Another critique (finished product)

[Eric Perry]

Hey guys,

My buddy finally got his masters back from the studio on a 10 song disc we did quite a few months back (well, it's HIS disc technically, I just wrote/recorded all the bass parts). Granted, the sound quality isn't great as he was on a pretty tight budget, but I think the tracks came out pretty good.

This is a song called Nothing To You that we wrote collectively years back when we were in a band together. I cannot take credit for any lyrics, but I co-wrote the music. He recorded everything on this track except the bass and the drums. I did the bass parts, and we had a studio cat come in to lay the drum tracks.

Any feedback you've got for me (good OR bad, I'm easy) is very welcome. Thanks in advance!

Damn..... Nuthin'?

The bass line is a great example of a simple yet tasteful bass line that really serves the song well.

Sounds good to me!

[Alucard817]

i would do a little fill at the begining when the guitar holds the chord (right before the vocalist comes in.) but thats just me.

other then that less can often be more.

[Eric Perry]

Thanks, guys!

[Eric Perry]

Wow. Tough crowd in here!

It sounds good... but you wanted honesty, right?

To me it sounded like a thousand other songs and I thought it was very predictable. Maybe thats what people want now.

But, like I said, it did sound good.

Yeah man. I sincerely appreciate the honesty. You're right, it's definitely in that predictable and overdone genre, but unfortunately that's what grab's (most) people's attention anymore, i.e. craptacular bands like Nickelback. I'll be honest, my writing skills are so piss-poor that I admit I couldn't do any better! Haha. Thanks for giving it a listen!

No problem. Like I said... it sounded good.

[LukeeeeBennett]

Wow, I really like it.

I'd like to hear more Kick drum though.

This is a good listen.
Post when you have more.

[Eric Perry]

Thanks! That's the only mastered track I got so far. I'll gladly post a few more as they roll in.

[sloasdaylight]

Posting so that Perry doesn't have to be "that guy."

Also, the rest of you stop being slackers and listen to it dammit.

[Zombbg4]

It's super generic and borderline cheesy, but as others have said it sounds good. Nice playing!

[crusie]

great vocalist - as others have pointed out it does sound like something you've heard a million times before - could have been bon jovi or nickelback or lifehouse ( try listening to "all in"). that doesn't mean it's crap - it actually means that you guys have some ideas that's comparable with some of the class acts in same genre. I'd say that's pretty nice

[AltGrendel]

I'm with WayneS and crusie on this.

Kinda ok, good production, and "so, what else ya got?"

[Eric Perry]

Hey guys,

Here's another to give a listen to. PLEASE provide your feedback. Good OR bad. I want honesty. This is called Hide And Seek, and it's a little heavier. It's straightforward cheesy rock song, but I really like it.

THANKS in advance!!!!
