Reviews for "Sonic 3 - Hydrocity 2 Remix"

Mixed feelings

You spend thirty seconds getting to what sounds like the real start of the song when that's the time you should be spending getting the listener hooked on it in the first place.

And it's a shame you didn't, too, as that opening 30 seconds is just... not appealing. The first thing that one hears is a detuned, wonky pad and then another pad after it, neither of which are remotely necessary. The only reason I got past it was because I got caught up checking reviews wondering how the score was high.

Because of that, I hit the minute marker, where things pick up and something just clicks. All sails well until the 2:30 marker, where the pad returns, by itself, interrupting a rather magnificent flow. One offense was almost forgivable despite it's unfortunate placement, but it seems a bit unwise to go back to the song's weak point, though I will commend that at around 3 minutes it blends the pads together a tad and that works much better. I think those things just weren't meant to play solo.

There's a lot right about this, so it's kinda sad that one thing drags it down so much. The all-out disco/rock bits are pretty awesome, and when you get the song into full swing you do wonders with it. It's just that one thing that drags this down, but it drags it down hard. :/

yeah, sorry man

but in this case you have failed to beat the original with a remix. the huge 30 sec synth breaks kinda screwed it up a little for me.
