"This song alternates between a neo indie prog sound to hard core complete with sceam/growl vocals.
Guitars are heavy in an Opeth kind of way. Love the fast strum note fade out at the end.
Vocalist is very capable.
I usually like my prog with a more retro sound but in it's class this song is excellent and very well performed by good musicians."

"Pretty fast 8:19.
Story of the Year meets Tool maybe. I think your performance is excellent. Lot's of progressive ideas here, great drumming which really helps to carry the tune. I like the off color notes and unusual rhythms used for the instrumental breakdowns. singer does a nice job of switching between screaming and using his voice in a melodic fashion. Great bass work. This is an excellent song for the genre. Nice job of building tension throughout."

"Decent tune.
Quite long, but kept me entertained. Singing had a pro sound to it. Guitar work had some cool sounds going on. Band seems tight enough and offered some mood changes throughout. Kind of a tool influence but with overtones of more traditional prog rock styles. A good song overall, I can see people getting behind this band and supporting them.'

" "Radiophonized" vocals in the beginning of the line remind me Maynard Keenan. The global Tool atmosphere disappears when the singer starts growling, but returns suddenly in the chorus line. This is a song halfway between rock and metal... (the) musicians show their talent moving from a riff/loop to another very easily. Great 'calm' part starting at minute 4:48, Intense lyrics."

"...a twist between Tool, Deftones and Sikth makes the song and the band stand out.
The Tool stuff creates a good mood in the song and the heavier Sikth elements makes it progessive and even more interesting.
The bonus with the band that stand(s) out from other bands is that 6 minutes of this song sounds like 6 minutes, and not 60. ...a sign that the song is good and catches my attention.
This song is definetely one I could be interested in listening more to and buying..!"

"How To Fill Up Eight Minutes And Win!
This rock solid prog track takes its time but keeps you hooked. ...8 minutes is a solid length for this genre. And this band fills it up without resorting to meandering instrumental passages. Its weight is warranted.
Overall this is a solid example of what's going on and what's Gone On in prog-influenced circles. "
