Huzzah! Finally, a proper song up.

[frostbitejunkie]

It sounds pretty good, but the timing sounds a bit off at points (mibbe deliberate?) and I can only understand about 10% of what's actually being sung. All in all not bad though!

Good song. The guitar needs to be a bit meatier in my opinion. The band needs to be tighter, you're all playing the song as individuals on that track, you need to be playing as a unit.
You should rehearse it without Rachael a lot. Play your part but, while playing it ignore it and listen to what everyone else is doing.
It sounds like a good song. At the moment it's a bunch of people playing the same song at the same time. It doesn't sound like a unit, like a band, yet.

Chris Withnail realized this the day after the recording and we spent two 6hour practices almost entirely without Rachael.
I think that's why myself and Chris aren't to chuffed with it, because now we are much tighter and could play it much better but oh well

I'm just echoing what the others have said, it's a good song & will sound really good when it's a bit tighter, I agree about the bass not being prominent enough too.

[Bunnylingus]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

i loves it, but its echoey as fuck.

I'm not entirely sure its anything to do with the actual playing of the drums like - more the recording or the mix. They would probably sound a lot better if the Bass was uber-prominent... (Bassists will one day rule the Earth Muwahahahaha!) although the way they sound does have a bit of a troublegum vibe about them.

I was shocked the bass was so low in the mix, since that was the part of the recording that went the smoothest. The drums ARE out of time and the bass drum especially isnt played very well, I was well off that day, so I keep picking these parts out and annoying myself cause of it.

Overall though Im glad with the reaction people are having, its the same as what I think, good song but just a mediocre recording

the guitar isnt to prominent either to be honest

[*blaine*]

in fact, id just like to say its a more energetic song than that, a lot of it seems to have been lost in the recording

[Zooropa]

I think it's a good song as has been said.
I was expecting something to happen, not a solo or something, but maybe for you guys to take it somewhere with a bit more energy for a bit.

Also agree with Layla I'm not picking up many lyrics, but the vocalist (Is that Rach?) has a really nice voice, it might just be the echo.

Timing is a wee bit out yeah, but you'll get tighter.

I know I had a few criticisms there, but don't get me wrong, i did like it!

[SqueeTDM]

Criticism is good though!

I know what you mean about it "going somewhere"
While playing it I felt the "bridgey" bit just before the last verse/chorus was more energetic but the recording/production have taken the energy away from it somewhat

[Lowtone]

I think its a good wee song.
The recording and mixing isnt that great but who gives a fuck. Its a good way of getting your stuff down so you can sit back and see what needs doing.
I listened to your first song when you posted it and this is a big improvement.

Where/what did you use to record?

[Bunnylingus]

Twas in a college.

Woo, that is me singing aye

Just listening to it again, it sounds a bit boring.

Tis much better done properly.
