    Awesome, just great. It has a nice hook, but there's enough variation so it doesn't get boring, is that a fucking clown horn at 2:28? :rofl:.


    If i had to say anything about it, it'd be that i feel like it lacks a "lead", vocals, lead guitar, something that "sings" the main melody, because for now it feels like the bass is doubling as a lead at least on the chorus and feels like it's missing something. Also, the transition at 2:10 feels like a mistake, mostly because the cymbals cut in a weird way (maybe apply some fades here and there?) and the fingersnaps (claps?) pause for a little bit in an odd moment and continuity breaks a bit too much.

    the only thing i don't like (i think) is the room the drum were recorded in? i think there should be some reverb on drums or something but someone knowing better could confirm i am not sure

    i think altiverb could do miracles

    Interesting tune. Big Queen fan aren't we?
    I agree with mk_96 though in that I feel there needs to be a more melodic line to tie everything together. Brave of you to open up to the forum and get critique on your artistry. Not all of us can do that. I have never done so myself, but, with consent from my song writing partner, may offer something interesting soon....
    Peace all:wink::bow:

    It may take a while before the melody/lyrics and lead/background vox take shape.

    This is really...interesting. My only critic is parts of the drums and keys sound a tad digital. Replace keys with a good synth or EzKeys or similar, I think would go a long way. Some sweeteners and or samples on the drums would be great.

    That said, maybe it's the style you're going for...

    Just what these fellas said. Stole my thoughts.
    What a composition/arrangement. Man... blew my sockets off. :shalom::beg:

    Perhaps the bass tone could be improved but just my taste. Wow man.

    If I may be a bit mean but in a funny way - Tesco Value Bohemian Rhapsody (I'm sorry lmao)

    Actual thoughts - it's really dry, some convolution reverb would do wonders (look into EastWest Spaces *winkwink*)
    There's also a big focus on the center and some panning would do wonders to clean up that congestion.

    Really enjoyed it though, it's pretty creative.
