Wow, even on Blabbermouth only positive comments. That's pretty rare in general!  facebook.com/Blabbermouth.net/posts/1745342538817735 |

To me the song sounds like a positive hymn to life, so much needed especially in recent times, still it owns an intrinsic melancholy that makes the message even stronger until that liberating cry "like champions!"...
The quiet part before the refrain sounded unexpected to me too but I think that in this way the sense of "struggle" the lyrics convey is better highlighted... there is some kind of "pain" in the words and in the music... so well expressed by the guitar solo which I truly like...
Love the drums especially in some of the passages! Simple and so effective... The bass playing is always refined and cool at the same time! Great work of Mic throughout the song also in the background!!! Joey pushes his voice in such a powerful way, stressing the single words so nicely! It's not an easy song to sing at all... and it will be interesting to see how he will deal with it live...

Did anyone found out what Joey is saying (backwards, indeed...just like the Beatles) at the end of the song?
Curious.

Hmm, maybe it's 'Sunshine is a metaphoric ride'
Guess we just have to wait for the official lyrics..

Time for me to chip in  I really like Walk the Earth, it is a great song, catchy yet a grower. I am wondering why there is no promo video, though. Perhaps it is coming? My guess is the video is coming... They typically do videos of some sort. |

I'm going to eat my words a little. I've really grown to like this track now! It's on constant rotation. Still think weak points are the bridge and fast part of the solo but love joeys vocals and the underlying chording underneath those verses. Quite uplifting.
