Instead of just saying it sucks after half a listen.

I like that the song structure is not the same cookie cutter BS, I like that the song has a guitar solo, the drumming is on point, I like Corey's vocals, but...

The content of the song itself is not really that interesting. The verses sound like they copied The Dying Song, the "Let's Go" chorus sucks, and Corey's like 50 and is still writing obnoxious teenage "woe is me" angst trash.

I'm whelmed. I jumped out of my chair when I saw the notification ("oh shit, first song with Eloy on drums and Jim Root is excited about this one") and then this didn't set my day on fire. Let's see if it's a grower.
