Made some tweaks. Please give feedback! Thanks!

Love the intro and the verse. The intro seemed like a fresh and imaginative variation of a worn out "intro before the heavy" motif. The verse seems just right; the mix, the lyric... it is solid.
 
I don't think the solo made the song any more exciting or interesting... it seemed perfunctory and perhaps misplaced.
 
IMO, the overall impression is that everything was really well done.
 
all the best,
mike
 
 
 

 
I have to agree with Mike this is solid , very cool stuff going on here . Lyrics I like also , some good lyrics writing NICE ! Your lead guitar , pretty HOT I like it  . Are you using something like Guitar Rig 4 like I'm using right now , I just started playing guitar and I'm trying to get this type of guitar lead sound you have in this music COOL I like it !

Thanks James! I'm using the Line6 Pod HD Pro on guitar. Can't remember the setting though. Then used some Sonitus reverb with some automation on the end for the long decay. Glad you liked it!

Yep, That's good stuff man. What comp and Limiter are you using? I'm a VST addict so I'm always interested in such things. Great Job!

Thanks bro! On the master bus I'm using the Focusrite LiquidMix for comp and limiting. I'm using the Manley Variable Mu simulation. I appreciate you checking it out!

Hmmm. That (Variable MU) sounds a lot like that new VOS plugin Vintage Broadcast Limiter. It's 32bit, but sounds pretty good to me.

I love the LiquidMix. It's quirky, and gives me problems sometimes. But the sound to me is worth it. Vintage Broadcast Limiter huh? I might have to check that out!
