The vocal melody wasn't anything special, the guitars were pretty boring, and the drums patterns were uninvented. However, I realized the song construction was almost identical to a band that I have grown to love in recent years. I realized that if they put a drum machine to it and added a couple synthesizers I would probably love it. I guess that would be a good example on how remixes can bring the same song to a different audience. One of my favorite examples is the Fatboy Slim remix of Dave Matthews Band - Crash. The original song was pretty boring (I didn't really like it), but when you chop and layer the drums it becomes something more interesting. Anyhow, great work on the remix. I love it.

I liked the drums and that one higher pitched synth that comes in occasionally - A real Radiohead-esque OK Computer type path - nice. I like that one tom drum with the delay that comes at the end of the pattern. ah - that arrpegiation is cool too. Nice panning on the drums its dope man nice work - i like it better than the original The remix is dope.
