Great production, really works well. And the oohs and ahhs came in just at the right time.
Excellent, kind regards

A cool rocker with clever lyrics. I especially liked the line "Toxic masculinity halo effect" and combining consulting/insulting. And the chorus describes the perplexity of the situation nicely. "What does that mean" keeps haunting in my head after listening... The band has your trademark sound, strong pop guitars and they are mixed to perfection. Great vocals and enjoyable backing vocals. Fun music that makes me feel well-fed.

You song title thief, I have that exact title somewhere in my notes  A nice little toe-tapping rocker, excellent mix, and puts a smile on my face. There's nothing I don't like about it ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

What a really great song! The vocals and production are excellent. When read the lyrics are a bit depressing, but when sung they come to life. I thought "Blind-Sided" would have been a better title. I'm asking others this as it's my blind area: what do you use for mastering? Chay, thanks for the listen! Yes, "Blind-Sided" would have been an excellent title. Though the lyricist owns the song titling responsibilities in our arrangement, I'll think of this one as "Blind-Sided" in my head now. My finished mixes go to Lurssen Mastering Console to gently shape the overall sound and set the levels. Honestly, I don't spend a lot of time on this step, sometimes under a minute. I spend a LOT of time at the Studio One mixing console building and balancing the sounds. I also use Andrew Schep's rear bus technique in mixing, and have a Waves Abbey Road TG Mastering plugin on the main mix. I'll audition a few interim masters on a variety of sound sources (monitors, headphones, earbuds, auto, etc), tweak in Studio One and resend to Lurssen, where I've saved and reused the song's previous Lurssen settings. I've reached the conclusion that WHAT one uses for mastering is less important than HOW ones uses it, and that listening carefully is the most important step of all. Know mastering can be a journey, so good luck!

Hi Ron.
Wow! This is really good. I love what the two of you have created. Anyone who can rhyme vicinity with masculinity like RW has, is a lyric-writer extraordinaire in my book. Your arrangement, production and performances (BGV and lead vocals) are first class. I was with you all the way.

Hi Ron, Man, what a great sounding track! Your mix is spot on, pure perfection. Love the arrangement and production too. But mostly I love the song Doesn't sound like CCR to me and I'm not familiar with Rockpile. Sounds like you, and that's a good thing! Excellent!

Ron,
Love everything here! Everything I hear from you is always catchy, well produced and performed!
I enloyed my listen!
Thanks, TB Thanks, Torrey! Very good song, production, and I especially like your singing! (Always love your singing!) The lyrics were challenging melodically, but you sang them into shape. With the possible exception of "In the climate change circumstance we were living in." That line was tough to pull off. Really liked the last line of each verse. Great job! Thank you, Rob. Well, I'm a little perplexed that anyone could love my vocals, but...I'll take it! I always enjoy finding the song in my brother's lyrics. Sometimes I get it 100% right, and sometimes I don't. SOMETIMES I'll turn a single set of lyrics into several musical interpretations, looking for the right one. But on this one, the song I posted is the only song I can hear with these lyrics. The music and lyrics just seem to fit like a glove. I even like the "In the climate change circumstance..." line, if only because it's such a unique but instantly translatable lyric (at least for me). Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Hi, Ron.
Vocals (and attitude) sound great, lyrics are clever and fun, and the arrangement upbeat and poppy. Nice BGVs, too!
Tasty pop! Thanks, David! Yeah, my down-but-not-out interpretation of the lyrics definitely influenced the somewhat jaunty vocal choices. Glad you liked the tune!

Another cracker.
The only thing I'm not keen on is that oversaturated boogie guitar on the left.
Your slightly clipped phrasing is very distinctive and lends an unique twist to your songs.
Tres COOL. Thanks, Ray! Have to admit, that boogie guitar is the heartbeat of the song for me, but I understand that's a matter of taste. Not sure what to call my vocal style, but if it lends a "unique twist" and doesn't detract from the song, I'll take it. Ya'll really shouldn't encourage me though...

Cool tune—really like the write. To me, not so much CCR . . . To me definitely has more of a Rockpile (Edmunds, Lowe) type feel. Terrific production . . . crisp and pro level. Excellent work!!
Deej Deej, THANK YOU for the listen! Only saw Nick in concert once in 1984 when his (amazing) Cowboy Outfit band was opening for Elvis Costello. Lots of high-energy, effortless musicality on that stage that night...

