I really like it. It's well done, to the degree I can evaluate it on the crappy bedroom speakers.

Ignore the comments about the length of the noise. Everyone whines all day long on Gearslutz about how everything is me-too mediocrity. Then 90% of the comments that people get here demonstrated EXACTLY why everything is me-too and mediocre, because everyone dumps on anything that isn't. It's shocking but some of your listeners may listen because the LIKE listening to music, stunning though that is. I mean other sucky bands like Pink Floyd do things like have a roto-tom and guitar intro to a song that went on a couple minutes, right?

A lot of people here I think clearly DON'T enjoy listening to music. It's like cutting up pieces of meat on a conveyor belt for them mostly, as best I can tell. Well, that's my friendly neighbor rant for today. Do what moves you. If people like it, then they like it. If they don't, then you can decide if you want to sell your soul or not.

BTW, some other songs have drifted by as I've been typing, and I like those as well. As to a Beatles type band, I mean look how many people LOVE The Jellyfish, who were about as close to a Beatles tribute band as you can get. Everyone seems to love their stuff (I definitely do.) Plenty of good stuff to be mined in the trippy power pop world.
