Song: Music Man Tonight
Reviewer: Randall Mark
Positive Comments: Catchy, free flowing mid-tempo rock song, reminiscent of Steve Miller Band. I really enjoyed the harmonies and vocals, with the overdubbing effects. I think that made the song! I found the song to be catchy, but in an interesting way. It was not too simplistic, the verses, that is. It was catchy in a unique way that I can’t quite put my finger on. The chorus was catchy in a traditional way, but the verses had something more to them that made the song more complex and intriguing.
Constructive Comments: I thought the build up to the ever-increasing harmonies was very effective. At about 2:40 to about 3:10 into the song it really soared to the peak with those harmonies. I wonder if the song ended shortly after that point, if it would have been even better. The last 50 seconds or so was a bit anti-climactic. I liken it to a top ranked athlete. Sometime it’s better to retire at your peak or close to it rather than keep playing and the last performances are not your best. Overall good song that I enjoyed!
