Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Harder To Hold

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Powerful rock intro leads into this high-energy song with wailing guitars and tight sound. Lead vocal is intense. Great vibe. Love the guitar, bass, drums – all working together like pros. Instrumentation is the real strong point in this song. Love the outro too. I like: less of a man/no place left to stand. Lose control/harder to hold.

Constructive Comments: I wish I knew what you were singing about. If I could only understand the lyrics. They were a little easier on the 2nd listen, but the first verse is key and I just couldn’t understand what it was about. Bring vocal up in mix, please, especially at outset. I could understand the lyrics more as the song went on, particularly when the instruments got quieter. I intend to read the lyrics (if you posted them) after I sign off this review.

Positive Comments: The tightness of the musicians is excellent. I mean super tight. This track got got better about the 2 minute mark. The guitar solo is good. I like the tone of the guitar. The melody is good as well. I actually like the tempo change at the end. That was a good redeeming quality. Keep it up guys!

Constructive Comments: Now for the constructive criticism…the production lacks a lot to be desired. Pretty sure you guys know that. I can get over that. The vocals and the lyrics need some work. The vocals at the beginning of the track are quirky, but not in the best way. They get better toward the end of the track. The lyrics are a bit elementary in composition and delivery. All of that can be fixed. I think this group has a lot of potential, but some work needs to be done. The musicianship is spot on. Please take my criticism as constructive, and in no way personal. Keep up the good work and I look forward to listening to more.

Song: Do The Monkey ( short version )

Reviewer: Fire in the Sky

Positive Comments: The mix and production are really great. The song is bright and loud. You can hear each individual instrument which is great. Quite a simple song, but with various nuances that make it somewhat more intricate. While I do like instrumental music, I’d much rather have vocals. No dings for that though. Overall great track for BG music in a video game.

Constructive Comments: The effect on the main guitar is a bit much for me. It would better in smaller doses instead of throughout the whole song. I don’t really have any other constructive criticism other than that. Keep up the good work !

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: THANK GOD FOR HEAVEN

Reviewer: Fire in the Sky

Positive Comments: Totally reminiscent of 90’s folky rock, a la Harvey Danger. Which is great for me because I love this stuff! I like the brightness of the track. Everything is really up there. I love the bass! The volume and levels of each instrument is great. Very crisp and fitting for this type of music. Great track and ready for more!

Constructive Comments: I don’t have much if any criticism at all…unless you think me comparing you to 90’s music or Harvey Danger is criticism. I don’t think so. I’d take it as a compliment. Like I said before, the levels are great. The brightness of the song is outstanding. I love it! Thank you and keep up the great work!
