The vocals are a garbled mess. He needs to find a singer.

Was just going to say the vocals sound like Vinnie Vincent Invasion.

Song itself is fine. Never understood why people like that guy. I think it’s mostly Dutch people because he’s Dutch. Bit like Arnel having a massive appeal to Filipino people because he made it in the USA. Coverdale had a weird crush on him but he was so bad the record company demanded he be replaced on SOTT (the injury story was exactly that). He never did anything great in all the years he was with Whitesnake. Total journeyman guy.

Yuck. Between the singer or the computerized drums, this is absolute rubbish.

Yep, it sounds absolutely killer. The best riff that I've heard in more than 20 years.

And if you think the vocals suck, you can go kill yourself. Mats Leven is one of the best singers in the business.

He sounds like a knock off version of the new Skid Row guy.

Drum sound is a bit meh, but otherwise very solid.

Mmhhhh, in that scenario I'd rather choose Eddie van Halen...

Indeed but this is not one of Mats's best moments. It sounds like he is trying to do the sleazy screaming like he did on Swedish Erotica's debut (which is great by the way) but it doesn't sound quite right. Maybe here he tried to sound like previous Vandenberg singer Ronnie Romero, whose vocals do suck regardless of band...
