Please listen thru the whole track before replying. Also what do you think of the recording in general?

Thanks

I'd say straight up hard rock. Maybe a little indie? Kind of reminded me a little of Neil Young, actually (the rhythm guitar parts). Good recording.

Thank you for responding and sorry i didnt respond sooner myself,havent been to this forum in awhile

So, Hard Rock? Cool, The reason i asked is because i just joined Taxi and i want to send it in for specific genre listings and have gotten everything from power pop to Psychedelica when i ask people which genre to place it in.

Thanks for the kind words.

Just a lil saying people put at the end of messages to seem light-hearted. Since this is an internet forum, if we're trying to convey something secretly we'd go about it quite obviously


About the song, I'd agree with the boys up there. Well done.

Do you really want an honest critique of your work? In my opinion, anyway?

I assumed that since you asked if i really wanted an opinion you didnt want to post in on a forum.

Re: What genre would you call this song?

Fair enough.

IMO, "Choices Made" and "Mr. Machine" are cliche at best and do nothing for me.

On the other hand, I think that with a little direction, "Lonely Light" has some real potential. I can hear that tune being a hit in more than one genre. I would rethink the drum part, among other things, but that's the most obvious to me.

You asked for opinions and you got an honest one from some anonymous idiot on the internet. Take it for what it's worth.

I wish you success, my brutha.

Thanks for taking the time to listen. Oddly enough when played live we gett a lot more response to Choices Made and Mr Machine than Lonely Light. Usually the people who listen to the harder stuff like Lonely Light.

Also i would rather have honest opinions than insincere ones. Everyone has differnet tastes(i cant stand KISS for one, and they seem to have made a little money off of this) and i dont expect everyone in the world to love everything that emerges from my amp............ maybe want, but not expect
