ya know what, i just did a quick listen to the EP, just to see what my opinion of it was after all this time... i agree with Scot on a few things:
Vocals, not nearly as much energy as the i know Kj is capable of producing. but the pitch problems and lack of hooks? i dunno where that came from.
Guitar, overall mildly muffled (the negative effects of micing a keyboard amp with separate horn and tweeter), but otherwise *I* love the tone (especially in the choruses of "she can win"... thick and cutting, wonderful fusing of distorted guitar and distorted bass)... and that's the important thing. I'm not out to impress anyone with my music, not out to make money, i'm out to do something that makes me happy. i spent the last 3 years getting the guitar tone that best suited me. only recently have I begun to make changes to that tone... and in Mr. Cambell's eyes, it probably sounds even worse.
Bass, almost every bit i listened to had the bass playing tight with the kick drum. for example, i'm listening to the chorus from "show" right now. the kick matches the bass exactly.
Drums, I don't like the drum sound on the record, i would have liked to hear everything tuned far higher, especially the snare, but Dave chose to have them sound that way, and I respect that.
All of this leads me to believe that either Mr. Cambell (why am i still giving him the respect of being call Mister?) never listened to the EP at all and is posting maliciously for some unknown reason.
If anyone would like to post an legitimate review of this EP, I'd be happy to read it!
