Jesus! Pretty harsh words and thats fine, like you said a personal opinion is always welcomed good bad or completely hate filled. If ya would have gone to my myspace profile page, you would see I have about 33 songs on there and probably about 50 or so other songs. I have recorded bands for five years now on everything ranging from a small protools kit to huge SSL consoles, the mix like you said is the least of my problems or concerns, I know what I am doing.
From an artistic expression I personally like the off signature, as I had changed it and lined it completely up, and it now sounds so thin, which I feel is a lot of the problem with the music world today in general. Everybody is so hot to trot to sound like everyone else, that my hat from a production side anyway, gives me ulcers from the constant barrage of Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance band rip offs.
I have written a great deal of songs in my life sold some to major label artists, been signed myself, and have toured through 30 countries. So if you sit in my chair, I could personally place little importance on the negative way off feed back, but more so that whenever I post something on this board, I love getting the constant critique on genre or the music in general when after all, this is a Mixing Board, and personally since this song has not been mastered it sounds incredible, flipping on a Neve console, does not denote that you will get a great mix, which this is. Regardless of time signatures or artistic direction. Its how well a song is recorded from a dynamics, eq, and level directivity musicality aside its simple as compared to the rest of my music.
So, I am not after your approval but more so sharing a different perspective....
There are a great deal of people who hate Zappa, David Bowie, Mars Volta, etc. I am not comparing this song to these styles, but more so that you cared enough to comment
