This is the Perfection Theory!
Man, this song needs so much more exposure than just 21 votes and 2 reviews so far. This needs a top 5, just like all your other songs. It's just so amazing. Definitely one of your best work, an amazing improvement from the original.
As said in the review on the WiP, the melodies are really, really catchy. I wouldn't even change a note in them if I had to go through them. The alternate melody of the piano was very catchy, and so were all the other melodies. The instruments are really amazing too. I suppose you made them yourself, didn't you? Well, no matter, they are just so epic. Loved the instrument that plays at around 2:16 at its loudest, and keeps playing till around 2:32. The piano was really good too, with the type of melody that will not exit your head no matter how hard you try to get it out. Choir voices in the background were really cool too (seriously though, do all of your songs have choirs in them? :P), and in all, the instruments and melodies here are a perfect combination.
Oh, and the usual, transitions and interludes were very professionally done. What impressed me most though was how well you introduced new instruments, especially the cool sounding one, which had a great transition to it at 2:14, and I couldn't find one transition which didn't sound smooth.
And now, I'll move up to the buildups, which by the way, were really brilliant. The gradual buildup at the beginning was perfect, and really, really excellent job on that buildup at 1:21, it was just so awesome. Reverbed kick was fantastically done too. In all, that buildup is BY FAR one of the BEST I've heard, no kidding. The melody you did in the buildup was great too.
The intro was excellent, since if you started it with just piano only, it wouldn't have been as smooth as this. It had a really nice-sounding effect to it too. As for the ending, it was amazing as well, with a good drum roll to give the ending that importance it needed, but if I were to go through this song, the only thing I would change would be the loudness of that drum roll. It just felt a little too quiet and needs more importance than all the other drums. Other than that, this song qualifies for perfection.
The drums, as usual, are very varied, and fit really well with the song, and had OK samples. The reverbed kick and the snare were my favourites from all the samples. The buildups on the drums were superb as well, and the drum beats were excellent. In general, the drums were pretty quiet, but I think that if you made them any louder, they'd start to become annoying and interfere with the song, so you should keep them just as loud as they are now.
I don't really need to summarize what I said in this review, the only word you need for a summary of this song is 'Flawless'. You honestly never stop to amaze. It's impossible for you to ever submit a song which I give less than a 5/5 in, and which doesn't deserve top rankings here on Newgrounds. IMO, you're the best artist ever to enter NG, keep up the great work, you're not an expert at making music, you're THE expert. Amazing job!! Phew... long review O_o. 892 characters left, hehe :D
