Song: B 12. Polaroid Kickstand ft Tana Threadgill

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Finally a song that makes sense on sooooo many different levels. Musically , Lyrically,In a Recreational and medicinal way as well. Lol!! It’s that time of the year I’m sure you know when the pruning sheers are starting to be used again. Lol!!Anyway back to the review. I like the song a lot. The lyrical content and the way it was delivered was very effective and done by a good singer with a unique tone. (Unique meaning good) I thought the production was good as well as the performance. All in all a very effective tune. It was soo effective that I had to go and take a five minute adjustment break. Five minutes later AAaaaaahhhhhh!! Thank you for that listen

Constructive Comments: Aaaaaahhhh!! Nothing to add here!

Song: A Similar Fate / Rock Alt

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is really nice music!! The chord progression is really catchy and pleasant! The guitar is pretty well played for the most part. You should continue to develop this!

Constructive Comments: The recording quality is not very good. There are very affordable excellent software DAWs available these days. There are also virtual instruments, drum programs, and loops which would allow you to fill this out into something really nice! Good work. Take care. Greg

Song: 30. None (Austin Tyl3R / Starburst)

Reviewer: Caleb Bundrick

Positive Comments: Great vocals and lyrics, I really enjoyed this song. Instrumentation is great. The solo is reminiscent of a tool solo. I hear a lot of early 2000s influence in song structure and vocal patterns. Mudvayne comes to mind. The music fits the subject matter of the song quite well. The harmonized long vocal notes really sound good.

Constructive Comments: Honestly I don’t have much to complain about here. The sound is not really original but that did not detract from me enjoying it. Guitar solo was a little quiet in the mix, and not very technical but that is on par for this particular sub genre that falls between hard rock and metal. Some of the drum fills are lost in the mix.

Song: Rusty Day Signal / Heavy Metal

Reviewer: Caleb Bundrick

Positive Comments: I really like the melody. The guitar tone is cool. Good use of flanger. This song has a lot of potential if mixed and mastered better. Tempo is perfect for the song and the melodic structure is creative enough to keep the listener engaged. The two guitar parts compliment each other well. The mood is relaxing to mildly brooding.

Constructive Comments: The mix is fairly muddy. The drum loop is very boring, it does not change at all throughout the song. The percussion sounds like it is just a raw loop from a library and definitely needs more attention in the mix to create a more authentic feel. I could not hear a bass line. There are some spots in the recording of the guitar where finger noise could be edited out.
