Great song, and the second half doesn't drag it down imo. My only complaints with the song are that the lyrics in the second half of the growl section don't fit the delivery, and that MP held back on doing full on growls.
What I've always loved about this song is how well JR fits the heaviness, adding something unique to the song with the theramin and creepy halloween type sounds. It gives it an awesome mood. I love what he does with the middle section too, with the Rhodes kind of sound.
And I love the vocals too. JLB is sounding great, and the harmonies are among my favourite from DT, both in the heavy sections and the soft section.
But let's not forget about JP! I like how he blends the bluesy rock leads over that awesome metal riffing.
I'd probably give it an 8.5/10.
