You would have won the competition...
I've noticed that there's been a really rapid improvement from your old songs. From when I used to say 'ugh glitch again??' to you, now I say 'yay, glitch again!'. Superb job on this one, it's among one of your best, and I really enjoyed it. Also, why the heck did you decide to become a judge for the competition?! You would've been $50 richer if you had been a participant...
The melodies in this, as usual, are beautifully done. I don't really have much to say about the melodies, they were as good as they normally are, and obviously that means that they're amazing. I especially liked the progression of the melodies in this one. Also, as RogerBK said, the fact that you have slower and faster parts works extremely well in this song. Both were extremely cool, so I can't complain about them either. 1:57 might probably be my favourite part from the whole song, it was so hectic :D. Harmonization was spot on, too. Melodies and stuff were truly perfect, I'm trying so hard to find something wrong with them, but you just want to be Mr.Perfect, don't you >:(.
The instruments were also great. Loved the sound of that piano, and the pads in the background, although quiet, filled the background out really nicely. Hey man, would you mind sending me a PM with where you get such spectacular pads? I was going to PM you asking you ages ago, but I kept procrastinating and now I'm taking this as an opportunity to ask you :D. Sorry for being annoying :/. Anyway, pads on the whole were great, and so was the piano. The glitch effects, as usual, are just wow. Maybe you could have a few more stutters, but other than that, the glitch effects were pristine.
As for the vocal sample, on the whole it sounded fine, but there's something about it which sounds artificial. The first part of the first syllable sounds weird, maybe it's a result of the pitch shifting that you did. Not to doubt your godly pitch shifting skills (lol), but I think that you should try and sing that octave (don't be lazy xD) instead of pitch shift, since the first part of the word sounds weird and artificial, at least in my opinion.
Regarding the transitions, I must say that I'm very impressed. The only transition which might need some work would be the one at 1:54. I think the transition to the vocal sample just sounds slightly weird. A little abrupt or sudden. Still, on the other hand, all the other transitions were great, and buildups, such as the drum buildup at the beginning, were just extraordinary. Basically, the only transition I didn't like was the one at 1:54, because the rest were great. Good job.
The structure was amazing. All the new sections that entered the song really left me amazed, but the song didn't sound weird or random. The variety was also excellent. You really know how to vary songs properly, and this never gets boring or repetitive. When it comes to the intro, I was also extremely impressed. A very good way to start the song up, and a great transition and buildup to the hectic part at 0:57. The ending was also really nice. The worst part of your songs is that they're so good I have to try really hard to find something wrong with them xD.
The drums are just so cool. You had an amazing variety of different percussive sounds, and the glitching you did on them works very well. Weird part is that the drums are so crazy and all over the place yet you don't really lose track of the rhythm of the song. TL;DR: DRUMS WERE AMAZING.
I'm really amazed by this piece. As usual, you don't fail to leave the listener begging for more. Atmosphere was brilliant, melody was awesome, buildups were well executed, structure and variety were fantastic, instruments were spectacular, transitions were smooth, the intro/outro were flawless and the drums... too awesome for words xD. Just work on that vocal sample a little; while I don't want you to remove it, I think you should remove the artificial sound of the vocal sample at the beginning and work a little more on the transition. Keep up the outstanding work.
