Lots of contrasts from the intro to outro, all in all a great job. Nice one.

Nice song, nice feel. I really like your voice.
I agree with what everyone else said about the vocals being out front a bit much. The one thing I might caution is that during the chorus there's an extra guitar part. When that part kicks in, it's pretty loud and the vocals sit well. So if you turn them down you need to be careful not to bury them in the chorus.
A suggestion might be to double track the vocals in the chorus. It will make them sound fuller and would probably be a cool sounding effect on its own.
How about harmonies in the chorus?
I'm listening on cheap headphones, so this is sort of a guess. But it sounds to me like there is not enough low end to the song. The instruments all sound a little weak - kind of lacking that low end. Kind of a weird snare sound.
I'm focusing a bit too much on the negatives, it's a good piece of work. Hope I can make it better.

Hey sir,
From a loose glance at this thread, a lot of things have been addressed, so take these thoughts as you will
I loved the intro with the harmonics and the pulse/almost durge bass thing (cool shit
)
I kinda wanted more crunch and punch and impact on the dynamc changes to the hard sections. I thought the vox sat ok in the softer sections but lost some presence and push in the hard parts. I'd push up the back vox for sure and maybe try and make the vox sit more upright in the hard parts.
I don't claim any knowlege on drums but, I thought the kick and snare could come up and be known.
Great song dude!!
On a pure production note: how about repeating that bass pulse/durge thang (that first appeared around :26) for the outro as well?
Again,
Well written, tracked and mixed song.
Peace and humility,
Theron.

The acoustic guitars are very high-end heavy. They lack some warmth (I'm no expert on mixing acoustic guitars, so you might want to forget my comment on this 
). There's some problems with drum mixing, but as you said, it's already been discussed so I won't say anything
The melodies are good. I like the distortion guitar attack-thingies. I imagine this would do well on radio, but what do I know. Of course you'd have to polish the mix a bit. At least the drums. I still enjoy the hooks and the overall feel of the song.

What everyone else is saying. Not enouph low end or body to the music. Vocals sound ok, but to dry. they dont fit with the music. I like the tune though and you have cool voice. I would remix it and push the drums up a little more. take the vocals back a little. I would really like to hear those drums.

Update;
I'm sitting on the remixes due to some issues needing to be resolved in the band...............e.g: a drummer and bassplayer who whilst professing their belief in this band and the material, aren't committed enough to give up some time from their covers bands so that gigs can be booked and this material showcased.
These two guys seem to expect success to come up and tap them on the shoulder without making any effort.

Sorry to hear that...but is your gear being held hostage by one or both of them? lol.ausrock said:
I find that nothing brings a band together like a kickass demo,
Good luck.
Bummer.
Been there, dealt with that.
It's tough when you have band members who depend on cover gigs to make a living. People get locked into where/what they're playing because they have to, not want to. Then they get jaded. The creative members then get insulted because the others are"not into it".
Good luck!

Chris,
My gear is MY gear.
Unfortunately, in this case, I doubt that anything will change the resolve of my son (lead) and the singer/songwriter to "rectify" this issue......probably later today.
There is going to be one bruised ego in particular , and what makes it more difficult, is that my son and the bass player have played in bands together for over four years and I see that friendship being sorely tested.
M.B.
Both these guys have day jobs, so their cover band income is the cream on top..................it's more a case of them being afraid to leave their respective comfort zones.
