Wow, that's really good.  I'm not big on rap but they blended it in well with
the other singer.  I like that style of 90's rock rhythm and it is almost two
songs in one with the rapping portion.  I wasn't sure if I liked it at first
but I think they pulled off the integration pretty well - reminds me of Kid
Rock.  Excellent guitar work, and mixing with the orchestral music too.  It's
a little too long, I would prefer less than 4 minutes.  The very end dragged
on a lot longer than necessary also.  I would increase the tempo and adjust
the tone to a more "MC Hammer/Sir Mix a Lot" in-your-face style during the
"rap" part.  Perhaps add some cool back-beat drum fill-ins occasionally to
keep it flowing during transitions.


Did he want a critique or are you just a beaming proud dad? :-)
