0:00-Nice sounding guitar-riff. Was a little confused when bass came in, but it all fit together in a kinda quirky way. Set the song up as unique.
0:24-Wasn't expecting vocals, but it was a nice surprise (Might be an idea to post the lyrics in the AC, just so people can look through them if they have trouble understanding you).
The way the instruments worked around the vocals was really interesting; the drums kind of took the role a guitar normally would in supporting the vocals; given the vague pitchlessness of the vox, this works really well, especially with the kind of sporadic injections of bass, and later keyboard; they were quite abrupt and unexpected, but fit in with the texture well for it.
The chorus where you go into the more clean vocals was nice and generally in tune; some of the lines felt a little squashed and thus slightly out of time (such as "some sort of correction") but generally was well done.
1:26-Nice keyboard solo; wouldn't have minded it being longer to beef up the variety
1:45-Guitar and vocals clash slightly melodically; sometimes the vocals match the guitar note-for-note, and when it doesn't it gets a little muddy, at least to me and my speakers.
2:07-The slightlyclashy keyboard worked nicely, especially with the light harmonic change; again, wouldn't have minded seeing more of that for variation's sake.

The drums were perhaps the highlight in this, they were definitely thought out well. The lyrics you did have were quite interesting sounding and the delivery was cool in the way you spaced the lines out. Maybe think about varying the track a little more with longer solos or more harmony changes, but in general it's a pretty solid track. Keep it up.

Thanks for the review, it was very well constructed and organized. There are a lot of small things I could change to improve this track, but at the same time it's been so well received... I almost don't know what I can come up with to top this.

And the moral of the story is...

-Of course serious men would ask serious questions. How else would they become so serious? I was quite suprised this had vocals. I was expecting some random serious music but you did so much better.

-The percussion elements of this song were by far the best i've heard for background music. They could of stood alone. I liked the vocalized style of using bursts of words and breaking it apart. I think it sounds really good and much better than if you would of done it all in one long chunk.

-...you'll never understand what those important issues are. They speak in circles and use fancy words to make it sound like they are doing something important.

NeverHundred responds:

Yeah, it's all about taking things too seriously. It's a song about the dangers of intersection and over analyzable. Searching for answers expecting that only good can come from the results. Or speculating about things that can't be answered which results in coming up with your own answers.

Not necessarily a bad thing, humanity has been doing for years.
