    Doug

    Taylor makes a great sounding guitar.

    The percussion sounds fantastic in this. The snare is at just the right position and volume.

    Well done

    I like your songwriting - loving the electric piano figure in the coda. Almost a late-album Zep feel here. WIshing the 2nd "addit Up" phrase didn't have that majory 3-note tail - it'd be more haunting without it. Production-wise - I'd pull the drums back in the mix and lose some high-mids on the guitar to make a pocket for the vocals. I like your stuff a lot - well done.

    Like the vocal and the tune in this. The drums are not fitting the the rest of whats going on. I think you have something good here.

    Great song Doug. I especially thought your vocals sounded good during the chorus.

    The mix sounds good on my speakers and i could'nt think of anything that needs changing to be honest.

    Overall, a really good pop/rock track that i enjoyed quite a lot.

    It's a nice song, Doug.   On these office speakers it sounds like a lot of high end and thin in the middle.
    Nice guitar solo!

    Really nice song, Doug, and a fine job on the track as well as the vocals (the later sounding kinda' Green Day-ish to me, and , hey, that's good).  I only had time for one listen, but thought the drums were maybe a bit busy at points.  Tough song to do percussion to I'd think.  Really catchy chorus, BTW.  Nice job.

    A different kind of tune.  I think it's well done and the percussion seemed as though it might not fit EXCEPT it did!  Wierd.  I have to say that I like this tune a bunch!!

    cool tune. i think the hihat in the verse is too much and that is giving that 'too busy' sound people re hearing; maybe half-time that? nice vocals, and the electric guitars give a nice contrast to the acoustic. the accompianement is crowded but sounds really good!

    Mmmm - really reminds me of something, but it won't come to me.

    Only listening on laptop with earbuds, but it all sounds pretty good - maybe a bit to much use of the cymbals which seem to make the mix feel kind of thin, but could just be what I'm listening with.
