Ray,

I really like this song and it's got a super groove to it. Those driving guitars and drums are just great. If there's something in the mix or technical production to tweak its above my pay grade.

Since you didn't specify what feedback you wanted, may I offer a couple suggestions on the drums and a stylistic element? I think the drums could be spiced up a little bit, if you wanted to go that way. Some pauses or maybe a couple "big" fills during some of the peak vocal parts near the end of a phrase - something like ba da ba da ba da da da BOOM (I didn't count this out), to really bring it home, or possibly a hold the drums for part of a measure and then bring them back in at key points. Another suggestion is to vary the volume of either the vocals or the drums more at certain key points to increase emphasis and tension.

The reason I bring this up is that to my ears, I hear a fairly "straight on" delivery of the sound throughout the song, and I think it's more interesting when there are dramatic moments injected.

If the song structure and sound fits your intention, then by all means stick with it. I don't want to be crossing the line of artistic license. Regardless of my suggestions, the song is great and I look forward to hearing the final version.
