Watchmaker - Very nice leading bass. Very Alfred Hitchcock. Vocal melody in the verses I'm not too fond of but I'll survive. The screaming is really annoying. Went a bit epic with more than what I think is one song in there.
Ricin - by far my favourite of the three though I don't know why there's a drum intro. The tomtom and cymbal also sounded pretty bad in that roll. Think the vocalist sounds best here. The screaming doesn't bother me too much because of the lack of the guts part. |
Thanks for the review! All things that were trying to keep in mind when we hit the studio next time. I can't remember why we put the drum intro into Ricin, we purposefully used a different drum sound than what is in the rest of the song, I honestly can't remember why.
