As usual we welcome your thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs sideway, middle finger up....however you feel about the song, the mix....we wish to know your thoughts!
 
Perpetrators....
Tom McCaffrey:  Vocals, synth, bass, that Sonar crap
Preston "Presto" Richardson:  All that banging and the engineering of all that banging...oh yeah and some clanging too
Tony Wood:  Guitars, with all six strings intact
 
Thanks!
 
 

I always like hearing a new DT tune.
Like the furry one, I would like to hear a bit more air.
Very cool, gents.

Very solid performances and engineering.  Love the song, how true it is.  My only comment on the mix would be that I was waiting for Tony's lead to come in and split my head open and it just cracked it.   I could have used a tad more volume on the lead but that is a personal preference.  You guys are starting the year right.  The beginning guitar and drums blew me away.  Then the Chameleon comes in.  Great start to the year guys!

Thanks all for the listens and input! I'm thinking of readdressing the compression on the bass which might be the reason she feels a bit boxed in....again good comments!
 
 

Good to hear from you guys. I always love when you put out a new tune. This is really nice - I love the vocals on this. Such a creative and well-recorded tune.
 
I love it guys.

That's it! Thanks Jamesg1213 I won't be so lazy next time!

Tom & Tony - always a pleasure!  when I saw the title, I thought, well, if this is a temporary song, I don't want to listen to it!  LOL!
 
guitars are great, bass is fantastic, drums are nicely done.  vox fit the song
 
excellent work gents!

Sounds good! I like the delay on the guitars slapping in between the chords. I thought the mix still sounded a little dark, but I'm not sure where it is coming from. Guitars and bass are fine, as are the vocals. Maybe just add some top end instrument like a shaker or synth or something to bring some sizzle to the mix?
 
Regards,

Hard and heavy, just the way I like my DT. Great performances all.
 
The ring on the snare in the beginning has to be damped down. It is really distracting just as the tune gets started.
 
The lead is killer.
 
 
 

Hmmm..they've only been an snuck one out without telling me first......guess I must have forgotten to renew my subscription to the super-fan club.... ;)
 
Anyhoo, head full of stuff that it shouldn't be right now, so can't fully trust me ears but I'm not a fan of the snare sound as it stands tbh. Other than, signature DT which is always a good thing.

I love this.  Thanks for posting!  The vocal is loose enough to sound natural, and I can hear the "Frank" that Wookiee mentioned above.  I'd like to hear the drums be less "damped".  The snare maybe needs a bit more "crack"?  Everything else was awesome.  Guitar rhythm and solo, bass, "it all".  Sweet!

Yeah, it's DT.   
 
Cool song, it's got some attitude.   The mix is nice and wide...   I really like the vocals in each ear.   
 
If anything, as mentioned above the snare seems a bit muddy, lacking crispness, particularly near the end when there's a roll around the toms, and I could hear more the of sticks hitting the drum heads than on the snare itself.
 
But that's a minor mixy thing IMO, the song is still vibin'.
