Quoting

All in all, certainly not the worst I ever heard. I like it but it needs tweaking and direction. May I suggest a 12 string?
Man, I don't even think your read my entire post. Those weren't hateful comments. I'm just dead honest and I don't like to sugarcoat my feelings when it comes to music. You want me to elaborate? Okay.
1. Whether you're trying or not, you sound terribly close to the Beach Boys with your swooping bachground vocals. The only difference is, they don't mesh, you don't counterpoint, and they aren't particularly pleasant. When you listen to the beatles or the Beach Boys harmonize, they aren't just all attacking the same notes. One of them takes the high notes, a couple of them provide the main melody section, and one of them takes the low notes. This is the basis of Doowop. You each supply a particular part of a whole melody, which you don't do in your singing. You all sing the same notes. Which doesn't sound very good.
That being said, you did it on Kiddiez pretty well, although whoever took the high notes does not have a good falsetto.
2.Change the guitar tone. Really. It doesn't sound very good. That one was right on. The slide guitar is annoying. Try turning the tone knob down or increasing the mids and bass. Sounds sweet. Trebly slide guitar is just mean to your fans. Or better yet, switch to coricidin or thick glass slides instead of the thin glass you've got.
3. Your songs are pretentiously multi-parted with no direction. They don't have good lead ins to the next part of the song, and they sort of drone one because they're not that different. Look up some Paul McCartney solo albums to study how this is best done.
