I'd raise the vocals up more. They're sitting too deep in the mix. Gotta hear those pipes :) Great chorus. I love the backing vocals. This one’s a lot of fun. I’d raise the vocals up more.

I think it is irrelevant that the riff is similar to that other song since it has a different feel and melody. It's not exactly a distinctive riff, it's what you do with it that counts. That's the essence of pop music right there. The high vocals are perfect. It's time to form the supergroup, gentlemen. Wow, this turned out pretty damn rocking.

Good sounding drums. Thought the main vox were a bit low during the verses, but the high harmonies in the chorus were sweet. I'm torn between whether this song is a bit repetitive or if its just the sort of song that works that way. Just don't know sometimes. Good job.

I like how the melody interacts with the rhythm section. That's a big thing for me with rock&roll: I love when the melodies and background play off each other in interesting ways, both rhythmically and tonally. There are so many bands where the guitar and bass just do the same simple eigth-note rhythm in every song that they play. That's boring to me. I like this, though, because there's a certain swing to it. I like the vocal effects during the chorus too. Good stuff. I like how the melody interacts with the rhythm section.

It's an excellent song. Certainly one of your top three, and, from the sound of it, ready to put on an EP and sold to the masses. Good work. Don’t listen to that. It’s an excellent song.
