As far as that wacky chorus goes... it's one of Michael's first attempts outside of the typical Stryper formula, so maybe he'll take note and get it right next time. It's just out of place and forced. It doesn't flow with the song at all.

I agree. They brought in Matt Bachand from Shadows Fall to do the chorus vocals which isn't bad, but it just doesn't flow well.

I listened to the song.... Musicially =Solid, even some of the vox are good but that Chours OMG that chours is a a DEAL BREAKER!!!!! I can't unhear that i thought this was Stryper not Korn!

I started liking the chorus after I listened to it a few times.

Diehard fans will overlook anything...

Metallica fans are notorious for it.

I was gonna say something to that effect, I used to be a die hard stryper fan but not anymore

I like to consider myself a fairly diehard fan, but... that new song still blows. Haha.

Let's just hope the rest of the album makes up for it.

I just know my skip button will be put to use on that song!

I can only speak for myself, but this is incorrect. There are Stryper songs I do not like at all.

Also people will pretend you only like it because you are a diehard fan because they hate it so much. Slayer fans are notorious for it (See how ridiculous this logic is now?).

I think the chorus sounds rather cartoonish.

Ya think?! Where was the producer, engineer, band mates, anyone to step in and tell the great Michael Sweet; "dood, this is bloody awful and stupid!"

Michael is the producer.

You dont have to like every song to be a diehard fan

Thanks for replying Addy. I couldn't understand the way he worded his comment (due to lack of punctuation).

Every time I see the album title I think of this song. Lol!

Well, that sinks it. Any chance I might have had of ever taking that song seriously is now gone.  

Whenever I hear it from now on, that's how I'm gonna sing the chorus.

Just recently found out Stryper are going to be playing close by on June 8th.

Stryper's intention is to lead people to the Lord, but all they managed to do is lead them to Little Caesars!

Except I'm not debating if I'm a diehard fan. He inferred that the chorus was growing me on me because I 'overlook' things because I'm "diehard." If that was the case wouldn't clunkers like All Of Me, Lonely, Come To The Everlife or Not That Kind Of Guy have grown on me over the years? It's nonsense. Other people don't get to decide for me why I like something or not.

What puntuaction did I miss? Also how do you reply to somebody who is telling you why you like something? Generaliztions are hard to reply to because they have nothing to do with facts.

I don't even think this song is that big of a turd.  Stryper has much bigger turds in their catalog in my book.  "Honestly" springs instantly to mind.

I will admit the chorus is fairly ludicrous but at least it makes the song interesting.  After all, we now have 5 pages talking about it.

Idk. Your comment just looked jumbled. Your use of the word "pretend" instead of assume threw me off, and you also said "because" twice and there was no comma separating your sentence.
