And with a pinch of salt.
I disagree with the bass, I'd do it differently now if I was going to, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it dreadful. It's relatively standard with the genre.
As for percussion.. meh. Standard two step with a bit of variation and glitch.
Vox levels? They don't change much. Check your headphones/speaker connects.
And copyright, it was an acapella released online. Not something I personally ripped. If they (Gorillaz) decided to complain, it could be easily removed. It's also non-commercial use, so it's very unlikely to be a problem in the first place.
I appreciate the review in the manner that it isn't like most of the other 200+ reviews stating "ZOMG THIS IS AMAIZGNN MAEK MOAR!!!111!1", but you don't really do much to suggest improvement, so really.. it just comes off as a bitchrant. It would be more productive to point people towards ways to do things better if you're going to bother reviewing their works.
