Sounds real good bro.

From what I can remember the chorus sounds better on this one, vocals could be a tiny bit higher for my taste. (overall)

Overall sounds great, anything in particular your concerned with?
 
Hey thanks for checking it out!
I was wondering if the lead guitar in the chorus should come up some? It's there but sounds a bit faint at times. Maybe that has to do with the attack not being heard with every pick?

And also, the vocalist feels like he was a bit off key in places. Do you hear it? I don't really because i think the performance covers it, but it is a bit nasally sometimes.

I appreciate the kind words, thanks again!
 
I think the weak point is the vocals on a couple of fronts (1) the level could come up a bit in places as it disappears into the mix here and there (2) the vocal style your singer is using is so "affected" and the enunciation is so poor as a result, that I still have not clue 1 as to what the song's about and I caught/understood an actual word only very occasionally. It's in English right?

Does this matter? I'd say yes - if you're writing catchy pop rock songs you want people to be singing with you and I don't think you'll have that with this as no-one will be able to relate what they've heard to the title, and won't pick up what the words are to sing along to.

There have been many singers who've adopted very affected vocal stylings over the years, but you can usually get a chorus or something to hang onto. I'm still clueless on this one.

Just an opinion, you can reject it if you wish.

Otherwise, sounds pretty good, drums are a little flat perhaps, but I'm listening in small headphones and can't really tell that accurately. Catchy..
 
mix and tune sound good to my ears - though as the others have said, the vocals could come up a touch. I could only make out the occasional word in the lyrics too - whether this is an issue is up to you - didn't do REM any harm in their early years, but may be more important to you.
 
Alright, that's three votes for more vocals. It will be done.

What do you mean by "affected" though? I do realize that it's hard to make out the words. I think he's sorta always been like that. Unfortunately, because we paid for studio time for all of the tracking, I'm stuck with what's there. Unless there's an enunciation plug in haha! :facepalm:

Thanks for listening!
