I want to cry. This is an amazing song, another redshirt masterpeice anyone might think. however for once i have some things to pick at in this track, but again its not much. I'll as usual start with the negatives, the intro to my ears is to repetitive, could just be the mood im in but, really is to much for me, it also echos the same repitieve nature through the entire song, which im not to keen on. The other thing would have to be the guitar sound that comes in just before the vocals, im really not sure on it, personally i would lvoe to hear it replaced with somthing with a more real feel about it.

Anyway thats the bad points over with, On with the good, when the main beat comes in, as usual with redshirt us mere musicians are left standing here wanting to quit, simple but yet powerful, and they lead into the vocals perfectly, however with that annoying guitar sound, but hey the vocals are so spot on when they come on it dosn't matter any more, its a god damm masterpeice. The vocal effects are really top grade as well, well placed and all works very well as a whole peice. Theres two parts to the vocals in this song, a female singer and a male one, the male one is a kind of droning sound which im actually very fond of, reminds me of a "im wicked and im lazy" style of vocal which personally I think is great, and the femal vocals just top it off with some nice background ambience style singing.

In the third verse we really see it all starting to come tougther for the final chorus, and what a build up, the end chorus i dont think i wanted to stop! truely inspiring and very powerful, a floor filler for sure.

Final Thoughts:

This track has some great elements in it, and some i would be keen to see go, like the repeating sounds at the start and the cheap guitar sound, but when it all comes tougther as a whole track in teh chorus with the vocals, it transforms into an absolute master peice. The Redshirt does it again.
