Sound pretty good to me, the vocals seems to be a little thin.
It lacks the "Ompfh" factor.

I agree, the vocals are a bit thin. There's also a part where a synth sneaks up behind one of the vocals, and it sort of interferes with it in its freq. range. Other than that though, not bad.

thanks guys, any suggestion to make them thicker?

Similar comments from me. A nice tune well performed. On this computer speakers, which hype the lower mids the vocals don't sound so thin, but that's always the deal wtih these speakers. A vocal that's good in the lower mids sounds too loud, so if it sounds right, then it's probably actually thin :-)

And also my usual complaint that the bass is not much in evidence. So either it's overly light, or all too low frequency to come through much on smaller speakers. In this type of song I don't figure it should be really prominent, but just seems light on the low end to me.

thanks for the input, the band is very happy with the finished product, which makes me happy!
