Reviewer: Jansongs

Positive Comments: nice nice nice

Constructive Comments: none none none

Broadjam Artist: Fire in the Sky
Song: The New

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: I like the tune very much. The musicianship is great. Guitars, bass drums and vocalist all excellent The almost prog-rock elements of the song are great…shades of Pink Floyd. I like the way the song builds. Overall a lovely song.

Constructive Comments: My only criticism is the quality of the recording. For example the singer sounds great but the sound quality means that I cannot hear the lyrics. Similarly the same applies to the instruments as well.. I would like to hear those guitars ringing, the bass and drums thumping, but the sound is a tad subdued. Maybe a re-mastering would do the trick. Great song, however re-visit the sound quality.

Song: Artist: Tha Bishop – Song Title: When I’m Done

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Nice intro with the bass kicking in at 0.10. I like the contrast between the light, bright and breezy backing track and the hard hitting rap vocal. It’s catchy. Nice change at 1.20. The vocalist delivers with real passion. Well recorded, great sound quality.

Constructive Comments: It’s really well put together. It sounds very commercial to my ear. In fact it’s stronger than a lot of stuff I’ve heard on the radio. Definitely worth pitching for opportunities in this genre

Broadjam Artist: Simon Finn
Song: Complicated

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: I like the dramatic ambience. It’s a catchy, memorable melody. There are some nice changes of direction in the song. The instrumentation is really strong. The tune is well structured. The vocalist is particularly strong and puts the song over with conviction and a crystal clear delivery.

Constructive Comments: I’ve marked down the quality of recording because I think the track is too bassy. And perhaps there is too much reverb on the vocal? It’s a strong song but I feel that the producer has gone for maximum impact in terms of mastering and overcooked it in that department. Overall though a strong tune.

Broadjam Artist: John Masarone
Song: Stay By My Side

Reviewer: The Woodmen

Positive Comments: Like the opening lick. Good musicianship. That lick works well throughout.

Constructive Comments: Not sure I like the verse music – would like a little more variation in the melody. Also, the vocal pitch can be improved upon.

Broadjam Artist: Wayne Ammons
Song: All My Dreams

Reviewer: The Woodmen

Positive Comments: Sounds very 70s-ish to me …sort of like Yacht rock … liked the little key change in the bridge just before the chorus. Very straightforward song. Pleasant to the ears.

Constructive Comments: Might want to think about coming up with a little longer, even more distinctive bridge. Would mix things up a bit.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Stay Away – Instrumental (Classic Rock)

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: Very catchy song here. I really like the slide guitar and the tightness of the band. Not sure how many people were involved in this since it’s an instrumental. The audio quality is a lot better than most I have heard on here. The song had me tapping my foot, so that’s always a good sign!

Constructive Comments: I was waiting and waiting for the vocals to arrive, and was disappointed when I realized that it wasn’t happening. I really think this song could go places with the right lyrics and singer. Keep it up though, I really like this!

Broadjam Artist: Common Ground
Song: Monsters

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: This has an 80’s and 90’s vibe to it I like. It kind of reminds me of 38 special with more attitude and more punk rock or something. I really like the arrangement and musicianship. The band is definitely tight. Dig the guitar solo for sure!

Constructive Comments: I don’t have anything major to critique here. This song is well done, and the only thing I can think of is maybe the song could use a little different mix? Just my opinion though, I have definitely heard a lot worse, and this is good stuff overall.
