hey jmj.
first of all, I'm an avid reader of your forum and I just can't thank you enough for all the insights you provide.
second: we (Elephant) have just released a (self-produced) videclip for our upcoming (self-produced) album.
getting your opinion on our song would be just great for me.

if you have time and will, here it is: YouTube - Elephant - No Euphoria [videoclip]

rock n roll from italy.

cheers!

thanks a lot man, getting some real world feedback (meaning NOT your friends') is really important.
thanks again!

great sound you got going, the production is a bit much for me, but it sounds cool.
the vocals aren't bad if you ask me, I likte this type of stuff, so I'm a bit biased!
not to steal your thread, but there's no point in creating a new one, so I thought I'd chime in with a new project I got together, so here's a clip

im gonna agree about the vocals, i think id have enjoyed it more as an instrumental, but i am biased towards instrumental music soo....

all the playing was good and i thought it well produced, and the video too.

also your bass tone is abolutely killer, especially in that intro section.

Melody is good but I didn't care for the overall sound of the song. Band is tight. Video was well done but jumped around too much for me. I agree with the other posters about the lead singer being the weak link.

I think it's great. Keep doing what you're doing. It's your sound and I like it.

THis is overall quite good! Beautiful slinky bass playing and sound, as well as a good synergy between you and the drummer that really comes alive in the second verse. I think those explosive moments where the whole mix sounds like it's being bit crushed are a little too dominating and take you away from the song, but that's ok, it's still fun. The singer needs to evolve a bit and become more open and unrestrained. All that aside, it's good. Keep doing what you guys are doing!

thank you all SO MUCH for all the useful feedback.
I think it's kind of reassuring to realize that somehow your thoughts reflect our own doubts on the song.
again, thanks so much!
this is truly inspiring...
