They have a preview track play now. So download it only if you really like it, but this isn't the final version.
 
Hmmm, doesn't sound bad. I don't like the hard panning of the shaker and the tambourine. Bring those in to about 40% panned. That way you get some separation. When you pan them hard, it distracts people away from the actual song. The acoustic can come up a bit. The vocals sound good for the song. This might sound cool with an upright bass track, or even a simple bass free VST plug in. Just something to put in some low end. Cool song, I liked it.
 
Agree about the hard panning, place them a little more toward the centre.
I agree that the acoustic guitar could be brought up a little more and I also agree that it needs some low end.
Nice song, has a bit of a 60's vibe to it.

I like the vocals. the song could use a bridge, the arrangement hangs on the same chords a bit long. Overall I like it, you could beef it up a bit to get a more Pulp Fiction type sound production.
 
I like the comments. I'm glad everyone liked the vocal track, as I spent the most time on that. I will end up recording it over again anyway because I'm not satisfied with that aspect, but none the less, at least I achieved a point to move forward from.

You guys must have a much better speaker system than I do, as I haven't listened to this in a car, so I can not hear the panning as strong as my settings have it. My headphones are broken, so I miss a lot, but I completely understand the panning, as I haven't even adjusted it beyond what I could hear through my stereo.

I'll raise the guitar and adjust everything soon, and re-post this song.

Thanks for commenting.
 
O, I forgot about the bridge. There is a part in there that I have an idea for, I just haven't written it yet, but that was very observant. This started as just an experiment with percussion, and I turned it into a song, so it's actually only partly written, but the timing on the drums is there to do so. I'll record a new version eventually, but for now I want to get the lyrics/vocals down and then record it again. Thanks for noticing that though, it reminds me to correct it.
 
It's good nopoetic, I enjoyed it. Agree on the percussion though - the panning does sound too hard. With a little less separation, I think it will will settle into a better groove.
