I love the very beginning.

The very very beginning.

The drum intro.

I think it's quite bad. Every song just went downward after "Creeping in my soul", not counting the licensed songs. The vocals are almost monotonic, the instrumentals are okay, but goodness, it's all metal. It does not feel BIONICLE. And the instrumentals and vocals don't go together. At all.

Don't worry, Zip bashes everything.

No, I just have different views of things. Different is good.

@Bunda: Creeping in my soul was good, ethereal, and different. The overusing of hard rock is cliche in many themes. And the rapping wasn't excessive.

Edit @ Zip: Are you saying you LIKED CIMS? Man, that song was awful. Some bizarre almost-rapping in there too...

Qft and stuff.

Yeah, it does a good job leading into the song.

What is metal? What is BIONICLE?

As for the quality of vocals, it's a matter of taste. How do they not go together with the instrumentals? Maybe I am just a newbie when it comes to music...

Isn't that just a Bionicle song?

I never said it was anything other than a Bionicle song.

Creeping in My Soul was weird, jarring and nauseating. To me, that is.

Different is different. Yes, CIMS has good parts. But, "I hope you will be -- creeping in my soul?" For me, there's too much non sequitur weirdness, I can't follow any kind of logic. And what's with "feeding off the spine?" Whose spine? Mine? Ugh.

What does QFT mean?

Never mind, I just Googled it. "Quoted for Truth." Learn something new every day.

I haven't heard any of the Bionicle songs in a while...but I downloaded it because of this blog post. I enjoyed it...not quite my favorite song ever, but not bad either. I still think my favorite was that first one(Hero?).

I love this song too. The opening reminds me of a tropical island, like Mata Nui, so of course from that point it totally works for Bionicle. Especially the Nuva. Starting out on the paradise of Mata Nui, then they go off to battle in Karda Nui...

And then the rest of the song just sweeps you up and carries you away and makes great battle music, perfect for the Phantoka... awesome guitars and drums indeed.

I'm still not that fond of the singer's voice, but I've gotten so used to it that I don't mind it at all now. I'd still love an instrumental version, though, since I love the ... there's a term for this ... non-vocal stuff. I've been asking Bink to put one up, but he hasn't.
