Why is everyone Being idiots and saying crap like "percussion fail" and things like that? I like to see you conduct something like this being performed for Millions and possibly billions of people. This has to be possibly the most beautiful piece of music and most aggressive yet have the tenderness. So before opening your mouth think, can you write something compared to this or even conduct a orchestra? yeah, possibly not.

@AqeelTank Since when is being able to perform the same task a prerequisite for critiquing the same? Would you bash a movie critic for his poor review of a film because he himself had never directed a major production? Just juvenile, short-sighted logic.

@eysikal u say its cheesy well think bout it u try writing a song with over 10 instruments and then try to talk bout someone else

[eysikal]

This crap is pretty cheesy, actually. Especially the main theme.

@Haeronthegreat

Eb? You mean the C trumpet? It is rather strange that the other two are on Bb horns and the principle dude is on a C horn.

@xXJawruWolfXx Well there are several reasons :D

like for example: I'm a little fascist talking about what can be considered "good" and "bad" music.

or: I like trolling people on the internet - especially those who have no clue what they are actually talking about :) (in this case I should mention: I wrote a seminar paper for mah musicology studies about tan dun and that so called symphony above) and NO. as I am a troll I am definitely not done with it :D you're stupid ^^

[xXJawruWolfXx]

@Simson616 Why are we even arguing over this? I think it's good, you think it's bad. so what? We have two different views on music, So just drop it okay. Im done with it and im pretty sure you are to. so let's just go on with our lives and enjoy what music we THINK is good.
