Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really good piece with great instrumentation and effects and insightful lyrics as well. Intro and outro both are very good.

Constructive Comments: Very good piece.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: LET ME KNOW

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very traditional sound, and the instruments are recorded beautifully. This reminds me of some older Dr. Hook sounds, and overall it’s a solid listen.

Constructive Comments: Just for my taste, the song should get into full instrumentation WAY before the 2-minute-plus mark. It kept sounding like a loose demo, then everything finally came together. Others may find the sparsity working in the 1st half, I just didn’t personally. Especially since the instruments sound SO GOOD together.

Song: Prison

Reviewer: Jon Omen

Positive Comments: Normally not a big fan of this genre, but this song was excellent. I think this has massive potential to be placed in some tv shows or movies. That guitar solo at the beginning was a little unnecessary but holy crap i wish i could play like that. Loved the vocal tone, extremely well mixed as well, great work!

Constructive Comments: Only thing i might have changed in this song was adding another instrument or two, maybe some type of pad and a few accent instruments…. but overall this song is done and done. Good luck and i hope it does well!

Song: WOULDN’T LIFE BE EASY?

Reviewer: Jon Omen

Positive Comments: Very good song overall and i think this could easily get picked up for some syncs. Really enjoyed the lyrics and was very easy to listen too. Keep it up!

Constructive Comments: Thought the mix could use a little bit extra work but it’s good where it is. Would liked to have had the vocals be a little more forward and crisp, but that’s a personal preference. If there was anything else I’d say it could use a little variation but as is, i think it would be really easy to fit into some media. Good job on this one.

Song: GONNA BE ON TIME!

Reviewer: Jon Omen

Positive Comments: I enjoyed the lyrics and the instumentation. Overall good arrangement of the song. I thought the song was great, personally I’d just go back and work on the mix.

Constructive Comments: Biggest issue with this song was in the mix. Felt muddy at time and a the guitar, although a well written part, sounded harsh in the mix and made it difficult to hear the vocals at times.

Song: In Every Way

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Outstanding guitar work, and the overall vibe is a gorgeous mix of styles. This is great listening music for sure, with unusual but welcome harmonies. Broadjam could use more quality stuff like this!

Constructive Comments: The long intro for me was extended too far, and not in tempo with the rest of the song. I’d love continuity of tempo because the song itself is a glorious listen.

Broadjam Artist: Passin Throu
Song: Everyday

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Well-played with a good, solid drive. I hear a combination grunge and .38 Special in the sound, and overall it’s a cool listen.

Constructive Comments: Personal taste, I found the mix very dirty (not just over-driven) with the rhythm guitar so dominant it virtually drowns out any bass that may be in the song, as well as muddying the lyrics. I think a re-mix would do wonders for this.

Song: You Looked Into My Eyes

Reviewer: John van Wicklen

Constructive Comments: Performance is choppy. Needs work.
