Right off the bat I hear timing issues. Gotta
mention that. This Christian rock band from Ohio has a good
strong sound, and a solid edge. The instrumentation is put
together well. For an all-original rock act they have very
good quality vocal styles…appropriate for the style. Stepping
back from the original impression, this project is definitely
a low budget and amateur recording and production. As a fun
project, it probably worked for them. Something they can
all look back on and smile about.
When I hit track 6 I was honestly frightened by the horn
section sound. Just cut it out all together! You have a good
songwriting style, and a nice album flow, but you have some
things to work on, and should consider recording in a good
quality-recording studio next time. I think you could come
up with something decent.
