My landlady didn't leave for church this morning. Her church Sundays are usually when I save metal vocal recording. I compensated by covering myself with a large quilt, draping it in front of me over the monitor so I was in a tent. I have no idea if this worked, but it made me feel safe. I wish I'd had time to mix more, compress less, and make a few more attempts at some of the vocals. Also, I simply cannot pull off actual metal guitar flourishes and solos. Tapping and Van Halenism are all I can do.

You really nailed that hair-metal sound, for better or worse. Sounds like some of those high notes were a bit borderline for your range, though, and that works against this song. Your chorus is probably the one most likely to be stuck in my head after this week. The challenge may not have been your friend this week - by the time you launch into your double-time section, I thought the song was just about over. It was a little frustrating to realize there was still a minute and a half left, though the bridge did inject some more momentum into it. Especially that shredded solo - the guitar tone is a dead-ringer for some emblematic hair metal songs.
