Goodness me that was good! I hope that they can do as well live, but for sure Cyprus are back in my good books after last year! :D

Erm... not taken aback by this entry so much...
I'd give 5pts.

EDIT: After some extra rewinds, that's kinda great, I'd give :8: right now..

Woopsie, kinda surprised. I like it. I should always set my expectations super low and then be super happy. Well done Cyprus! ;)

Amazing i love it! i'm not fond of rock song blablabla but this song reminds me "Smells Like Teen Spirit" : guitar and noise but a pop construction, that's what it made it so good. That's some rock FM yes, it doesn't smell dirt or filfth stuff (like badass rock songs) but that's very clever for an eurovision entry. Same tree as Lordi or MaNga.

Watch out! I'd be hilarious if their song ends up as the new favorite.....maybe we'll make it to 100 posts by the time Eurovision comes around.

The oracle is correct it seems.

Holy shit, Cyprus have come out of nowhere with an awesome song. 10 points!

I... I really didn't expect this.

I don't know if it's because I have a new job I love, but... I'm liking a lot of this year's songs, and this is no exception.

It blends very well pop sensibilities with more hard-rock vibes, and the results it's quite balanced; it both sounds modern enough but also kind of 80's, and it doesn't clash, in fact, the final product it's well-produced, well-composed, well-thought all around.

And I just love having rock songs in Eurovision.

8/12.

I expected Cypriot song to end up at the bottom of my Top list this year. However, this is really good! Thank you for this nice surprise, Cyprus :) 8 points from me.

I hope they bring a wolf on stage.

Yes please.

This was really good. Totally wasn't expecting that from Cyprus. The video is really well done too. They need to bring the same energy and level of professionalism to Sweden. If they do, they should finish really well.

It's actually quite pleasant. I am digging the lead singer's vocals. It's not the kind of song they usually would produce but with G:Son involved, that's gotta be expected. Plus it needs to be universally accessible so I guess it makes sense. Overall, one of the better entries released so far.
