Good song, good mix, good performances.  I'll have to listen to this some more, but I hope this is indicative of your album.  Best of luck!

Cool, catchy song well performed.
Too much reverb on the guitars and vocals to my ears (only my subjective opinion)

Yea might be a bit heavy on the guitar reverb. Something about this song we're not satisfied with. We may pull this one out and do some surgery on it, possibly including some structure changes as well.

It seems a bit bottom light, and awash with reverb. It's not a bad song, it just is missing something that is usually in your songs. Can't put my finger on it though...

Perhaps it is the excess reverb that is causing the "something about this but I can not put my finger on it" sound of this.  The range sounds fine here, will keep the furry ears out for the remix.

Thanks guys. Yep, this one is going back to the garage for some work. Of course we're off working on two new songs now, so might be a while before we circle back. 
 
Thanks for helping out. We thought there was something not quite right too and this verifies it for us. Luckily the guitar FX were recorded "from the amp." I say luckily because that means we can just trash those parts and start over instead of mucking around in sonar trying to fix them!! 
 
Besides playing the parts is a lot more fun than fiddling with computers! I'll have another new song for you guys to check out in a few days. I like it a lot better than this one anyway!
