Good guitar sounds. Drums are too busy for my liking. I'd like to hear it with a solid 4 on the floor during the verses, then break into the busier stuff on the bridge and/or chorus parts. The vocals are great and the backing vox are superb. Nice break down at 2.30. Mix sounds good on my nasty speakers. Good old fashioned rocker

Thanx BH!
Yeah the drums could be be a bit calmer I guess. We'll see......;)
 
Freakin' great sounds. Powerful pounding and creamy guits. Great mix and pans. Only nit was how the figure coming out of the break stepped on the word 'paradise'. A whopper of a recording.

Thanx for the comments, Jeff! :)
Which part was that exactly?
 
IIRC, it's at the ends of the choruses.....blah blah 'paradise'....in the silence. The opening of the riff starts halfway through the word. I thought it might be gut-punchier if the riff picked up at the end of the word, or the breakdown silence continued for a couple beats or a measure, allowing the riff to resume in-full without stepping on the big hook word....an edit. That's all.

Aha...Ok, I get it. I just thought that that the word Paradise would come out stronger if all 3 syllables were accentuated with the instruments.
 
Yeah...I can think that it would work in my own head; but listening first-time and raw to ears, it really stole the impact of the word...instead of adding to it, I thought. And that moment is the official orgasmic moment, maybe. Edit in another four beats, and do some bluesy dirty-talkin'? :^)
 
Wow! An epic! Mix is great & the vocals & guitar playing are outstanding. Two things I noticed - The drums are very quantized-sounding - a little bit too robotic for my taste (but they sound great). Also, as I'm listening on my studio monitors with sub, there is a little too much sub bass happening for a rock mix, but nothing that a bit of high-passing wouldn't deal with. Great job!

Thanx man!
I've noticed that too with the bass, but I'll take care of that. Actually I don't use ready made loops when I prgramme the drums and never quantise. But I did have quite a few roll fills in the track so that might be making it sound too robotic.

On a fun note, here's one of my takes- breaking a string on that first bend.

This sounds awsome guys.

this is Pure Dio metal for me, and very well done:cool:
I have no nits with the mix or preformance, sounds solid.
Cool shreds by Sirn:cool:

Thanx Nak!
SirN has decided to use barbed wire for springs from now on.......:D
 
Joey,

A ferociously SBS intro.
Any chance of getting Rick Wakeman to do his thing for you like he did for them? I don't think you need it mind you as your arrangement has enough going on to hold interest over repeated listens.
I like the delay/echo on the end of vocal lines - that's really 70's metal.
What I like about Sir N's solo is the fact that it isn't really shredding - it's soloing - well done N!
I really lke the extended edge on your voice - you emote & as a result stretch the vocal chords rather than sing confortably & neutrally within your range.
No nits from me because this song is a complete package - I know you've laboured over it but you haven't worked it to death - it have energy & life.
Well done in knowing when to walk away.
