You need to get off this site and let people with real talent be heard. Awful, Awful, AWFUL... you must be on some pretty good drugs...or maybe some bad ones? What are you using for a drum machine? Sounds like something out of a bad 80's porn movie. Unbelievably, uncomprehensible NOISE.
I'd give this -1 billion stars if I could....Steve...you suck.

this sounds hectic and rambling. there isn't much that keeps me listening to the song other than my waiting for it to get better.

the most interesting part is the texture, lots of sounds fighting each other the whole time. good industrial aesthetic

vocals are stylish but not particularly good. they're also shifted pretty far back in the mix so they're more like an instrument

production is alright
Hey Steve, got involved with some great bands from that "Slash" contest. I've been putting a lot of time on our My Space Page. Give it a look, www.myspace.com/518352884.

Hey Steve, I've been out of touch for a while - business, family, life........... Hope you're doin' good.
Hey Steve, Have you checked out a band called "Rhinestone" yet? they kick ass!!!!!! Great funk & Rock tunes.
Later,
