Sounds pretty good. Its very harsh on top, and its a shame because the music is good.

Are you refering to the way the cymbals sound? I accidently ran them through the drum bus compressor on this particular bounce. It was remedied in a later version..

Good song. Believable vocal performance. Good emotion in the track. Enjoyed the musical dynamics. Memorable melody.

Mix wise, other than the compression issues, everything seems to be nicely placed, i could hear and FEEL every instrument. Heard a few (P) pops from the lead vocal. Try rolling a little more low end off the lead vocal or somtimes I'll just automate the volume on those peskie P's & T's.

other wise, sounds pretty phat

Hmm... well, you should've bought my Myteks. (lol, just kidding)

Very reminiscent of Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Sounds just like the genre it represents. Since you mentioned that you accidentally mixed the cymbals through the drum bus, why not post the fixed version?

Except for that, it would fit right in with poprock radio programming easily.

If I can suggest anything - and if it's not too late to change - I'd say smooth the snare fills so the dynamics match between each hit. At @ 1:15, the rising dynamics of the 16th note snare fill sound a bit robotic. I'd suggest making it rise evenly instead of a louder group of 4 beginning on each quarter note.

Sounds like it's already compressed by a radio station. If anyone can back that off, it'd be worth doing.

Altogether, it's rather a pro-sounding effort!
