I wrote and tracked this last summer, but I lost interest and never finished it up. Now that we're in the middle of winter it seems like as good a time as any to dust it off and try to make something out of it. :facepalm: :drunk:



I'm on the fence about a few things with the mix. I wanna see if anyone else mentions them. Let me know what you think. :thumbs up:

Thanks,
Greg

Fat chicks lying in the sun
Skin cancer for everyone

That's a fun tune. Got a great vibe to it.

Personally I'd like to hear the bass drum come down slightly and the bass guitar come up. The bassline is great but a little too low. But then again, I'm a bassist and I like loud bass.

Other than that, I think it's great.
 
I don't know Gerg, sounds pretty good to me. Great punchy drum sounds, just like this type of tune seems to need. I hear the bass and guitars just fine, and vocals are easy to understand without being outside the mix. If my tunes turned out like this, I might actually stil try and record some of my ideas...:D

Good tune. I like it. :thumbs up:

Lol. Why?
 
Because I listened and couldnt find anything majorly wrong!


Nice job.
 
Ramone's-ish after it kicks in. Love the energy. Drums and guitars sound great. Not sure I like the bass tone yet. Might be one of those things that has to grow on me.

The backing "whoo's" get a little shaky. Just a little.
 
This is fantastic!

I like the bass tone, though my recent posts indicate that I'm more flexible than most. If there's anything shaky (and there isn't to me), I like it the way it is. What do you want, over-processed pop?!

Really liking the bass, but really what makes this a masterpiece is that seagull! Really sounds like a black hood.. Punch them in the kidney and they'll give you that infamous 'squaaawk!' which has found its way into so many classic recordings!

Lol. What?

Thanks for listening though. :D
 
Got that Ramones vibe. REAL high energy. Makes me wanna do a stage dive. Mix is just right. I like the feedback on the outro. Pretty cool sir.
 
Nice! The only nit I really spotted was the pitchiness on the "whoos".

Also, no matter what Soundcloud says, you sound nothing like Alicia Keys or Sigur Ros. :D

Lol. Thanks for listening. And WTF? Does soundcloud really say something like that? I mean, Alicia Keys maybe, we are very similar, but who the fuck is Sigur Ros?

Sigur Ros are an orchestral/post rock type band from Iceland. Man, I reckon you'd hate 'em - you sound more like Alicia Keys :laughings:

I listened hard to try and pick out the parts you might have had mix reservations over. Other than the backing vocals, which I didn't reckon were too much of an issue, the only thing I heard was a small hiccup around 20secs on the beach sample. Might just have been my PC or soundcloud encoding, but might also have been a join in the sample. I dunno?

Mix sounds great as usual - if the oil ever dries up I reckon you could power America with that guitar sound.

Yeah it did. can't remember for sure, but it was something like: "If you like this artist, you might also like Alicia Keys." It was good for a chuckle. SoundCloud rocks.

Thanks dude. The ocean sounds was just something I swiped off youtube. I had reservations about using it at all because it's pretty pointless and dumb, but it sort of went with the peaceful intro so I ran with it..

What would be equally as funny is if Alicia Keys' fans somewhere are going "what the fuck is a Gregor The Terror"? :D