Ron, I have to admit I was totally distracted by your vocal--so sharp, clear, tight harmony, pronunciation right on, excellent delivery--I hardly paid attention to the backing and arrangement! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Great work! Tom, ha! Stop it, you'll make me hurt myself. I'm a fan of many famous mumbling vocalists, but I'm more influenced by the precise enunciators in my choices for sure. Mainly so the lyrics can be understood without a lyric sheet.

Yeah, I'm with your brother on the CCR, but this one has a much better singer. I understand the cool lyrics --unlike "a bathroom on the right," or "stuck in a low dive again."
Ai unemployed. HA! Well Ri was surely a big part of this one. Love those lyrics, and the driving beat you gave them. Excellent choice of harmony lines. I like how you put them back a bit, unlike, say, The Everlys. The ooze and oz you added were also a great touch. Yep, Real Intellegence throughout. Good mix too. Fun, Ron. Hey, Marty. THANKS for the kind review. If I could sing like John Fogerty I'd be busking on the wharf of a tropical paradise somewhere. You DID make me check the lyrics to "Lodi" again though. Ha! I'm not opposed to AI for whatever makes sense, but I'm not tempted by it in the least for songwriting either. One User Showcase reviewer, many months ago, commented on how cool our use of AI was, and it bugged me. We're just two (sometimes three) guys doing things (almost) the old fashioned way. There is of course BiaB.

Ron, everything that I was thinking as I listened has already been said so all that I can add is
WOW WHAT A FANTASTIC SONG!
Everything about this is perfect.
Loved it. Thanks, Mario! I don't get " this is perfect" a lot at home, so much appreciated. LOVE that opening. Played it 3 times before I let the rest of the song continue...
Excellent BAND! Great use of BIAB. A powerful groove.
Drums sound Great!
Strong vocals. Sitting perfectly in the mix.
EXCELLENT Mix.
I got so wrapped up in the Production and MIx that I had to go back again to actually listen to the song...
Oozes originality.
Such interesting lyrics. I found that I enjoyed Listening to them without reading the lyric (that was the 3rd listen). That seldom happens.
That points to the combination of melody and words being "more than the combination of the two". Something special.
I've always liked a hanging bridge.
fj THANK YOU, Floyd! Yeah, my lyricist has a talent for consistently wrapping original-but-likable song ideas in interesting lyrics. Not something I can do for sure. That's a good observation about how the melody and words combine here. When I get that feeling, I know my part is done.

I'm hearing the Rockpile sound. Harmony sounds good. Catchy chorus, and I like the chord changes at the last line of the chorus.

Excellent, kind regards THANKS, Knee Wobbler! Nuthin' like a little oohing and ahing to add a little zip. A cool rocker with clever lyrics. I especially liked the line "Toxic masculinity halo effect" and combining consulting/insulting. And the chorus describes the perplexity of the situation nicely. "What does that mean" keeps haunting in my head after listening... The band has your trademark sound, strong pop guitars and they are mixed to perfection. Great vocals and enjoyable backing vocals.

Janne THANK YOU, Janne! "Fun" and "makes me feel well-fed" are gratifying outcomes for any performer, I think. Appreciate the listen!

Hi Ron, I don't think I can top all the comments I've read here.
You've made a really cool song, a great rhythm with beautiful/clever lyrics and fantastic vocals.
So everything is Ace (as you call it).

Sounds like you, and that's a good thing! Excellent! Dave, THANKS a bunch! Rockpile really only had a single album, and it was about 45 years ago. But if you know 'em, well... Yes, I think I'm destined to sound like me, no matter how hard I try to fight it.

I'm hearing the Rockpile sound. Harmony sounds good. Catchy chorus, and I like the chord changes at the last line of the chorus. Thanks, Scott! Rockpile had a sound that bled over into Nick and Dave's solo work, and saturated my listening for a while. Never sounds old to me. The shift to the #5 sound at the end of each chorus seemed to match the disoriented question of the narrator. I probably overuse that trick, but if it sounds good, then it must be good, right? Glad you liked it!

The brand-new side toolbar provides quicker access to key windows, while the new Multi-View feature lets you arrange multiple windows as layered panels without overlap, creating a flexible, clutter-free workspace. We have an amazing new “AI-Notes” feature. This transcribes polyphonic audio into MIDI so you can view it in notation or play it back as MIDI. You can transcribe an entire track (all pitched instruments and drums) or focus on individual parts like drums, bass, guitars/piano, or vocals. There's an amazing collection of new content too, including 202 RealTracks, new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two RealDrums Stems sets, and much more!
There are over 100 new features in Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac®.
