has a reggae feel to it. I really wasn't expecting the vocals at all...they surprised me (I mean, when they came in).
I love the lyrics...and the way they're spoken/sung - the captain jak speaking part was very dramatic...and then at 4:52, you made it lighter again. Great work!

Lots of dots - and here's Capt Jack again 
Nice intro sounds Swordy - lovely stereo effects on the keys, and I like the way you bring in the bass.
When I first heard this, I kept singing "ride in my tank, it's a killer car" - I couldn't remember any more, but that line really got to me...... I still think it's a pretty good hook.
I know that you forgot to write down the settings on the vox between the different parts of this, but it's a real shame for me. It doesn't matter which vocal setting you use, but it should be the same throughout.
I like the spoken section with Capt Jack - but want some low-end synthy type sounds in there just to remind me that I'm listening to a song. Also, a few more radio tuning sounds wouldn't go amiss.
Just my thoughts
I really like this one though

mmm... listening to this before, I was wanting to hear something in addition.. but couldn't figure it out... it's an accordion droning a bit during the opening instrumental after the horns... but then again, it's not important... might take away... and as always, I might be crazy...
nice.
yeh.. change in vox might not be so good.. but, I don't think it's bad. it sort of helps distinguish the separate verses.
love the lyrics...
don't think the guitar should have dropped out during the spoken word. I know how it's supposed to feel... but to me, it just seemed like it died pretty quick without the backing instruments. if you want my suggestion, I'd say, shorten it a bit, have the backing instruments fade but not completely, then die out for just a wee bit.. and then end with something similar to the opening instrumentation.
anyway... just my crazy ears talking...
good to hear from jack again.
btw... doesn't sound finished.. so I didn't vote.. if I'm wrong say it and I will

scary, like this is a real thing happening,
makes me think about these things are actually happening, one moment you listen to a song(live your life), the next it ends(you die)
love the lyrics, you knew that, you've set a great mood!
some horns like in the intro would be nice in the end, but that could suggest he died, and we dont know that now, so we'll wait and see
i really like the unexpected way it turned out! very original, i vote high for that

| Fantastic... |
That's the way to do it!. Reminds me of Nick Cave a lot.
I Love the way the jauntiness of the tune plays off the gravity of the lyrics and subject matter. Great stuff!
