“First off, that’s been done a hundred times and knowing that Jon Simmons, the frontman, is so against ‘selling out’ and is, frankly, a bit full of himself for it, it’s pretty hypocritical. Also, it’s just plain and boring. Simple can be effective, but not in this case. “
“The band had no stage presence, Simmons was a little bit of a mess, and there was no real passion. It’s like they had big-rockstar mentality, when they don’t have the luxury to at all.”
The band had mentioned Jon Simmons doing less screamy/yelly vocals and heading more towards singing, which is very much evident in this tune. His voice seems better than before and this song is right in his range. The gravelly feel of some of the song is great and keeps the edge that the band uses to differentiate themselves from the rest.
