Pendant new song - Escape

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/pendantmusic.htm

and later at http://www.mp3.com.au/pendant/

The song is "Escape".

And I reckon my vocals are ****, I've done so much better before but, whatever.. We were rushed

Enjoy.

soundclick was down, so I couldn't hear the new one... judging from your other ****e, I'm not missing out on much. Very amateurish, I hope you're no older than 12. The guitaring sounds like barres out of a "Learn guitar in 6 hours" manual. Ditto for the drums & bass. Thanks for giving me a headache though.

A lot of people dissagree with you. Although I agree on the fact that most of our recorded stuff is ****. Once we get our EP recorded we be set.

Also, this new song is profressionally recorded and not **** quality like the other ones.

Hmmm, in truth its not really the type of music i normally listen to, sounds too for me, without much action in the song... Still you have a lot of potential, I like both the soft and the heavy guitar riffs, they're pretty cool... i'd prefer it if I could hear a bit more bass, but maybe thats just not your bands style... your drummer needs to hit the things harder (but dont worry, i say that about most drummers).

I think you're pretty good, just work on the song a little, maybe make a better recording, i got more fond of the song the more it went on, but i feel it began to drag out a little at the end.


^^ reading what i've said it sounds pretty critical but dont take it the wrong way, i think you could be pretty good, just work on your stuff a little

I have to agree that was awful. I rather grind my balls with sandpaper then listen to that again. Get a new... everything before you record another song.

Trust me when I say I don't need to hit anything harder .

The drums at the studio were dead as ****, and that pissed me off to no end. The pedal was also crap, and the guy did some weird **** with the bass in the master and forgot to replace the distorted guitar track.

I'm sorta pissed off because of that, also we were rushed to record and that irriated me too.

hmmm... the whole track seems a little too slow for me. the vocals sound a little bit like... they don't fit? i'm not sure, they just bother me a little. the drummer's timing is off in a few parts.

your band seems like it has a lot of potential though. and a side note: the vocals seem a little high in the mix, but maybe that's just me.

if you have the time, please critique my latest song: http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252703

Your singer can't sing on key, music isn't really on time well with the metronome, the guitar doesn't really sound confident either.

I think you have potential, maybe with a singer who is more on key. The drums don't sound that bad, maybe mic them better.

It was done at a studio, I couldn't hear myself singing and I've done much better before and was totally pissed off with this song

Anyway, I did the vocals, drums, guitars, and my guitarist did the bass, back up vocals and extra guitar in chorus.

It sounds alright, backing vocals in the chorus didn't fit.

If you have a full band why didn't you just do a live take with everyone playing their own instrument?

Crappy singer, drums were ok, the guitar was bleh?

The song was slow, and the singer's voice didnt fit.

PRACTICE

Because there was only two of us, it was done through school and our bassist doesn't go to school with us and we haven't got a singer yet.

i felt like the singing was pretty emotionless & the music wasn't something new that would make me go like 'wow'. if you worked on these 2 areas it would be a good improvement for ur band.
