So rarely do I get to comment on a test mix of yours. It is very polished sounding already, though I might carve out more space for the bass and low toms. Bob, please take the following for what its worth, which is very little: You have a distinctive vocal mix style. I would like to see you change it. Carve out less lows on it, use less effect (or a warmer mike). You have a fantastic voice, don't be afraid to show it, and maybe begin to challenge it a bit. - Cheers, Shad.

Bob it has been a while since I heard one of your tunes. To long in fact. I enjoyed this. great Job.

Hey Bob, nice job on this! Pretty solid for a test mix. Kick drum seemed a bit loud to me, but other than that, sounding good so far. Can't wait to hear this all done! :)

Another great tune, Bob! Looking forward to future versions. Vox is right where it should be, IMO. The drummer and bass player don't seem to be on speaking terms, but I'm sure the producer will whip them into line.

Excellent piano intro Bob, makes a great break from the usual crunchy guitar (That is radio friendly without doubt).

Very strong melodically, actually one of your strongest and has a little more laid back pop feel about this (Similar to sum 41 - pieces).

Sweet guitar solo.

Since its a draft I'm gonna say two things and I don't care if you use them or not, this thing is in anthem as is;

(1) I would change the kick sound, I think it sounds too metal for this particular song (and the drums do need tightening as others have said). I would maybe even consider some subtle changes to distinguish it from your other drum tracks, like using more toms on the main beat etc

(2) I think you should change the melody notes of "broken angel" to a more major chord, sounds a bit cold and sinister (metal rock sounding) more so cos the rest of the song is popish and "warm" ,I think it would fit better.  I don't know what key this is in, I'm not near an instrument, but I would use the major chord instead of the minor one on those words, from ear it sounds like the root chord in whatever keys its in (chord at 0:07).

Either way, its gonna rock. You asked for advice and thats what I would suggest :-). Good stuff Bob as always, this one is worth the effort.

Bob, this is terrific!  I don't think you have far to go to make this into a classic.  I like the piano, and I think your voice fits this very well.  Color me impressed!!

Bob,
 
Really catchy tune, I like what you have done with the piano.    My only suggestions would be to tame the kick.   I think it is a little busy in parts and the song to me is more pop oriented, the nail in the kick metal sound (to me my ears)   sounds a bit out of place with the rest of the song.  Add another harmony vocal to the chorus and you have a top 40 hit on your hands.    Really fine song.  
 
Regards

Bob - once again the drums and guitars don't add up - they are just out of time dude. it is spoiling your stuff, cos this song is a little different, a bit slower and more ballady, i love the piano. how do you do the drums - is it e-drums or programmed?

All mix comments aside, I LOVE IT! The piano adds a nice touch and the guitars come in just right. One small nit though...the harmonies at the end go into minor when your piano chords are major.
