The mixing is sloppy, and the guitar solo at the end goes on too long, but overall, it seems to work.
I did all of this in my room, on an 8-track digital recording machine, but it's heavy metal, so in terms of sound quality, some of the problems are negligible.

Those drums just don't fit, at all.
The Vocals aren't clear enough or not hash enough for growls

If you thought the last one was bad, why did you listen to this one?
Because I'm bored as shit
Could you post the lyrics?
[QUOTE=Mr._N;33872650]Could you post the lyrics?[/QUOTE]
I think its like black metal, he writes the lyrics after
I will say the guita playing has improved some but still sounds incredibly generic. Song writting is boring and unoriginal and the vocals are awful. Drums are boring and aren't interesting at all.
A bit of an improvement but not much.

Really? You obviously have access to the internet, and you can't find something you think is entertaining?

There's something to be said
about the way the Wharfs is done,
you know, maybe they could've stayed
if not for today's dismissive chumps,
you know the way they's been displayed,
it is just not the way that's fun, you know,
they've been so worn and frayed, I said,
I know it caught me stunned, you know,
Why can't the wharfs be saved, I said,
I've come to the conclusion, that
when I see them fighting,
maybe we could incur an intrusion,
maybe, construct a barricade, I said,
a conflict-avoiding contraption,
to keep them from being slayed,
while they still wait in the faction,
It seems, the Wharfs has swayed,
but from where, I know not from,
you know, they must be delayed,
destroyed for what they've become,
they'll be gone, when I'm done
there's no choice, not one,
they will taste, my pain,
face annihilation, you know what I'm sayin'? (TONIGHT!)
There's no running, no hiding,
no hope, they're lost, it's written,
there'll be grunting, I'm riding,
a giraffe, that, cost, me money,
I'll be gunning down, each one I
see, with my sword, of fire,
and shunned will be survivors,
and what's left will be, my dinner, (TONIGHT!

It's not funny when you can't hear it.
And, As a rule the entire song has got to have funny lyrics (Further Listening: Bill Bailey - Oblivion, Alestorm - You are a Pirate)

I know what generic means. What I meant was, "Oh, does it? I wouldn't have thought that, because I'm not aware of 10 or 15 bands that sound exactly like me, apparently you do. Do you think you could name a couple of them?"

If you maybe look a little closer, you'd see that I meant for the whole thing to be kind of funny.

But it really isn't.
To be honest, the lyrics don't make much sense.
From what I see some Wharfs disappear so the shipping industry is fucked and then you come in a ride a giraffe
Nickelback, Dragonforce, Metallica, Megadeth, you have some power metal and speed metal influences like Statovarious, Helloween, some Painkiller era Judas Priest, I feel a bit of Black Sabbath, Dio
damn, you sound like a lot of bands

Nickelback...?
I'd agree with the rest of them, but none of those bands sound just like each other, and I don't sound exactly like any of them, so I'm not sure "generic" was the right word.

But it isnt.
[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmhcCWtoooA"]The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee[/URL] is funny, because It embraces the joke, yours is unintentional its just what I gathered from the Lyrics.
Might just be your vocals reminding me of Nickelback but you certianly aren't doing anything unique. I know for SURE you sound quite a bit like Dragonforce and Metallica

I definitely don't see it. I wouldn't cite either of those bands as influences. Was there a particular song either of them did that sounds like what I've done?

At first, the wharfs are described as being like endangered animals, ones that fight each other, but "need to be saved". Part-way through, the motivation's all gone, and we have to kill all the wharfs. It's not supposed to make any sense, that's kind of the joke.
