you might want to convert that to mp3. Its in .wav right now, and its 36megs. Wayyyyyyyyy too big. I don't know who you host through, but you'll run out of transfer space quick on that.

ok, I'm listening as I type.

The beginning, the fall back part...youre trying to sound like dave. Use your natural voice.

The verses sound pretty good...again, I hear you trying to twist your voice to sound like dave at times though. The vocs could use some more emotion arounnd the five minute mark. I don't hear much.

Ok, don't take this the wrong way, its constructive criticism...but your second guitar track was pretty bad from the 4:20 mark on. It was off rythmically, and it sounded cluttered.

Your voice has a lot of potential...don't be afraid to let it loose. Work a bit more on getting things clean, and you'll be in good shape. Nice job man. Seek up isn't the easiest song to do.

he's right about the fall back part, he is also right in saying that your voice has a lot of potential. im curious, did you use looping in that recording?
