[Helm]

You know what you are - well orchestrated, methodically fuzzy, devoid of any real feeling, formulaic. It's a miracle that when it's so transparent that there's not a single real emotion behind it, it's still interesting to listen to. The quiet middle part is great. The constant drumbeat is nice to listen to. I don't like the guy's voice, and I like it even less when he's 'screaming'. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when singers scream, you can tell on the spot if it's rehearsed, calculated and without feeling. This is it.
