Thread: Please critique "Paper Ships"

I'm downloading the song now, will reply shortly.....

What a surprise ! Totally creative and original piece, was a real pleasure to listen !! Takes a number of unexpected but pleasant turns. First rate recording, mixing, and arrangement. Excellent rhythm tracks, the drumming is complmentary to the mood of the song and very creative(I love the triplets in the drums). I also love the fact there are power guitars here without resorting to the usual wall of midrange, distorted blur one usually finds in this genre. Tight, prescise performance, good balance and EQing of instruments, very clear and distinct. Definitely commercial ready tune, great progressive alternative rock at it's best !! Wonderful job.
