Time for a new feature on Starry Eyes wherein I send out tracks to friends, rivals, nemeses, etc. for a brief review; for lack of originality let's just call it Guest Shots.
The initial installment is courtesy of one JDM, an admittedly "pro-gunshot" medieval historian who is much, much better at Guitar Hero than you are. The track is a club remix of GOB's own theme music by NYC bass don Drop the Lime.
Drop the Lime - The Final Crackdown
Quoth the JDM:
"Like any good remix, The Final Crackdown does an effective job of lifting the the signature bits of the original song and blending them together with a new structure, some extra bells and whistles (or gunshot sounds) and producing something 50% new, 75% old, and 110% pure octane! Unfortunately for this reviewer, there was at least 50% too much octane - any good astronaut story needs some emotional grounding. They may be leaving together, but still it's farewell. Or something. Let's be honest, The Final Countdown wasn't the subtlest song to begin with. And while Crackdown distills and elaborates on the peaks of Countdown, turning a 2-note song into a 1- or 1.5-note song doesn't end up doing it for me. It needs something more. Is there a sound effect for big hair?"
