I like the instrumentation. Your drummer does a good job of "setting the tone" of the song. I would like to hear the vocals a little more front and center.. less reverb. Maybe have the vocals running clean and loud and just send a delayed track to the verb.

Great work!
I get satisfaction of three kinds. One is creating something, one is being paid for it and one is the feeling that I haven?t just been sitting on my ass all afternoon.

That is a nice song. I'd have to agree with see above on the Vocals. I'd like to see them brought out a bit. They seemed buried by everything else. Other than that this sounds really good. I enjoyed listening to it thanks.
For some good new music check out The Medusas

Beautiful guitar tone! I enjoyed the song a lot...and I really like the drum sound too. I do agree with the others about the vocals. Got any more mp3's??

Listened to the first one, very cool song. Love the tension that's building in it. I liked the vocal sound the way it was, sort of pulled back... maybe bring up the bass a little bit? Just to make the harmonic interaction more apparent.

But yeah, thumbs up!

I'm having difficulty with the intelligibility of the vocals. I can hear them, but I have to strain a little to try to understand what you're saying. I think the engineer went a little overboard on the effect, and probably just a few minor adjustments would make the vocals sound really good. The style sounds alot like most of the "pop" bands I hear, sort of radiohead influenced, which isn't to my liking, but it seems to be what's popular. Definitely shows potential -- with a couple of cute haircuts, you guys shouldn't have any problem getting a record deal.
