Thanks all for listening and the excellent comments!
I agree with all the criticisms, literally the last thing i did to the mix was brighten up the drums and distort them as a whole...
famous beagle, the lyrics...yes i know what you mean, i steered him in that direction early in the process, there's a line "virtual viral a download spiral" which was boiled down from a more wordy real word line like you pointed out. After a while i just had to let him do what he does and be happy he's willing to do it at all. We have many songs we've done together and both realized this is kind of a filler song to expand the catalog, not get too precious about it and move on...
Papante- the guitar part is pretty much an excercise to play an open G at all times, there's like one A chord in the whole song cycle that doesn't have the open G, so yeah the guitar part has a bias : ) Robin Zander-yes for sure haven't heard that before but same range and similar tone.
Thanks all
