Yes, yes you will.
Although the song sounds best on a full system with lots of bass. And one that is loud.

Not my style of music, but the intro (pre-vocals) was really, really awesome.
Production was incredible. Sounds pretty much proffesionally made.
Seemed a tad short though.
edit: I'll give it another listen tomorrow when it isn't 2am :lol:

Well, that was the point. A kinetic blast, but I don't wanna get into that.
Didn't like the vocals?

Nah, the vocals we're well done, as are all of your other vocals. Just not my style

musically, the song was awesome.
but as dave said, i don't really dig your vocals. i liked the part when you were screaming though.. just not really a fan of the raspy talking/singing thing you do.

It felt like the drums, especially the snare, could have been louder. Your voice needs to blend a little better with the synth in the chorus, maybe just lower it in the mix at that point a little. Sonically, everything sounded good as far as eqing goes, as least on my computer speakers. I wasn't really feeling the song until the vocals kicked in and you started playing sh*t off the them (dnb type stuff too, diggin that), and it got awesome. The intro didn't hook me in, but that's just me. It's good to see music from people who have established a unique style and actually have direction.

Thanks, big daddy. I had some issues with the scream tone and the synth, but I think it depends on what you listen to the song on. Put it in your car, crank the song up. The lower frequencies (which only come out with a good system) tend to blend everything together alot more cohesively.
Also, about the drums: I agree, they could be louder. It would really help make the song even heavier. Again, I say listen on a good system. You'll hear the drums. =) Although I do wish the snare and cymbal work was more audible, as it is very glitchy and adds alot of good kinetic energy.

Just turn up the snare. That's all I ask.

Sh*t man I'm loving the microKORG.
Like, your stuff isn't something I would listen to regularly, since I'm just not really into this kind of thing, but I can appreciate it for sure. Awesome beats, awesome synths, awesome production.

Musically, this was pretty much your best song. The synth is insane, drums are awesome, crazy feeling. Not a huge fan of the screaming choruses, but the raspy verses are great. Probably one of your best.
Good Work :thumb:

Good synth. That microKORG was probably the best purchase you've made. I like the subtle things you've got going on with the vocals during the verses, with the lower and the higher vocals on top of each other. The song is pretty much relentless. It just doesn't let go. I almost feel that the vocals could have been up a bit more in the mix.
I'm not sure the change in sound at the end when you're screaming matches at all, though. Good scream, though. Really good. Sounds like you paused for breath in a really awkward spot, though. :lol: Disrupted the flow of it for me. It lacks a certain amount of impact, though, maybe because of the volume level of the vocals. But I'm only listening to this on my headphones because that's all I've got, so maybe on a good sound system, it would make less of a difference.

Did you change it since you sent it to me?

i have to say, i normally really don't like your vocal tone, but you got a really sweet *** scream thing going on in this one. i also love the synth line. i used to be so unimpressed with the microkorg and the sounds it made (atleast what i've heard from it) but i really think you've got that baby set.

yah, added some more effects and subtle vocal manipulations to make it flow more cohesively.

gooooood. The only thing i thought of was at the beginning instead of singing the lyrics right away, just wail a little for a measure then sing. Just a thought really...
