[@pugbutter][color=bdbdbd]Intriguing enough start to the point where I think I slid a little closer to my PC in anticipation. Then of course I got hit in the face with music that was heavier than I expected. Like a metal bat to the face. The most horrific part of this experience is the fact that this genre of music sits outside my typical spectrum and because of that most of it sounds the same and I can't give it the rating it deserves.

So, this is how my rating unfolds. We start at [color=DBA901]5[/color]. Some music in this genre [i]is[/i] amazing. It resonates with me in a way that's hard to explain and that's where this songs starts with the soft thirty second introduction up to about a minute and a half. At this point it becomes much of the same of what I've come to expect and doesn't change much from there. There were a few solo's sprinkled in here and there but they lacked inspiration. [color=DBA901]4[/color]. The lyrics themselves? A+. It's your typical "stand together no matter what" scenario and it fits well with this type of music. [color=DBA901]5[/color]. The deliver of the lyrics is where I felt it faltered. Again this isn't my genre so maybe I don't have the trained ear but I think I've heard better examples before. [color=DBA901]4[/color]. Of course I have to give back one point because the singer isn't that bad at all and there are times when he manages to pull me back in with his voice alone. So we come to a final score of [color=DBA901]5/10[/color].

Sorry. Didn't move much and I promise it's not because the song isn't good. It's just my ears hired this bouncer a long time ago when I was young and I was listening to whatever. He's been trained a little too well. Should probably fire him but then my ears would bleed.
