It's dark and emotional.  I would really enjoy hearing this live as the 
wall you build up is solid. A big grunty stack would be like leaning 
into a high wind ;-) The sound is similar to my old band in it's bass 
richness. We were just bass, drums and fx though.

A couple of small timing issues on track one which will be hard to mask 
but you may be able to clean them up with the mastering process. 
Otherwise I assume you want a bit of syncopation to give the ambience an 
uneasy feeling?

You got the right sound for your voice too. Really fits the mood.




Cheers.
