Things I liked:
Lead guitarist seemed to have a sense of humor by that opening dialogue. Which I think helps with a maturing in your career.
He seemed to play fairly well, or at least knows how to give a song character.
Drummer had some interesting fills there, not just showy, but a good sense of time and the ability to fit different rhythms in a time sig.
Things I don’t like:
If the song had some defining characteristics at one point, I feel like the got smoothed out to anonymity.
I’m still not entirely sure why he gave that warning up front because I can’t make out the lyrics and the song doesn’t seem particularly dangerous.
In the late 90’s there were bands who had a southern-bayou influence (mostly the organ) on a lot of songs, Counting Crows, Wallflowers, ect. But it was diminished. This song I feel, had the opposite. This was a southern rock song with just enough alternative influence to kill what was good about it.
