The Analog Cub Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've heard a lot of gamified versions of songs and some are good, some are awful. A big part of that is probably because the song isn't written where it would be possible to make it sound good when gamified. However I found this and it is nothing short of fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like a Rush song destroyed or you, . might be looked at as a desecration even though some can argue that the said song isn't a good Rush song to begin with. As for that Circumstance Sega Genesis edition? I think it's awesome! I don't see how one would come to the conclusion that it's disgraceful to the original considering that we're talking about it being translated to a different format as Mr.Not alluded to.

Their Necromancer cover is pretty cool though, bad vocals though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocals are the least importantant element of music for me though, so i still really like DT, even though I don't care for his voice.
