One more thing. The backing for the Dave solo and parts of the solo itself reminds me of a couple of songs from Dio-era Sabbath. Particularly Neon Knights.

And H said he is really happy with the sound?! Don't get me wrong I really like the song. But if you put Speed of Light on the same playlist with any Bruce solo albums or even some Martin Birch albums.....it sounds like a mess.
I don't mean the structure but the sound quality.
Well, at least the vocals aren't nearly as dry here so that's a pretty decent difference in the right direction.
Honestly, it kind of sounds like there's a great production underneath, but someone has pillows over the speakers or something.
To be fair, if they are going for 'live' then this is pretty much what they sound like live minus the buried drums.

You know for years now I always thought Kevin Shirley is kinda crappy. I don't have any knowledge about mastering or producing an album but my gut feeling always said 'this guy kinda sucks' to me. I'm starting to believe it more now. He just can't mix albums well I think. It's always a bit messy.

Here I sit in a serenade of glory!
Well, some of the other albums he did over the period he is working with Maiden, sound quite amazing. Did you check any of the Bonamassa releases?

Anyone else totally expect a scream to end the song as well? The way it kind of stops at around the 4:30 mark and the jam for like 30 seconds (which, honestly could have been trimmed as it adds nothing whatsoever) and then Bruce comes back in. First few times I heard that section I was expecting a scream ala Run to the Hills or something to pair with the opening one. Maybe it's just me but that would have sounded bad-ass.

I anticipated one as well, but I think what we got instead was better. Very Dio-ish.

Kevin Shirley's work with Dream Theater (a band that has a lot more variance in sound to juggle during a recording and mixing process) clearly shows that the sound is not his fault.
Absolutely.

Be honest. You don't want to make Steve angry, do you?

I went ahead and made a video review of the song and music video.

It's my first time doing a video review. I'm not sure if I'll do more or not, but I felt compelled to give it a shot here.

Maybe you should do review of full album after release? I mean - if you like making videos. You have some valid points in this review so why not? Just change angle of camera if you can and maybe better background (sorry, I work in marketing and sadly - I can be real pain in the ass when it comes to details) and do it. Anyway - thans for effort. I like it!
He does all the work but Steve approves it in the end. Watch the DotR documentary, even Kevin Shirley seems bewildered at Steves choice for a final master.

Sometimes I wish the band could just be locked out of the mastering sessions.
ALSO - the video has topped HALF A MILLION views! That's incredible.
