Broadjam Artist: Simpson-Mancine Band
Song: Line in the Sand
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Very atmospheric and the lead vocalist is outstanding on this song. The overall mix is pretty strong, even though it’s fairly drenched in echo. Nice dynamic changes. This could easily find its way into the right film or TV scenario. I liked it a lot.
Constructive Comments: The instruments were fine, but felt they could have done more to expand the song. I would have loved more counterpoint or soloing on a song exceeding 4 minutes as it started to sound “same-y” after a while. If there’s a hook, I couldn’t really find it. The lyrics are pretty much lost in a lot of places even with a 2nd listen. But with slight clean-up this could really be sweet.
