I was thinking - hmm... cool intro, and then kind of a neat mosquito-like effect, then I heard it was a vocal!!! That intro vocal needs to come out a lot more - I realize it's supposed to be background, but it's so buried, what's the point of it even being there?

You also got some funky mid-heavy bass happening -- needs tightening.... also, there are occasional bass "peaks" (kind of a "whup-whup" sound) that jump out randomly - something you may not be hearing out of your monitors....

Overall - not bad -- I don't care for the main vocal sound -- a bit too edgy shrill....

Interesting tune though!

yeah, listening now I don't like it anymore either on the verses...gonna need more work....
 
Not my 'cup of tea' as far as musical style is concerned, but from an objective mixing standpoint, I feel some of the panning is a bit too extreme. Maybe pull a few of those parts that are hard left and right in just a tad, or maybe use some verb or delay to fill the opposite side a bit.

I agree the bottom end needs some tweaking - I think I heard some of that mid-bottom end 'whup-whup' in the acoustic guitar?

Shave a bit of 3-5khz off the main vocal to get rid of that shrill sound and it'll clean up nicely.

This next opinion is completely subjective - Not sure I like the ambience of the whole track...It's intimate, but maybe too much so...Almost like it's in a closet. Maybe you're going for that feel, but seems a bit too constricting to me.

A little tweaking, and it'll be there. :)

and I'm not supposed to laugh my butt off with that kind of comment??:eek:

yeah....there are some "pointed" frequency spikes in there....ouch...in the headphones...!!

crazy tune however....if that's good or bad...
 
Maybe it's just me, but is there a wrong bass note you keep hitting? or out of tune on that one note? I don't know, when the chorus came in I would have liked it to get heavier like it 'almost' did. Interesting song but I couldnt listen to it more than once.

yeah I agree with sabbath, the last bass note sounds off, and it needs more power in the "chorus" part. Sounds intersesting tho, the piano is pretty freaky.
