Running With The Pack
A good solid Modern Rock song be it 2008 or 1998- transcends both decades and captures that feel of radio played rock songs. Like the intro riffs. Verse vocals nice and textured. - MarsDictators from Norwich, New York on 13Jun2008
Good dynamics and chorus
I liked the melodic intro into the heavy part, good dynamics. The dual guitar parts seemed to work pretty well in the verse and chorus, has the hooky open vocals that caught my attention, bridge part was alright, really liked the melodic break before the last chorus, very good dynamics for this type of song- mhalsdor from San Diego, California on 12Jun2008
nice arrangement
this song is full of surprisingly good ideas all put together very professionally. The production is outstanding. Meaning the mix and tonality of the instruments is excellent. The vocals are really great. very engaging/compelling. The lyrics really created the mood of this tune as much as the music. I think this band will find great success in the music industry. - towerdutydad from Unspecified on 9Jun2008

Solid
You guys are very good - simple. You've definitely got a radio friendly sound and your style is quite modern so I think you can go far. Strong performance all round, even if it aint really my thing, I know that you do what you do well. - vincentband from Australia on 3Jun2008
Sounds very good.
Ok LOVE that very short intro off-beat hook! Vocals are very good, like the way he sings "listening" just before the chorus. The mix is very good. Everythings clear and sounds where it should be. Who do you sound like? Well, your chorus makes me think of a band like Fall Out Boy or another punk band. - dvreaux from Brandon, Mississippi on 23May2008
I love the opening riff very strong vocals, fits very well with this tune, i like how the music mixes up a bit at the change in the verse it keeps my ear from drifting too far. excellent layout i could make up some criticism to balance my review but you don't deserve it kick ass. - Simpleassuicide from Cache Valley, Utah on 20May2008

Polished
You guys are pretty polished, I can tell that this band has good chemistry, cus this is TIGHT! The song is played great, the pre-chorus beat is pretty cool. Hard to pick an exact band you guys sound like, kinda like Daughtry I guess. Good song. - Detorsion from Brooks, Alberta, Canada on 12May2008
Incredibly Catchy
The music on this one is great. And the vocal doesn't disappoint, either. I tried to explain this in my first review of the pair. I have no problem with espousing your beliefs in song, just make it a good song. That's exactly what this band has done. Everything about this song is catchy. I would definitely listen to this song again. Terrific tune. - motownj from San Ramon, California on 7May2008 - garageband.com

Bio
We Create Monsters, Not Machines
Its a statement, not just a bunch of words, its a way of life. So many people become machines, programmed by everything we see in
todays media and pop culture. We have become a self- absorbed, selfish, money hungry generation that will stop at nothing to get
what we want. Sex sells so lets exploit it. Love failed you so lets destroy it... Dont like yourself? Ok, pop this pill and problem solved.
Our Generation teaches our little girls that they have to be objects of desire or look a certain way to be accepted, that they are'nt
beautiful unless they are a size 2. Society teaches our boys that it's ok to lust after girls and encourages them to find as many sexual
partners as possible.
After all of this we step back and ask ourselves why drug and alchohol abuse is so out of control. We ask why
Divorce is more common than long lasting Christian rooted marriages. We question the fact that teen pregnancy is occurent
now more than ever.
From the day we are born we are exposed and molded. We are made into machines of this world. But today, this day We create
Monsters not Machines. People who are stronger, happier, with boldness, people who are free from anger, depression, lust, low
self esteem.
We Create Monsters for Christ not Machines of this world.
