I liked it. One of the better Rock remixes on the site. Very clean.

Kept trying to post a review for this on VGMIX, but somethin' didn't like me. This song mesmerizes me every freaking time...I just love how the guitar takes everything under control. Sometimes I just sit back and close my eyes. The question->answer section is followed up with an awesome electric guitar..amn this is where it reaches the climax for me...great great job...

The beginning of it had me worried with the sound quality, but i had completely forgotten about it within the first 20 seconds.

Amazing guitar work with mellow drums that just fit the feeling. Dj P hit it right on when he mentioned Blue Oyster Cult and Sting. This song is addicting, and I keep playing it over and over.

It's mellow, yet has the 80's thriving in it. On my playlist for sure.

I like this one. Nice job. :)

However, it sounds a lot like one of the Three Doors Down songs. :P I'm not sure exactly if you did base it off of them or not, but sadly, the intro is very similar.

8/10

First off, I'm completely unfamiliar with the original. Never heard the song, never played the game.

With that said, this blew me away. If you do end up making a version with vocals please post it in the forums because I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to hear it. This just rocks. DJP mentioned that it kinda sounded like an instrumental Game Over track and that had me expecting all out rock, but this is much slower and more flowing. Great mix, and one that no one should miss.

Congratulations Darangen. I read alot about your rejected mixes on the Judges Forums. It's great to see you finally made it through with perfect technical execution and excellent guitar playing. This does have an 80s feel and thank goodness no reverb on the snare drums. I also found the keychange very fitting as this them didn't sound great in D minor.

Good job and congratulations again.

I like this mix, though I kind of wish you hadn't told us that you were trying to write lyrics to accompany it, as when I listened to it, I found myself hearing where they would fit.

Still, the overall quality and concise simplicity of this mix shines through, vocals or not.

8.8/10

This is very nicely done. I love it (partially because you chose my favorite DKC2 track)
