    Lyrics:
    [Verse]
    My baby's on the level
    I try to read her mind
    She's on the straight and narrow
    I'm guessin' all the time
    But I can't see the road
    If I'm lookin' at the signs
    I'm carryin' a load
    And steppin' out of line
    [Verse]
    My baby's on the level (My baby's on the level)
    I try to read her mind (I try to read her mind)
    She's on the straight and narrow (She's on the straight and narrow)
    I'm guessin' all the time (And I'm guessin' all the time)
    Oh, well, how can I see the road? (How can I see the road?)
    If I'm lookin' at the signs (If I'm lookin' at the signs)
    I'm carryin' a load (I'm carryin' a load)
    And steppin' out of line

      The bass drum sounds compressed and like garbage. Somehow he offcenters the mic and still manages to pick up airflow from the porthole, I don't even. Sounds like he needed to limit the air sounds (+-Db for Bass drum frequency/tuning) instead of compressing the sound in post production to make up for it. At this point in the game if you aren't gearing the mic to the specific frequency of the drum you're behind. It honestly bugs me a lot.

      That's what happens when you play chords with the Digitech Whammy 4. It gets confused, and can sort of track and pitch shift all the different notes, but it sounds garbled and digital. I love it when people use pedals in unintended ways.
