Track is actually pretty decent, as long as you like power metal.

I feel this is a step in the right direction for Jacky. Nothing great or original, but it's fine. Still better than the new Black Tide ;)

Sounds very... power metal-y, I guess. Not bad though.

Hmm, I guess it works fine for his preferred style of playing.

He should be playing power metal. His solos sounded like it.

It might bring a new demographic of listeners into the genre which would be healthy for it.

There's a lot of City of Evil era Avenged Sevenfold going on in the guitar playing.

Not sure about this, but I've never been that into power metal. The guitar section is certainly more entertaining here for sure.

"Sounds very... power metal-y, I guess. Not bad though."

I don't know and I may be going out on a limb here, but it might be that it's a power metal band. Just a guess, though.

Better than FiR that's for sure.

Not good by any means though, the synths and vocalist in particular are garbage.

Ok I actually listened to it now. It has some parts that are at best run of the mill mediocre power metal, which I am always down for, but the parts with the EDM beat and shitty pseudo-harsh vocals absolutely kill this song.
I will probably check out the album in hopes the rest of it is like the generic power metal in the other parts of the track.

This track definitely has some awkward parts, like those EDM pre-choruses, but I do think there is some potential here.
