Here's my totally honest opinion (and I'm hard on myself - I won't even post anything of mine).

I think it's very good. Your voice is good, your guitar playing is steady.

I think I'd cut back the echo on the vox just a bit. Make it a little less obvious that it is there. Then bring it forward a bit more in the part where you are singing a lot harder. It would make for a nice variation in the song, and give it more depth.

Where's the chorus? I think the We Are Strange would make a good chorus that I would use 2-3 times in the song. Especially it would be nice if it shifted gears from the chord progression you stick with in the song.

I like the way the dynamics build from the beginning to the solo and then back off.

I think the guitar solo needs to be a little less aggressive to fit the mood of the song better. It might even be nice if the song shifted back a bit in the intensity for the solo - it'd be a nice dynamic shift. You could then kick it back up for a big ending.

Lyrics are kick-ass. Really top notch.

So take those dynamics and build to a nice high-pitched chorus and you are to be a top ten hit. Just remember we all knew you when!

thanks man. That song just originated out of 2 chords, there's a chorus there, but it's only lyrical.

 

It was a song I wrote for an old band, and I played electric and had another guitarist on the song, so I just did a simple dumbed-down version of it.

 

thanks for the constructive critisism, and the kind words:)
