Here is a little social observation presented in a song.  It is a little loose but I was having a bunch of fun with this one and wanted to keep a very casual style about it.  I know that this is not really a Blues song but I didn't know how or where to categorize it.
 
Anyway, I have learned a lot by participating on this forum and so comments, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.
 
Thanks and I hope that you have fun listening.

Hi Freddy
I like this - very raw which suits the topic.
My only crit would be that there's too much of the slap-back delay on the main vocal which (to my ears) makes the lyrics hard to hear.

Freddy, I like the guitar tones you get, especially at 1:21.  I lso liked that it was a straight forward lead, not just a pyrotechnic display of wizardry.
 
I especially love the lyrics,  Sounds like a blind date gone bad? You have a nice matter of fact response to whoever that is.
 
The mix sounds OK on my headphones, i agree a little about the effect on the  vocals.
 
But I do think this is a good song.  Not over played, easy for people to relate too.

I LOVE this Freddy, but you know me, I'd like to hear that kick drum thump through a little more. Otherwise the vocal effects I actually dig!!

It's got the Freddy stamp all over it...     Another clever and well done song, and IMO close enough to blues to qualify.  
 
Mix-wise I agree with the above - a fatter bottom and maybe a little less vocal delay (but not much) should do the trick.   Maybe a little delay on the guitar solos?

Good tune - overall enjoyable. My only comment may contrasts with the other comments: I think the bass guitar could come down a bit in the mix. For me, the bass at its current level takes the focus away from the other parts.

good and gnarly...
the drums sound rather canned, tho..
maybe a bit more time programming some 'weirdness' into it would help....
and tweak the snare drier....
 
maybe shorter on the slapback time, if you like the effect....

This has the Freddy sound to it I agree, the bottom could do with a little more weight and that echo is just a tad to much, but it is a good tune, thanks for sharing.

Freddy, Freddy, Freddy - this is a great tune - you have evolved over the years to be an amazing artist - you have created a sound that is all yours - just fantastic.
