you messed up a bunch of times
 
I think it sounds like a garage band recorded during a practice. What really stand out is the overall sloppy playing. I think the drummer needs to tighten up and get steady, he's all over the place, which throws eveyone else off.
 
This genre should have died with Blink 182, I really wish you and bands like you would stop trying to perpetuate the musical travesty that is pop punk.

Its great your getting involved with playing music, playing with other musicians, and taking a stab at recording, but I really think your time and energy could be better served by producing a slightly more original and more meaningful product that better represents your ability as a musician and as a song writer. I also think that as you progress in all the afore mentioned areas you will eventually realize this.

One word of advice though. If you do choose to continue to play this simplistic, musically void remnant of a long dead genre transformed to the will of teenage suburbanites who cannot get dates, I would urge you to always focus on your own personal development either as a musician, songwriter, engineer, or all three. Just because people can get on MTV by playing three chords, three different ways, for three minutes doesn't mean you should. It was never acceptable to suck, and it never will. It just seems to be a fad right now.
 
yea well either way, i like it, so who really cares? theres so many opinions out there and its the dummest thing ive ever heard for anyone to try to change anothers style. its the way they wanna play, and if u dont like it, then ignore it. no matter wat there will always be others that a dont like specific things. there is no right and wrong. opinions are opinions and no 2 ppl have the same opinions on any given thing. but its jus plain out ridiculous for anyone to ask someone to change their style. its not like thats the only thing i play, but thats the kind of music i like to play. and wat it comes down to is my own taste, bc there will alwyas be ppl like you who hate the music i play because its labeled "pop punk."


but anyway, wat dont u like about the recording?
 
ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER.

Do you speak it?

Anyway, you asked for opinions so go change your tampon and shut your mouth.

PLUS: if you can't even play your instruments right then don't expect anyone to ever care about your music
 
You are 100% correct. My remarks are completely my own opinion, as are all of my postings. I was merely stating it. But more objectively, without labeling your band, the song is fairly simple musically. That’s not inherently good or bad, like you said. What I am suggesting though, is that even if you play/write/record music that is not always the most demanding of your ability, that you still continue to challenge your self and progress.

I have been in several bands in the past where it was very easy to become comfortable with the genre/style we played. I'd get more into the band than my personal development. Then when the shit hits the fan and the lead singer breaks up with the guitarist and your bands goes to hell, all the time and effort you put into the band is gone and your only left with what you got out of the experience and your talent/musical ability.
 
wow dude you're a genius. all simple music sucks!

"won't get fooled again" by The Who is only 3 chords

that means it sucks right?!?!?!
 
You know HangDOG, that doesn't bother me. I've passed it around many times and I think it's great. It's not even me singing. I used to jam with this guy and I wrote that song and told him I would record him playing it and it would be awesome. After that I just burned it and played it for all our friends while we pointed and laughed at him. He quit the band but whatever! Also, since I'm technically the best at jokes, your insults are looking pretty lame.

Your jokes are gay, and so are you. I think the butthumper song proves it.
 
You internet crybabies never learn. I just told that it's not me singing, so you insulted me about it being me again. Worse comeback ever invented 0 out of 5 stars
 
either way, seifers an idiot. has nuttin better to do but insult people all day...just to keep the image.

but anyway, yea the song is pretty simple, but i guess i was shooting more for the catchyness of the song...what you think about that?

but other than that, once again, what do u think of the recording?

That would be "Worst"...

Learn English before you rip into others about that, Skippy.

It's infants like yourself that keeps me from even visiting this site much anymore.

It's almost like a college that was transformed into a daycare center within a few months.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is three chords, eh?

You must be an excellent musician yourself....
There are WAY more than three chords in that song, chief.

Dumass...Props to you for answering that Heifer guy with class.


HangDawg...Sick em!!!!

...and another one proves my point for me (again)

yeah, the song has more chords in the chorus and there is a key change, but that was pretty irrelevant so I left it out. The world famous riff is only 3 chords, and the rest of the changes are just bar chords and other simple little things from our boy PETE.

None of you have any idea what my musical background is, so give me a fucking break.
 
OK, I listened again... the mix is top heavy, lots of cymbals and high end, but I can't hear the kick drum and the bass sounds hollow. The vocals don't sit or blend well, it sounds like they were recorded at a different location, plus the vocals need to be brought louder.

Hey, keep playing and having fun, but even this type of music requires good timing and playing, so work on those things. Recording your performances is a good idea because you can listen to them later and hear the mistakes and timing issues.

I remember when I was in a band, we recorded some practice stuff and when we listened to our 'recording' ... man, we really stunk up the joint. But while we were playing, it sounded great, to us anyway. Its hard to be objective and really listen to yourself with a critical ear.

At this stage in your musical career, recording should just be a tool to hear what you really sound like, not to get other people to listen to you. Just my opinion, but you know I'm right. later
