    The main bass riff sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on where I've heard it before. Anyway I liked the music in itself, but the recording quality could have been better I guess. Always nice to hear new bands embrace progressive and psychedelic rock, we need more of that today imo.

    I think it would have promise if:

    A) The timing was a lot better, unless you guys were trying to play off-tempo or mixing meters between instruments. Regardless of intent, it definitely sounds like the tempo was lost or rushed, or just forgotten by the drummer and bassist. As a drummer myself, that kinda makes me cringe.

    B) The recording quality was obviously not the best.

    Overall, though, it's refreshing we don't have a bunch of blast-beating, nasally-screamin'/"singin", whiny, 1-4-5-1 progression (or 1-5-1) progression modern music shit. Keep workin' at it. I think it'll be a positive thing to keep getting stronger at.
