ok, i want to add a couple ideas
- I listened to that song as I listen to a live performance. And it is a great live performance, I actually would love to see it live. I would even love to see a complete concert like this. So, I think from that perspective it is a great track.
Now if you'd ask me this is our next track for a CD, yes I could make some remarks on the production, mixing,... remarks that I'm not sure I would dare to make because I know that you're way better in production then I am, and this is all very subjective.
- The vox... the guy sings and tells a story and believe in the story he tells, which is the most important. To be honnest, it IS a rock song, so who cares if it is 100% on pitch, ever went to a concert of Bruce Springsteen, to just name one example???
Azell here is a professional when it comes to singing and has perfect pitch, I asked here to comment the vox on the song. Conclusion, it is at least 95% on pitch which is above average of most singers. What could give the impression of been slightly out of tune, is the fact the singer has the ability to slide with his voice from one note to another, and this is a quality. Not all people have the ability or experience to do this. It is the difference between singing a B and a A and realy sliding from B to A with the voice.
- And finally some extra comments from me. It is a rock solid rock song. I allready mentioned it, but the drummer and bass are having a ball playing together, you can just hear how much fun they have and this is the base for a good rocksong, it puts the groove in place for the song and you can hear that all other members of the band feel this and are having fun.
This is what music is all about.
What I like about the KM forum here is that most of us listen to a song as listening to performance and appreciate the song as it is performed and don't start picking on details like 'could you compress the drums a bit more'
Just my opinion but I like to defend it
Now, is this a review or not
I would love to hear more songs like this here !
