Mike, I like the music on this one.  The vocals were in that gruff vein that is not my favorite, but you did a good job.  When do we get to hear the rest of it?

Glad you like the music!
Gruff is sorta where I was going with this one... am I really off and it's bad?

This album is goin very slowly for various reasons... personal stuff good and bad is really leaving me little time.

But... this will be finished before the summer ends!

My objection to the gruffness was completely subjective, there is nothing wrong with the gruffness outside of my opinion, and of course there is no good reason to conform to that.  :)  Zach mentions the pitch, and that is off a bit here and there (as best I remember, maybe its just one spot).  However, I was initially commenting on my personal preference for non-gruff.  Regardless, I like the clip and would like to hear more...

If you want to reach a broader audience with your music, you're gonna have to improve your vocals.  It's better to hear it from an anonymous guy on the internet than from someone in real life.

For a long time, I've said I agree with this. I get paid to make Instrumental tracks, not operas. This is more of my thing, if I ever decide to have a career in music beyond instrumentals, I'll form a group with someone talented in that field.

Oh, and there's also the Bob Dylan excuse...

Thanks man, and I don't mean I'm not trying. I am taking vocal lessons at the moment and hopefully that would improve the quality.

As for this one, it IS a demo... These vocals aren't gonna be anywhere near the album :P
