"Emotion Factory Reset," the lineup’s ninth studio album since 1984’s March Of The Saint, is a resurrection of sorts, a tearing down and a rebuilding in eleven songs of diverse musicality and lyrical themes. Produced, as were the previous four albums, by bassist Joey Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) the record finds the quintet challenging themselves.

“Hit A Moonshot” is a band favorite. A “moonshot” is a baseball term referencing a homerun that’s hit at a high angle and distance. An avid sports fan, vocalist John Bush was considering the parallels between sports and entertainment.

“It’s like you knocked something out of the park,” elaborates Bush, “I use a lot of sports analogies because I love sports. Sports IS entertainment…’Hit A Moonshot’ is inspired by the people who keep landing on their feet. Like, no matter what the fuck this person does… Some people just get lucky. This applies to anyone. And landing on your feet is commendable. So, I'm busting balls, but I'm also giving accolades. Sometimes people can do that all the way to their grave. Then there are other people who are so good or talented or creative, and they struggle forever. I don't think life is balanced all the time, and I don't think it's fair.

“It has a ferocious riff, cool tempo changes, scorching leads, huge chorus with lots of backing vocals,” he continues. “We love Queen and The Sweet! It’s a cool breakdown with an epic ending. Once again, it sounds just like ARMORED SAINT.”

04. Hit a Moonshot
--------------------------------
To get to the creme of the crop is going to take
A move like a wild hare
Patronize all night long
Yet I'm still full of hot air
Stick and a move and a rat-a-tat
And you don't know what's coming
One sided game of leapfrog
And I keep on jumping

Work it to the core
Jacked to the core
Wreck the town like a cyber war
Work it to the core
Jacked to the core
I'm falling off the cliff

Man I hit a moonshot a moonshot
Right off the yacht yeah
Girl I hit a moonshot the jackpot
Look what I got

Standing in motion licking their wounds
Running hot and cold
Brass tactics always prevail
Or so I'm told
Bend the ear nonstop
Cause I'm pigheaded
Face the firing squad
But never defeated

Work it to the core
Jacked to the core
I found a place I can really soar
Work it to the core
Jacked to the core
Come and take a whiff

Man I hit a moonshot a moonshot
Take down Camelot
Girl I hit a moonshot
Yeah now the floor is mine
Don't count on jack squat
Jack squat

Like a newborn baby's wail
I'll shoot em up like William Tell

Yes the party's over
Now we all can celebrate
Yes the party's over
Now we all can celebrate

I hit a moonshot
My jackpot
I hit a moonshot
And Camelot is dead but I'm not
Like a newborn baby's wail
I'll shoot em all like William Tell
