i like vile emissions of pattern the most

they are programmed, i used EZdrummer in flstudio

my favorite track is definitely lucid 1, but i liked them all

This album's really, really good! I thought all the songs were interesting but my favourite would have to be Shape 1. Great job!

not too fond of the first song but the other ones are fuckin tight

thanks for the feedback guys. from what i gather it seems like there isn't one consistent song that people like the most, which is good. when we made the album we didnt intend for it to be any sort of one hit wonder. we put equal effort into each song.

^ i agree though i do believe that some songs can be better than others but really imo these are pretty much consistent in the quality and just appeal to different people/genres

47 album downloads so far

i dont want to nag but i knoa a lot more people have listened to the album than have actually given any feedback so can you guys give some critique or feedback of any kind??? thanks bra(s)!!!!!

feedback is appreciated!!

vile emissions is my favorite, but i also like dreams in the dark a lot.
the only problem i have with your music, is that the guitar and drums drown out your voices most of the time. I don't think the guitars don't do a very good job of carrying the melody. For most of it, the melody is being carried entirely by the vocals... which are being drowned out by the guitars. so it just sounds messy and confusing. anyway the vocals are really really good. the part in Dreams in the dark where you sing along with that piano sounds awesome. if you made the vocals louder or something, i think it would sound better imo. but idk

i agree with that to an extent, i mean sometimes the vocals aren't the main purpose of the song and a lot of times the melody is actually the guitar or bass or something so its intentional

but yeah i mean we aren't pros at mastering and dont have pro mics so sometimes the vocals dont have as much presence in the song as i would like

thanks for the feedback!!!

fp views didn't use to count until last week when i coded the feature. i figured a front page view counts as a view for the topic, and it gives me an idea how many people are visiting the front page a day.

i like shapes 3 the best
this is a lot different & better than the stuff you guys made in the past

good job

i feel like there's a lot of fuzzbox overkill, but its cool. "Dreams in the Dark" would totally kickass if it were a studio track

i agree

ok so onestar's juke bottle casino is gonna steal our spotlight soon so anyone have any last words?!?!?!?

it was really good
because it came from the heart

I cant remember the name but there was one I heard that I really really liked

lucid 2 thats it

This album's very good!
I didn't get any time to really pay attention to it all until now and I've gotta say I liked it a lot more than I expected
I don't even listen to this kind of music and I found it slammin'
I really liked Lucid 2-4 the best

There were some volume issues and whatnot that were mentioned beforehand but it didn't change my opinion a bit
Great Work
