Song: The Shaman

Reviewer: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

Positive Comments: has a nice smooth feel to it…a bit of a Pink Floyd meets YES sound… has some good dynamicsbottom line – nice job!

Constructive Comments: Has a lot of good parts to it…. def. sounds like an “Album” cut…. part of a theme…but the intro is a bit long in getting somewhere… song is moving but gets a bit on the long side…but – hey…in the days of Rock – all that was fine… meaning a concept album with long moving tracks was fine… bottom line – nice job!

Broadjam Artist: Warm Glow Studios
Song: Demons

Reviewer: Auralov

Positive Comments: There is a lot of great stuff going on in this song. I was tickled to hear the tempo change as it did a few minutes in, quite unexpected and the lyrics were tied in with this special effect that made it delicious. I’m listening to this song through earbuds, which is less than ideal, but the mix seems pretty balanced, and not hyped in any way. I can also tell the writer has done thoughtful observations of the topic being written about. Singing was more than adequate, and I really enjoyed the Latin flavor added to the urban elements which propel this song forward. I don’t remember hearing any drums forward within the mix. This is a very interesting choice of construction, and let’s the song move different to most rap being released. I hear a Linkin Park influence also.

Constructive Comments: I hear nothing to complain about, and enjoyed the different schools of music that this artist has pulled from within the song. I realize that the song pulls heavy from a rap influence, but there is also a heavy Latin feel with the beautiful flamenco style guitars. I’m hoping the writer, looking at his subject matter which was skillfully conveyed made it through the dark night of the soul which was being discussed

Song: 26. Riding Shotgun With The Angels

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Awesome words, but so sad. But you made it more of a celebratory situation, and not so sad. I loved that. It is a celebration when we know our dear departed is with Jesus. I really enjoyed this song.

Constructive Comments: It was great, but a time or two, it seemed like you had to cram several words into a little space. Perhaps if you could start earlier in the measure, it would allow the words to not feel so hurried. Just a thought. Other than that, pure perfection. I loved it.

Positive Comments: Beautiful guitar, and drums complimented it. Very relaxing. Great job really enjoyed it.

Constructive Comments: A little repetitive, maybe because I’m not into instrumentals as much. But I did enjoy it.

Constructive Comments: PERFECT as is. I wouldn’t change a thing. Great job.

Reviewer: Jane Doe

Positive Comments: Great song! I love the style and the vocals are good. It has lyrical content and I can see this being performed during an acoustic set at a concert. Well done!

Constructive Comments: I love the song, the only criticism would be I think there can be an alternate version created that uses additional instruments to make the song bigger. Great job, though!

Reviewer: Jane Doe

Positive Comments: The instrumentation of the song is good and it has a unique sound to it.
