Thoughts, critiques, verbal-bashing?

Nothing, huh?

Sorry, don't wanna register for spam ...

I liked it. Is the solo a little out of sync?

You don't have to register. There's a hifi stream there. But

I'm not sure. My lead guitarist sent me the solo and I put in the multitrack...he forgot the exact time signature for it, so I had to play around with a bit. Does it sound early or late to you?

Let me listen again.

Hmm, hard to say. I guess it's ok the way it is, but somehow it sounds a little "out" one way or another. Dont you sense something when you listen?

It's ok ...

A couple of things:
- I like the compression at the beginning.
- The kick drum intro is a bit off (it's timed right but it doesn't match the guitar rhythm so it sounds off). Plus it sounds a bit dead. Change it.
- The ride cymbal sound sucks.
- The solo is fine, timing wise. Efx could probably use a bit of tweaking, but it fits.
- Flip the guitar to clean for the picking parts on the verses, they could use the attack. I'm debating whether the bridge could use it too, but on a second listen it sounds fine as is).
- Crank the reverb a bit on the solo guitar, and lower its volume.
- There's a distinct lack of dynamics all around... everyone just keeps playing at the same volume the entire time. The guitar should kick up when you raise your voice.
- The transition to the outro sucks... and when you crank the reverb on that guitar, the extra 1 or 2 seconds it gives you on the outro will make the song feel a lot more "finished".

Seriously, for a song about necrophilia, I've remained pretty high-brow.

Necrophelia? Now where would you get an idea like that?

Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll look into them.

Hey, we revamped this song to make it less campy and more rockin'
