i like the energy of this...
and the crunchy guitars, dig it.
i can't hear any bass guitar tho..
i think the mix has to be done over.....
i mean, it's subjective...
but i think the rhythm guitars are too hot....
the drums sound too mechanical, too machine like...
and that boxy snare sound, could be improved.
and of course, the bass guitar needs to be in the mix...
all the performances are cool!
and yes, you could still easily fit the vocal on top of this,
even when the guitar is solo'rhythm'ing, ala VH, the vox just sits right on top of it..
especially during the section that strarts at 2:14...
that whole section is begging a meandering rock vocal.....
all those changes, that'd be a blast
