THROW AWAY SONG 
©2016 MRI ~ Words & Music by Daren Thomas Turner
A painful observation of all of you here
Pessimistic, overdriven, troglodytive 
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Please laminate my head
Stick me in a cubicle
Ass-**** me 'till i'm dead
Hurricanes and earthquakes love my zen Malthusian
'cause you reek of all your cronies and dirty nepotism 
I am just an effigy burning up in flames
I'd rather be just thrown away than ever born again
Suicidal tendencies cut into my flesh
To dream in phenobarbital into foreverness 
I am the vicious mirror that anorexics fear 
Permanent obfuscation
Believing it's real
The point blank honesty that has made you hate my face
Also makes your own opinion of no ****ing consequence 
My only friends are mannequins who linger on Facebook
I just posted my obituary and no one even looked
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG
Hello! My name is: NAME TAG

Really enjoyed it! I think you got to where you wanted to go. I especially liked the main guitar groove and the break downs.

Vocals up!
 
Pretty cool song though...

Smack that bass up Daren. Give it some snap. Cool track otherwise.

I like your sound alot.  You guys should hook up with a band here called KING BLACK ACID.  You'd complement eachother.

Another great song, Daren.  I love the lyrics.  I know it's your style to mix vocals down, but your words are too good to be buried.  Otherwise, this ending is cool; I like endings like that.  You've been missed around here.

Alice in Chains all the way. This is such a great tune - you guys really have a great sound and you are great musicians. I love this.

AIC-ish for sure!   While a bit dark, it's some good stuff... I likes.     But yeah, the vocals are just a bit too buried for my tastes, and should be standing proud with those big guitars.  
 

I really enjoy the fact that everyone here has a great set of ears - thanks to all.
The vocals were indeed buried even more than I 'artistically' do; I think my ears were fatigued from mixing. 
Taking the advice here I boosted them up front and center and tweaked the heavy guitars. Pretty sinister sound now - offset by the clean guitars/acoustics in the breakdowns and intro. I'm loving how the clean DADGAD based chords ring out I was inspired by Andy Summers / Walking On The Moon.  Tune is getting there now.  
muchas gracias amigos ;)  good to have some time to be back here again

Oh yeah, much better! If you are still tweaking, the heavy guitars may be too loud. Not by much...just a few places where the backing instruments are overwhelmed, and those sound great when they come through.
