I liked it until the vocals came in.
I'll be brutally honest. The vocalist sounds too young and the melody is too amateurish. Way too reverb. In short..... the vocals are real corny.


The music is really good though.

I'd drop the vocals completely, rewrite them, and get somebody else to do them. Even better, if the visuals of the movie can carry it, leave the vocals out altogether.

The lead solo in the right channel in the middle of the song kinda dies... and then the music after it doesn't build to finish it off.

Just my opinion, but I'd remix it and redo the vocals. It's hard to say for sure how it'd fit without seeing a visual of the movie though, so ya never know... it might fit depending on the subject.


Quality wise, it's probably cause it was converted to 128kbps or less so it's kinda lacking in dynamics. If you're presenting it to a client, I'd code it at
320kbps at the least and preferably offer the choice of sending a .wav or .aiff file so the person listening to it gets the full potential.
