Not sure if it's one of your better ones, but it's certainly one of the funnier ones!
I like it!

And by funny I mean the contrast between the dubstep-ish intro, the calm verses and the freakish chorus and breakdowns. And the lyrics!

Ok, no more edits, I'm done. I swear!

Nice bit of genre mixing, and pretty funny to boot.

I can't say it's my favorite (though the reason escapes me), but I did definitely enjoy it.

The chaotic overtones of rapidly switching musical genres seemed to work quite well, given the song, and the base material.

Not my type of music, but it sure serves well as a tribute to the game. Great work there.

Another great song from miracle really like the way he is not scared of trying rather experimental ideas.This one came off very well and really captures the dead island theme.

Struggled to figure out what was being roared on the second line of the chorus.

Yay!!! I love it when artists I like try to do weird funny things with their music. It doesn't strike me as deeply as, say, Little Sister, but this is a super fun song, though maybe a little too reference heavy in the lyrics (some other songs could work outside of knowing what the game is about).

Now this was a great song, love the back and forth between the holiday happy sounds and the zombie panic type noise. Fits the game perfectly! The only thing that was meh for me were some of the lyrics about the weapons. But again just awesome sauce.

Gav, you're quite possibly a maniac and everyone loves you for it.
Great piece once again, however i did find the intro to be somewhat...lacking (i guess?). That's probably just me, though.

wow... nice!~ tropical+Metal=DeadIsland music and plus the house/trance intro goodness! it's like the entire Dead island packed in one song! (should have done a little bit of churchy music somewhere in the middle, because act 2 was quite long...)

Heh, my face changed expressions a lot when listening to this! From "Are you serious?" to "LOL!" to "This guy is fucking insane" to "I love this song" and back to "LOL!" again. So yeah, quite a varied song :D
First, the dubstep-ish part. Then the happy part. And then... the not so happy part.
This would have easily been in my top 3 or 5 of MoS songs, but i really don't like the heavier parts. They made the song funnier, and that's good... but i don't want to listen to the song as many times over and over as i would if there wouldn't had been such a part in it.
But nonetheless, it was a great song. Awesome work, Gavin!

Wasn't sure what to expect from this going in but hot damn that was funny. How did you get those vox effects in the chorus?
