New... old song.

I recorded a song this summer for a friend of mine. I like the song a lot. I think the recording is so so. Let me know what you guys think.

The song is listed as "Polar Bear" but it's actually called "Give Up" by Polar Bear.

Thanks!

Great playing and the vocals work well. You are at a bit of a disadvantage with the bitrate on myspace. I would like to hear a better version.

I like the tune and the performance!

Yeah, Myspace sucks. I might upload it to my soundclick site soon. I wish I still had the session file so I could work on it some more.

Yeah, myspace just doesn't cut it for auditioning recordings. If you really just want to know what people think of the song itself and its composition, that's one thing, but man, I just can't even listen to something like that and believe that it's anything close to what it was intended to sound like.

There's a song on this forum called "Crystal" that the guy has hosted on box.net. I think it's as good of mp3 quality as you're going to get, though I don't know the exact bitrate.

So, I wanted to say something more than just, "I wish I could hear it outside of Myspace." I listened to the two other bands whose songs you posted and they sound much fatter than the Polar Bear tune.

I like the way you record/mix drums. The snare pops like crazy and the toms sound tight, too. I would like to hear some of the qualities of the other two songs on the Polar Bear song.

Thanks man. I record the Polar Bear song about 8 months ago. Since then, my recordings have gotten a little better. I'm recording a lot of bands within the next month, so I'll have some more stuff up.
