Am I the first person to question the production techniques? Can you offer some advise to potential listeners that might help them get past the production and actually enjoy the songs? Okay, or maybe they could just listen to some actual noise beforehand, so by contrast you guys seem like polished pop? That’s a good idea. If someone does that will you do your best to provide the relevant tablature and lyrics to them? How about if someone wants to copy your production, any tips? myspace.com/timesnewviking
