I like the music, but I'm not a fan of the vocals. The vocals are too cliche for me. I'd rather have Darren do the vocals or have none at all or samples.

I think its fantastic - and what I like even more about it is that the drop isn't into some stupid electro minimal guff
the whole thing sniffs of IIO - At The End (Michael Woods Remix)...and for that I friggin love this track
the only let down is the actual choice in lyrics (not the most inspired) the singer is fantastic though and the melody (of both the singer and the backing) is wonderful and eerie.
so yeah, for me, outstanding.
(for anyone not familiar with IIo - At The End (Michael Woods Remix) you'll probably enjoy that too!

Its a very nice track, but nothing overly special. I like how the vocals work with the instrumental and melody.
As DMS said, it has 2 thirds of what it needs to be really good.
It has everything it needs to be a decent track and meet the standards of everything else, but nothing extra to make it really special... Thats a shame because it's this case with a lot of stuff.

yea I tried it on Chrome and they work fine. In fact I just downloaded Chrome earlier today because for some reason Beatport was not working correctly on Firefox. And now ever since having Chrome Youtube isn't working well firefox either. Man I would hate to switch completely over to Chrome seeing as how everything is set up nicely on FF for me.

when I first heard it (gammers soundcloud mix, a few days ago) I thought to myself "this can't be an original, sounds like it must have been a trance track first"..I think the breakdown at least sounds too good for hardcore. Thankyou Mr Styles! :)

I think the lead riff is awesome, it's still very uplifting and sounds a lot more current. You can't expect Darren Styles to keep doing exactly the same sound as he was doing 5 years ago. That would be just plain dull, he's constantly evolving and advancing with his sound.
You look at Darren Styles favourite producers these days and they are very progressive. Guys like Calvin Harris, Laid Back Luke and Axwell, you can tell they influenced him alot with his new productions which is great!!

Same. Firefox just completely died for me in the end about a month ago.

The first listen I thought it was ok, but after a couple more I'm starting to like it. It's a grower.
