Vocal levels - mix feedback (POP PUNK)

[Big Thier]

Hi,

24 bit WAV: removed link

I was hoping to get some feedback on my next single which should get released in December. Literally no one has heard this yet, so please don't share it etc.

I want to get opinions on my vocal levels: are they too loud, perfect, or too quiet? I personally find them a tad too loud, but I have often received comments about my vocals being too quiet in the past, so I turned them up on this song.

Anything else I can polish?

Thank you very much in advance.

My initial response was they were too low at the beginning, when the guitars were raging (I liked that raging, BTW). Then it cleared up @ :30 - they're loud enough from that point.

I'm conflicted about them being low at the start. When I consider the song structure, I reinterpret the vocal more as another instrument just raging away with the guitars at that point. So that makes it alright they're a bit buried there. IMHO..

Vocal levels seem pretty well spot on to me

Think you found the sweet spot man.

I think the guitar is crushing everything else. If you back off those, and maybe take a bit of edge off the sound, it might set better with the rest of the mix.
