Default Another attempt at rock, and I think I'm getting closer

I've always found rock music way way harder to get sounding right compared to my slow acoustic or piano songs, but I'm pretty pleased with this. I feel like I'm getting closer to getting to sound like a real rock band.

Super job. You definitely are tight. Really good sense of balance and limiting.

I would push the vocal performance more though.

Thank you! I might try and re-do the vocals at some point. I might add more harmonies as well.

Love the guitar tones and the arrangement. Once I heard a harmony part, I found myself wanting to hear more harmonies. And/or maybe a doubled vocal, or a delay on the vocal? $0.02

I'm singing harmony parts in my head now so I will have a go at them tomorrow. Thanks.

This was good, real good!!!
Some guitars behind the rythm could be louder, the main guitars wider, but...

Sounds great! Could definitely see some vocal harmonies working, but it sounds great as-is.

Can I ask what your vocal fx chain looks like?

Heh-that's ok,coz i'm following you. yes,i meant if your able to do recording passes 1st time round,1take,almost every time--your more likely to get signed by a bigger label--great realtime performers are a valued resource i guess..
Great trackings so far imo anywayzzzzz.cheerz.
Whoever done the editing/mixing and programming seems quite adept also...was that you as well Dream Of Sleeping? (artwork is kinda nice also.)

You shouldn't have to have a real strong voice to add more urgency to the tone. Anyways great job overall
