    for some reason i really like musics with some minor lyrics or that have some speaker pop up at some point of the song for a short time .. say some things .. and music continues after that ... i really like those kinda musics .. thats why i really love Beacon .. before the speaker says those words .. music drops .. it cools down .. then he says the words with a great voice .. and when he finishes off with "where would you go" .. music goes up again .. that gives me chills every time i listen Beacon .. thats what i love about that ... for The Bomb .. at first i didnt really liked the music much .. but after listening it again and again .. i slowly started to love it .."surrender or die" .. well i think those words aimed at listeners of the music :D .. and i slowly surrendered myself to song and hooked to it :D that also a point i like about that song as well ... ofc entire album is fantastic ...

    This is a masterpiece. The last track has probably the best progression I've heard in the genre, both guitarists absolutely smashed their solos. Subbed, about to buy, looking forward to a Volkor X future.

    Now seriously, I listen to plenty of music genres for my age probably, and I discovered Synthwave just a few months ago... but damn.. "This Means War" definitely deserves a spot among my favourite (and most fucking galacticly epic) songs of all times. You truly gave birth to a masterpiece, Volkor X, and I sincerely thank you for this

    I've yet to listen to another track as bone-chilling and adrenaline-injecting as This Means War. I can say without hesitation that this is the best song I've heard in my life, and it has truly left behind a mark in my it. Volkor X and Sylvian Coudret, I thank you for this, sincerely. Such passion in your music. I like all of your songs. Greetings.

The adrenaline and energy going through my body warped me back to my childhood with the greatest memories of 2D shooters and videogames with my brother and friends. I feel like I owe you money for listening to this song alone.

    This world could use a good mass extinction event to unite the masses. I vote for Volkor X allday, every day.
    The other robots running for president have their weaknesses exposed like it's a video game. One's making himself increasingly unelectable by being as honest as possible, while also being as non transparant as possible. An odd infinite loop racecondition in the reasoning matrix I reckon..if successful however, prime candidate for premature scrappage by elite overlordbot orders. The other has so many defective parts, she's almost coming apart at the biohinges. Not sure this particular robot is fit for leadership..
    as for me; some robots just want to see the world burn.. It's been a while since I witnessed the flames on Cybertron's shattered remains.. #nostalgia ;)
