Another song, but with much more acoustic/ballad content in parts

Ooh. Hard rock with melody and harmonies. Nice... Even a bit of Iron Maiden influence at about 3:05

Main vox is a bit overcompressed for my tastes and the drummer is a bit loose in places, otherwise no complaints. Well done.

Haha, thanks. The drummer has seriously only been playing drums for a year... No, I don't believe it either.
I never noticed the Iron maiden thing... I guess I can hear it... I find them to be one of the most
boring bands of all time but they were pioneered and are still blasted relentlessly on British
music television bytheway... (or at least they were in 2002 when I was there). its still
cool to heat these little things from other that I didn't pick up on.

Sounded cool. Vocals sounded a bit "forced American" if you will. Especially the "likes". I find myself doing it too, when I sing along to American rock. There's a natural way to do it and then there's not doing it at all. Either will help, methinks.

(And please don't take this critique badly, you've done 1,000,000x more than me in recording such an awesome song ?)

No offence taken. Just to be clear, I didn't record the session (as an engineer).
We have some offers so I'm guessing we will re-record and expect the producer
to make calls like that on the vocals etc. ? I don't think me telling the vocalist
that he sounded weird on certain words would really help much. But maybe. Will see.
