Positive Comments: Right off the bat, the drums have a sports theme to them, it gets me in the mood to watch fight. The rhythm guitar and low keyboard notes follow the drums adding to the anticipation. The lead guitar screams out melodies, words, that I want to understand. The overlaying keys give a dark overtone, something eerie or sinister is lurking. This song gives all instruments their own time to shine.
Constructive Comments: Personally, I enjoy vocals. To me, instruments add to the stories only a voice can give. The lead guitar may be a bit too screechy at times, around 1:40 for example, but the ears adjust after a few measures. The change-ups are nice, although predictable, I feel without vocals there needs to be more variation. Overall, great instrumental, and if it was playing in an arcade , bar or stadium I’m sure the voices of the audience would fill in the words I want to hear.
