LONG REVIEW'D!
I swear that beginning sounded like the beginning to... *cough* Unleash the Chains ZENON MIX *cough*... Would that be, because of those Clarinet skills I smell?!?! NApolean would kill for those skills!
The snares... meh, alright. I can relate to why you would put them in, but it kind of felt like it was done by a Marching Band. I could of fainted if you put some heart pounding epic drums in there. Would of been nice to hear those, but whats done is done ^.^
Theres no real "thrill" to it. Besdies the Marching Band Snares, the song doesn't really give a Crusade feeling. Felt more of a sorrow ochestrated love sequence... lol. It's still a good piece all in all, but I might of done a few things different, since I have takin' a linking in Ochestrated/Instrumental music... Plus I've been listening to much of Edgen lately. And just by listening to it, I kind of get a feeling you don't liek making this kind of moosic?
5/5 and 8/10 ^.^
