Ai gave you a gal with left and right hands on the wrong arms for the song pic. Ha! WOW, Janne. This is really cool. I love the jerky feel, and you picked the perfect synth vocalists. Dang, this is good. Gotta listen again. Love those lyrics, Very creative, and all listeners could surely think of someone to sing them to. I really enjoy the dynamics you encorporate into this killer song. Great instrumentation and mastering that difficult mix. Thanks Marty for your heartwarming comment and WOW Ha, good catch with the picture, I didn't notice that, but you wouldn't fall for a hoax, no weasel can fool you  Janne

Janne, this sound otherworldly and very cool. Very operatic in a rockin' way. Those vocals are WILD and quite good. I can see how some of these tools can help reach a "next level" of song realization, but...you've really got the compositional skills to frame them in a unique, interesting and musical way. Well done. I could not said this any better than Ron did (which is often the case)... AMAZING used of BIAB!!! Kudos. Killer Hard Rock sound. (And those vocals work!) Awesome drums sound. Excellent mix. This is Really well done. Your Production skills are on full display. Bravo. fj

Hi Janne.
This is an incredible arrangement and production.
You've really pulled out all stops with this song.
The music is incredible to listen to.
And once again, your prowess with lyrics impresses me.
Really fine work!
--Noel
P.S. We don't have weasels in Australia, and I've never seen one other than on videos. I consider myself lucky that I got to listen to your song before I ever encountered such a devious beast in real life.

Interesting inspiration for your song--original! The male lead vocal rocks hard and is so excellent. I love the chugging rhythm. Nice work! Thanks for your pleasant feedback, means a lot to me, especially when coming from one of the few hard rock voices on this forum. Janne

BIG sound. The aggro vocal doesn't work in the verses for me. Fine in the choruses though. The High female vocals sound more like The Darkness than Queen.
Sounds like you're writing a popmetalesque opera.
Well done.
Cheers

Love the album cover.
The new vocalist (Hxvoc) worked perfectly and we could almost see him strutting across the stage
Also, the BiaB crew were truly rocking out.
We were picturing Dave Grohl thrashing away on the drums.
Clever lyric and a great mix.
Rock on!
J&B Thanks Janice & Bud for your lovely review BIAB crew knows how to rock hard, thanks to PGMusic for that! Janne

Well done. Thanks Ray for your nice comment This was my first real try with HXVOC so I agree that I might have gotten too excited and turned his aggressive vocal mode knob too much. "popmetalesque opera" - I love that description Janne

What a production! Love the RT instruments you've assembled here, but I really want to single out that piano. Nice to see that metal track get some use, too. The synth vox are excellent, perfect here. Lyrics are primo, too. Great work, Janne!

Unique, edgy, bold, seminal. This a a track that instantly grabs the attention of the listener (even when that listener might prefer to listen to something more soothing) and doesn't let go until the last beat has faded into the abyss. Amazing.

Cool changeup Janne. Excellent rocker. Vocal was amazing. Blows my mind how you can create the grit and drive in these vocals. Backtrack was excellent as well.

Thanks Scott for your kind feedback Glad you liked the vocal, increasing the grit in Synth V vocals is as easy as dragging a slider up. Thanks also for nicely commenting my earlier track "The Bottle of Solace". Janne
