Yeh, I went back to listen. The harmonies are good and really add but they are too soft on the 3rd Chorus.
This reminds me of a long time ago when I was pitching my group to A&R guys in Hollywood. I would get an appointment with them and they would put our cassette in and listen at random spots to the tune. Really never listened from beginning to end. If they did not hear what they wanted, they would skip forward.
Sometimes we should think about that in our arrangements. For commercial releases, do you want the listener to get the full impact of a hook up front or have to wait for it. These days, it seems you need to unload the hook with all guns a 'blazin.
