Description : This has been in my Pop Folder for a while now so I thought I would get some feedback.
Drums are EZ Drummer. The rest is me on guitar, bass, keyboards...and unfortunately vocals. :)

Good verse, needs a chord change for the chorus. maybe Eb to Abmin to eb to Bb. Just an idea.

Thanks, Cru...I will see what I can do. Definitely needs a change or two to mix it up.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Cool track, reminded me of early Ministry and INXS mixed together. I like the git work along side the keys, nice job so far with that. What EZ kit are you using?

I feel your vocals could be louder or more centered, they seem very wide to me in the mix. I actually decrease the width of my vocals to about 90%. This way they are centered and more narrow in my mix. By doing this it helps to keep it from messing with my featured instruments' freqs which I pan wide. Then I use a short delay and a bit of reverb to give me the additional width in the mix while keeping the vocals centered and narrow. Hopefully that makes some sense, he.

Yeah, I can hear the INXS thing. Was never a Ministry person but I will take your word on it. I will have to look and see what Kit I am using here. I took your advice and centered the vocals more and bumped them up in the mix. I went with a more Trippy delay on them to add to the Vibe. Still not sure if it works. Drums and Vocals are my weakest spots. I have worked hard to try and be able to do okay vocals. Never really happy with them, though. Thanks for the feedback. I truly appreciate it.

Hey this is sweet! Really remind me of a combination of fusion and blues jam bands around the eighties or nineties. I can totally get into that vibe, though I'm not a festival-goer. The vocals and guitar jams sound especially pristine, and I enjoy that. The bass is very groovy and deep! I'd say that the only thing that gets old is the EZ Drummer... it's really mostly personal preference though. People tend to get defensive when I talk to much about that sort of thing. Everything else including composition, performance, and lyrics is GREAT!

Hey my friend, thanks for the feedback. I agree with the EZ Drummer. Besides Vocals, it is my biggest weakness. I really need to spend some time working on getting a good drum sound. This was the result of needing to do something other than Rock. A pallet cleanser if you will. :)

Thanks for giving it a listen and for the feedback. Much appreciated.

This sounds similar to what the band MGMT would compose. I love those guys ^-^

(Ooops hit the send button by accident lol) Hey Topvega I made this track my fav because I can see the potential of this really being a great tune with some minor alterations. Plus I really enjoyed "The Liveliness" of the song. Great rhythm guitar playing and I liked the "panning of the guitar" on the track. The drum track gave the song a nice lively feel.

My only advice would be, 1. Come up with a solid hook, 2.write another verse in which you can alternate from and 3. Add at least one musical change to the song.(since this is a pop song it becomes a bit redundant without a change of some sort...just my opinion). Other than that I think you have a great tune on your hands.

Best Regards

I am working on another verse as well as a change or two to break up the monotony. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
