We are down with the Hiroshima Day mix. We listened on living room system with the subs. It filled the room in a good way and we felt center stage in front of a kick a$s hard rock band.
We just kicked back, turned it up, and listened to the "totality" of the song - like it had just popped up on one of our Apple Music radio stations and we knew nothing about the production.
From that perspective it sounded really good. Reference songs, a zillion opinions...yep it all helps and in particular from the well informed (without them I would've bailed years ago

). But as I learn more about this production thing, even when narrowed down to a specific genre, it is such a huge tent. Too much this, too little that, right or wrong, ad infinitum. It makes my head spin.
And as Al alluded to it's never finished...just abandoned.
Pardon the old phart ramble.
