    This was absolutely incredible. This is a difficult song to cover without either sounding too dissimilar to the original or else as if one is trying to imitate their vocalist. But Kristin was true to herself, and still killed it. I was blown away by how much your backing vocals sounded like theirs! Richie, that solo was pure magic. You NAILED the tone of the original. Lastly, the production was ALSO incredibly faithful to the original! That was a near-perfect mix. This brought back some great memories. You guys are legends, you are.

Also the guitars sound a bit heavier in the pre-chorus, which I like. Bass sounds great. Drummer is spot on. Backing vocals are great. This is really an incredible rendition of a great song.

    WOW!!! I have been a Queenryche fan since their very beginnings in Seattle Washington.
    I have to say that this is one of their best songs. As I understand the history it's a song that was written about Seattle itself and coming home from the long miles of touring. You guys did an amazing job with this. As a vocalist and guitar player myself in high school back in the dayz I can assure anyone that this is not an easy bar to match. The music alone is on a level that will stand the test of time of any Beethoven or Chopin concerto.bThen there's the unbelievable vocal stylings of Mr. Geoff Tate. What can I say... A legend. Give yourselves a round of applause people. I only listened to your rendition once thus far but I think you nailed it note for note!!! Incredible. I will listen to this many times and even if I hear anything not 100% on point it will still be an amazing tribute to an incredible band born and raised in Seattle Washington all those years ago. Thank you for your outstanding performance.

    As a sound man, I can tell you whoever mixed this did a pretty great job. All of the band is tight, and the BGVs were on point. Then there’s the drummer. I’m also a drummer and grew up on Scott Rockenfield’s playing in QR. This guy clearly didn’t do his homework, as he missed many of the intricacies that make this song great. Regardless, very solid cover.
