Thanks for the comments my good man. We are more instrumental oriented too. It wasn’t until recently that we started adding vocals to our songs, although I still feel we treat them more like another instrument than a vocal. Glad you could listen to the song under that point of view!
The general opinion does seem to be that the vocal needs to be clearer and less effecty, not only in this forum but from a lot of other people that have had a chance to hear it. We are still fans of effect, but its been interesting seeing these contrasting opinions. Hopefully we can refine the technique for later productions where we can meet people in a happy medium. We definitely don’t want something as important as the vocals to turn off people from our music.
