It does not sound like complete shit to me, there are some issues but "complete shit" I don't think so because the guitar playing is high quality.
Personally I would reamp it with different amp settings there is something slightly indistinct about the guitar sound but I am not exactly sure how to describe it in words.
I always love reamping your stuff so if you want to hear it thru a different amp then you know what to do !!
( Sorry if I sound sicaphantic but I really do enjoy your stuff ).

Thank you, I will try it thru the Uber and maybe thru the 6505.
Did you use a overdrive pedal when you recorded your clip ?

 

[ScootBaloo]

Did a quick reamp thru the Uber but I am not that happy with it because I don't think it improves on your clip.
The first part of the song has a kind of syncopated guitar feel which is kind of irregular sounding on its own.
During the first part of the song, the drums are not doing much and I think that is the problem.
Because the guitars have a kind on "jerky" feel I think the drums need to be carrying the song more
( i.e. drums playing at tempo ) so that the song sounds more continuous rather than jerky.
The second part of the song is great and does not have any problems, well done.

Sounds good to me dude! I'll take a stab at re-amping and mixing this. I like the song!

[ATLA]

thanks for the feed back guys, this only only a snippet of an 8/9 minute song from my band. once its done ill post it in its entirety!

i don't think it's shit either, only thing i'd do is change amp/cab to something that fits better and i kind'a feel the drums like... too "dry" i dunno.. maybe some room simulation?

 

[ScootBaloo]

I tried a low gain approach on the guitars.

And with a slightly higher gain setting.
