Chris' vocal is excellent, of course, and I especially like when she lets loose in verse three.
Guitar solo fits the mood of the lyrics--a very ominous sound.
Production is ace and I like that I can pick out Marty's bass work.
A message to be heeded!

This song strongly reminds me of some symphonic metal bands with a female singer like Nightwish, Within Temptation and Evanescence, but IMO Blue Attitude has created its own style called symphonic blues.

Great solemn ballad with powerful development. Excellent vocal, Chris at her best, great dynamics and those backing vocal parts are gorgeous. The guitar solo is a living proof that man has reshaped the world also in a beautiful and harmonic way. And yes, Marty's bass is classic.

Powerful painting of Earth and its creatures, although in the beginning, in addition to peace and harmony, I assume there were also fierce volcanos and dinosaurs wink From "Then came man" to "The song grew fainter, slipping away like sand." sad decline, but I would like to add "but then came Blue Attitude" smile

And an excellent video that really speaks to me, all those elements combined into a beautiful art that works both alone and with the song. Now I feel that I have to shelf my song with a similar subject, because there is no more need for it...

Congratulations, your hard work has really created another masterpiece.

Excellent song, arrangement, performance, production & mix.
Yes, Marty's playing is sensitive to the song, dynamics and theme...OF COURSE!
You folk did a FABULOUS job.

Really Awesome - Genesis made into Musical -- I think you have the start of Biblical Rock Opera. I like how it builds both lyrically and musically. Great Lyrics (I guess you had a good co-writer ... God smile
Very Nice work ... both song and video

Great choice Dave with those pianos and your guitar is smokin' hot again!
Marty you are kind of out of the spotlight here, but I know that doesn't bother you, you do such fine work making the cake (bass work) while Dave and Chris provide the icing!
Speaking of Chris, she is an absolute pro! What an awesome vocal

I'm proud to know you guys, keep up the good work! TB

Wow, you just made my day with that, Torrey! I'll make sure to pass along your comments to Chris also. Thanks! smile

Toontrack really improved the sound of the percussion with EZDrummer3 in my opinion, much more realistic than it used to be.

Thanks, Ron!

Very good stuff here. A lot of folks describe it as epic, and I have to second it. I especially loved Marty's bass lines, and you have such a great feel for what guitar lick should go in and where it should go in, and such a great tone. This one was great.

Yep, Chris nailed the vocal, and Marty always comes through on the bass.

Thanks, Floyd!

Chris, Dave, and Marty,

Operatic Rock at its best! All I can think to say is, "This is simply fabulous in all respects!"

Strong, bold, powerful and wonderful arrangement and delivery. Impressive!
