Eh, I can definitely sense Portnoy's influence (even if it's just slight) on this song, but I can't say I like the song too much. Their singer sounds like he really wants to be James Hetfield... I don't know, some singers really grow on me after a while (I didn't like Labrie much at first, but he's one of my favorite singers now) but I have a feeling that this A7x guy never will.
