    This song used to give me ptsd flashbacks because this song literally was playing in the car right before I almost died in a really bad car accident. I still love this song and all of Fallujah discography! A perfect band that honestly seems more like an entity than a band.

    The Flesh Prevails is seriously one of the best metal albums of all time, at least top 3. I cannot put into words how perfect it is.
    Helps that it was a tiny beacon of light during a particularly lonely time for me, alone in Nebraska working nights at a hotel. The Flesh Prevails just made me feel at peace. Sadness wasn't forgotten, but it was dullened just enough for the hope to peek in.
    Musicians like Scott are doing God's work. Maybe one day He'll do it himself, but until then I'm so grateful to have music like this to lean on.

    Much like Satriani, Scott Carstairs is one of the few guitarist that really take you on a journey. Scott's better at "atmospherics", if that's a term. One of my all-time favorite guitarists. His writing and composition are second to none. Most "relistenable" guitarist in my playthrough roster. You catch something new, even years later. 🤘

    Fallujah se convirtio en una de las bandas que realmente me emocionan... Llegan a tocar una parte de mi alma y me hacen sentir que existen esperanzas. Es un sentimiento extraño el que tengo hacia ellos pero, tanto es mi amor a la banda que si me afecto un poco el cambio en su produccion, eso no quita lo grande que son como musicos y como escritores. Deseo que su proxima produccion nuevamente vuelva hacerme sentir escalofrios con cada nota de cada uno de sus instrumentos y reconsideren a alguien mas en la voz a corde a su precioso sonido. Con todo respeto: Un Fan.
