Not sure if that question was serious but I'll answer it anyway: It is a track. Not a full song (according to your standards), but it is instrumental music and it was brought forward by one of the members. Expect more intros coming up in the game. Some of them might suit you better, who knows.
If an artist presents it as a singular artistic creation (a track), then I'm fine with that; it's just a little hard to compare it to tracks of a more substantial length. Plus, this opens (or opened) the criteria for inclusion too wide for me. Literally anything could have appeared in this game. Obviously you're fine with that (& it's your game!), but I wouldn't personally have left it that open.
The Hellion is an intro and
won its first battle.
Looking at that topic, again you and mckindog mention the intro aspect. Apparently you guys (and perhaps some others) make your own "set of rules". No prob of course but realize that these are
your "rules" and not mine. As I explained, such tracks do count.
Again, I didn't (as you noticed) vote for it; mainly because I don't really think it counts as a track. Not because I didn't like it. I just think for the purposes of this game you should have been a little stricter with the entry criteria. Having said all this, the chaff will be filtered out in this opening "round" anyway. The strong will go through & later head-to-heads should be quite interesting.
If you find them awesome, might I suggest the following: why not leave out this restriction and see what's left and then compare it with its opponent.
But I find solos "awesome"; this doesn't mean I find an entire track/song awesome. The bigger picture, how a track is constructed & arranged, how it flows, development, how interest in maintained, how sounds are brought back & presented in different forms,
etc etc --none of these "tracks" can possibly be judged on this criteria; criteria that
I'm interested in judging tracks on. It makes comparison, in my view, difficult. They're soundbites to me. I'll not generally be voting for them, but I'll be interested in how far they progress.
In general though, I'm actually trying
not to comment too much at this stage, since I hope to perhaps comment more fully in later rounds; & hope other people give more detailed thoughts on tracks they really like or find interesting too.
