Pretty good. Not amazing, but I loved the breakdown and the guitar solo was fierce, if a bit short. 

[Tabe]

I like the song, good stuff.  The breakdown/solo are definitely the highlight.

^^^^ this.

love the band 

[AlphaMale]

Very solid tune. Great band. 

[Eric3]

It's predictable but not bad at all. I can dig it.

[Captain Holly]

It's not bad, definitely better than anything on their last album. Lars could sing the phone book and still sound great. The vocals and the solo are the high points in this one. I think Lars did his best and had the best chemistry with WOA, in the Lionville videos I just get the feeling he is more of a hired gun and maybe he feels like he does not fit well with the modern Lionville. Maybe it's an Italy-Sweden thing. Who knows. It's not a bad song at all, this one.

Awesome band that can do no wrong in my book. And if you're missing WOA Jez there is always the Debut album from ModX - Pieces Of Modesty to look forward, and going by the first single a released a few weeks back it's going to be a goody.

New lyric video for 'True Believer'.

Love it...

[Eric3]

Lars could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

[Glen]

Great track. love the sax and solo 

[Ponen]

Worth leaving a comment. Love it! 

[Captain Holly]

It's a good song, kind of a Euro-Scandi typical groove on the low end though. I wish Lars was louder in the mix. It almost sounds like they had him limit his range somehow. It's a good song and I need to get used to the fact that Lionville is not WOA, but I still feel Lars has so much more power and potential with his voice, for some reason it's not quite all there on this one. I don't think it is his fault though, I am sure he sang the way the band wrote the song and wanted him to sing it. Looking forward to hearing the rest of this record, hope there are a few more rockers on it.

Never! Because then they've given up. 

[Glen]

is it me or does the production sound rough on this? The last 2 albums sounded amazing but this sounds noticeably worse to me. 

[Glen]

songs are bloody great but it does sound rougher to me, a shame 😕 

The symbol just sounds muffled to me.

[Jez]

It's a good/great album, but doesn't better anything they have released thus far. As Glen mentions, production isn't their best either.

[Eric3]

Listening now. The guest vocal on the first track is a nice surprise
