Better drum mixing than on your last one with the panning snare / kick. Weird'o keyboard solos again. Your music is just so dark, that it kinda fits there. I'm still not too crazy about the synth sound of it, but I guess there's not a perfect sound when playing keyboard solos (well, except for a Jon Lord-type of thing
).
Your vocals sound too far back on this. Maybe make them louder or lose some of the reverb. Maybe you meant for the middle section vocals to be more quiet, but I'd like to hear them louder. That little bit at 2:55 reminded me very much of the intro of "Damage Inc." and that one song intro by Ozzy. I can't remember, but it was a song from "The Ultimate Sin" album. Your other synth sounds are pretty good. Those dark low sweeps are lovely. The solo keyboard still needs some getting used to.
Songwriting-wise I'm not going to tell you how to write a song, since you can do it
I may not always agree on the song arrangements, but the more I listen, the more I start to like the changes and moods in your songs, and also (sometimes) the lack of bridges. I guess it keeps the listener on his/her toes more. A good song with good vocal harmonies again. The guitar solos could be louder, but I tend to mix my solos too loud sometimes, so it may be a preference thing also.
And about the bass... No, not too much in my opinion. I think it's about right. Wicked interplay between rhythm guitar and that weird synth-thing at 1:38..
-EDIT-
The 4:15 section is cool also.. a bit like one section of "Fly on the Windshield" by Genesis (I'm always comparing songs to different songs, don't ask me why
) Those kinda backward sounding synths or something.
(I hope my comments weren't too messy, since I was typing as I listened a few times)
