Song: Rage of the lemming (Rage 2011))

Reviewer: Andrew Behne

Positive Comments: This sounds like a Trent Reznor song, a very good start yet I feel like its a bit bland. It would be really good for a thriller film as is, yet as a listenable piece it needs vocals. A Rammstein like vocal would fit perfectly and make it an incredible industrial tune. I really love what you have created here.

Constructive Comments: I put all my input into the positive column. Have fun

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: IN THE END

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Very charismatic vocal leads the way in a Randy Newman style story of the ineffable failure of love.

Constructive Comments: It’s well done, vocals are as I said, very charismatic, some of the lyrics are a bit over the top if you want a popular song. It’s good, no doubt, but even the most cynical observer can usually find some lilting hint of redemption at the bottom of a barrel of rotten apples. I don’t quite get that here. Still , well done.

Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Yakatajazz

Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Smooth, well balanced tune, nice lively feel, with good variety. Can see the dance floor hopping to this one.

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change it at all. All parts fit well together to create a nice enjoyable piece.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Turn It Over

Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Good lively tune, can see the crowd dancing along. Reminds me of the 60s, and would suit that era very well, but still have a market today.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I would mention is that the vocal was a little shrill. Perhaps a little softer with a sense of fun might make the tune even better. But that might just be me.

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: THE ART OF LETTING GO (feat Rachael Hawnt)

Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Solid piece, good vocal, good instrumentation, nice variety, could compete with many artists of today.

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change this one at all. The only small pick I might have is the use of the phrase “the art of” not sure that it sits well with the rest of the song. But overall this is a very good tune.

Broadjam Artist: CaiNo
Song: Rewind

Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Nice smooth tune, quality feel, great vocal.

Constructive Comments: Hard to make suggestions for this one, it’s pretty complete as it is, no obvious weaknesses. I would leave it just as it is. Good Work,

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey
Song: Kitschy Kool NEW DRUMS & SAX

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: Saxophone very saultry. Sexy mystery movie scene… I can imagine this for sure. Recording is nicely done. I like the added extras of vocals here and there in the background. Definite potential here. Nicely done!

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add here. Very well produced piece of music. Keep up the great work!!

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: Stay Away From the River

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: Love blues with organ in it! Nice guitar work. This reminds me of something that could be placed into a movie soundtrack easily. The chorus, stay away from the river, is especially suited for a film scene for sure! Good job!

Constructive Comments: I would bring up the mix a bit, make it a little hotter. Bring that guitar out front more. Other than that job well done! You have a winner here!!

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Loose Jing 2

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: Nice guitar licks. Track has potential if you would add other instruments and a hook or chorus. As is, its a good jam solo. Guitar player definitely has some chops!

Constructive Comments: tune is a bit short in length. more of a jam really than a structured song. recording needs a little work.
