this song hits me LIKE a really loooong intro...especially with the drums coming in so late in the song. The 'tiny' gtrs (and all the other guitars wanking away in there!) sound good, and panned nicely and compliment each other very well....for the most part. I'll comment on those later. Kinda a Leprechan kinda feel to it...for some reason...maybe the sqeaky clean, high pitched soloing. The bass is really on the other end of the spectrum, comparitively with the rest of the tracks. The vocals seem to be the only thing approaching middle ground. Even when the drums come in, the song seems to end shortly thereafter...and I'm left feeling a weird sense of song structure and production just zipped thru my ears. For some reason, I miss the racous guitars you've had in the past, and a thicker, dryer, more "early Who" drum sound you've gotten in the past. Maybe, leaving out some guitars in spots might help dynamically with the song for me...rather than them all just slugging it out from beginning to end. It certainly worked with the bass coming in later at the beginning and stopping between verses. At the first bass drop out, I would have probably left a couple more guitars out too.. I also probably would have started the drums as early as :33....and come and go with the other instruments, like I said before.
One final thought on the guitars, however....they have a sound like there are about 3 or more tracks of them...same guitar all recorded one after another, even the lead one too... and they start to pile up quickly.
