I know the singing sucks. I was just messing around at first but it turned out better than I thought so I'll most likely go back and redo the vox when i get a little better.

Drums are EZdrummer (kinda boring, I know)
The rest is all me. The guitar is DI'd out of my marshall 30w's line out, the speaker blew when used it to put a bassline down on a friends song (it didn't seem that loud) . The bass is DI'd right into my mbox.

Any obvious problems?

I mixed on headphones only so I'm sure it will sound like crap to some of you with nice rooms.

Doesn't sound too bad. Guitars sound kind of fuzzy - like they were done direct. Thumpy bass sounds good. The weird vox panning at the beginning and thick wetness during the song is kind of distracting. Lots of pitch problems too. Cool song to cover though.

Rik Ocasek wasnt exactly Pavarotti.;)

Its good. It seems a little wet, too much reverb. Drums are fine, they could be a bit louder. You might want to try an effect like vocoder, flange etc on the vocals. The ending sucks, sorry.:D Try a better fadeout.;)
 
I like the heaviness of this when the bass and drums kick in...the vocal kinda grew on me...I think you did a pretty cool job especially without all the synths on the original..Like your guitar tone on the solos...
 
Sounds good, but you should pick a key that works for the vocals and then go from there.

Just guessing that the guitar riff was suited for a particular key or open chording position, and you went from there?

I do the same thing, but the vocals come first. (exactly why I don't do vocals)

Love the cars, nice to hear someone else digs them too.
