Broadjam Artist: Catch Ten One Ten
Song: Rooftops (feat. Adam Benjamin)

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: terrific production with nice dynamics and cool usage of tones and instrumentation.vocals are effective and sincere with a solid melody linethe song is very haunting with the weaving in and out of the strings and the counter rhythm.

Constructive Comments: my only concern here is that some of the phrasing seems a bit off to me. particularly “when I’m not here to say you’re everything” – breaking that by holding onto Say (to make it fit the prior line) just doesn’t work for me.otherwise, this is a very nice, effective song that I can definitely hear in a film soundtrack.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Love And The Leaving (Rock – Alternative Pop, Pop – Alternative)

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: nice production – rich guitar tone, nice panning with wide spectrum. Vocals are solid with nice emotion.This song reminds me a bit of some of the more ballad numbers by 3 Doors Down (thankfully without the slamming power chords that I think ruined a lot of their songs)The lyrics are bittersweet and the melody works within the chord structure.Beginning the song with the chorus is always a nice, different touch.

Constructive Comments: the repeating of words in the chorus, while effective in its own way I felt was more of an affectation and didn’t really do it for me, but that’s just my own preference.this is a beautifully crafted song that perhaps could use a bit more counterpoint, but again, that’s my preference. nicely done!

Broadjam Artist: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
Song: It’s No Thrill

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: really get a ZZ vibe from this.production is very good with a punchy, warm bottom end.Imaginative melody that’s a nice contrast to the groove of the song.strong lead guitar work throughout.Hook is effective and nicely “different” and I liked the double panning of the vocal track as well as the subtle but effective use of backing vocals

Constructive Comments: the first line of the first verse seems a bit swallowed and the line “Rent pushes me out the door” seems a bit rushed and nor fitting with the meter of the rest of the melody.other than that – this is a very fine effort!

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: COLLIDE .13

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: imaginative lyrics and concept as well as the treatment of the vocals and harmonies – especially like the answer back with the funny, falsetto voice.Instrumental track is very solid and the mix works fine.this is a fine novelty piece, with a vocal delivery that occasionally falls into parody like Monster Mash.

Constructive Comments: an acquired taste to be sure, but I’m good with that.some of the lyrics however have me a bit baffled – “waiting FORTH to live” huh???? But otherwise this is an interesting bit of navel contemplation.
