I thought this sounded pretty nice. I loved those guitars - real powerful and they sounded great.

You could probably bring up the vocals a nudge.

Songwise - it's pretty long. A long intro - might be able to reduce the running time a bit? I dunno.

Good one.
 
Thanks a lot TripleM! We have a thing for long songs I guess...
 
First, the link
is not working....
These stuff is great, the song i superb, I like it.
The only thing I did´t hear is the rimshots on the verses.
It reminds me of Stone Temple Pilots or somthing...

Nice job
Rock on

Hey man, thanks for the tips! I have thought that a bit about the kick drum too.

Just for reference, what are you listening on?

sorry, I am only 2 months late in replying. I listened to it on Tannoy Reveals (active)

Thanks for your help! We're moving at the end of March, I'll probably post a couple remixes after that!
 
I am inpressed with the clarity, although maybe a bit bright in some areas already metioned. Very good pickin. To borrow a phrase from a reknowned mentor... "it needs some ass in it" down around the kick drum and bass for my taste.
 
hehe, some Ass hey?

Yeah, I have a lot of trouble judging the bass content in the room I'm in right now. Can't wait to move...hopefully I can do some acoustic treatment in the new room...
 
Overhaul is such a cool song.

The vocalist is amazing to me.

I love the drums, especially the kick.

The verse is really good. almost a wildcard in the verse. I wanted to hear a better hook in the chorus, but oh well.

Good song.
 
Hey Rick, you guys got tickets to the show of the 26th yet? (next month)

You mean the drop pipe/lost dog/action pig show? I am planning on going but I haven't got tickets yet. should be fun, I recorded a demo for one of the bands, Sounds Good on Paper.
 
You've got my phone number? I can get you tickets, they're $10, just let me know how many you need and we'll meet up.

Should be available at U of C Campus Center, Megatunes & Melodia records

Consumer thoughts here: ( not on the mix, just the tunes...)

Overhaul:

Vocals were the weakest part. Good guitars and the drummer is pretty good as well. Myself being a drummer as well, it was cool to see the accents your drummer is doing on the tune, REALLY makes a difference having a good drummer on a tune. The song drags on a bit after the 4:00 mark, perhaps consider the long version for the live show. Good stuff "overall" though. :)

ForgteenSun seems to be gone now. :)
 
Good mix. Maybe a little more reverb to polish it up.

The only other critique I have (being a drummer too) is the 'wood block in the next room' sound. Something more dynamic, maybe another snare tuned real high or low for some new funky sound would be good. I would go unique here instead of the wimpy wood block, IMHO.

Keep rockin'
 
Not a huge fan of the woodblock either...unfortunately that's our drummer's call...maybe I can add something over top of it to make it cooler.
