My 2-Cent

I see the first guitar as the 'second voice' in this song. While overly edgy and vocal-drowning in the first version, it lost too much prominence and abrasiveness in the second for my taste.

I can see where you're coming from here -- there's a kind of punk aesthetic that got lost somehow in version two. The second version ticks more mainstream boxes.

Certainly not, which is one of the reasons I found that first version interesting on an artistic level -- there was the seed of an alternative vision there that was intriguing, even if the practical ramifications of it didn't seem to work that successfully. This is one of the main reasons I wanted to set up this site, so that I could hear more new approaches -- it's very easy to get stuck in a rut if you don't stay open to new ideas.
