Yea, its rare enough outside metal but Muse and The Strokes come to mind. Maybe it's too subtle...? Anyway, thanks for listening. Cheers SirN - I'm going for Neo Eighties:D

You haven't heard of distorted vocals?:confused: Thanks for listening Greg.

I will exercise a bit more restraint than I did in my post on your last song and I won't comment on the songwriting or lyrics because I know they are integral to the genre but from a performance, arrangement and and recording point of view this sounds great to me. Good job.

Sounds much better to my ears - better bass, better vocals.

Thanks guys. The song is unmastered so it may be at a lower level than we are used to but I thought it was clear enough when I last listened. The vocals are intentionally distorted on the verse and this may be effecting clarity. I think its important that you can understand the words on this...

Will do EL34 - pm you when its done.

This is the second of the current bunch of songs I'm working on and I would be very grateful for your comments. Many thanks for the great feedback on Come So Low. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=267512

Yea, I listened again in mono and the vocals were a tad too low, thanks Dave. Thanks for the compliments Jeffmaher but I'm not sure I understand you on the end of the chorus thing. Does the gap/keyboard thing not do the job of ending the chorus and bringing in the next verse quite well? I...

I think this is a very strong song. I like the sparseness of the verse giving the voice room. I'm guessing you are trying to keep it "honest" to the band/live performance by not doubling up on the guitar or adding keys, which is cool (and admirable). However there is a big drop in sound when...

Good catchy song, and it puts a :D on your face! Looking for faults, I think the bass is getting lost amongst the guitars - I'd like to hear it defined more clearly. Also, I think the first chorus could do with more definition from the verse (it's the same chords without a bridge so you're not...

Cheers PoeticIntensity, very kind! I will add a notch to the guitar!

Thanks for your comments everyone. I think this is the last mix (unless you convince me otherwise!). Hats and bass more accented, vocals lower in the mix and a few other subtle changes. http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=8833517&q=hi&newref=1

As an ex punk fan/player I think this song might work better a lot faster - but I'm sure you don't wand to go back to the drawing board so, on this version, I think the snare is too thin and, on headphones at least, the guitars sound a bit too loud and too distorted. Punk guitars are (were)...

Wow, amazing drums poeticintensity. And Studioplayer is right - this song needs real drums - not something I can provide! But I was more interested in the rhythm section as a whole and what a more rhythmic bass could do to it. So here is some GM drums and a real bass on it...

I like it. But it is a composition built on the concept of what I call the "build": Starting with a minimalist idea and adding a layer every 4 bars or whatever. The problem with this type of composition is that by the time you have built up all the layers it is difficult to leave the pattern...

Cool. Just let me know the tempo and if you could upload or send me an mp3 with no bass or drums I'm sure I could work with that.

Lovely guitar man. The rhythm section is not doing you justice. I'd be happy to try to put a rhythm section on this for you if you were interested and if we could figure a way to transfer files - never done that before.

I would have thought the fast vocals were a feature of this song and not something to be ditched at the first sign of difficulty. If someone had convinced Michael Stipe to rewrite "it's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I feel fine)" because the lyrics were too busy, the world (as we know...

I'd agree with most comments so far, good song, bouncy, catchy, etc. But I don't agree with: I think the rhythm guitars and bass are lacking substance. The solo is lovely but the rhythm guitars sound like they were plugged directly into the PC which is probably ok if you have a good amp...

This is really good shit and I think you know it. Hard to find faults: I don't like the splash cymbals in "umbilical"... Thats about it! Only problem is I think I'm listening to dEUS - No actually, that's not a problem either.
