An Illusion - Scandalous Grace

Very catchy guys, the Prechorus could have stood as the chorus in my opinion. The chorus was more like a breakdown. 
 
Just my two scents.
(sorry for the smell of juan of them)
 
Good mix.
 
Probably your best drum programming and sounds to date Beags.

Nice one guys! Loved the words - all true. Good harmonies too! Mix sounded great!

Well done guys, sounds good this end. I like the whole vibe of this one, nice and lively. The only thing that caught my ear was around the 1minute point the backing vocals were a touch out of sync with the lead, not much and I am being super critical.

Great!  thanks Adrian!  I'll look at the BGVs and adjust it!  appreciate the comments!

mix is great - sounds like a live band take

Not really my style of song, but I liked the guitar solo a lot and it really does have a live in the studio feel.

Mix sounded fine here, as Daryl noted it does sound very much like a live take of a band.

Thanks John!  Appreciate the listen and great comments!

I like the live feel as well. You've spread those nice guitars very far wide r and l - have you tried pulling them in just a bit? And have you tried double-tracking the lead vocal for a little thickness?
 
Then again, double-tracking would just be . . . an illusion, so nevermind then!  :)
 
Stand out drums and guitars as well. 
 
cheers,

Thanks Tom!  Most of my mixes usually have the guitars pulled in some and not panned hard, but this one I decided to do this way like a lot of the older rock was done.  I did not try double tracking the vocal, I often have a difficult time with that effect sounding right to me, but I will consider trying it again.
 
thanks again!

It also has a "live" feel to me and I like that.  Good stuff guys. Nice one!!!

Starise- Thank you for listening and commenting. 
 
I know that Reece is usually going for more of a modern worship feel to his songs.  Modern worship has gone in a very Pop/ Rock direction to appeal more to the younger members.  The days of Grandma's pipe organ are diminishing.  Personally, I like the modern approach, it makes playing as a part of the band from week to week, much more interesting.   
 
I would say that both Sean and I have slightly more of a cross over style to our writing.  The mix of chemistry makes, in my opinion, for a more interesting band.
