hey spirithunter...
i downloaded 'eyes on me' and i really like the song itself, although it seems a little long for that style of song. Also, the measure or two before the chorus started seemed to suck up the energy. Besides that i loved the peaks and valleys of the verse and chorus.
when it came to the mixing i would say that maybe the vocals have a little too much effect on them, i could stand to hear a little more dry vocals. it also seemed like the vocals were a little bit behind in some spots?? i like the voice itself though, and i think you did a good job singing.
i liked most of the guitar work, but they seemed a little bit lose in some spots (distorted parts) and i thought the distortion may have been a little bit shreddy for that style of music.. but maybe that's just me.
One thing i think your mix might be lacking is the use of backup vocals... I know it's not required to make a good song, but (as a bad religion fan) i find it extremely powerful in great songs.
overall i think it's a good song. I give it a B
keep up the good work, i'll download the next one soon.
Is your recording / mix any good? Find out here!

Hey headswitch, i listened to your song.
I appreciate the fact that you used an odd time signature for the song. One criticism i could give that song is the repetitiveness of it. I think it needs to change a lot more throughout. I'm a drummer and i know those drums were sampled but I think they needed to do a little bit more. The guitar playing was all tight, but like i said, i think that rhythem guitar needs to do something different at some points, because it gets very repetitive. The song already has a very defined feel to it, so If i were you, I would try to put some busy guitar work in there and try to give that song some energy.
oh and i don't know if this is just a technical error or not, but the song i downloaded doesn't really end, it just kinda stops at 3:27, if that's how the song ends then definetly try to tighten that up.
all in all it's a cool song man, definetly stick with it.
