Probably the best thing they’ve done since Gontier left. It’s still butt rock but it’s fun

Some of the vocal processing is really iffy, and the blatant nostalgia bait with that 'Animal I Have Become' wannabe bass/kick intro borders on hilarious, but this is ok.

Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. I'm not really a fan of the band, but I was looking forward to hearing the duality between the vocalists, and on that end the song delivered. I'd like to see them approach a different songwriting attitude, or try something new riff-wise, but clearly that's not going to happen. So, for what this was, it was adequate

The best that Gontier has sounded on a TDG track since Life Starts Now. Matt works his tail off to keep up, sounding just as bitey and expressive despite his more boyish (and decidedly inferior, at least to Adam) vocals

It absolutely beats the pants off anything they've done since Adam left. Beyond excited for what this all-star lineup cooks up

yeah this is kind of goofy but in an endearing way, you can tell they had fun with this one even if its structurally basic as hell. Adam sounds great.

Bands sucked since they first existed. Not expecting much but hoping they stop soon

Pretty nostalgic to hear his voice in the band again, but goddamn the other guy is awful

@Brabiz I think Matt is a good singer, but his vocals are obnoxiously processed.

"We walk like dead people who haven't died yet" oh my this lyric is horrible

Final chorus interplay is quite fun though, song is pretty good in general outside of that abominable lyric

I Hate Everything About Porn Star Dancing…

…just missing the obligatory Chad Kroeger cameo to get peak c*ck-rock nostalgia.

Roll in it, yah filthy b*stards! Revel in the stain upon thy pretentious souls!

this is a fun idea, really wish I felt anything for the other guy’s vocals but Adam legit sounds great. I’ll def have to jam this just for old times sake

I quite like matts voice. Good balance of both vocalists, but Adam’s voices is obviously the better one. Really like the idea of this. I’ll definitely be checking out the new album

Matt's voice was always better suited to the style of My Darkest Days, imo. He's pretty solid on both of the MDD albums.

His biggest problem is when he's trying too hard to emulate Gontier - he just can't pull it off as much as he wants to.

Never been much into TDG outside of their big Adam singles (plus I Am Machine for some reason). They're the equivalent of rock junk food to me: objectively not good, but you can't help but enjoy it all the same

Honestly not even that bad of a song. Butt rock for sure but it's got some fun things going for it

The vocals are very autotuned, I'd have an easier time listening to this junk if it wasn't this bad.

Didn't they say they wanted to create something no band has ever done? Yeeeeeeea

I mean, they're definitely referring to the concept of founding front man returning while replacement stays on when they say "something no band has done", but I'm sure there are *plenty* of other bands who've done that, yes?

I mean yeah that’s what I mean when I say it’s fun but this song would literally be better if it was just Adam lol

and even then it still wouldn’t be good

Helloween has kept all three of their vocalists at this point, so...

Yea, pretty much. It's a weird thing seeing how some bands I liked as a teenager hold up perfectly while other are just hot garbage

well this is super lame. Looks like an 11 year old came up with the music video.

Ironic since it seems like an 11 year old wrote the lyrics as well

Love hearing Adam back with the band, it just sounds right. Other vocalist needs to leave though.
