Can't put my finger on it, but I think the vocals could be a bit more in the pocket mix wise (for my (incompetent) ears). 

Frequency-wise or rhythmically? I haven't re-done my vocal booth so I can't get a lot of the misc. frequencies out without crushing the feel of the vocal.

Nicely done James. You nailed that Parliament/Funkadelic sound perfectly. Definite head-bobber this one

James,
 
Great work all around.   Love the groove, the bass and rhythm section is outstanding.   I could see this song becoming a Halloween dance classic.   Superb.

The vocals are great!!! Nothing wrong with the performance. Please don't let me spoil the party! It was my very first impression that the voice jumps out of the speakers just a little too much when it kicks in. Could be volume or frequency...  just a little more embedded into the (funktastic) music. like I said that was just my impression. I really like this track a lot and it definitely works the way it is. : )

Great song / production.  Everything is done so well.  Super tight bass, great organ sound, and the horns are very convincing.  A lot of different reverb settings working together.

Thanks Geno. They should be convincing as they are real horns that I completely restructured with Melodyne Editor (for those of you who got the Essential version with X3, spend the $99 and get the Editor. So much you can do with it.)

Ha, fun tune!  I hope that being back signals an uptick in your fortunes, buddy!!  I know that the storms messed you up and have thought about you.  This song is really nicely done.  We also did a zombie tune this year but yours is an upbeat tune that creates a lot of fun.  Love the lyrics and the funk sound.

Hey, James,
 
Wow, killer job on this amazing comeback from the Yoyo Factory!
 
Great writing and arranging, the bass and horns are awesome, and the mix is absolutely fantastic.
 
A truly "Funkalicious" dance track, bro, nice work!
