Well, since I did get some positive response on the last song I uploaded, I thought I'd throw out a more progressive rock song that we had finished up. Obviously, it's called uncertain shades of gray, and has a longer solo, plus a little mini-solo, so that should make some folks a little happier. By the way, is there any possibility of being able to attach both a picture and a song? And I'm sorry about the whole uploading with a .wma, I didn't even realize I hadn't converted it.

I enjoyed this little ditty quite much. Nice guitar soloing, solid drums and bass...only thing I was left wanting for is a little more bite in the vocalist's voice.
Drop me an e-mail (captainthorns.at.gmail.com) if you get a chance - I'd love to talk shop with you on your recording process, equipment, etc. Plus we could use another guitarist on my "Show of Hands" project (http://www.ubersite.com/u/CaptainThorns/l/ubermusic_project) since a few of the initial volunteers seem to have dropped off the face of Uber.

not sure why the word 'progressive' is anywhere near this song

hmm...
not sure how much i liked this one. the recording was pretty flawless, and rhytmically it was pretty tight. however, there it seemed just a little rough on some of the chorus to verse transitions. i'd agree that the vocals sounded uninspired. i don't think they were on the last song, but on this one they were pretty bland. also, i think you were really pushing your vocalist's range -- the verses a little to low and the chorus a little too high. you might also consider a key change to suit the voice, because it definitely sounded not quite on key. guitar riffs were crisp and moved well. the drum groove was rhythmically fine; it was also the exact same as the last song. i know the punk-rock upbeat-focused drumming suits metal/prog/alternative just as much as punk, but i'd like to see a little more variation in the drumming occasionally.
oh, and i wouldn't call this a "negative" review. just room for improvement.

The music is tight and sounds pretty good. I must say the only problem I noticed with it is your lead vocals. It seems like they are missing something. More like the singer is reading a boring book than singing something he feels. Just lacking that motivated, enthusiastic singer sound. I noticed it on the last track but it really showed on this one.
Otherwise good stuff.
