Indie/pop/rock band.. comments?

i51423 · 24th February 2006

I made a thread about this a couple months ago... but here are the final versions. There are two other songs on here that weren't before. The third is becoming my favorite. It's mainly in seven and it's supposed to be sung by a robot. They wanted to do some interesting things in that song. Heh. I would say that this is probably my best work and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Does anyone have any criticisms for me?

Thanks in advance.

Track 1 - A straight forward rock song.
Track 2 - An acoustic song.
Track 3 - A more experimental song.
Track 4 - Kind of a chilled out rock song.
Track 5 - A song with a big build-up kinda deal.
Track 6 - 11 second joke track.

Nothing?

Yeah your too impatient

j/k

It's a proper job, what can you say...it's just a matter taste

One thing I didn't like though (

ehe) was the room sound on the vocal track for the first 12 seconds of each verse. The double vocal track being slightly off combined with this sounds little low budget. Fills out perfectly though once the song gets into it.

Just listened to first song btw. Great chorus

There's a bit of a Death Cab for Cutie thing going on, eh.

On the first tune you have the verse panned to one side and the chorus to the other-- a strange, but cool choice. I dig it.

i think its ok. it gets really muddy on the loud parts though. are these live recordings? the vocalist i am definitely not a fan of but that could be preference. i personally think it sounds ordinary and lifeless (nothing spectacular) and sometimes the playing doesn't sound tight.

Sounds very dull,lacks difinition on most things,levels are too high tutt .Could be improved greatly. The loud parts are way over compressed.
Back to the mixer.
