One Track Mind - Smaug's Revenge
Nick DeRiso
"The track opens with a snug guitar groove and this perfectly wrought old-school lyric filled with fantasy and wonder."
"You hear bits of Ronnie James Dio's mystical portent, the f-you inventiveness of Frank Zappa. Then, like "Mr. Roboto" smashing through the Styx catalog,
that endearing menace is blown to bits as the Gray Lions bolt out into a sweeping repeated chorus straight out of the Beatles playbook."
