Okay, so I've been working on my first album, sadly without any real DIY gear other than the instruments I make, which is a large part of why I'm not around much anymore.
I've been having an enormous amount of trouble with my singing. I've always been aware that I'm not that great of a singer, but on some songs, I can do well enough. Others, though... This track, called "The Flight of the Great Machine" (pretentious enough for ya? ), has been very troublesome.

But here's one I did okay with:

I've had pretty extreme mixed reactions, all the way from, "it's only rock and roll so who cares?" all the way to, "it's so horribly unlistenable that I wish you'd get a real singer", which I guess is something of a compliment for my songwriting skills, but is not really helpful otherwise.
So I thought I'd turn to some old friends here to see where I stand and maybe get some real, usable advice on what I can do.
Thanks!
(Just a note that I'll be removing that file in a couple of days, since I don't want too many potentially awful pre-release version floating around, though that's probably just flattering myself. )
