Can you judge my friends tune, listen to it... please

[Esquire]

my friends band just put a demo together, and some in the band want to axe this tune... I think that is a crime, this tune rocks

thoughts, they would need to rework the vocals but any thoughts?
thanks

I voted bad. Not because the song is terrible, (though it's not my taste) but here's my reasons:

1. I think the song is kinda slow
2. I think it's mixed poorly. Sounds too...mid-range. Kinda "Tinny".
3. I think the singer is just flat on some notes.

 

[Esquire]

thank you... the flat will go

I agree. With the above.

It's too slow and the singing (lead and harmony) are flat at times. I think the guitar solo is too long, too.

 

[Esquire]

p.s. this didn' get mixed down yet, so it's pre production

the flat notes are rough

wow.. i was trying to think of how to explain it-- this sums it up really good though.

i like the song, it has a lot of potential, but its definetly to 'tinny'. needs some bass.
i dont mind the slowness.. its pretty chill and mellow, in a good way.

maybe it just needs to be re-recorded, but it could be good... just needs to be worked on a little. It would be really cool sped up as a punk/ska song.

the words are cool though. who wrote the song?

I voted good. I like the tempo, it's a good chill song. I bet this song would song good live. As for studio work goes, Pro-Tools and Autotune can "fix" a bit and then some but that's besides the point.

It's already been established that it's a pre-production so the tinniness can be adjusted easily. The bass part does need to be brought out, not necessarily louder but brighter, to me, the tone is too muddy. Sounds like a Jazz bass with the bridge pickup set to max.

my friend Jim wrote the tune, he's the drummer, a poet too

they wanna AXE THE TUNE FROM THE DEMO...

i can't belive it... it's catchy

I think it's a cool mellow groove. The song itself is pretty nice.

The mix needs a bit or work. Not that they'd listen to some dude off the internet, but...

The drums seem to be spread out in the stereo field pretty well, but the guitars should be split off to the sides a bit more - it's too centralized. The bass could use a bit more presence maybe - it's round and smooth, but doesn't have any punch, so it seems lacking. The background vocals are definitely off. In the chorus, I'd record a LOT more tracks and then just compress the hell out of the backing vocal mix - give it a really big sound, but keep it back enough in the mix that it doesn't sound big, only "full."

Oh - and I'd use a more aggressive lead guitar tone, because it's too similar to the rhythm guitar in sound, but that's just a preference thing.

I like the tune though.

Good song overall, makes me relax...

Agree with the flatness at times...

 

[Esquire]
