Nice one bats.

Raise the bass. <----- very minor crit. Maybe just personal taste.

Few people anymore play the wah-wah pedal like you do.  I could listen to you all day.  Didn't you just rebuild your studio?  I hope this came from it so I can look forward to hearing more.  Kudos.

You have a relationship with that instrument... I really like the bass too.  
I'm pretty sure that if I was a chick I'd be throwing my panties.

I listened to all three songs and was super impressed.  Your guitar skill is impressive.  I'm not a pro (yet) with Sonar, but I know what sounds good.

What I liked:

1. There was always an interesting and hard-driving bass line that kept things in motion and kept my foot tapping.
2. The mix was clean enough that I could pick out every instrument.  No muddiness at all, even with the sound effects.
3. You used varying guitar sounds with each song.  (clean, dirty, nasty, etc.)
4. You used, but never overused your sound effects and made great use of the stereo field.
5. Great vocals.

If I had a CD full of music like this it would be exactly the type of thing I would listen to in my car on the highway.  I don't have anything bad to say.

Once again I had to listen twice,, wow what a difference between your stuff and a lot of stuff posted here. I just listened to a bunch of other songs posted here and yours just jumps out of the speakers miles above the rest.. great work as always.

He has an album full of this stuff. Go get it! 

Just went back in for another listen -- Good God Almighty is that good!  So are the other two tracks there.  You not only have a wonderful tone and feel but the music is very inventive.  There's not a false move in any of those tracks...bass...drums...perfect.  :)

I don't think you have to wait any longer. Shining like a 100000 watts.
