Missed the first iteration of this Bob, busy with helping others.  The opening caught me by surprise I though that's it Bob has finally succumbed to Lo Fi fever, then it all kick in.
 
Nice job Bob sounds well here.

It sounds pretty big here...  'specially those guitars.     Good song too, I like it - catchy chorus.   And your voice sounds really good on this one. 
 
About the only thing I'd nit-pick are some timing issues between the vocals and instruments in the chorus.  I felt as though the vocal lines were dragging behind a little, particularly against the drums.    But song and mix-wise I think you have a winner!
 

Sounds pretty great Bob. Although I think when you re-posted it some of the timing got scrambled starting around 2:40.

Bob, this is huge sounding.  I love the song and your arrangement.  Your vocals and guitar work are awesome.  I, too, hear the timing issues in the chorus, though, I'm sure they can easily be fixed once you identify them.  Otherwise, this is a hit and album ready.

Bob,
 
Cool song.   There are some timing issues here and there.  From about 2:15-2:40 the vocals seems like they are dragging.  More so toward the end of that range than the beginning.    The abrupt stops are distracting.   I would soften then up with some reverb or delay.  There is also some strangeness around 3:30 with the choruses.   Not sure if you are going for a delay effect but I would use timed delay rather than re-pasting clips as it isn't lining up correctly.   Sounds like there is something amiss.   Really good song though.  Like it, good energy and mix.
 
Regards

Very cool rocking tune there Bob....mix & performance were really good!! I do agree that the abrupt stops were distracting (I replayed that part a few times to see if it was working as intended) and didn't quite seem to fit with the rest of the song. 
 
Your solo's & rhythm guitar tones/playing are just top shelf stuff. I enjoyed this tune very much.....looks like I'll have to visit your site again and give another whirl at all your tunes.  

cool tune bob, lots of attitude!
 
i like the idea of the intro,
but what would be cool, would be if you could automate and roll that treble effect off gradually, where it is OFF right when the main downbeat comes in.
 
that would draw the listener in gradually......
 
i like the deep bass, but it's missing some in the low mids....
needs a bit more there for girth.
then the high end which if favored now, will be in more balance.
 

 The production is really sounding huge on this brother Bob, cool intro,  love that really catchy low opening riff. Expressive vocals, real cool idea adding a few low-fi/telephone verses. Great sounding mix.
 
 
 Glad you like the Tele, not half as lovely as that new PRS of yours I think I saw posted here.

Hi Bob - I hope you are well.
This definitely has a different vibe to your usual stuff - more indie/alternative and I like it.
I also heard some vocal timing issues. Drums could come up in the mix for me too.
Overall, nice one though mate. 

NOTE: Sorry for the late replies, guys!

Hi, Steve, how are you, buddy?  Doing great I hope!
 
Big thanks for checking this out for me and for the kind words and good observations!
 
Yes, Sir, you and our fellow forum friends are 100% correct about the timing issues with the choruses.  I did quite a bit of cutting, nudging, sliding and fine tuning for the new Mix #3, so I'm hoping things are falling into place now.
 
Thanks again, Steve and have a great week, buddy!

Hi, Mike,
 
Thank you so much for taking time to give this a listen and for your encouraging comments and good input!
 
Yes, Sir, the timing of the vocals in the choruses was off quite a bit, but hopefully I've got it fixed up now on Mix #3.
 
Thanks again, Mike, I greatly appreciate your input!
 
Best wishes for a great week!

Hey, Mark, how are you, buddy?  Hope you're doing great!
 
Thanks so much for checking this one out for me and also for your valuable detailed input and observations!  I always look forward to and greatly appreciate your input, advice and support on my stuff.
 
For this new mix, I did quite a bit of nudging and sliding on the chorus vocals and outro echoes to fix the timing anomalies as per your suggestion, and I stretched the abrupt rhythm guitar stops back out to the finger slides to fill in the gaps, and used shorter fades as Walt suggested.  I'm crossing my fingers that things are starting to gel a little better.
 
Thanks again for your good ears, greatly appreciated, buddy!

Hey, Mesh, It's really great to hear from you, hope you're doing great!
 
Thank you very much for stopping by on this one, and for your good input and kind words of encouragement!
 
I'm hoping I fixed up the stops on this new mix by stretching out the cuts further and adding a few short fades.
 
I really appreciate you checking this out for me, and your good observations and kind words!
 
Have a great week, my friend!

Hey, Rob, how's it going, buddy?  Hope you're doing well!
 
Thanks so much for popping in on this one and lending your great ears, good input and suggestions!
 
Believe it or not, I originally automated the lo-fi drums back in with a slow build in the intro just the way you suggested, but after a few listens, I decided to go with the BIG BANG!!! because I thought the contrast made a more dramatic impact. LOL!
 
Thanks for the advice on the bass because lately I've been struggling to try to get a "rounder" sounding bass that fits in with the thick wall of guitars without swamping the low end or getting too clicky.  On the new mix I dialed back in some of the low mids that I sculpted out of the bass for the original mix.  I'm hoping to hit a decent balance without overwhelming the mix.
 
Thanks again for giving this a listen and your great input!
 
Have a good one!

Hey, Daryl, how are you, my friend?  Hope you're doing well!
 
Thank you so much for taking time to give this a listen and for your input, observations and very kind words!
 
I'm crossing my fingers that I've got the chorus vocal timing issues ironed out on the new mix that I just uploaded.  I bumped up the drum bus conservatively by 1dB, but after re-eqing the bass, I'm wondering if I still might have to give the drums a bit more of a boost.
 
Thanks again, Daryl, I really appreciate your advice and suggestions, and your new song post "Something In My Drink" is dynamite!
 
Best Wishes!
Bob
