I used Saros on the vocal, but I've got mixed feelings about him. He's got a high level of energy, but when he's belting a song out, he can he a bit... much.
David, I must agree with your quote above.
I felt a bit unmoored and drifting when listening and had difficulty searching for a structural scaffold that I could anchor to, although the vocals
were hi-energy.
I agree with B.D. "
The backing tracks sound like a mix of styles, but they're not consistently woven together. IMO they're lacking the glue." A lack of glue is one way to put it, another is a lack of identifiable repetition that can anchor the listener.
That said, I can see a lot of work went into this production, skills that I certainly don't have. And I found the mix to be well balanced .
