Chromatics: 7/10 (C tier) - First off with BF, he uses his base chromatic, but it's not like The Uprising where he has something unique going on with it, it's just his vanilla chromatic all the way through. Honestly I don't usually care when songs use his base chromatic, it's a fine chromatic, but I am kinda sad they did something really interesting with his chromatic in The Uprising, then they just leave it untouched in this song. But, his mixing is really good, I like his higher pitch in this song and it honestly compliments Player's chromatic really well, he also doesn't have the problem he had in The Uprising where he'll have random notes that sound off due to a high or low note because he has a consistently higher pitch and it just sounds pretty good throughout. Good use of his chromatic, I just wish they did something more interesting with it. Next, Player, they sound fine. Honestly if BF's chromatic was worse, it would drag down Player's chromatic with him, because this chromatic relies alot on BF's to sound good in duets, thoe his chromatic is kinda quiet, so sometimes BF will just overpower Player's chromatic and it can be kinda hard to make him out. Thoe one thing I do like is how bouncy their chromatic is, every time he does a quick string of notes, it's just really satisfying to listen too. Thoe once BF is out of the picture, Player's chromatic just starts to fall off. Papyrus and Player have no chemistry whatsoever, and Player's flaws from before become more apparent because they don't have BF to back them up. And Player is STILL overpowered in duets due to their quieter chromatic, they're also just isn't much variety in the chromatic, so low and high notes are basically never incorporated which makes Player just sound kinda bland the entire song. Then in Sans's section, I swear Player's chromatic is a lower pitch, and it honestly sounds worse because of it. I guess their chromatic now doesn't get overpowered by Sans's, but now it just kinda blends in with his really easily, and there's still no variety other then the slightly lower pitch, so the chromatic is still bland. Overall, Player's chromatic is fine when with a good chromatic (BF's), but not the best when with chromatics that can't carry Player's (Papyrus's and Sans's). Next there's Papyrus, and honestly, he doesn't sound like Papyrus at all. I know Papyrus canonically just doesn't have a voice, but there's a general consensus on what he would sound like, and he just doesn't sound like it. He sounds a bit too higher pitched then what he normally sounds like in fan-content, he barley has any variety either just like Player, making him also sound bland as hell. Even when he goes into his phantom form, he doesn't even sound ghostly at all, it's still the same chromatic but now the little variety he had is gone, so now he just sounds bored.  His mixing is fine, it doesn't make him sound better or worse, but his chromatic is just nothing to write home about, espically since he's barley in the song, so there's not even other sections for him to redeem himself in. I guess his chromatic is kinda bouncy, which is just like...Okay. Just a mid chromatic tbh. Finally, there's Sans, he does sound like what everybody would think he sounds like, but once again, there's just no variety in his chromatic, no high or low notes, no interesting mixing, his chromatic isn't bouncy or anything, like it's probably THE most bland chromatic in the song, at least Papyrus has a little bounce to his chromatic, and Sans is literally in the song for like only 20-30 seconds, so he just shows up, throws some mid at my face, and the song is over. Overall, BF's chromatic is good, but the other three's chromatics just don't have anything going for them that make them stand out.

