    Nice job!   I wasn't quite sure what to make of it during the intro, but when the guitars kicked in I thought... yeah, this is cool.   
     
    I really like the guitar solos and melodies, very well done.   The rhythm parts are nice and wide and crunchy too.  Mix-wise, the piano seems a little lopsided since there's not much happening on the other side, and the only thing I didn't care for was the snare - I think something with more "pop" and less "snare ring" might blend better?   Either way, cool tune.

    Wow!  You so nailed the mix issues.  When the drums are solo'd, the snare has more pop.  I struggled but just couldn't get it to pop in the mix.  The piano is counter balanced by an "organ" on left but the tone of the organ is just not cutting through enough to balance the piano properly.  I'm so thankful you took the time to listen and are validating the same issues I have with the mix.  I've got some work to do.

    RAWK!!!
