Re: My album is finished! (Oh Boy 3AM!! MWM)

Oh ok that's fine. No worries. Everyone has their own tastes. Yeah..some of the tunes on my soundcloud were for various projects (one is background music for a game I helped worked on that I'm hoping me and my group will continue and add onto)  or working versions of songs that I fixed and made better for the album release.

You have a weird taste in music, that's for sure! The cowbell song was hilarious.

My first impression is it's too choppy/jammy. If you like to experiment with different sounds I think there should be some sort of backbone. A beat, a recurring theme something like that. Alot of it reminded me of some of Bucketheads crazier stuff, but even he doesn't go to these lengths. I don't know what you want with this thing, but if you're looking to hook more "normal" people you should try and smooth some things out.

I've started by listening to the first two tracks. Gonna spin the rest at work tomorrow. I don't know why, but I really like crazy pasted together shit like this. I'm not gonna blow smoke up your ass and pretend it's something the PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR big_smile but I dig it so far. I think if this is what floats your boat you should keep doing this as much as possible and you'll get "better" at it, to what level I don't know. Anyways, kudos for the amount of effort that went into this at the least. I wish I put more time aside to fiddle with shit that made me happy.

Re: My album is finished! (Oh Boy 3AM!! MWM)

Thanks smoke...can't wait to hear your thoughts on the other tracks. Yeah that's the attitude I was shooting. Doing something I want to try and enjoyed doing it even though it wasn't a perfect process getting it together.  Oh yeah not going for best free online album of the year or whatever. No intentions to make a masterpiece here. Just a project I did in my free time that kept me sane and helped me express myself when going through alot these past couple of months with changes in myself and people I thought I knew.  Just wanted to make a sort of solo album that was basically a thank you letter to some close friends as well as the bands that I've loved or appreciated over the past couple of years (psychedelia, Daft Punk, other rock bands, Industrial rock, some hip hop vibes, blues, hard rock, and other elements) It's genre-less in a way. With the time and resources I had on my computer or at my house. ..and If some people liked it after it was finished than awesome and a plus. If not then it's fine with me. Not a problem.

@pollux: Well I am a fan of Bucket; but he wasn't an inspiration for the album. But some of my pals that are big Bucket fans outside of the Guns spectrum wanted to see if they wanted to produce something or add some vocals or instruments; but they couldn't at the time; so they added spoken word vocals and tried other things and something may happen again with more of a band focus later on in the future. Not sure.  Glad you enjoyed Cowbell #500. Moe (PhantomSpartan) made that song glorious and fun. We just jammed on various takes last year on cowbell and some percussion parts, gave him some song idea concepts, I sung some backup groove vocals, and he did the rest with the sampling and production.

Hoping to hear from Monkey and others very soon about it. I'm just happy I was able to get it out with my schedule changing and that friends and others on facebook or other sites were pleased with the results for the most part or others gave me feedback if they didn't like a particular piece or production choice. Do want to go back to this in the future and getting it mixed and maybe do something more with it; but in my eyes it's done whether or not I do a final studio mix. cool

I was able to do something more with it these past few months. Added a few new songs. A song has vocals from a friend and better production here & there. Fixed the editing and tried to mix it with the tools I have without having to pay a shit ton at a studio. Went to some old concepts and demos that weren't used for my group's game or any other projects at the moment. Just adding some finishing touches and edits.

SOMETHING IS COMING BACK...ON SEPTEMBER 14'TH!! cool

Had to get some more inspiration from the mighty, VAN HALEN! Due to my solo music project being inspired from it and some of my first full 15 track album too. Hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think when you get the chance! Take care! smile
