An interesting rock take on this one. The smoother section at 1:06 works very well on this, and might have been a better direction to take the whole piece, with the guitar being less riff-ish as you’ve done just afterward. That bass line is good. I like a good riff as much as the next person, but every time you go heavier it works less well for me. Still, an interesting angle on this one.

I rather like the heavy guitar riff stuff myself, I just wish it was more “front/neutral” instead of seeming so backgroud. The clean guitars seem so much louder.
Did you do all the guitar parts yourself? |

Very nice rock take. Quite enjoyable. I appreciate the direction and feel. It does seem to hang together a little loosely or be somehow unfinished though. I can’t quite put my finger on what gives the impression however. It is a great effort, it just feels like it’s yearning for a little more flesh on its bones or perhaps the transitions need a little attention.

As others have mentioned, the piece does need more work. I haven’t even listened to it in a while. I think I will do just that and see what tweaks I might make. I tried to contrast the demure vocals with a kind of “hard core” backing but I now think there needs to be more balance between the two…. thanks for the comments! This is what allows an artist to improve—healthy, honest criticism. |
