Mike looks pretty good for his age. A little like Roy Scheider. Wondering if he's gonna grow out his hair for touring.

Nice video! I'm really excited that Mike Howe is back with the band. His is the Metal Church era I know best. I hope to get the chance to see them live. I think they were in my neck of the woods a while back, but I chose not to go because Howe wasn't the singer.

Thank you sir! This has been a complicated day and my spirits have just been lifted. Thoughts:
1) Best 6 minutes I've ever spent with a youtube video. (lights cigarette)
2) Mike looks great and it's neat to hear from him. He's fit vocally and physically.
3) Those songs already have me engaged. Some great riffs with inviting twists.
4) I'm wondering if we're actually going to see this album by the end of the year. We don't have a title, and it seems too narrow a window for RatPak to engage distribution. But my knowledge of time frames with independent deals is narrow, so I dunno.

I loved watching Mike's facial expressions in the studio. Great to see he's having fun doing this.

Mike sounds great! He's always been my favorite MC vocalist. Human Factor holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Really looking forward to this.

It just hit me...
This'll be the first time Kurdt and Mike will be performing together.
Cool.

Sounds like a track that could've been on HITB ... an album I didn't enjoy much at all.
They've really lost the riffiness of their early quality work while everyone is focused on the return of the old vocalist.

Not surprised.
Totally underwhelmed by this lame, under-cooked hard rock ... but it's THE RETURN OF MIKE HOWE@!!!1111111
I was listening to their live album today as I was driving around and it still blows me away after listening to those songs for over a decade.
These guys have the potential to do much better than this. Not a single above average guitar riff to be had.

It's okay, but I don't know if I would have chosen it as the lead single. I would have gone with something more uptempo. At least Mike sounds fine on this.

Face it: if it was a new singer sounding the exact same no one would give a crap.
