Dude I am at school right now so I can't listen to it, but I will. I just wanted to comment on how Pro Tools is so awesome.

Ok, as for the intro and verses it rocks, but the chorus is weak (at least I don't like it). It sounds like you went from Nirvana to Creed, which is really really bad. No-one shold ever resemble creed! The vocals aren't to bad but the lyrics suck balls.
A good thing is your composition though, I like that and the solo is pretty good and well thought out. I also like the slowing down half time feel near the end, it's very hard to pull off things like that but you do it well.
I havn't got much time so sorry my comments suck but I have to go, will be back later.
Peace. :)

the intro was decent, but it went downhill from there. the vocals were weak and the guitar part became repetative. your drummer didnt do anything complicated, and the bass kinda drowned you all out.

Well Thanks everyone for your comments/input/criticism/and dislike. I greatly appreciate that. As to reply back to a few selected passages...
Lost of dislike for the singer. I'm going to guess its because his voice is mildly sappy/high? Please elaborate if you will.
Pro Tools is indeed pretty sweet...though I don't get to operate any of it :(
Hmmm...I would have never imagined the Chorus of the song being compared to Creed. Can you elaborate perhaps? Can you perhaps describe a chorus that would better suit the song?
Sonnet: I am the drummer. How could I improve according to your ears? (what could I add/change?)

well, more fills would be a good start... and maybe some sexier beats? :) the ones you have now are kinda generic to the genre

I'll work on adding some more fills. Since I'm a beginning drummer...I'm not too great yet at just pullin em out of my a$$...but I'll definately try to get some more excitment goin there on them drums.

ah thats probably why, i just didnt wanna come out and be rude by asking "are you new to drumming?" :)
yeah, fills are what a drummer should live for, or straight 16ths on a double bass pedal at 180bpm... god that is the coolest ever

I kind of liked the vocals, kind of like a high pitched Kurt Cobain, well thats what I thought anyway. The song seemed to go on too long, and towards the end the vocals were really starting to go crappy, losing the tune completely towards the end. Guitars were good, the drums worked well I thought, seemed to fit the music well, the beats were kind of bland but the fills were all quite effective.
