Vocals sound ridiculously good. The only thing that bugged me a bit was the actual sound of the drums and guitar in the verses. But everything else was great, it's catchy and I wanted to listen to it again after I finished it.

Great song GLA!

Hi GLA,

Well produced! I agree with Pedro, you just gotta find the right listing for it.

For some reason this reminds me of Billy Joel's song "Minor Variation" although it sounds nothing at all like that song, the vibe is kinda similar in some way... I think that is the endings of the vocal lines and the chord progression. - Anyway, if I cite Billy Joel in anything that is the best compliment I can give cause I am a super fan. :D

That said, I think it has a slightly dated sound but that does not mean it won't work for something and is in no way a negative remark.

This is a well produced song and I especially like the unison vocal part. Vocals overall are really well done too. I can't really think of anything to nit. :) I also like how you have varied the arrangement without making it sound like five different songs. Nice work!

Hi. Great intro riff. Reminds me of Gimme Shelter by the Stones. I hear a lot of this style of edgy rock on TV shows at the moment. Maybe the vocal could be a little gruffer and dirtier? That little aah-aah chant is a great hook. The orchestration of the guitars is very cool.And it's great song. Really like it!
Cheers,
Doug

Reminds me of Black Keys in style and vibe, allthough slightly more pop.
I like the dynamic arrangement a lot.

Really nice work!
