great production All the sounds are well balanced on this track, very full and clear. The overall effect is "big", but not cluttered. I like the way the vocals start out with a thin accompaniment texture, then builds up gradually as the song progresses. The vocal quality is excellent, good harmonies and easily-understood words. The bass punches up this track nicely, and the Hammond organ adds a LOT! It provides a good underpinning of sound to the whole. FINE job, Darren!! |

Very nice tune! I like the composition, well played, but a few "wrong" bass notes. The pitch of the vocals are a problem, I think. Overall a good one! I.G.M. |

Great Job Darren! Aside from my few "wrong" bass notes (wtf?), I think you and Tobin and the singer did an amazing job with this. The production is really good--clean and big. I love all the nuances in this song that you hear through good speakers. I believe my bass probably could have been played a little tighter in just a few parts, but overall, for an hour's work, I thought it came out well, and the sound you achieved for it and the rest of the instruments is really, really good. Like Cameron, I like the way the vocals start out with a thin accompaniment texture, then build up gradually as the song progresses. The vocal quality is excellent, good harmonies and easily-understood words. I really like how the Hammond organ fills out the sound! Great job to you and the rest of us on this killer tune! |

Excellent Great job, all of you involved. It sounds really tight. I got to hear some earlier version of this as DC was working on the mix. It came out sounding really slick, and it's catchy. The energy pulls me in and gets me in the groove. Top notch. |

Wonderful track... from all of you.. Slimmie |

Shades of... Styx? A Lot of energy in this production. The build is good (at first I thought it was going to be a folk tune). Tobin's Hammond gave it a fat and powerful musical base and the hot, tasty licks on lead guitar were great. I might have given the bass a tad more presence and prominence in this mix, but that's really just a matter of taste. Re: "pitch" problems... because of the striking clarity of the vocals, minor offs might be noticeable to the most sensitive ears. The only one I would really be concerned with is at the very beginning of the song, when the vocal is virtually "naked," with only the acoustic guitar providing accompaniment. He slides into the note somewhat awkwardly. Easily replaced, because it's a phrase perfectly repeated throughout the song. But overall, very nice work! |

Kind of at a loss for words. I love the writing, vocals and production. This is just a great song, and I dig the guitar solo in there... wow, the singing. All around amazin'. |

Good solid pop There is one point right near the end that something sounds somewhat constricted, maybe the instrumentals dropping out exposes something in the voice EQ, but it's really a very subtle thing and may just be me. Excellent song, well written and tightly performed. |

Great Sound and Song Nice job guys, all around very nice performance. Clean vocals and instruments. I especially like the Electric Guitar 1/2 through - good jam! |

almost missed this one glad I didn't. I generally avoid the "pop" genre on principle. But really enjoyed the southern rock feel of this one, the gutsy strat that felt like home and that cool little electric piano riff. And the lyric "how many times will we buy into lies in the hopes that they will set us free." |

Brilliant Excellent all the way around. Vocals are terrific, guitars are amazing- lead solo was energetic and melodic. Drew's bass line was great. Really liked the little organ fill at the beginning. I really like every component of this... beautiful job on this one, Darren- production also top notch, as usual. |

Fab Collab! This is a perfect example of why MJ's is such a cool place to create music. To get all these contributions to 'round' out this fine song--really makes it shine! Great song, and well done. Thanks for sharing it here :) |

I'd have missed it... ... if not for your thank-you post... This is truly great, and I regret not having added to its numbers in its first week, though it has obviously had a great run... The lyric is great, especially the hook line... I love the singing... (don't be offended if I say I hear this Hootie and the Blowfish thing with this tune)... the guitar solo is awesome, and every little piece of the tune is ear candy... It's not too full, but there's nowhere where it's empty. Ed P. S. Takes better ears than mine to hear any off notes, bass or otherwise. This sounds CD ready to me... |

Impressed by your studio ...I found out that you exist and that you do so in a very fine way on this tune. Very nice arrangement here. Professional in quality and rich w/ content, this is just very well done. Solid lyrics and beautiful vocal work, as well. Hopefully, congratualtions can never be too late. Cydniko |

this is one to crank I like this one loud. The louder, the better. I listened to this repeatedly on the day I discovered it, but never left a note to let you know how much I like it. That little electric piano run that Tobin does is an especially nice touch, but the overall blend of sounds and vocal harmonies make this track stand out regardless. 'Mr. Gray' is a great abstract character name, too. |
