Bad first impressions but still edible
Okay, until 0:30 the song was confusing and it caused me stop the player. Then I looked at the reviews, which were mostly 9-10 points, and raged. I wanted to give my own review. That meant I should really listen to it through at least once before ranting.
If it wasn't for that, I would never have listened to this song whole. Not that it was any remarkable experience or event in my life anyway. Like said, the intro is confusing and I found it almost offensive for the original tune (is sounded a little bit off tune). But as the song proceeded, I either got numb of it or it started to sound okay. I guess it's the latter. What makes the first impression so bad then? The intro sounds like too crammed, too much stuff in it.
All in all, a bit dry and soulless song, faithful to the MGS1 theme song.
However I appreciate it that you went and tried, and hope that you can find some ideas from this review :)
