Slow, heavily reverbed drums are always a nice way to start. Very nice, clean bassline. Vocals are great without a lot of actual singing. Delivery is fantastic. Some lyrics supplied would be cool. Mix is really great. Guitar starting at 2:30 has a few distracting moments, but that's not too much to complain about. Maybe just a bit too bright there. Man, this sounds SO much more professional than anything I've done. Really good stuff. I don't favorite much, but this track gets it!

Take care.

I'm digging this a great deal. Some of it reminds me of "Gravity" by A Perfect Circle. Great guitar tones and a good deal of power. Distorted bass is nice as well.

Good stuff. There is not a lot of heavy on this site.

Evan

This is rather good for assembled loops. Drums are a bit too dry, and there seems to be no bass guitar supplying any real low end. Left channel has a bit of mud or bad midrange,.... but this is all really, really good. I'm not knocking it at all, just mentioning a few things that could make this even better. Good stuff. Guitar is mean as hell!

Evan

First track?
Pretty good and really catchy. I like the melody. It put a smile on my face. This was much better than a first track has a right to be. Good job!

Right off I'll tell you, Dub is not something I ever will seek out, but figured I'd give you a listen. This is really very good. Everything is clear as hell and there are no cheap feeling sounds. Too short, but man I really enjoyed this track. Vocals are clear and not negative, and for some reason made me think a bit of Ed Sheeran in the phrasing.

Really, some of the more professional sounding stuff I've heard here. Good stuff!

Take care.

Damn fine job in this intro. Timing issues sound like two guitarists playing together without a metronome.

Vocals are haunting and very storyteller like. Reverse elements are pretty well placed and rather effective. This is like a sad moment sung by a soul in limbo.

All I can add is that you should continue this with some new additions. Give us another minute or two. Good stuff. Not polished, but I think some things are better patinated.

Evan

I like this quite a bit. Wishing the first half was as loud and clear as the second. The guitar solo is pretry quiet, but really, the solo sounds kinda sloppy and needs to be hidden. Sounded improvised and could be made much better with some planning. Overall, I dig it. Good feel throughout.

Ahhh,... tracks like this are what I love about this site. Simple, but it will be stuck in my head all day.

You may like the song "The Creature Lives" by Mastodon. Equally quirky. It's about sympathizing with the stigmatized creature from the black lagoon.

Some of the best guitar playing and tone this site has seen in a long while. Very heartfelt and sentimental, with a lead tone to lust over. Nice bit of tapping and all around great stuff. I dig it!

Evan

I like what you have here. Reminds me of Frampton. Songwriting is good, as is the instrumentation.

The only constructive criticism I have for you is in the vocals. Sounds like the signal is clipping a lot. kind of ruins everything. If the vocal track were cleaner, this would sound rather professional, though I like what you've written.

Take care.

Greetings, Mr. F.

Vocals clip pretty hard, though I do like them.

I'm usually a rock guy, so maybe you could tell me, with the ducking, is there a filter on the compressor that can effect less of the low-end? It was pretty extreme and off-putting, though I liked the line that was being played.

This is coming from a non-edm guy, so don't consider this as real criticism. Just wondering.

Take care.

Evan

Greetings, Mr. J.

It's always a shock to hear someone's vocals on my tracks. I didn't really leave much space for vocals by always playing some kind of lead line, but you seemed to have squeezed them in there!

Your singing reminds me a bit of Bob Dylan meets Golden Earring. Interesting.

I figured you would have lowered the music's volume at times but you did not. That might help the vocals come out a bit more.

Good stuff. Had fun listening!

Greetings, Angstofnorthland.

I like the flangey guitars in the intro. sound clip is mixed in well.

This bad boy is compressed to the max! Guitars come in and seem a bit muddy and bassy. Seems like there is a lot of lows and some low-mids that need to be cut for more clarity. Put a mid-scoop on the master and see if you like what it does to the clarity.

Vocals move the song along, though pretty pitchy. I like the writing of everything, so far!

1:12- The crashing cymbal on the left ends abruptly and sounds unnatural. Cant that be extended or delay added to it to help it taper better?

1:14- A lot of static popping sounds. Pretty sure this is the sound of clipping. Something is maxed out here, and I think the compressor is the culprit.

2:42- This is awesome. Would love to hear more of that in the track. Very nice tone and it works well with the different elements.

3:42- Going pretty Megadeth there. Nice contrast.

A lot of this is pretty damn impressive! Only issues are mix and some of the vocal notes, which really is just me being picky. I like getting constructive feedback, so I figure others do, as well.

Evan

Hello.

Well, this is some pretty heavy stuff here. Sounds like it was written for radio.

Tones all work well together.Deep chugging and some nice alternate picking skills. Several 1-2 measure breaks to keep it interesting. Some of the bass' rattle bakes it sound fake, but your profile says you play bass. I'll assume it's real.

This one wants vocals pretty bad. Hope you get some help there. I enjoyed the listen. I'm into more progressive stuff, but this was satisfyingly heavy and aggressive. Thanks.

Evan

Again, you make "Sad and lonely" sound really good. Brado's loops seem right up your alley.

The vocals are great, right up my alley, and do a great job of painting a picture. Could be a bit louder in parts, since they are the main focus, but I don't feel robbed of anything here. Always good to hear your voice. My favorite on this site. Would love to hear it on something of mine, but my music is not fitting to showcase your voice. You deserve better.

Thank you again for sharing. Favorited.
