not my cup of tea at all, but that's not saying it's bad. I really like the bridge on race to degrade. There are some small inconsistencies in the time with the drummer's feet and where the guitar is happening. Some studio magic could fix that. for me, that timing needs to be super clean to be effective. Also when it gets heavier, the drums need to be on the top side of the beat a little more. When you're down in the "mud" (low tones) it can make it seem like it's dragging because of the frequency of the sounds. A good analogy is walking. Instead of leaning back and walking all slow and heavy, get some forward momentum and get to where you're going. Not saying rush, but top side, and then in the slower groovier parts have it lean back where there is more space. Just a few personal preferences as a drummer and what little i know about the canon. Great song writing and well executed otherwise.
