I listened to this again and the only tolerable part was the first part of the chorus. But as a whole, I still think this is not good, especially with those generic lyrics. I'll take Halestorm's and The Pretty Reckless' singles over this anyday.

I just made the mistake of listening to this for the first time. The verses are terrible, not sure why she's trying to rap, or whatever this is. Hope this gets nowhere near the Active Top 10 like Sick Like Me did.

This is so fucking bad. Like, what the actual hell is this crap supposed to be? I LOVE female fronted rock music but Maria Brink is a terrible vocalist who tries WAY too hard and it comes across as gross and cheap. I also feel like bands like In This Moment are taking a step back as far as women in rock go. To me it's cock rock - just a parody. This is not music to me - it's complete and utter shit that I hope never enters my poor ears again.

Top 30 is more than I ever thought this song would climb? There must be some Lady Ga-Ga fans listening to Active Rock radio?

I thought this woulda died by now, by holy hell stations are actually still moving this up. Honestly, IMO this is one of the worst rock songs of the 2010s.

I think we should stop complaing about this song simply because this song isn't going to do anything at all. It's been in the 24-28 range for ages and it even has a negative bullet right now.

The song is literally titled SEX METAL BARBIE why anyone would want to listen after that is beyond me.

My God, this is horrible. That robotic voice in the chorus is especially cringeworthy.

Here's the music video just FYI That pretty much confirms my suspicions. By this time, next year ,In This Moment, will have changed their name to ITM and be in the mainstream Top 10. or worse; on Bill Board Hot 100

Here's the music video just FYI Maria Brink is attractive, sure, I'll admit that. I don't however understand why she tries to look like Christina Aguilera. There's nothing wrong with the way X-tina looks either, they're both beautiful, but when you're trying to be a badass rock band, trying to sexually resemble a pop star just isn't the way to go IMO.

I just heard this and I have no words. Then I saw the video. What is this? This is so strange and disturbing and there are other words I want to use to describe them, but I don't think those words have been invented yet. The lyrics are really out there, but would not have been out place on a Hole album 20 years ago. But the "delivery" of the vocals/lyrics is so frightening.

This is so going on my "Trashtastic" Spotify playlist. Joining songs like "Stupid Hoe", "Hello Kitty", and "Gucci Gucci".

Well, I kind of hate this song. Still better than Blood, but that's not saying much. I actually think that Maria has a good voice, she just doesn't use it right. Also, what is she trying to convey with her image? Is it supposed to be sexy? I don't get it...

Perhaps she is embodying everything about Barbie that society takes issue with from the hair to the disproportionate body parts to the ridiculous outfits. And everything is so over the top and exaggerated on purpose. And then it's all warped and twisted a la "The Beautiful People".

After the release of this, I'm pretty sure she can add a couple of new items to that list.

1. Gets criticized for releasing bad music 2. Responds by releasing worst song ever made Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I get the sarcasm behind the song and music video, but I still feel like they're trying too hard to get a reaction. I do have to give credit where credit is due, though--I'm pretty sure that this ITM song is more creative than anything Halestorm has ever done before.

I hated Halestorm at first but I've come to enjoy their recent singles. But I can't even get my dad to like them and that stuff's right up his alley, so I don't really understand what the problem is anymore.

Like Pretty Reckless " Fucked Up World" did, but the video doens't give me that impression. It's feels more like she secretly wants to be the Lady GaGa of Metal.
