I love the cheesy opening! And the fact that the same instrument carries through. Is it an organ? No idea.

Actually, it gives the entire track a playful feel, which is unusual for most Unchosen Paths material. Not that that's a bad thing.

Love the solo around 1:45.

Quiet section is ... actually a bit disturbing. Makes you expect some giant explosion of sound. Which comes in around 3:10.

Also, ends on a cool frantic pace.

It's no Creeping Dusk or Scourge of 1691, but this is still an awesome track, and worthy not just of OCR, but also of Unchosen Paths.

That would be a harpsichord.

This is probably my personal favorite track from goat's Unchosen Paths project. It's surprisingly fun and light-hearted in a way, which is a great counterpoint to the looming darkness/evil feeling most Castlevania music (and a good number of the songs on Unchosen Paths, consequently) represents. My favorite part is the clean electric break at 2:56: It really makes a good bridge into the uptempo ending that rocks my face. Great stuff, goat!

Very nice to see goat seeing through Unchosen Paths to its close completion, and keeping a consistent quality throughout. While the longer medlies of the album are quite the awesome, listening on repeat doesn't come as easy to them as to the shorter ditties like Froggy Mosh. I'm loving it for the same reason as all other of Chris' work- so well played, so much power.

Very awesome and very heavy. You're a monster. I like those synths at 0:20. They remind me of Cradle of Filth.

I thought it was really weird at first, but eventually I understood the kind of production that this song has, and the melodies all clicked together. I can't really notice anything that sounds like a bad sample, like djp mentioned. Slowly becoming a really decent unorthodox song.

Not goat's best. Samples here are bad.

Go to goat's site and get all of his other stuff - amazing stuff. This "Froggy Mosh" not so much.

Here's more of Goat doing what Goat does best... heavy rock! I'm a bit biased towards this sort of thing since it's one of my two favourite genres.

When it comes to Goat... the samples may not be the highest quality, but that hardly matters when it all just sounds so good!

It's really quite simple... rock fans will love it, those who don't much like rock will probably look away from it. :P
