I remember listening to this song recently and thinking how cool it was... but I don't remember this much reverb on the Vox...

It may be just me, but I think there's way too much verb on this awesome vocal track... for my taste that is... also, the lead guitar could come up just a hair...
Everything else sounds really fine to me, and sits just right in the mix...
Great work Charlie...
Did you play the guitars..?  

 

Hey Charlie, this is a monster of a track, love it! Excellent guitars and vocals, drums & bass are right in the pocket too.

I actually like the verb on the vocs, gives the song a great atmosphere. Superb hook on the chorus, really memorable. I do like a good middle 8/bridge leading into a solo, and you hit that nail right on the head!

I thought the mix was great? Wonderful performances.

Great concepts in this mix. Nice movement on the guitars.
I have to agree with notnat on the reverb thing... it seems to be drowning the lead vocal a bit. 
Lead guitar could come up a bit. Cool sound overall though

 Awesome tune and performances, at first I thought the verb was a little heavy but grew on me. Top notch sounding production to my ears.

thank you guys, very much, its not easy keeping up with you guys around here :)
but you have given me so much help even by listening to your songs and the feedback here.

Love the song.

Is it about Ketamine?

Here's what I am hearing:

• the bass seems to be late for quite a few passages in the song... this could get tightened
• it is over-compressed overall..the guitars should be, but there is a lack of sonic dynamics that actually fatigued me towards the end of the song. @3:12 you have a cool break there for a split second but the compressor is just banging it too hard for it to have the deserved impact
• I might think of adding a chiming, crunchy guitar figure thru the chorus at some point
• the lead is awesome but you should cut a nice fat q around 1.5k from the rhythm guitars at that spot to let it come through some more

Hey Charlie . . .
This tune rocks.  Excellent performance on the guitars and especially your vocals. The mix sounds good on my end and I like the verb.  If I had to nit pick the mix I would pick on your snare.  I think it could use a smidge more punch/high end and I would bring it forward some because I lose it at times..  All in all a really solid piece of music.  KUDOS!

Charlie, 

There is a lot of good in the song and playing.  The mix needs work.  I agree with James on the compression - on the drums it seems too much.  Overall, the whole frequency range seems limited like not enough lows and not enough highs.  There lots in the middle though.  I would try A/B ing this with other songs you like to see what I mean about the overall frequencies.  Less drum compression and more clarity is what I am trying to say.
