While listening to this song, I wonder if you might have been thinking of

the album as a whole and asking yourself "What happened in the middle?" ;)

 From the Flames was 2nd to Around You.  Overall on the whole album I was

most critical about the vocals, and I was most happiest with the vocals on

Around You and in general, it's loud and soft dynamics.  From the Flames

ended up with my favorite riff...  the one I eventually sing "It won't

happen again" over (that's why I repeated it so often :))  Don't get me

wrong though, I like all the songs in there own way.  Growling is on my

list of things to work on.

The funny thing is, the further I pushed the vocals into the background,

the happy with them I became :)  However, I've received quite positive

feedback for them so I'll be sure to take your suggestions into

consideration for the future.

I had a good time working on the album, and have continued to record a few

bits and pieces since.  Of course my next release will be another "Music

made with Linux" post in here.
Thanks Julien.

PS.  I'm not sure how the visually impaired would like their responses

formatted.  So I apologize if the above is irksome.
