Well, my friend.....my initial title of "enjoy your free 10s and 5s" would have been a short, sweet departure from a full review. So, here it goes.
As a musician myself, I must say that Michael Jackson was a major influence on my childhood musical tastes and overall keeping with it. I must also say that you've done "Smooth Criminal" a decent service, bud. I really did like the beat and overall groove (of course....it's a little hard to mess it up when you have the great MJ as your guide). You matched the song note for note. Though a little downbeat and calmer compared to the original piece, I do like the touches and personal spin you've put on this. You put the "smooth" back into the the "Smooth Criminal", if you will. I really did like this piece overall. There were some odd level/pan quirks that I experienced (which I chalked up to this computer being on my school's network with only and on-board sound card), but I let it go, because I liked your work. Having this under "Miscellaneous" seems a little odd to me. I guess it works, though. The beginning few seconds almost made me turn this song off at first, but, I gave it a chance, and well, you have impressed. Congrats. You've earned this one.

well im faltered you took the time to give this song such an extensive review! and im also glad you gave it a chance. its more down tempo cus i wanted to bring a softer side to Michael Jackson song, i mean it be really cliché if i made the song bang! if it was a tribute to his death, this is more sad and somber to send off the eternal rest for this distort man
