I enjoyed it! A bit "noisier" than most music I listen to, but lots of interesting things to hear, and a catchy chorus.

I'm not sure of the purpose the snort at the beginning serves except to be a preview of the snort/sweep/glass sound in the verse (which is too loud to be honest), or to suggest symptoms of the disease.
Other than that it's pretty cool.

Einar,
A very cool sound to the overall track. There is a lot of interesting additions along the way to keep the listener engaged.
I thought the vocals (which are nice!) were just slightly lower than they should be - a little "buried at times". The claps have a "bright tail" that overshadows things at time. And the guitar tabs at the end were a bit "bright and loud" (just a little). I thought it might be my monitors, so I also check it using earbuds.
Overall, I enjoyed it (and your journey).

I really enjoyed this one. Nice effects, tempo, and sound changes. I do think that the vocal should be more up front in this one. Sometimes it is very hard to hear.

Other than that it's pretty cool. Thanks for paying attention to the details, rayc! The snort was not meant to be there, but a song needs a starting point. One of my all-time favourites is the opening snare on Every Breath You Take by The Police. So I kept it for a rhythmic purpose – but yes, the song is about the pandemic situation…

fj Thanks, Floyd! Still working on the mix. This song is a tough one because of all the "noise". How to mix it and make it sound good. I fully agree with the vocals and the snare/handclaps on the chorus. It's a science how to "glue" it all together. Sometimes I wish I was mixing a power trio, not a computerized monster. Still, BiaB gives me a great option to choose and try different ideas. I'll keep you updated on the final version.

Thanks, Mario! I do agree about the vocal tracks – still working on the final mix. The words do matter to me!
