>>>>>>> 3.) Someone said "less keys" - well, the song has considerably

>>>>>>> especially with the guitars up a bit where they are.

>>>>>>> 4.) As for the drums being too high-end-ish, no i didn't go for
>>>>>>> a big "thumpy" kick on this... I think the kick drives things
>>>>>>> pretty good, but I wanted a good deal of "thwack" so you could
>>>>>>> hear the accents come through clearly. Snare-wise - i'm diggin'
>>>>>>> that nice "CRACK!". It's coming across just the way I want it -
>>>>>>> same with the toms... you can hear the impact, and in their
>>>>>>> case still feel them... you know, that "tubby" tom sound. Keep
>>>>>>> in mind that this song has a LOT going on in terms of texture &
>>>>>>> layering -
