Broken as Designed

I'm currently working on my 3rd CD now and was wondering if anyone could offer their constructive criticism on my previous two works that can be found at www.mp3.com/brokenasdesigned. Thanks a million!!

Hi George,

I listened to all of your tunes - some quite nice ideas ya got there. I gotta mention that it's not really my style of music :D but the first thing that struck me is the singer. Is that you? I think it would be highly beneficial for the entire sound if the voice would be more charismatic, stronger, more convincing ... this is something I would look into for your new production.

Just my thoughts .... ;)

Hi George

I can hear a younger Ozzy Osbourne in there ;-) I think the voice suits the style of music and I like the overall result. I can see what guni means, if there was a bit more 'expression' or 'punch' in the voice this might be good... I'm not really qualified to comment technically tho, but I think you're onto a good thing there.

The production quality seem to be an issue. At least on my system the bass and drums are badly distorted. I would suggest re-mastering this with some compression and limiting, to get the overall mix a bit better and to get the tracks more consistent with each other. If you are really going for the "Ozzy Clone " sound I would suggest a little chorus on the lead vocal, you might consider re-singing this on several tracks and mixing them together to fatten them up.
