All I can hear is the snare drum and the auto-tune...

If you are serious I got some mixing to do! Or maybeeeee....you are just pissed about something I said earlier?

Anyway...thanx for listening and thanx for commenting!

The music is nice, but the guitars could be brought up in the mix and the vocal needs to come up a lot in the mix.
Make that vocal stand out and ride on top of the mix, not behind it. I'd like to hear this song after it's re-mixed.

There's a kind of Linkin Park vibe about this song, but with less guitars & no screaming vocals.
Not sure about the previous snare & auto tune comment. Sounds like someone's got an axe to grind!

I do agree that the vocals could be upped a bit, but then again that could be the feel you're after.
Nice synths & production. What do you use?

I'm listening on my ipad without headphones but I thought the snare was overpowering. I think there's a killer vocal in there but it's set too far back IMO. I'm assuming if you are going to use a comment posted on here for a quote on a website, you would check with the person who posted the comment first.

I believe Henwrench was serious, as I am listening now and have the same basic comments.  That snare is too loud and distracting, and the auto-tune on the vocals is really noticable and kinda nasty sounding, so Yes I would say the good Mr.Henwrench's comments are spot on.  The ending is very jarring, how it just ends suddenly.  I find the overall sound far to compressed, the guitars are practically non-existant, is there any guitar in this?  Its all hidden behind a thick wall of compression. I also don't get a sense of any bass in this track.  Its all to over-produced, over-compressed for my ears.  The vocals are totally lost in the thick fog of sound you have created.  The only other sound that is heard clearly is that stupid sounding squiggly sounding synth thing there bouncing along.  I am not sure what you were going for here, but it sounds very incomplete to me, a drastic re-mix may alieviate some of the problems, maybe or not.  Too muddy and compressed and overcooked production, too bad, there may have been a good song underneath all that sonic mud.

Alternate Tunings: CAUTION: your fingers have to be in different places

Listening on headphones, and the vocals are lost - like they're underwater or being murdered in the fog by Jack the Ripper. The snare is definitely too prominent. Snare down, vocals up.

There's a meaty & accomplished song in here, but (as Bluesberry says) it's all too compressed and overdone... no light and shade, just a rush of noise. And the autotune is far too gimicky for my more traditional tastes.

My main advice would be to think about the song, and make the production and arrangement serve that song - not some homogenized, copycat sound that fits whatever popular genre you're aiming for. That's just me though: being yourself / individual never got me anywhere, so maybe you're right in packaging your product in this way.
