I disagree. I personally think NEXT LEVEL, specially the very first songs commented there, have clearly a video game music influence. I'm a fan of video games and NEXT LEVEL actually called my attention in that same aspect, because I thought some of the songs had a mix of 80's disco club songs + video game influence. It made me even wonder if in Japan, they've been creating a new sound to electronic music by adding video game like music samples and effects. For the example, "rollin' " starts playing a 8-bit console sound (NES) that I'm sure most people who have played that video game noticed that very peculiar sound to that song.

The review is short and a little too personal, but it wasn't that bad imo. NEXT LEVEL does get a bit repetitive on its themes anyways, so I don't think it was really a bad thing that the guy compalined about that.
