Yeah I liked the first part, second part was rough, but you guys obviously aren't done with it.

Pretty sweet, although I don't really like the quality of the recording. It ruins a potentially great song!

How many times do i have to fucking say...

ITS A ROUGH DRAFT.

Theres no vocals yet. We make the song THEN add the vocals.

ROUGH FUCKING DRAFT.

Very nice start :thumbsup:


A little constructive criticism (I realize the song is a rough draft, don't read this part if you don't want to):

I think it sounds fine without vocals, but some bass would be really nice.

Cutting back on the distortion in some parts would be a good move IMO.

I love it right up till 15 sec, then that transition pretty much sucks. (I know rought draft, but from what I hear might consider changing it a bit.)

at abotu 50 sec. it sounds sorta like everyone jsut going free-for-all. and again at 1:40

Besides thoes parts, it sounds great. (take my opinions in moderation, I know shit about msuic.)

Edit: this is supposted to be constructive criticism. not trying to pick your song apart (although I do a good job)

Edit2: Sonofabitch! you froze my winamp :-/

We were thinking about having it as instrumental, but i don't think we're headed in that direction with this song in particular, and we are currently looking for a bassist, so, :shrug:

And the distortion is like doubly distorted just because of the recording, so, again, :shrug:

Ya we're planning on working on that transition... And those "free-for-alls" actually sound a lot better live. Again the recording sucks horribly.

Edit2: Sonofabitch! you froze my winamp :-/pwnt.

i really liked the beginning, but the bongo parts just blew the song, and it needs some reworking on transitions, but otherwise its coming along nicely :)

It has great potential. I like it when it doesnt sound free-for-all, has a good beat. Whats the name of your band by the way?

Eh we're kind of undecided on a name, but as a temp we're using doublespeak.

Wow, the more I play it the more I like it.

its faily decent, personaly, i hate vocals, they get in the way of the music itself. also, some bass, like a trombone, or a trumpet, or both, yea...
