Guest idol_wild Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 The vocals aren't really up my street in general terms, but in spells, I think they compliment the instrumentation quite well.Loving the dynamics evident even via just one guitar.I dig.

I wish i was an awesome singer so i could dial in some super neat hooks, but we just gotta work with what we've got. Hard to tick all the boxes. Entirely understandable why some folks may not like it though.Yeah the guitar playing is good, Ross has got the dynamics pretty sussed. Just one channel on his amp as well, no boosts or cuts or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, there are moments when the vocals work completely - on other moments I ignore them and prefer to focus on the instrumentation. Very much looking forward to seeing it in a live capacity. Get it done! I'm glad something like this has finally surfaced in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 only echoing what other people have already said, i really like this. the bit in 'one' where you get all aggressive and shouty is ace. somewhere halfway through the song, i seem to remember. anyway, well done. look forward to the gigs!

Huw Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 if everything goes to plan we will hopefully get some better quality recordings done over the next few weeks. exciting times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sounds pretty good man. I listened to all three tunes last night.Drums take a bit of a back seat in the mix, but some nice intertwined guitar and bass work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
