Song: Stay Away – Instrumental (Classic Rock)

Reviewer: GoCasual

Positive Comments: This instrumental song has some good arrangements and performances. There’s a cool, rocking beat that’s almost a combination of punk and classic rock. I like what the drummer does with the high hat on what’s either the chorus or prechorus. The guitars are rocking and work well together, providing interesting leads over the rhythm. And the bass drives things along. Good tempo and enjoyable to listen to!

Constructive Comments: At first, I was thinking that the intro was going on for too long, but then I realized that the song is an instrumental. I’m not sure if this is just an instrumental version of a song on the artist’s profile, but it would be cool to hear it with vocals. It’s hard to picture what they would be and what the singer’s voice might sound like, but I’m curious.

Positive Comments: This song is lively and fun. It reminds me of some early punk rock stuff, like The Ramones. The production quality is very good with a clear mix. The guitar tone works nicely, and the bass drives the song to keep your head bobbing. The drumming is solid and stays with the tempo. The arrangements are good, perfect tempo, and great performances. I like the dynamics added by having the guitars drop out towards the end. And the modulation keeps the repeated chorus from feeling stale. The lyrics are funny and paint a picture of exactly what the singer wants. I’m sure a lot of guys (and girls) will appreciate the visuals of the lyrics. The background vocals work well to support the lead, and I can picture the rest of the band singing them in a live setting. A lot of music can feel pretentious, but this song is fun and a breath of fresh air. Nice work!

Constructive Comments: Hmm it’s difficult to say what could be improved. The song does a great job achieving what it set out to do. The parts are thought out. If anything, I might suggest the vocals have a little more dynamics in terms of intensity. The singer keeps an even keel. But that is normal for this type of punk rock. The same criticism could be said of the Ramones. And they’re pretty well revered, so I’d say the vocals are good as is.

Positive Comments: Enjoyable rock-pop song. Well structured and catchy chorus and quite a good subject matter to base the song around.

Constructive Comments: I didn’t like the drum intro. I felt it jarred with the rest of the song, but that is only my opinion of course.

Positive Comments: This was a really interesting song for me. At first I instantly thought it sounded dated but then something happened and I started to really get into it. I love some of the interesting guitar work and the vocals sound good

Constructive Comments: My biggest feedback revolves around the cause and effect part and the kills is like the dinosaurs. I think the dinosaurs line was way too repetitive. It felt like it took some of the substance out for meI also thought the cause and effect line could get spruced up. Perhaps it’s the way the female vocals overlap? I’m not sure but it just didn’t feel right for meOtherwise fantastic job and I look forward to hearing you again!
