DJP should've just left the writeup at "It's goat, and it's Contra". That's all it took for me to download this. And it did not disappoint, either. Studies show that goat + contra = awesomeness. And studies don't lie.

Great song! I love the arrangement, works so good with the guitars. Very tasteful. The guitar tone is great, as always, and everything is very nicely balanced, though the kick drum gets lost from time to time.

Performance wise, this is great! The playing is very professional sounding, your personal style comes through very well (as do your influences). I just wish the drum track was a bit more interesting.

Overall, a fantastic song nobody should miss out on. Great work!

A spectacular rock-out from 0:00 to 3:10. I noticed a particular lack of the wah-wah pedal relative to some of goat's other songs, which creates a smoother guitar tone, but in no way less wicked. Loved the machine gun licks especially prominent at the end. Fantastic song. Rock on goat.

After some of goat's Castlevania mixes, this one seems comparatively scaled back.

Regardless, I totally dig the rock-out style, and the classic Contra touch is always the icing on the cake. Well done.

If I close your eyes while listening to this, I'm transported back to the skies of Megakat City, while T-Bone and Razor tear through the skies while pursuing the Metallikats. Nice.

From 2:45 on, really caught my attention. For some unkown reason, I see myself playing Ace Combat 5 to this...

Goat strikes again. Nice job.

The guitars sound great, and the arrangement is pretty good.

However, as was mentioned before, the kick drum gets lost in the background sometimes. Which is a pity, seeing as how some kick-ass drum could make this track even better.

Nice work.
