I'm not sure if this is wrong to do or not?

I just posted two new jams fresh off the mixing board and was wondering if you could tell me what you think of the bass lines and tone. www.myspace.com/thedialogueband is the link.

Thanks Justin!

Casio and tomhanzo: thank you so much for taking the time to check them out!

It means the world to me to have people listen to what we take so long crafting!

Keep the comments coming

Solid. Keep it up!

If you'll pardon the comparison: your band vaguely reminds me of a slightly tougher-sounding Melee, with a dash of Sloan mixed in.

Best of luck,
JMJ

Justin, that means the world to me that you checked out the tracks!

I don't mind those comparisons, both legit bands in their own right

Was there anything you'd say needed work or anything of that nature?

I'd love to send you a copy of the record when it comes out and/or masters as they come back in a few weeks.

Thanks again Justin!

I enjoy hearing your bass lines. They arent cliche, simple ones. They dont push to hard or try to make the song something it isnt--in particular oblivious sounds perfect. It sounds like you are playing in the right band.

congrats on the album.

Tomhanzo: that means a ton man. I try to stay pretty consistently pocket with my brother/drummer. We have a great sense for where each other are going to go and it makes putting our lines together and syncing them really easy. We've been playing together since I was about 15 and he was 17. Many years of great drumming helps create great pocket and tasteful playing

Thanks again tomhanzo!
