It (also)has a little bit of Guns in it" -"...Nice groove rock song, sounding a little nineties, kinda EMF" - "The vocal has a good quality to it, and goes for the Layne Staley off notes at times" -"Eastern RHCP"
"my chemical romance, the killers..."

forgot to add this, mostly cuz I didn't hear this song yet. DSM is by far my favorite, flows great and its epic, my 2 favorite things about music. More epic = better. I also like chill stuff too... but its still epic, epic chill.. I'm rambling on now.

I think the main reason I like DSM the most is because the vocals AND the music flow together nicely and smoothly, plus very good instrumental and beat. Stuff that makes me like a song less is when these things don't flow... don't take anything I say too seriously tho, I'm just a random listener, I don't even write my own music, I just listen. I like what I like XD. But yea, DSM is cool, me likes.
