Is this good?

Post by Stephen B. » Thu Dec 08, 2005 2:04 pm

This song is from my band Bright Size Life's new EP.

Get Out

I think it's brilliant, but I'm biased.

Not my style, but the production is nice!

I think the snare could be more present. It sounds too distant to me. The ritard at 3:02 sounds kinda clumsy. Actually, on listening to it again, I think if you could line up the bass and snare that are slightly off at 3:04, it'd sound better.

Other than that, nice work.

Rockin'. Plus I like the C.S. Lewis quote.

Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the time issue mentioned, I didn't really scrutinze small details like that because I was so pleased with that take, but I could see how that would tighten it up a little. Rhodes, drums, and bass were cut live, and they nailed the grove on that one.

good tune and decent take

Man, thats a great tune!
I agree there's a couple loose places in there but the overall take is awesome.
Good lyrics and tension building throughout with the instrumentation.
Keep it up!
Rock on!!! :D
