the vocal sounded like a battery powered cookie monster doll i just bought for my year and a half old grandaughter. it kinda scared her at first but then she got her hands on it and it broke!the backup sounded tight but it didn't sound like it was in the same rom as the vocal.it's not my kind of thang but there is an ear for every sound so if you like it do it doit doit!!!!!

Not my thing, but not bad. Tight. The vocals are buried though and kinda muddy - they are hard to hear. Keep it up.

hahaaaaaa genious


on a more constructive note, i would say that the track sounds like it gels together apart from the vocals. the actual mix of the drums/bass/guitars isnt bad, but its as if youve spent time mixing that, then found a cheap mic and recorded some vocals and just overlayed them onto an already mixed (or perhaps unmixed) track.
you need to make space for those vocals in the other tracks. the vocals sound very harsh and thin - perhaps some nice tape saturation would help to warrrmmm things up. it sounds like they lack body but sound a bit muddy at the same time. eq will help you here. i think a bit more compression on the vocals would help

guitar and bass sounds are very good and polished sounding, lead tone as well. drums I suppose are good but they do seem to scream "programmed" though that might just be note choice as opposed to the sound of them.

i don't care for the vocals... it sounds like hes not really growling hes just talking in an odd tone... like there's no vibration/gurgling sound if you know what i mean. the ones at 1:06 to 1:20 sound much better, though they still sit a little bit odd in the mix and I'm not sure why. Do you have any delay or reverb on them? (if not you should put a little bit on and that should help)

as a song i'm not particularly compelled, it seems to be lacking dynamic changes and runs on the same repetitive atonal dimension the whole way through. like there's no riff or section that I feel is very powerful or that I hold onto... it just chugs along. and the vocals aren't helping... the delivery seems flat and unenergetic and also they are totally indecipherable...

i feel like im being very harsh, possibly I am dwelling unfairly on the negatives, but I mean yeah you've obviously got some skill and you've got very powerful production quality, just keep writing, and of course this is all subjective so above all if you're liking it go with it!
