Hi J, thanks a lot (BTW, your stuff is supernice)

thanks man!!!!!!!!!!
Something's Wrong = i love the smooth vibe of the song. it's one of the songs that just happens and doesn't need to vary off the path. it's focused but not overly maticulous. on that note, i think the production is great. if i mixed it i probably would have pushed the vibe a bit harder. the sounds are clean and the balance is nice, but with the song the way it is, you have so much room to move things around in the soundscape. i'm not talking about atuo panners and weird effects. mostly thinking of a bigger boomier (perhaps more hollow) kick drum. the bass sounds great but could maybe be cool with rounder bottom. i'd probably put a really short verb on the guitar and vox. small room real short. give it a slightly creepy bathroom type effect. of course, this is just my take on it. i still think your mix is solid and i enjoy the song as is.
Red Hot Summer Weekends = great sounds. and i love how it's a totally different approach then the previous song. the band has good feel and plays well together. i'd love to hear some electric guitar on this tune when the whole band kicks in. something chimey and clean. the bells in the second chorus are a nice touch!!!
Judo = right off the bat, i dig the change in production again. it takes a lot of time and vision to make records like this. i've done it a few times and it's very draining. the sounds you are printing work really well together in all the songs thus far. the drummer and bass player really play well together. the mixes are all wel balanced and focused, you should be proud of this work. the only thing i might have done differently would be some tighter drum buss compression, but that's again a matter of approach and taste.
Jesus and Judah = it would be nice to hear the vocalist get this "into it" on the other tunes. the guitar that comes in at the end before it gets big and distorted is a beautiful touch. plays right to the theme of the song. nicely done!
