I dunno, I like the arp - it gave it a new texture to play against, and the friction of the arp against the guitar was really interesting. On the whole, holy hell this was a build - like you said, cathartic. No complaints here, I liked this track!

I don't dislike it, I just get stuck in that loop that it could, nay, should be better and it colours my opinion on it.
I do like the arp for sure, I just feel I could have done more for it than just fade it in. It feels like it needed a bit of an intro or a larger transition between section 1 and 2 to make it slide in there smoothly.

Oh dear god I get that. That's what drives my fussing over a track way after I should have put it down, too.

I didn't mention it before, but I like your expression of "catch and release" with regards to music. Sometimes we're better off letting one go, rather than investing in all the fish food necessary to grow it to legal size. And to further torture the metaphor, maybe it'll be bigger by next season.

I'll stop now.

I think  you're onto something with this. My only suggestion is to widen the sound field a bit - best done with panning. The vibrato synth thing helped in this fashion later on.
Nice work!

that Jazzmaster sounds killer, and i love the build here!
the beat was giving me some Joy Division feels towards the beginning and i had the thought... Godspeed Division
mmmm that's a nice thought

Yeah. Better panning on the guitar and widening the stereo space is a good call.
Thank you!

I should listen to more Joy Division. Do you have any reccos?

you've likely heard 'Love Will Tear Us Apart,' which is just a perfect and timeless pop song imo. but yeah, they only had 2 official albums before Ian checked out - Unknown Pleasures and Closer. both are great. next time you're feeling moody, i'd just start at the beginning of Unknown Pleasures. the first track (Disorder) is such a great intro the band.
Closer is a little more polished, but still very raw compared to a lot of their contemporaries.

most days i'm more drawn to New Order if i'm being honest, but when i'm feeling grey nothing hits quite like Joy Division.

Love the sound of the guitar and those revolving strums as it keeps building.  The arp help builds that tension and make it even more epic feels.  \m/

It just keeps going and going, I like this. And the guitar is great

Thank you! It's just one huge energy build from start to finish.

Thanks! I felt as though it was overstaying it's welcome when I first made it, but I think it's a good pace actually.
