Excellent acoustic sound in the intro! Vocals a bit strong for me when they come in. Actually, now that the drums are in as well, it may just be that the acoustic guitar is too soft. It's almost completely lost throughout the song. This is a really nice song! Pretty good levels everywhere...

Chord progressions are a tad predictable. Nice start for an early song though. A few timing problems and a too-loud bass g. I'm more of a Slipknot, White Zombie, C.O.C. kind of fan when it comes to metal. I dont get into the Slayer sound much any more, so take my comments with a grain of salt...

Okay, I'm going to be an ass and not read any of the prior posts (you've got a long thread here!). Wow. Tight. Great chops on every instrument. Very old-school. Yngwie Malmsteen meets Slayer. I don't hear much to complain about mix-wise. Everything's amazingly clean, well-separated and played...

Nice song. Great drums! Maybe a bit prominent. Not much to complain about. A few spots where the rhythm guitars sound like they need something over them -- a vocal, a lead, a weird sound -- something. They're just kind of there, left with only the drums, no one cool to hang out with -- they...

Wow. Everybody must hate this. Yikes.

Yeah, a little low-fi, but it fits the song. Look what Ween did with it! Wish I could understand the lyrics a little better. I bet they're either hilarious, head-scratching or profound. This is a nice, unique tune. Obviously a digital setup and 20 more tracks would up the production value, but...

Wicked, deep groove. I like wicked, deep grooves. THey make me feel wicked and deep. I don't think I have the vocal skills to do justice to this. It rawks! This needs Chris Cornell pipes, IMO. Do you think he comes here? I glanced at the posts and saw some Zep references. Other than a sort...

My dream job. I'd love to work in a Natural History museum. I spent two days at the Field Museum in Chicago and lost count of the intellectual orgasms I had in there. It's not strictly a natural history museum, of course, but it had enough to keep me enthralled. And I was there when they were...

I haven't read the other posts, so sorry if I repeat anything. Excellent energy! Ooooh. Nice crunchy guitar. Somebody knows what they're doing with that thing! What the hell are you asking for our opinions for?! This is well mixed, excellently played, interestingly written. If there was...

Here's a little sample ditty I worked up a long time ago, then completely rewrote, then completely remixed after your initial comments a few months ago. Let me know if this is close to final, if you don't mind. T'anks! Did You and Mary Have Sexual Intercourse...

Wow. Thanks for the accolades, all! You really don't know what that means to me. I just went through alcohol rehab last week -- 8 days sober now and counting -- so I'm really trying to focus on my music a bit more. It's amazing how different it is to record and mix sober. A bit scary, frankly. I...

John Lennon comes to mind right off the bat. Of course, that's a good thing. :-) Nice guitar tone, but it kind of startled me when that part came in! It was just like BAM! Personally, I'd prefer a rapid crescendo there or something, maybe? Great playing though. Your voice sounds fine, but I'd...

Okay, as per your comments, I've "moistened" the vox, added some parts and tried to make the chorus "pop" a little more. I'm hoping this is close to a final mix on this one. I'm ready to put it to bed and start working on a new song. I've got five kick-ass ideas burning a hole in my pocket. Let...

Wow, your voice makes my spine tingle. Very, very nice. Everything's nice and clean and well separated in the mix. The songs are unique and clever. This is good shit. I wasn't sure which was your newest song. I just listened to a couple and really liked what I heard. Keep it up! Piltdown Man

The posts since jake's are on the money, in my opinion. He said what I didn't have time to say. I'd give them some credence, if I were you. Still a nice song, though. A few minor adjustments needed is all. You just have to expect some people here to be honest and tell you exactly what they...

Oooh. Nice piano. That sold me right away. Bit of hiss here. Don't know if that's been addressed. I love this kind of music. Who can listen to Slipknot all the time? Well, actually I could, but I love the fact that this kind of stuff is out there so that I'm not FORCED to. I'm not a big fan...

Nice intro. Good and tight, overall. It's hard to give mix advice on a song recorded from a d/v camera, so I won't attempt to. It's a cool little tune. Nice work. Embarrassingly, I have to admit to being a little disappointed. The earlier posts built this up until I was expecting to hear...

Thanks for the listen, everyone. Virtually all of your suggestions are spot-on, which is exactly why I come to this place. Honestly, I didn't expect as many positive comments as I received. This is basically unmixed (meaning all the faders are just set at one place and left, and I just used the...

Ghost: Thanks for listening. Your praise is definitely undeserved, but thank you. I hear so many flaws in this, it's depressing. But that's me, I guess. :-) Hence, the lyrics... well, and most of my other lyrics. I appreciate the fact that you'll take the time to listen. Joro: I also say...

joro Thanks for listening, joro. Little background: the whole song is about being sort of the only sane person in a world of idiocy and being held back for thinking or being different. It's a bit of hyperbole, of course. Anyway, the particular line you mention about borrowed reason, etc...
