Another "synth-core" song, my dudes.

Hi,
Have you listened with h'phones? The intro caused a lot of pressure in my ears.
The cymbals need taming as does the lead key.
The backing keys need some space.
I like where & how the voice is.
When the bass guitar came in the song sounded electro punk but then the bass was buried again - give it some air.
Was it recorded live - it certainly has that feel to it.
The spirit & recording ethos of 1976 with synths.
Don't over do things - I, generally, like the essentials.
Cheers

I listened on headphones but my headphones roll off a pretty decent chunk of the highs, so they're probably not a real good reference. What frequency range was causing the pressure? Also, by "taming" what do you mean? Thanks for responding.
 
Cool song. I'd like to hear maybe a few more tracks, it sounds a little empty. Oh wait, there's bass - that's better. Good stuff.
 
MANX,
I don't know the frequency of the pressure I was only using a pair of MDR V3's & didn't run any freq. analysis.
By taming I meant, crudely, drop the levels or re EQ to the same effect.
Don't panic - it may have been just me & my machine or the mP3 decompression etc etc etc.
If no one else mentions it take it for what it is - an isolated opinion.

I´m hearing in a pair of Sony´s MDR-7509 and have no problems...
MIXING
Take some low end of reverb in synth pads.
Tame the hi-hat, give some around 10khz to it and remove some around 8khz
Good bass sound there when it´s not fighting with other instruments.
I Think everythong sounds nicely, but overall volume hides it because of loud Synth. Lower it´s volume and bring the rest up front.
I think the KICK SNARE KICK SNARE KICK SNARE with hats in contra-tempo don´t work at all...
There´s some weird noise at 8khz I guess.
Why not maximizing it´s volume? at -3!

SONGWRITING
Well... it´s noticeable that someone can´t play a keyboard for the lines and for the lost tempi :-)
Maybe a change in the lyrics that just repeat themselves?
It seems to me that you don´t know where to go untill you get to 01:00
00:43 Weakens it´s other appereances
Why´s that HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY? Do you really imagine peopple in a club screaming HEY HEY HEY HEY
Didn´t have enough time to listen to hole song but it seems to be in it´s way UP!

Well if you guys could just comment my mix!
