It's a terrible feeling we've all had but rarely confront. Probably for the best honestly...

So punky it hurts. My only critiques are going to be mix related.

I would apply a little more compression and reverb deadening before processing (ERA-R is a good plugin for this) to your vocals. They could also probably come up by about .2 dB but compression might fix that.

Your 2:30 little bridge sounds great. Then that spacious sound dies out when the chorus comes back in. That tells me either you yeeted those synths down, or compression is killing your sound. Make sure your synths come through the chaos by shaving off low end on guitars, vocals, and indeed the synths themselves. The magic number seems to be around 250 hz.

Your kick sounds really boxy, like it has a ton of 60 hz. I might sub it out for an airier kick or turn it down some, and play with the EQ some to get a cleaner sound. As is, it's a little muddy.

Also, I felt robbed we cut out at 2:53. Let that note ring out, dammit! :P

Otherwise, pretty banging track. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! Thanks for coming out to NGUAC

Thanks for the feedback! The ending actually cuts out fast because it leads into another song.

Fuck! I love this piece!!!! It's just a really raw and powerful song.
It's rare to find songs on NG that are actually played by real musicians and not just keyboard heros.
KEEP up the good work!

AjSkull responds:

Whoa that's such a great compliment!!! Thanks so much you made my day!

Awesome job bringing glory to this often unfairly maligned genre. You definitely do it justice. The chorus is incredibly well written, as any pop punk chorus should be, and the lyrics are way above par compared to alot of pop punk stuff lol. Kinda sounded a bit like Streetlight Manifesto sans the horns. But also way more atmospheric than that band? Great shit, yo

AjSkull responds:

Whoa!!! That's awesome! Thank so much for listening!

So throwbacky dude i love it!

AjSkull responds:

Thanks!!!

This gives me strong old Blink-182 vibes and I love it, keep up the great work!
