going into the house section then bring everything back in. Really this track started out as a house mix so I guess its all coming full circle.

Worked on it some more today, posted up the newest version. Needs a few embellishments here and there and an ending but for the most part the arrangement is done.

I'm liking the new section! Wish I could be this awesome with drums.

Though I feel like it might be better to go directly from the transition back to the source without fading everything out around 3:30. We've already had enough of a break with the transition section, and the fadeout just loses all of the song's energy. It sounds like the song's over, and then we're dragged back in, which is a bit awkward. I don't know if other people feel differently, but that's my thought.

Either way, this is definitely going on my iPod when it's done.

I really need some more thought on this, Hylian Lemon's been the only person who has commented on it since the first version.

I really am enjoying it. Sorry I can't think of much to say, though.

Some parts might be too close to the original. More of improvements to the original than reinterpretations, I guess. Or, you might have enough originality in there it doesn't matter.

I talked to zircon about this mix so there are a lot of refinements that'll probably happen to this mix but this'll definitely get finished; I've spent way too much time on this for it not to.
