Broadjam Artist: Simpson-Mancine Band
Song: Lost in a Maze
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Very theatrical and I’m hearing major Queen influences. The guitar work is exceptionally-nice, with a slight Ritchie Blackmore feel. All the instruments are well-recorded and the vocal is spot-on. Very enjoyable listen.
Constructive Comments: Personal taste – I’m not a fan of the upright piano sound, compared to something like a Yamaha baby grand. There’s no discernable hook so I had to mark it down a bit from a “market potential” aspect. But I liked the overall song a lot. I wish there was a little more continuity in the blend of the keyboard but maybe that’s just my ear picking up the tone that doesn’t work for me. Strong effort though!
