"Pretty cool"
date: September 10, 2009
Overall, I really enjoyed this. This sounds and melodies all intertwine very well, and it's got a very cool feel overall. In terms of the song itself, its professional quality, very well made. The main qualm I have with the song however, is the vocals. The quality of singing just isn't there for me; it sounds like someone who really doesn't know how to sing, trying to sing, and it makes it hard for me to appreciate the high quality of everything else. This song would be fantastic if the vocals sounded better, and while I realize you're going for a stylized sort of singing, it just doesn't work for me. Like I said though, I think the rest of the song is top notch, just as long as the vocals sound amateur-ish, it brings the rest of the song down.

Author's Response:
The vocals are what most people complain about. The main reason they sound so amateur is because I'm currently forced to use a desktop mic to record. As a result, the voice is simply not pleasing to the ears, and I've had to fight with ridiculous distortion throughout the recording. Once I get a good quality microphone, there will be a huge difference. (Trust me, it isn't a result of poor singing skill.)
