I like the general groove of this tune. Yeah I like it.
Tom Petty comes to mind...... and Neil Young too.... pleasant to listen to.
The vox are kinda low, hard to hear the lyrics as cleanly as I'd prefer.
what....? at 4:40, hummmmm..... while that's cool stuff, I'm thinking maybe you should end the first and call it one song then work the second part into something else...
Regarding the jump: It kinda reminded me of some of the old stuff I used to listen to..... Charlie Daniels song Saddle Tramp comes to mind..... The song starts out and goes on, then at what you think is the end..... into something totally cool but totally different and not really related to the first part.
Good job.

Well I love the second part, after 4:40 much better than the first part. It did seem like a different song, but then, it fits. It fits like how albums used to be recorded, where each song is placed strategically and this one fits a little better than that so..hell yeah. I dig it.
Really great instrumentation, quality writing and recording, singing, everything is really top notch. Your sound is plenty rock enough yet not venturing into "heavy" territory. Has that prog feel. Just great stuff, I don't know what else to say. I love discovering musicians and songs like this, really pleasant. Anyone who doesn't notice is totally missing out.

I also liked the second half, reminded me of old Genesis. Great drumming!

If I was passing a gig where this was playing I think it would grab me and hold me, then I would have to come in and see who was playing, then I would have to get up and dance, and in the end come up and congratulate you for such nice work..

Nice song - great voices and playing.
I am listening on crappy computer speakers but the mix sounds good on them - I'll listen on something decent later.

Nice groove. Great arrangement and mix - everything has a place and breathes. Drums sound esp. nice.
Song wise, I liked A part better, even tho B kicked it up some. Great song still. Had me tapping me toe.

Nice groove in part A perhaps a little longer breath between that and part B would just allow for the transition to be better assimilated. All in all the production and mix comes across very well here as noted space, air and breath. Thanks for sharing

I, too, like the way this song breathes and its catchy arrangement. It has a cool retro vibe, and the drums are very well recorded. I would have liked to have heard the vocals and bass guitar a little louder, but that's a minor nit. Congratulations on a good song and production.

Very good I really like this one , wouldn't mine playing my drums to this song myself . This song has a nice groove to it , drumming sounds good and spot on in the pocket with your fills , accents on your highhat and cymbals .
Nice I really enjoyed this song , good drumming !

Thanks everybody! This forum kind of serves two purposes, song critique and engineering critique. I appreciate the feedback on all of it and glad many of you enjoyed it. I'll be posting more! I posted this song by a different group as well here and would like feedback there too. Both these songs are a little different and unusual in their structure and rhythms. Opinions are always welcome as we all are here to improve our skills in both playing AND recording! Head Trip http://forum.cakewalk.com...k-it-out-m2990386.aspx
