I've not listened yet, but I'm going to make a concerted effort tomorrow...

[forge of idols]

ach, bebo is for divs.
i'm going to type what i thinks.

sins of the flesh is good, as you mentioned its a home demo- i like the guys voice- its a bit aberdeeny, but you can work on that. Holy bible-ish (pre-pies james dean bradfield), intelligent rock. aye it's fucking better than captain face/etc etc.
it's a bit wuggy chuggy metal- but the melodys grand.
i dinnae like the bass playing it's a bit " metallica instrumental", sack the metaller and get a kim deal-er.

i'm going to listen to them all.

in my shoes

like the intro gallup, likes a bit like that there alice in chains.
sounds a bit like the other one. the singing gets a bit aberdeeny on this one.
holy fuck, folk in aberdeen are going to like this, it's a bit popcorn fiend( the bloke that was in subsistence).
it's nae got much of a tune.
mair metallica bass playing.


seasick

right see i like this, its a good riff and that- this time the guitars are a bit like metallica. the vocals get waaay to aberdeeny on this one- like that boy Grieg or Element ten past six.
i do like it though.

finally a tune.

get rid of the widdly bits though.


repeat offender

its a bit funky.





holy fuck, here we go-
for home demos it sounds great, i think the vocals are the best point- as soon as you get rid of that wanky aberdonian rocker sound i could listen to this- try ripping off ziggy fae found and mixing it with the cunt fae twilight sad and run it through yer manics pedal and it should be great.

the shape of songs is there, stop the widdly bassist if you can- if you cant simply play louder than him/her- or as i have found most widdly bassists really want to play guitar, shift him onto guitar and get some one to play simple bass.

its good though.


if i had beebo i would get it checked out first and then probably add you to see what else you made.

I liked it...an i added you...

Alice In Chains are my favorite of all time band...

Did you record with one or two guitars?
Songs are good (apart from Repeat Offender which as said is too funky and just cheesy), but they seem to just drag on too much.

Not the best feedback but better than no feedback.

Wow thanks man, that's exactly the kind of constructive feedback that makes this forum worthwhile, Sorry to see you've got yourself banned after it though! OK reet, first off the guy's voice is my voice so feel free to slate it :-) Personally I love our widdly bassist, I think a few of our songs are quite basic and chord-y, and his fills and general madness add a lot to the sound. it sets us apart a bit I think, it might take a bit of getting used to but I'm all for it, in fact I think our sound depends on it, if we lost Ron we'd be fucked IMO. I never really noticed the Manics comparison before, aye I guess there is a hint of that in there. We've added some lead bits into Sins now to fill it out a bit. With In My Shoes I was going for the good old quiet LOUD quiet LOUD thing that I grew up on. We'll try and lose the 'wanky aberdeen rocker' sound as soon as I figure out what that is Thanks for the feedback.

Good, cheers! Thanks for taking the time to listen and for adding us, we really appreciate it. I say your comment on our Bebo, we don't have any gigs lined up yet, but we've been buried away practicing practicing practicing so that when we do finally start gigging we'll actually be good. Plus we've just got a new guitarist and he is learning all the songs so once he's up to speed there'll be no stopping us! We've been offered a couple of slots, including in the moorings, we're hoping to be out and about by May at the latest so please do look out for us.

Agreed they do drag on a bit, as was said before in the previous posts in this thread. These were just demos recorded as soon as we wrote them, and as you know your songs change and develop over time, we have gone back through them and changed a lot, taken bits out and shortened them, added some new lead parts so they are a lot snappier now and don't drag as much. We will be re-recording final versions of them which hopefully will flow better.

We recorded with just me playing guitar but I did stick in a few lead parts just for the craic. We'ev got a lead guitarist now though which has really opened our sound out, we sound a lot better for it. I hope you'll listen to our next set of recordings cos they will be a lot better. Thanks for the feedback.

Right, I've had a listen to a couple of your songs... Whilst my bollocks have not been blown off, they're alright - you can immediately tell that your in thrall of early 90's grunge/alt. rock (no bad thing).

I don't think that the recordings are doing the songs justice, so I'd be keen to see you guys live and make my mind up that way.

I think your sound will definately benefit with the extra guitarist rather than just the one that you recorded with.

Tough crowd. Good feedback though, especially from The Man of Doom. He knows what he's talking about.
