Dude, you and Mike C. are on a roll!
Love the song, the arrangement, mix, everything. What module did you use for the drum sounds?

Hey, here is a talented one! I find it a great composition and production. I like very much mixes like this, with a very raw sound, almost as the musicians were playing a couple of meters of me. Like in RalphÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s land would be said: alle Achtung!

That was the only element that I felt was kind of "iffy" myself. The vocals felt "contrived" and forced to fit the genre. The Guitar work is excellent however, really nice.

I wouldn't say they are contrived, it's just not really a style I normally do so I don't think I'm hitting the notes as naturally as the previous song. I'm going to have to work on it, but I did compose it this way on purpose. It's a shaky.

I have to say I actually like the vocals. It's that flair and style that goes with this type of music, for me. Like wearing a flamboyant hat at the right beach on the right day, if that makes any sense to anyone.

I just think there's a lot of near-misses with some of the pictures of the notes. I'm going to need to go into melodyne and see where I'm going wrong and maybe correct some of it Until I can perform at the right way. I'm going to have to play it out a bit at gigs

Actually Jason "contrived" is probably the wrong adjective, it wasn't meant in a negative way. Perhaps "forced" would be more appropriate. It just didn't sound like it was a natural flow for you and you were thinking during the performance instead of it just happening, if that makes sense.
