Have not been much into Godsmack but have liked a handful of songs over the years.  

That said, add this one to my list of likes.....cool tune.

Just listened to this on YouTube after someone posted a topic in the AOR/hard rock forum ... I listened to these guys back in the day but gave up after second album as they were good but not great.

This song though, holy shit its good. Defo moved away from metal to hard rock for this song at least.

Agree.  Dig this tune.

And have been playing the heck out of their When Legends Rise album lately after giving that album a chance recently.  That whole album is some excellent modern melodic hard rock that I never paid any attention to when it came out back in 2018.  I don't remember what my top 10 list looked like back in that year but that album should've been on it.

I'm still struggling with a lot of their older stuff as it just has too much of that angry, modern metal vibe for me.  But their more commercial approach on their recent albums sounds good to me.
