Hi guys
On the Swedish forum we have gathered a group called The Tremendous Three it contains me MaxB and Lazarus and the name from the start was EdLaMa but it sounded so awful so Lazarus said lets call us The Tremendous Three so we did. I know it sound a bit pretentious so I'm sorry for that - anyway we have done 4 songs and would love if you listened on it and maybe give us a comment.

Good stuff U3. Love the drums. Good vocals, reminds me a little of Leonard Cohen. My vote is "Nothing I can do" for your #1 Hit. Could you let us know a little about the equipment etc. that you used.

I like all the instrumentation and some of the vocals. The vocals feel pretty deep for the instrumentation, that is, rock genre. The vocals feel more like they should be in a country song, but this is just my opinion. I don't really sing because my vocals are all over the place, especially on the highs and lows, and that is the feeling I get with your vocals. For the most part they are really low. They are good for the most part and the harmonies are really good. Maybe one of the other guys should try singing or maybe you could redo the vocals in another key and try to stay on key all the way through the songs. Great start to something even better. Like to hear the final product with the vocals spot on. Great instrumentation.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I listened to chasing rainbows, it wasn't bad, my suggestions;
 
1. I would go for a real Hammond sound vs. whatever the organ/synth sound that was used. Or maybe just a different synth.
 
2. It seemed to want to be different songs, between the verse/chorus and the basic structure, and then that orchestral interlude in-between? To me the orchestra didn't work. I liked the rest better. 
 
I'm also not sure about the vocals.

The mixes are well done. Instrumentation is well played. The lead vocal is very uneven and really distracts from the songs. Now, other bands have used "unique" lead vocalists in the past, but you'll need to figure out how to record and mix him so it works.
 
Regards,
Dan

Lots of thing happening in all the songs, I think Eagle is my choice for best mixed, there is a more even spread of all the frequencies and there is more depth to the song as a whole.
I think Dan is right in that you will have to find a way of making the vocals sit in the mix better for the songs to work. I've found that my Rode NT1 is not the best choice of mic for male vocals, it seems to emphasise the high mids too much, so maybe a mic change will help with that.
I think you have a real epic sound going on, well done.

Eko, I have to say that I've rarely heard so much texture and thickness in a lead vocal in a long time.  The songs are quite good, and getting the lead vocal to settle in just right will be well worth the effort.  Overall, the engineering of these songs is very dynamic, and the sounds just pop from my speakers.  Stay with it because 98% of the work is done.

+1 to the above.   The songwriting, arrangements and production is good and appropriate for the genre IMHO.   I'm just not crazy about the lead vocals - they tend to be a little pitchy and a bit deep for the style.  That said I did like the deep, double tracked vocals in Eagle, and even the other lines seem to sit better in the mix.   Then again, of the four tunes I definitely liked Eagle the best anyway.

Thank you Lynn for your kind comments we have parted on the engineering so it is a difference as you did revealed.
To all you others that have thoughts about my voice - you are probably right it is a ruff voice that is somewhat alone in its kind I am sorry for that or maybe glad I don't know.
