Really like the drums. Cymbals have an edgy sound, snare cracks nicely, and the bassdrum really drives. Vocals are quite on the top, but it doesn't bother much since they still sit in the mix. Guitars are little too modern plane-type. A bit of a bite with some compressing and/or eq`ing would be just terrific. I still like the overall controlled-but-rocking sound, but dirt and grit never hurt a rock song.

updated it by compressing the guitars a little bit and took a little bit of mids out of them also

Bad! - means not bad.

If U listen some loud places and than get back to the intro,
U may notice that intro louder.
Do you have compression on 2buss may be or on something that kicks in
differently in the beginning.

It's getting more messy down the road.
And it's not usually very ez to do.

Also intro.
Left delay guitar being cool itself, falling out of your image too much on the left side..

Vocal asking a bit more presents I would say.
Could be worked out with mastering too.

Overall Not bad!

You delayed-panned the vocal, right? Sounds a bit too wide and synthetic to me.

vocal is a db too loud and needs to be dirtier in the verses. the chorus sounds really good, but the verses fall apart, especially the intro - verse and chorus - verse.

needs a different guitar sound or something.. then explode into the chorus. it does that now... but not to the extent that it makes you go 'yeaaaah'. lol.

cheers bro

Thumbs up

turn the vocals a db or two down their a bit above the overall the mix. This band sounds like that band sherwood.

pretty decent mix - nice drums - guitars sound nice

I agree with a consensus that the vocals are a hair too loud, but I only get that vibe in the very beginning of the song... I guess I'm used to loud vocals from tons of pop. Very All American Rejects, but better...

The snare is sick.
