Wow, that was different!

I can't give a lot of feedback on the mix as my PC has broken down and due to this and other factors I'm having to listen to it on old Bose headphones on my laptop.

But one thing I feel you've done really well is matching the sheer impact on the ears of most of the songs Sia Furler writes. And you've done so using multiple layers of impact. At times the backing almost overwhelms the vocals, though they remain clear most of the time. And your vocal style matches the instruments; anyone who hasn't heard the song before (i.e. someone who's been in solitary confinement for many years) wouldn't know that it wasn't written as a rock song.

This isn't my genre by any means, so I'd never attempt anything like it, but if I did I might make it a little shorter, and incorporate one of those screaming prog-rock instrumentals comprised of runs of 1/32 notes with bends every bar or half a bar.

But it's fine the way it is. And I especially love the ending :-)

+1 to everything Garry said .. especially the "Wow" !

I agree, it could probably do with having a minute or so shaved off it but overall very impressive stuff and a nice re-work of probably the only Rihanna song I actually like.

Great ending!

Thanks for sharing
