Thank you guys for your advice and for that interesting conversation! You both have a really good point in your posts.
Actually, I agree that the melodic side of my music is too complex. My friends have also told me that my music is a bit "too progressive" and hard to follow.
I think Grohl is a good example to me because he expresses himself in a very simple but ingenious way. I am not a big fan of him, but should learn from him.
What i wanto to achive with my music, is that i want to see that there is some kind of "catch" in it. So that if people hear it, they want to come back to it again. Like a GOOD magic trick - after seeing it once, you want to see it again, because there is something special and magical in it. I want to write music for the others, not just for myself. But i don't want to go pop. I would like to stay kind of alternative, a bit dark, but positive and hopeful in the core. And i would like to go live with a band asap (therefore the acoustic drum sounds).
The reason i turn to people and ask for their opinion, is that i don't feel i have that simplicity and catch in my music now. So all the feedback is welcome!

Also have a play with subharmonics on the kick drum to give it a little more oomph even at low levels.

Will try that.. What do you mean by "back off the HPF roll off"?
