Press Reviews
GARAGEBAND.COM on Quagmire: Well, this is bizarre, this is like Freddie Mercury ganging up with some 16 year old kid who only wants to crank up the distortion on his guitar and rock out..and somewhere in here there's a middle section that defies description, but I'll try - singing around the woodshop. No, I don't know what to make of this, the vocalist is really REALLY good, but he should be, he's Freddie Mercury, and I admit the song had strong pop hooks. . .

This is the kind of song I could hear several times on the radio without going "oh no, not again!" No seriously, I really enjoyed it. Extra Credit: Male Vocals, Lyrics
He's got this "natural octaver" (like Siouxie or Tanya Donelli - quite rare in male vocals actually) that gives an edgy texture to the vocals... I love it. - Syra

ON Rolling Stone Show:Kicks Ass!
Nice work! The vocalist sounds like he's pushing his limits in parts but I like the outcome. I really dig the sustained vocal note on the "here with you" part Good work!! - Rythefly
Vancouver, Province Of British Columbia, Canada There are a lot of nice things going on in this track. The vocals are pristine, delivered with good "RAWK" attitude. The harmonies and AM radio aesthetic are very nice. The performances are top notch; the guitars are hot, the rhythm track stellar. Nice track.

Reviewed by: Rageur from Columbus, Ohio Great song and great harmonies. It's about time...good guitar work. Like the touch on the guitar in the background. Overall a great tune. What else can I say. Has some interesting changes . . . listening to this song over this computer, doesn't do it justice and I sure wouldn't want to make a mistake on a masterpiece like this.
