It should have more reverb and instruments, especially percussion. It sounds too empty and it is too short.. it does not sound bad but i think it has a lot more potential

Thank you LaserVision I am working on a new one and promise will focus on more percussion.
Wow I cannot believe you made this without having played an instrument prior to this.. It does sound very dynamic. The mixing sounds somewhat horrible though; as by now you probably have much more experience
When I made this song I had no idea what mixing was. I layered so many instruments that even a pro wouldn't manage to mix them correctly. Some months later, after I learned how to mix, I tried to "fix" this song. Consequently it lost its dynamicness, power and flow (although the mix that time wasn't too bad), so I didn't upload a better mix. The flaws in the mixing and mastering process made the song sound cool. At the moment I try to make a well mixed song sound as dynamic as this one, for I believe that my other songs lost dynamicness because of my mixing. The irony...
As a bass player I really love that bass tune! Good job with the sound mixing! I wouldn't change much about the track except add some clean vocals for it :P, it would sound less boring around the 1 minute mark. The riff at 3:34 - 4:02 though.. easily the best part!!
Thanks for listening and reviewing.
This track (and the others I'm rebuilding) used to have vocals, but all the voice recordings went lost when my old PC fried on a short circuit.
The vocals could be improved slightly, as you admitted yourself. You did a great job with the lyrics, summarising the dark shit of the american society. Respect bro!
Thanks man! I plan on recording the vocals again this weekend. Then spend a day mixing them a bit. I'm still a novice at audio production, so my emphasis recording this time is really going to be on strengthening my flow.
I dig it!! Simplistic but amazing. ;)
There we go! Sounds much better now ;) 5/5!!
Damn.. I wish I could say that I made this. The mastering was spot on too!
Thats so nice, thanks!
You are already aware of the mastering so I'll skip that part :P Love the part around 2 minutes, but after that I feel that the song ends a bit abruptly, it sounds unfinished in a way. I would add at least one extra minute. The beginning should have had a slower and longer build to it. The drums would have sounded perfect to me if the hi-hat was just a little bit more quiet. I've already looped about 4 times, just throwing out some constructive criticism to make a good song even better :d
I did indeed rush the ending of this song. I was getting bored with it (that should have been a red flag) and wanted a finished product as fast as possible. But I've learned my lesson!! Thanks for the criticism, it really helps!!!
