LOL - you always say that. But no.
Maybe he has a point, and that's why he keeps saying it....?

Somebody put a feather in your shorts Po boy?
thank you for your arrangement suggestion, as above. I have no issues with it at all, or with you making it. In this case I'm not taking it on board. Your other comments I'll examine when I get the chance, later today. No angst or anger here. We're good from my point of view.
if you have a point, make it, don't be oblique.
chill out and just be cool
I'm Chill, that's my name. Well, it's Chili, but close enough.
Great tune Arm. Not sure what version I'm listening to, which is good because I'm not being pre-biased with perceived changes or non-changes.
I like the main riff guitar up front like that. While not a melody, it is moving the song along and sets the mood. You have enough space between the main riff guitar and the lead vocals that they aren't stepping on each other. If it were in mono, that might be a different story.
I have always felt your drums were too buried. I hear them, but they are never a major force in your songs. I think this is because you are a guitar player and not a drummer. You have absolutely no mud in the mix. The mids and high mids have most of the energy, so you can push the drums (and bass somewhat) up to fill in the low end.
Most times 5:30 minutes is too long for a song, not this one. It lived and breathed and ended with grace. Very cool. Next time I listen I'll have my lava lamp on.
Cheers,
Haven't posted in quite a while but trying to get back into this.
Overall very nice! Sometimes, especially around 3:50 - 4:06 or so, kind of sounds like your drummer grew an extra arm. The cymbal hits with the tom rolls sound difficult. The counterpoint all works and to me throughout this sounds like real drums and they sound nice. I may be way off base, but I think I would maybe build a little percussion kit panned just very slightly to the right to hold those cymbal tings and bells, and maybe throw some subtle bongos or other percussion elements into that kit just for texture? This is just what I'm hearing.
Good tune. Sounds nothing like Boston or Toto to me. ( or mettalica)
0nly thing that sticks out to me is the drums. To my ear they lack a bit of body, and sound placed back too far.
The levels are just fine, they just seem to have the wrong reverb on them.
Now, that could well be an artistic choice, and that would be fine. But since you put it up for critique, I thought I'd mention it.
