It's well balanced and seems to work for the song.

I'm going up today to finish building the acoustical panels for the walls, and doing the front corners.

I can't quite tell what the guy is saying, but that might just be because of his style. It's like some stuff gets slurred or burried. they are really low in the mix, too...

Where is the low end? This song is missing all the low end. The bass could honestly be an entire octave lower.

No Offense but those drums are bunk. they sound like a cheap drum machine. Thin. no energy at all. No dynamics. no fills. I would dump those and go back to the drawing board for rhythm.

good luck...

Nice production.

Nice choice of sounds.

My only critique would be it lacks a front to back depth.

Side to side its happening, but its a little lacking in dimension.

And some sub bottomn could warm it up a touch.

Production wise maybe at the end around 2:41(after the swirling synth) i would probably add some really hi triplet hihat/sizzly ride stuff.

Just an opinion.

Stu - I hear what you're saying, was looking more for an opinion on the mix not the prod.

thrill - How would suggest to get some front to back depth?

Good mix all round..

I'm having a little trouble hearing some the the words/phrases like "cool after cool" , the "after" is difficult to catch..Like Stuart said, It seems to be part of his style...
But they could be automated up a touch.
