    I really love the production on this. It might be the best I've heard from you

    Really can't say I'm a fan of the "verse", though, the song would be better without it

    thanks man, it's the most recent song I've produced
    it might've been without it, but imo it adds to the story on the album so I left it

    Appreciate it, and you'll see haha.

    Still fleshing out a few more things, but for the most part all the production and story on this is 100% done and ready to go for release and I think it gets across pretty clearly atm

    might still aim for another feature if I have time, if not eh.. oh well

    Meant to have this written up when I posted the song but eh. I'm lazy.

    @CreativeSXN

    INNER DEMONS

    If I do this I know I'm gonna lose my family.
    I have got to find another way.

    But you know you need the money.
    And you're already losing them anyway.

    It's not possible, I can't pull it off.
    I'm gonna get f---ing caught!

    But if you do nothing then they're lost.
    And to the streets you're tossed.

    I can't just do something like this.
    It doesn't f---ing matter the situation.

    Deep down you know your family needs this.
    They've already lost their patience.

    They'll stand by me, and I'll still raise Autumn.
    There's no way we need it this bad.

    Really? And if you don't fix the problem?
    She'll take her away, she won't have a dad.

    Even if I managed it, I don't think I could live with myself.
    How could I bare to?

    f--- the consequences! What about the wealth?
    And don't f---ing think, just do!

    This isn't gonna go down right!
    Innocent people are gonna get hurt!

    f--- them, you need this night.
    Do you even care? What's your family really worth?

    INNER DEMONS

    I guess it's settled then...

    vocals sound a bit harsh. just gave a quick text tutorial on how to fix this to narsh.

    "your mic has nothing to do with it. would the speech enhancer happen to also be a speech leveler?cause I would try turning that off and adding another multiband compressor to your voice and that SHOULD do the trick

    also, if you have any mastering effects on there, make sure the exciter is pretty much sitting at 0%, thatll also add hissing

    and if that's not enough, go ahead and add a light de esser"

    haven't been following the "storyline" if there is one but I'm not a huge fan of the interpretation of the lyrics from the beat. like, is the beat supposed to match the tone of the lyrics?

    production itself sounds very strong and prominent. the music/melody itself sounds more like something I'd hear in a movie during the fight of a final battle versus something I'd listen to in an iPod. not a bad thing at all, just observing that it sounds more like soundtrack music.

    if you can't fix the vocals btw (which you should be able to), I'd almost remove the verse tbh

    anyways, that's my feedback

    intentional.

    there's distortion on them, and I like it so it won't be changed.
    there is a very prominent story throughout all the songs and interludes for this

    as for the interruption here of the beat, I didn't really see a way around that.
    yeah, i keep getting this, which is why i'm running with a sort of cinematic scale to the sound of things and the story on this whole album
    well thanks for giving it a listen m8, even if you're not feeling it

    I knew in advance people would probably have mixed feelings about the verse but eh.

    @Cyreides no I don't really think there's anything in particular that's wrong with the verse

    and lmao I know you want the "radio" effect. what I said just helps so it sounds better on the ears, it doesn't get rid of the radio sound at all m8

    Well I don't have a leveler on it or anything like that. Not sure exactly what sounds 'harsh' to you about the vocals other than the distortion which i EQ'd to sound a certain way, so I'm not sure how/what to actually change
