I'd love to hear feedback on this.

I think I have some tweaking to do on the drum programming. Some of the stuff is still a little robotic.

Taco Night
Just got home, but everything's tight
See we made a decision about dinner tonight
We were dragging all day, but that's gonna change
Gonna get out some beef, gonna turn on the range
Ain't gonna be no Taco Bell stuff, not tonight
Everyone on the block can tell that we are doing it right
We're gonna ignite

Tacos are the dinner we have in our dreams
That stuff is even better than it actually seems
Sometimes we eat'em in a cowboy hat
They got way too much saturated fat
Don't ever need to ask her what she can endure
We're gonna make 'em hot as a reactor, that's for sure
Baby that's the cure

CHORUS
We know... It's Taco Night tonight
We know... Everything's gonna work
Just right
It's Taco Night
We haven't done it in a week, but that's alright
Because we both know, it's Taco Night tonight

Gonna turn up the pepper, how far is too far?
Gonna drive around the block in our getaway car We'll make 'em blow up thats where we set the bar
Gonna load up on beef and forget about fruit
They're perfected in Texas - we're gonna follow suit
Fire coming out mouth like a cartoon
We can eat 'em soft shell hard shell maybe even with a spoon
'Till our head goes boom

CHORUS
BRIDGE
Our tacos slay, so we purport
It's based on unconfirmed reports
It's not a crime it's just a tort
Oh yeah

The drum part's right. I think the only way to make it better is play it live.

If you don't sell this to a taco company for an ad, somebody's missing out lol.
 
Clever lyrics ( as always :>) ) . Nice tone on guitars, crunchy with a bit of jangle. Chorus is catchy, bridge is well placed, dig the claps on the ending chorus. If I had to nit, I would say add a bit of low end to the overall sound , but thats personal taste. This is a power pop jam, I really like it!
 
Thanks everyone for your help.

I'll give the low end one more review against a pro mix before I call it done.
 
Hey Trip haven't heard your stuff in a while. Good to see you still grooving the power pop. My only nit is the snare could use a little more snap, It's cutting through fine but could be brightened up a tad. Great lyrics :D
 
I remember you TripleM

Sounds good, reminded me of the Ramones off the start but settled into your own thing after.

Might be worth trying some 8th notes on the bass guitar line to drive the song along maybe? Bass is kinda static as
is.

Retro, I like it.

Listening on earbuds, so take that into account. I like your vocals, the harmony is stellar. 👍🏼 Overall I’m hearing a bit too much high end and not enough bottom. Handclaps are a nice touch. Rhythym guitars might be just a smidge loud in the mix in parts.

Good work.
