The demos are officially DONE!
I've been listening to the song as an album and I have the official tracklisting all set, so now I'm listening for problems to solve.
One issue I did have was that one song, 'Crimson', not only would've brought down the whole album, but it very obviously isn't complete. I'm gonna bring down to a semi-acoustic level and tweak the lyrics to make them an anti-suicide song, which is a very important subject to me. So expect it on the second album.
So I replaced 'Crimson' with a sped up, downtuned cover of Alice Cooper's 'Caught In A Dream'. If Van Halen can put two covers on their debut, I can too.
So for those (GP and apparently nobody else) who are interested, the final tracklisting is:
1. Off To The Races
2. Theme
3. Air
4. Better
5. Gone For Good
6. Sweet Suzie
7. White Winged Angel
8. Caught In A Dream
9. Upon The Midnight Shore
10. Crocodile Rock
11. Morning Song
12. Where Are You
I am so stoked to get started on final mixes this week!

Ok, the first 6 songs of the album (in demo form) are up in order. This way you can kinda get a feel for the pace of the album. Fair warning: 'Gone For Good' is entirely 100% different than what will be on the album, but it's still the same tempo.

Indeed.
So in other news, I think the vocals are done. A few songs are definitely done, but for the most part I'm at least satisfied with everything which is a big step for me as I hate my voice.

I like the songs you have on MySpace, the kind of rock I'm looking for once in a while.

As per usual, I am going to be a critical son of a bitch.
--------------------
Off to the Races:
Stop holding back with your vocals. Shout!!!
The high-hat drums are too abrubt with their disipation.
In the intro, bring the drums in about 4-5 seconds earlier.
---------------------
Theme Sex Drugs and Rock n' Roll
Stop holding back with your vocals. Shout!!!
Chord Progression is good
Lyrics are good on this one, but you need to say them like you mean them.
Tighten up that solo.
---------------------
She's My Air
Stop holding back with your vocals.
Fade the drums in quicker
You sound uncomfortable with the lyrics on this one. Like they are forced on the music. Sing them like you feel, not like you think they should go.
---------------------
More reviews coming soon
