This is what angst looks like for me. Maybe it's grunge or something? I don't know. Inspired by Stone Temple Pilots if you can hear it.

Holy cow, this is such a cool example of why I love the chord progressions you explore in your music: they're so subversive, and they build and release tension in wonderful ways. And I actually like the mix! It sounds like this track might not be your favorite (I get feeling that way about WB submissions sometimes), but it's definitely a new favorite of mine. You've been writing some really awesome stuff, both this year and in the years before. Keep up the great work!
I love it, my wife loves it. You have a wonderful voice and all the instruments harmonize beautifully!
I can hear what you mean with that 90s STP sound, really enjoying the listen, nice work
The singing is really good. I like the question/answer with the vocal and guitar around the 1:30 section. Ah yeah i love when it gets metal at 2:00 with that huge crunchy sound (but then, i'm a bit partial to heavy guitars).
I was now reading your comments about the mix. If you're going for a STP kind of sound, then maybe less reverb would be good. I like the track how it sounds right now, but it's true that it's a different vibe, more like late 70s prog rock. If you find the recipe to make your track sound like STP, please let me know as i'm interested! 
lotta polish in this one! agree with everyone on the overall originality of the structure and the chord progressions. This one seems to feel more focused in the overall instrumentation. Can also hear a definite progression in the vocals week-to-week! This one's vocals sound noticeably more consistent and more finely mixed. Keep it up!
Damn, at the 2 min mark those guits cuts like razors!
I really like those fuzzy guitars on the back. I think the reverb on the start of the song is great, maybe automate it for a shorter one (on guit and vocals) for a more grounded vibe when the fuzzy guitars does kick in? But it is great work man.
I quite like the lyrics as well and the way you sing it.
Def hearing those STP vibes right out of the gate ala "Purple" and "No.4". The 2min mark rocks and totally relate to the lyrics. Well done and lookin forward to next weeks
Great blend of your prog roots with classic 90's and early aughts snarl. Banger.
I like the dynamics on this one. I think I'd like the vocals to be a bit more highlighted in the mix, but I also have no idea what I'm talking about.
This is a really awesome song, great mix, love the effects. I think I would call it Shoegaze (if you're looking for a genre to put it in), because of how immersive the reverb effects are, and how etherial the vocals are, while still being angsty and emotional. But, whatever you call it, it's dope.
Great feel, exciting chords--maybe...more sophisticated than grunge as such. Nicely done!
I could hear STP in that intro riff. Some proggy mathy rhythm chorus, and cool chords, really held interest. Nice one, I like the lyrics and vocals sound great. I can relate to getting too far in the head. Awesome you got things out with a good song!
Fantastic!!! This is a real, fully imagined and beautifully executed radio ready banger! I want to call in and win tickets to your show!!
I really like the bass/guitar interplay during the verses. Really enjoying the fact that you're doing so much vocally this year. I agree with Steve:
I think I'd like the vocals to be a bit more highlighted in the mix, but I also have no idea what I'm talking about.
There's something about the melody that matches the song beautifully, because there is part of me that wants it to resolve to a comfortable place, but it is "keeping me in suspense".
Some constructive criticism: For me, the rhythm and lead guitar during the first part of the song sounded a little bit samey; I wanted the lead guitar on the right to come from a different dimension. I did like the concept of the call/answer between the synths and guitar, though.
Nice job!
It's great, I like reverb and there's something to be said about your own style. Also, support of your loved ones is great.

Sorry I took so long to leave a comment on this one! I actually have been listening to it throughout the last week though. I think it's another good addition to the group of songs you've been submitting this year. I really like the somber sounds you've been getting lately. The guitars sound really light and airy which I really like. I think the vocal delivery is really nice and I think you did a good job with the lyrics. The transition to the heavy bit at around 2:00 minutes in is well done and flows nicely. I especially like how you release the building tension with that anthemic vocal melody afterwards too. You've been writing some really solid songs! Keep it up!
I really like the overall progression of this track and the mode swing over to the heavy metal part is just superb! Love it!
