Cool! Thanks... I always look forward to your comments.

Here you go -

1. The Pros

I really like it. There's a nice build-up from intro to verse to
chorus.Musically, it goes somewhere. The chorus really grew on me. At
first the melody didn't grab me, but after the 2nd time through, I
was hooked. The spoken intro reminds me a little of Alice Cooper (say
what you will, but I like him). I hear the resemblance to Queensryche
that others have mentioned, and maybe a little King's X influence?
But in the end, it stands on its own as an original. Great vocals,
great guitar work, great writing.

Thanks, Rich. Some very kind words in there.

Kings X influence? I doubt it... I've heard VERY little of them. But,
there could be some Alice in there. Big fan myself. :-)

2. The Cons

As others have said, the spoken part at the beginning gets buried a
little.

I'll bringing those up in new mix tonight. The consensus is in. :)

The guitars are maybe a little too processed at times.

Yeah, I hear ya. I'm using a different patch on my GT-6 than normal when
I use the Schecter 7 string. It's called 'metal zone'. I mix that with
my normal 'tube stack' patch and blend them left and right. Some times
it does sound a bit to processed.

At one point, I *THOUGHT* I heard the weird "phone ringing" harmonic
phenomenon that happened in one of your earlier songs, but I backed
up and couldn't hear it. Maybe it's my PC speakers.

Argh! Not that again. :-) Let's hope it was a one time anomaly.

Thanks for your time and comments!

While you are in there tweaking... check the bass track. Specifcally
remove the high end hiss. Pretty sure that is the source.

Yeah? You think? I'll check it out. I have the session queued up at
home. I should have some time over lunch today. I'll see if I can clean
that up, if it needs it.
