Broadjam Artist: Tom Reock
Song: Fight Of My Life
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: Starting out more Latin/New Age than Prog, but so what, great sounds, and the edgy guitar takes it into Prog territory. I am really really liking the vocal quality and performance. Once the vocals start, and especially on the chorus, this reminds me of Kings X with Doug Pinnick singing. On the chorus I’m thinking “Damn I really like this tune” –excellent chord changes on the chorus with the change to IV minor.
Constructive Comments: The intro is too long, and I think a bit too “Island Sugary”. I’d drop the triangle and make this more of a straight ahead Rock tune. I *didn’t* like the guitar break/solo–me personally I hate pick harmonics but more importantly you got into some mindless riffs in the middle of the solo–I would really urge making it a pure melodic solo with no “box of riffs” crutches used, and no pick harmonics…just for me.This is EXCELLENT work. You really made my ears jump on this one.
