Funk-rock track off my new solo project. I think it sounds pretty good, but maybe I'm just insane? I am in dire need of reassurance and/or critique. I've listened to my tracks so much now that I'm naturally adapted to them, so I want to try them on some fresh ears. Specifically, I'd like to hear opinions of my track based on these two points:
1. How it sounds from an emotional perspective. Barring any technical/production impurities, does the track have soul and balls? Does it move you? Is it unique/interesting? How does it sound from the perspective of the AVERAGE listener?
2. How it sounds from a professional/commercial standpoint. Quality of the recording and the mix.
**Note: I realize I use a lot of reverb, but I feel it adds to the "coked out" ambiance I want for this jam**
Thanks so much guys!

a great example of how a song critique post should be done ... with specific questions.
it doesn't sound like "FUNK" in the least to me. it actually reminds me of a lot of the stuff the bands in San Francisco played back in the 60's .....
for once i agree with Remy (i'm a-scared!) in that the drums should be louder ... so should the bass. other than that, i think it sounds fine.
Conceptually I like your mix. Critically speaking, the drums are
Conceptually I like your mix. Critically speaking, the drums are lost. They should be predominant and they're not. It should kick ass. But it feels like a wet noodle.
I don't think you used too much reverb? It's an effect, well executed.
I don't put much credence into this as a commercial release. To me it's not ready. And no, it has no balls. None. It's a nondescript slather of sound. The vocals are cool however. So at least one element works. What about the rest?
