They come in just when they're supposed to, and they hit hard, fading away again as quickly as they came.
I think what a lot of people are missing is that they become the center peice of the song when the drums are playing. Just like the piano or violin in any other section of the song, the drums are important, and should be just as loud as, and in some spots, louder, than the other instruments.

Wait, so the guy belives that since it's the same title that it should be the exact same thing as Slip Knot? Bad news, kiddo. SK isn't even that good. Don't judge one song's applicability to the portal simply by the title name not being the same as another band's song.
Anyway.
While the song and lyrics are quite in line with the rest of your music (I.E. amazing) I would have liked to have had the vocals a little louder and the background guitar a little softer. You're borrowing Mr. Sandford's gifted talents, may as well show them through.
Otherwise, no complaints.
On the upside, your background compilation sounds great, mixing well through the entire song. And again, Alex does an amazing job of showing what a very talented young (maybe young?) man can do for a song in tying it together. In my opinion, use him more often. (No offense) I quite like him a bit more than the current lead singeer of the songs you've posted that do not feature him.
Thanks for the music and your time. ^^

Yeah, it's pretty amazing how a quick
assumption can lead to such bias, but he
did give me a 6/10, so he wasn't a complete ass. ;)
I'm glad you liked the song (and the rest of my material... strong words btw. Thanks!).
Also, you're right, the vocals should have been a bit louder,
but I didn't have any choice in the matter, since Alex added the vocals
on his own, and only gave me the finished file (not the master tracks).
Alex and me are both performers, not producers, so our mixing/mastering
skills are sorely lacking, I'm afraid. >_<
Yes, Alex is quite young.
In fact, I think he was only 16 or 17 when he did this song.
He has amazing potential, and incredible talent.
I'd love to use him more often, but as teenagers most,
he has alot of other things going on in his life,
and I don't wanna keep him away from any of it.
Thank you for the time and input.

It's a shame you've consigned yourself to not finishing this song. It's absolutely amazing. I'd bet money that most would agree this is your best song to day. (Depending on taste of opnion, I'm sure.) Either way. The transition into and out of synth and keys is perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way. If you finish this, I promise to give you a hug and not sleep with your sister... <Shifty eyes>