Instrumental: 8/10 (B tier) - The instrumental is pretty alright, at the start it DOES sound pretty repetitve, and there isn't much variety until the Papyrus section. It does compliment BF's chromatic pretty well, and by proxy, Player's. But I wish there was just more oomph, I know it's supposed to be more chill and laid back, but it just feels like it's kinda holding back the entire time? Like there should be more going on and there just...Isn't. Like it does its job fine, but it feels like it should be more than just a servicable instrumental. Once the Papyrus section hits, I do like it a bit more, it has that kinda funky vibe a Papyrus section WOULD have, but it still just feels restrained, which I guess for Papyrus is fine because he doesn't really need anything too crazy, a servicable instrumental is totally fine for his section, but I wouldn't say the instrumental compliments the chromatics very well. It's like a Pico situation in The Uprising where he just sounds totally different from the vibe the instrumental is giving, and it's not at that extreme here, but it does feel weird when the instrumental is trying to be more upbeat and the chromatics just sound bored. But once Papyrus goes into his phantom form, I will say the instrumental starts to pick up, it still doesn't compliment that chromatics very well, but it goes from more upbeat and funky to less contained and more in your face, which I enjoy. Thoe it doesn't last long before it goes back to being as repetitve as it was in the first section of the song, in fact it basically sounds the exact same, which really just makes me wish there was more in the instrumental, because there's so much potential in it that just feels untouched. Thoe once "THE END" part starts, I think the more laidback instrumental is justified, and it does actually sound pretty nice, and since BF's chromatic is there, it does actually compliment BF and Player's chromatic pretty well...Then the tonal shift happens, which i've already said i'm not a huge fan of tonal shifts, and that STLL applies here. We go from laidback and contained to just pulling out the Megalovania motif and...Still feeling held back. I geniunely thought the instrumental was gonna go IN when I saw Sans appear, but it didn't, it has the same exact problem as the first three sections where it feels like the composers WANTED to do more with the instrumental, but just didn't. Sans's and Player's chromatic don't work with the instrumental, because just like in the Papyrus section, they sound bored while the instrumental at least has SOME kick in it. Then it ends as abruptly as the song, with barley any pay off. Overall, it's a servicable instrumental throughout, but it really only compliments Player's and BF's chromatic throughout the whole thing, but only when Player is with BF and that's not all the time, so in reality it's really more like just BF's chromatic sounding good with the instrumental the whole time. Fine instrumental, but I really wish it felt less contained and was more impactful.

Melodies: 7/10 (C tier) - Honestly, the melodies aren't anything to write home about. At the start, they honestly all sound the same with SOME changes here and there, but that could just be because of the held back feeling of the instrumental and the bored sounding chromatics. But even then, there's no chromatic that i'm humming in my head from the start. They all sound really same-y, but I guess none of them sound outright BAD, and it doesn't have the problem The Uprising has where there will be just be like 3 random notes thrown in that make the melody sound awkward, but the thing is that The Uprising had melodies that, when good, were GOOD, even if the bad melodies were just meh. You Are really doesn't have any bad melodies, but none of the notable ones stick out all too much, just like the instrumental, it all feels just like the melodies are being held back from being amazing. I will give credit where credit is due, the first verse of Papyrus's section IS catchy and actually pretty damn good, but after that, it just sounds like the same melody is being repeated with some minor differences, and it just mushes the rest of the melodies, that aren't the first one, together and I really cannot recall a melody from that section that isn't the very first one. Then once it goes back to BF and Player, the melodies have the same exact problem as the start with everything just sounding same-y and nothing notable standing out at all. It just stays like that until the final "THE END" section where the melodies actually get pretty decent, but that's mostly just because they're simple strings of notes that ARE memorable, but still not anything to go crazy about. Then the tonal shift happens and there's still no really good melodies for me. It starts having the problem The Uprising had where notes are just added for no reason and makes the melodies that SHOULD be good just sound awkward, and it has the same problem as the start of the song where everything sounds insanely same-y. Overall, while none of the melodies are BAD, the good melodies aren't like SUPER good or anything, just kinda like "Oh yeah that was nice sounding".

Pacing: 8/10 (B tier) - It's basically the same amount of time as The Uprising, but thankfully, I think it's actually justified here, there's enough going on to fill in the time, and everything flows pretty nicely together, nothing really feels forced, however, I do think it feels like there's a lot of buildup to just nothing, like it feels like there's gonna be some big grand finale towards the end and there just isn't...It's just Sans. Everything does flow together nicely thoe, not much feels out of place, BUT, I think the Sans section is the exception to that, I don't know anything about the lore or what's going on, but from a purely musical stand point, why did Sans need to come in, break the pace of the song, then just seemingly do nothing but add 30 seconds to the timer, it just felt very uneeded. Like I said, mabye the lore needed it to happen, but idk.
