As far as I've seen, the reaction has ranged from slight enthusiasm, indifference, to down right disgust.

I think what kills it for a lot of people is the random rap bit. It does feel like it was just thrown in there in a futile attempt to cross genres.
That said, I feel it's a fair try at updating the song to a more modern sound. Face it 80s fans, Hair band rock is a dated genre.

For the most part, I like this version. I feel the overall sound has a bit more passion to it. imo
It could have used a little fine tuning. Like I said the rap bit is rather jarring at first if you're not use to that genre being in rock. And even if you are, it still kinda feels out of place for this song.

In short, not bad, but not awesomely great either. I dare say it's rather average for todays style of rock. But still, Stan gets a "cheers" from me for effort.

I have a slightly edited one from Stan personally w/o the rap but it's no different if we did it manually. I like the song after multiple listens now. However I still dislike the rap. Myself and Mike "TFG1" Blanchard got an 2nd interview with him since this song's release and his return from botcon. He explains in the show what he was going for with the song and so on. It's in All Things Transformers Episode 25.
