Actually, this aspect would most likely make “War Cry” just as enjoyable at a live show as it would be blasting loudly from your car stereo.
The title of the song is fitting, though, despite the calming nature of the track. It is a powerful track that will have you singing along as if the lyrics are a war cry of your own.
