I listened to the song roughly 4 times....And honestly, what turns me off is the overuse of the 'sustain'(I don't know if this is the correct term) that is used on almost every ending word of your phrasing....![]()

I hope I'm not being too critical....
Also, i assume these are just rough tracks....![]()
On a couple of the songs I felt no power.....I just felt an emptiness to the overall music. To me, IMHO, it sounds like early 80s VERY LITE AOR, along with early 80s production values....
You asked for feedback, I hope you don't take this as rude.
The "sustain" you're talking about is actually a delay effect. We have it on most of the songs, but it'll be changed on the final songs. I definitely agree with you there.
As far as the "power" goes, I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we don't have live drums yet. They'll change these songs a lot. Also, the songs you hear aren't finished or mastered yet. Mastering these will bring all of the levels up and make them sound much more "full". We'll also be adding a lot of little guitar and keyboard parts, as well as stacking some pretty huge vocals on there.
I definitely don't take offense to it, and I'm glad for the feedback! I hope you like them once we get them finished.
Yeah, it's kinda like trying to judge a painting that's only been outlined so far by the artist. You just have to wait til you get the "real thing"
