I would appritiate you listening and commenting on my new song:

Song: R²OS - Only In My Mind

Site:
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/r2osmusic.htm

Genre: Alternative pop/rock
Influences on this song: Pixies / Blur / Smiths

Instrumentation:
_ Cakewalk Sonar 2.2
_ Fender Strat+ ( http://www.guitarbar.com/images/FenderStratPlus92Sun.jpg )
_ A crappy Bass
_ A crappy Mic.
_ A small Behringer 4 track mixer
_ Boss delay ROD-20
_ Creative Live soundcard

Worked on this for the last 3 days. The meaning was to get a Pixies/
Blur/Smiths popsound, with some chickenwire sound to it, if you know what I
mean (pardon my english, I'm from Norway).

I always review your music, if I get feedback from you.
I post this message in three groups, this and

Looking forward to hearing from you all...
 
Interesting song. I can't tell you if this really has the sound you're looking for because I don't listen to those things.

I like the guitars. They have a nice sound. But I wish the overall sound was a bit fuller. Maybe a little more bass. The drums could be brought up a little too. The song feels pretty relaxing but some of the vocals are powerfull in some spots, which I think pushing the drums a little might balance more. Not a lot. Maybe I'm an idiot though and this is the sound you are going for. The flow of the song is great though.

I like the vocals, especially around 1:42... oddly though mostly the harmonies are right on and really nice, but the last word "now" in that phrase seems a little off. They're pretty tight to me otherwise.
 
Cool tune - Here's what's tugging at my ears...

The mix as a whole, is very wide - There are some phasing problems in the guitars and vocals... It could almost get away with it, but it's contrasting hard against the drums, which sound as if they're in mono.

Pretty nifty, though.

Ok. I've removed the vibrato(sounds like phasing) from the guitar, levelled the drums some more(some of the drum mix is weakened in the 128 version, sounds better in wave). The rest of the drum sound is not great, but I like the dry sound of them...

Will post the new version tomorrow, are working on another tune right now.

Thx for listening. I will listen and review your music as well, of course...

See you later :)
