    Drums could be compressed more for this style but are ok. The guitars are too dark, need some push around 2-4k to bring them out a bit and need to be raised in volume, same for the bass (2k brings out nice string noise on bass). Otherwise not bad at all, good performance, that's for sure!

    Very bottom heavy. If that's what you want then you nailed it.

    Drums are maybe a bit too dry. Would not hut to add some nice (understated) reverb on them.

    Like Bapu said, it does seem bottom heavy but that might be because your guitars are not "bright enough".  I'm not sure what you would do but I'd try bring those a little more up front.  If that seems reasonable then others here can help you do that.  Not really my forte.  It sounds good but that is the crit I have.  Good tune, though.

    I miss the vocals. Is it meant to be instrumental, or are we halfway through the production here? Cool riffing in "Alright now".

    Cheers

    Like the music alot.  This would be great for a gym.  Agreed the lows are really strong on my monitors.  Nice tunes man.

    As stated above, this is a song in search of vocals.  I have no problem with the low end here because if you did add vocals, it would balance out quite nicely, I think.  Otherwise, the song just needs more high end if it stays the same.  The performances are strong.  Nice job.

    All the best,
    Lynn
