The link didn't work, but I've found another one. I like the song musically, nice riffs and drums, but I dislike the vocals... they seem screams recorded during some kind of riot! XD 6,5/10

Theme of the song, really. Just something out of industrial metal.

These guys almost always gets highest score from me. Another great sample of epic retro-hard-rock. Wolfmother are still on a horseback! 10/10.

Melodic metal. I like their sound as it reminds me of The 69 Eyes. Singing is okay but the attention here is on the music. 7.5/10

I can't believe I'm going to write this much after your terse review of my own song...but here goes.
So what I get after reading through the lyrics a couple of times is that the singer is being sarcastic here.
At first, I thought he was saying that it's the fault of the artists that hip hop has helped turn our Western culture into the shithole it is today. That the record companies were just doing what they usually do...making money and the artists allowed themselves and their music to be changed for the worse and to have a negative effect on our society.
However, reading it again, I now think that the singer is being sarcastic and he's saying that the artists had no choice but to sell out the music to the "3 companies" in order for it to be heard.
Well...maybe this is true. My opinion is that the genre is fine when left as a sub culture like punk. But just like hardcore punk should never go mainstream because as a whole it lacks musical talent and degrades the quality of music, neither should have hip hop for the same reason.
Nice to hear a song with an opinion on something. Banjo playing was cool too. 6.5/10

Great sample of American radio-rock. From today I've included this song to my playlist. Wonderful! 10/10.

This is something that I might've listened to when I was a teenager. Now...not so much. 5.5/10

I'm partial to these hard rock baddies. I believe they deserve more recognition.
Anyway, a very nice tune. All blends well, softly, and I like the intensity that builds up later in the song. 8/10

King's classic from "Them". By vocals - an amazing one-actor theatre. And, of course, Andy LaRock's guitar is just perfect. 10/10.
