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...
