Awesome, indeed !
I love the men's virile backing vocals !

[naif]

Wow very good acouustic job!! All this hand claps, hey hey thing, backing vocals, effects... makes the song more effective.

[localhero1986]

Listening the album version for the first time, seems quite good.

Whoa, great! Pirates of the Carribean IV, here we go 

[MisterYES]

Truly nice!

Almost like Man's Too Strong played by more folk oriented band. Like it!

Thanks for letting us know, such a fantastic composition... love the 'chain gang' style production - very industrial

[Love Expresso]

I can't hear any clapping though...

AAAAH, now, yes... took me some time, quite background... (WHAT ARE YOU SAYING???  )

When the first instrumental part starts (the band part I mean), it sounds quite comped... And I wonder what the synths sound at the very end has to do with it all... Couldn't it have been the last "breath" of Mike's Uilleann Pipes to end the song?

And I had hoped for some more powerful drumming at the end like the Hannover live version for example.. But you can't have it all...  

But all in all great tune, Mark covered the singing pretty perfect on stage, nearly no difference in phrasing and pronouncing which is quite unusual with Mark.
