Sort of curious what you guys think of the song in general.
How do the drums sound?
Mixing isn't the best, but I'll take whatever comments/criticism you guys can throw at me.

Thanks guys.

I think it's pretty cool hey.

Maybe too much gain on the guitars, a bit less would give a bit more clarity but it's tough with tapping hehe. Maybe it's not the gain but the blown out/broken fuzz type of sound, maybe try something a little smoother?

I reckon you could maybe add in another rhythm guitar track under the tapping parts to beef it up. Sounds a bit empty at the start and end, if you know what I mean.

Ah and I think the guitar is slipping a bit out of key in first bit of the middle section, or the chords need tweaking (but the next half, the octave part is cool as though).

I don't really know much about mixing drums or anything so I'll leave it at that.

Good stuff!

Hey, Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I love that guitar tone, but maybe I'll experiment a little. I'll look into the out of key, maybe re-record some parts, and then definitely think about adding rhythm guitar in parts. The only thing is that this song is for the band I'm in...we're a 2-piece band, guitar/drums, so I try to make the recordings similar to the live show, which doesn't even have bass, but yeah.
I'll look into it, see what I can come up with.

Thanks for the comments.

Oof. Sorry man. I just googled free audio uploads and what not and that's what I got.

You can always listen through the myspace if you need.
Sorry about that.
