JustOrdinary: Just gave your album a listen. I do like some of your instrumental work, especially the songs where the guitar work is a little 'busier', like say 'Loving You', though I'd have to say I'm most fond of 'Dreaming Again'.

Others like the blues often feel a little too quiet, almost jarringly so. They're in desperate in vocals or something else to fill those gaps of silence, but as they are now, they're a little hard to enjoy.

I'm going to be a little brutally honest here and say I am not a fan of your voice. It's off-key at several points, and every time you try to carry your voice (for transitions and such), it comes off as rough and unpracticed. I know you're trying to imitate that dull, aching style of singing that's so prevalent in this kind of music, but when I listen to you, there's ... a slight offness, that I can't can't quite explain. It's kind of like a tone one would sing in if he's trying to parody the genre instead of emulating its voice-work.

Instrumental work is great though. 'Loving You' manages to convey a cascade of changing emotions like the title seems to convey, and 'Dreaming Again' evokes a sense of hopefulness bitterly entwined with a faint, but ever-present sense of self-doubt. The powerful climax seems to signal a triumph of one over the other, but the quiet little fade-out suggests the struggle may not quite be over.

A few hits and a few misses, I'd say. Thanks for sharing your music with me :)
