Song One more cigarette
Overall impression
Humour in song is harder than it sounds, many try and fail.
Here it is maintained throughout.
Overall a fun song and an enjoyable listen
Mix / Production
At times sounds a bit cluttered to me – could there be one gtr too many?
Instrumentation
Nice clean rocky gtrs -
I actually like all the sounds except for the lead gtr (solo)
Vocals
Lead vox is nicely sung and in its place in the mix – did you consider adding a harm track – at least in the B section ‘blowing smoke rings in the dark’?
What I really liked
Contrast between the 2 sections which maintains the energy
Contrast between the bouncy upbeat sounding track and the sombre subject matter
What could be improved
I’m not that keen on half rhymes (sweets-needs etc) but I think that’s just me, and – in terms of the rhyme pattern- find the end of the chorus section a little odd (dark/die)
Not really sure where the gtr solo is going.
