"I'm going to remix a track that is 1.7 seconds long" is the ballsiest shit I've ever seen ....is what I would have said, had I not seen you *OUTLINE THE SOURCE USAGE* in the description below it. That is, in fact, the ballsiest shit I've ever seen. Something is going on with these hits that, while awesome, almost makes them sound like they're clipping. I think that's what proph is saying above with rattle. Performance wise, this thing is off the chain. I love the arrangement. It's in your face, but not too much so. You've got just the right amount of howling guitars, you give the ear a break at just the right times from the WALL OF SOUND, and you've got some great complex rhythms in there on all the instruments. There's no rinse-and repeat here. The end of what I'll call "Act 1" at 2:30, man I love that guitar riff leading into the break that gets us to Act 2. I think I need more of that solo at 3:20. IT's a good performance that's mostly buried. FUCK yeah at 3:42 at the entrance of what I am calling Act 3. That was so cool. Same issue with the ripping guitar noodles going on starting at 4:00. You're doing it, so GIVE IT TO ME. The build at 4:30 leading to the end is great. It's so headbang worthy. I think automating the volume on the rain at the end would be a better choice; it was interfering with my enjoyment of the instruments. So have it fade in so that when it comes out, we then understand it's rain. Before that it's too distracting to my ear. I'm absolutely passing this, but my one major consistent beef is that I need more fullness. Is it that we need more bass from the bass? Possibly. It could be something to fix in mastering rather than mixing. I was ABSOLUTELY CRAVING more low end when the half time hit came in at 1:30, and it just wasn't there. On a subsequent listenthrough, I was able to fulfill some of my need for BLEED by just cranking my speakers, but having just listened to several other mixes there was something that told me that the mix could probably have more. Looking back at the judges above (I try not to do that on first listen) I have to agree with Larry on the bass not coming through, and I think doing so would make this just...epic. Great job overall.
