The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

I'm an alcoholic, a drug (depending on who you ask) addict,  borderline anorexic (comes and goes, I'm not really that skinny though but it's probably because my metabolism is slow because I go through spells of eating normally then for weeks I'll barely eat),  my grandpa is dying on hospice of a brain tumor, my grandma, his wife, will probably die of MS soon after,  I don't even know where my mom lives and whether or not she cares about me is highly debatable,  I struggle with suicidal thoughts, not that I would ever act on them because it would destroy my dad who is a great dude who truly deserves no more heartbreak, but I'm tired of thinking about it all the time.  HELP ME.  Nah just kidding, I know nobody here can help with that stuff, I just wanted to vent about it real quick.  I feel a little better listing it all out like that.

Thank you for the comments.  About it having more depth, I think that is because I have to have fuller sounding instruments than they do because I don't have vocals so I have to find other ways to fill out the sound.  I plan on getting vocals, either by learning to sing (I'll want normal singing, even when covering Kalmah and other bands that use growling/screaming) or finding a vocalist.  Then it will just sound obnoxiously full since I'll have already mixed them as instrumentals and will probably just dub vocals over them, maybe cutting some frequencies in the top shelf and then putting the vocals in that slot.

Well I don't even remember what the version of alteration that's on soundcloud sounds like anymore, it's been totally redone from scratch.  I'll update it on soundcloud one of these days... 

I just listened to the one on soundcloud.  I don't know what I can really say, it sounds so completely different, production wise.  The guitars have FAR less distortion, and the keyboards aren't as loud. It's definitely more restrained, less busy, and maybe a tad less aggressive, which actually disappoints me as it wasn't on purpose and I'd forgotten how much kick the old one had til I just listened to it. Not that the new one isn't still more extreme than what the average person listens to.  I'll upload the new one to youtube.

Nothing except the Mega Man song on there is current anyway, I got a new amplifier and rerecorded EVERYTHING with it, and learned better, cleaner ways of mixing that sound much less busy now, so that's probably irrelevant now.

But anyway, are you still listening with only one earbud?  Because if so, your experience is tainted anyway because as previously stated there are guitar tracks and layers panned hard 100% left and 100% right, so if you're only listening to one speaker, the stuff in the middle (like the drums) will sound louder because you're missing a layer of sound that would, in a stereo setting, "cover it up" a bit.

I am very ashamed to admit that it took me this long to watch it, but I finally rented the blu ray and watched it for the first time.  I just couldn't believe how awesome it was.  It's incredible.

In my defense, movie theaters give me panic attacks.  I have a big screen TV that, in ratio to the size of my wall tricks your perspective and gives an experience as close to being in a theater without one, except I get to sit on a couch and smoke weed and drink beer so it never bothers me too much.

First film/tv show you're going to watch in 2015!

Careful, I don't think we're allowed to like JJ's Star Trek films around here...

Personally I'm a closeted fan of them, but don't tell anybody...

Also, I liked Nemesis, don't tell anybody that either... (although I will admit that it is very, very different and non-consistent with the tone of star trek in general.  I would have liked it alot better if it were a different, individual movie not based on star trek.  But as a film, I like it.)
