Score: 9
"Relatively original take on the classic."

I felt this peice did show originality. Most renditions of Zeal seem to be more into the 'haunting and soulful' fashion. This peice certainly gives the song a rather upbeat vibe to the peice, as well as the main melody feeling slightly quicker in my opinion. Almost like trying to envision Zeal BEFORE the inhabitants found out the negative sides to sucking power from a living nuke.
My only real complaint, and the reason you get a 9, is that I felt the intro pre-chorus dragged on for FAR too long. I realize you were setting up for the melody, but it just got a bit repetitive. Still a very good rendition, just not for the impatient.

You are totally right, it was a lot too long.
