I'm not even into this kind of song, but DAYUM
When Isacc told me to check out this song i was wary and didn't expect much, but I was surprized. The music itself is very good, though i must say i've heard many songs that sound similar (but to be fair, bands like disturbed only have one song they just play it a little differently every time and its a pretty damn good song, which explains why so many people including myself are fans). The lyrics too are of a very common subject area and contain many cliches about lyrics; its in second person, the use of "I" to constantly describe and set the mood and tone, etc.. However, as a member of a genre of music that is flooded to the brim with cliche lyrics and that is often constrained by music that cannot vary too much or fear leaving its genre, the song, is a cut above most others. It took the things i see wrong with the genre and combined them in a way that actually made the song better than its peers. Well played sir...
Lastly, regaurding the one comment on the scream... I found it well placed, since it was at was seemed to me to be at the climax of the song.
tl;dr
This song is in the cream of the crop when it comes to its genre.
