This one's aimed at George Dubbya

Really great man.....the only thing I'd like is for that low-fi intro to be a bit louder. I had to turn it up a lot to hear what's being said and when the music came in it was blasting. Other than that.....it's just a fine song and recording.

SALUTE!!!

Very very good.

Great vocal performance, excellent drum programming, intricate songwriting, especially the chorus.

Only a very few mixing comments:

I'd like to hear the bass a wee bit louder, just a touch.

The hard-panned "arpeggio" guitars soud slightly too "up-front". Maybe bring them in slightly (about 3/4 panned instaed of hard-panned) or slightly increase the reverb, or even lower the volume very slightly?

But these are just nit-picks. It's a great piece of work. And I really like the intro.

Cheers

The snare has a weird distant quality to it. I'm not sure I dig it. The toms are great and huge. The chorus part has a strange disjointed drum part. I'm not sure if it works. To me it sounds a bit weird, but you don't seem to do standard drum tracks anyway so it's cool. Vocals are great. The whole song just doesn't flow that good to me. There's great stuff here, but I think the drum thing makes it hard to follow. Might be one of those songs that I'd have to listen more. Still a great song.

Terrific production as always. I liked the guitars on this - both their tonal qualities and the way the parts played off each other. Smoother harmonies on this one than I recall hearing from you before.

Is there a pop at about 2:08? I suppose if I weren't lazy, I'd re-download it to see if it were a glitch there. But I heard something...

Aside from the fact that I've heard enough political songs to last me 10 lifetimes I liked it. I've written political lines in 3 or 4 songs, but I always go back and replace them. I'm a wussy.
