What can I say? It's brilliant and I love the guitar solo. Vocals are real nice too. Maybe your only problem here is the recording quality. Get in the studio and record it properly!! Also, a smoother transition from clean to heavy would work better I think...maybe a slight fade in/up?

lol thanks...I'm 14 by the way..

I am a hard critic, but wow, that was good. I wasn't fond of the vocals in the harder parts of the song and I agree that you guys need a smother transition. Solo sounded good, bass was nice and I liked the vocals. That was better than most, you guys did a really good job.

Keep at it.

Are you serious??! I only started playing at 16 and I'm 21 now...still can't solo like that. Ahh crap!

Giood job though!

Great song. This is kinda tough to crit. so I'll have to be especially picky. I don't really like the vocals. They're still good, but just not what I like personally. The transition from clean to heavy, as people have already said, was pretty rough. The guitar solo was great though. I would have prefered the bass to be a bit punchier and cut through the mix a little more. I think that might improve the song. Also, it wasn't terrible or anything, but I think the bass and drums should work more on getting in the pocket. Finally, the recording quality wasn't great, but its understandable to not have that great of quality on a first song. Overall, this song was pretty cool. I'm not quite sure its my favorite style of music, but you certainly did a bang up job!

I have to say, I enjoyed listening to this. I liked everything except the drumming. Your drummer's beats were very bland, and there was no variation in his fills... they were basically 16th note snare hits and stuff. The guitar was bad *** and I loved the solo. I haven't heard many people here who are as good as you at your age. Your singer is pretty good... his style reminds me of Eddie Vedder's. His voice sounds a little weak in the harder parts of the song, but it might be the shitty recording quality. You guys would sound a lot better with proper recording equipment.

Well I'm the bassist...our guitar player is 17 and has been playin since he was 15...our drummer is 15-16 and his beats were horrible for that song...when he tried the drum line intended for the song...he couldn't here the play back...so he had to make is simple, the drums were also only recorded with a Shure SM-58 so yeah, thanks for the good feedback.
