Yup, really good straight-head rock. It is nice hearing a "live" song performed well.
Regarding the intro... I think it's the hits on :07 and :10 that Tom might be referring to. When I listened back a few times it seems they're actually on the "and" of two, but on first listen they seemed a little off time. Minor nit in an otherwise solid tune.
Thanks very much for the complements.
From looking at the tom hits in the project, the tom run around :07 starts at beat 6:01 and ends at beat 7:01. The one around :10 starts at beat 8:01 and finishes at 9:01 with the straight kick starting there and the floor tom hits on the "1" beat (with a couple ahead of the 1 beat but the emphasis on the 1) of the next 7 measures. All the hits appear to be tight to the grid.
I don't see anything visually out of line and to me I also don't hear anything out of time. It's all recorded to a click at 155 bpm and everything seems to align to the grid.
I also checked the guitar and bass and all of that aligns to the grid as well.
However, it is very interesting to me that it sounds out of time to you guys. Obviously you are all musicians so I don't take the info lightly. I'll get with my band mates and ask them if they hear anything that might give a clue.
I realize it's just a small "nit" but it gets my interest up just to try to identify what's going on.
thanks, gabo
