Song: there’s no glory

Reviewer: Ravensong

Positive Comments: Nice sound on the guitar and well played. Music has a light feel while the lyrics a bit dark in keeping with the theme of the song. Singer has a pleasing voice.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Beach
Song: Looks Can Be Deceiving

Reviewer: Jeff Ashbaker

Positive Comments: Very original sounding tune. I liked the use of the different instruments that sort of had the lead in the different sections of the song. The singer has a very real feel and adds to the appeal of this one.

Constructive Comments: The delay effect on the vocal was a little much in spots…. for my taste?Great job I really like the vibe

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Tell Me

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: I really enjoyed the feel of this song, with the laid-back keyboard in the background. Good chord progression. Solid demo.

Constructive Comments: I would prefer this being sung full-voice with some power behind it. After a while it got a little sleepy.

Broadjam Artist: Neil Fergus
Song: time’s up

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: A couple of good guitar tones on this demo

Constructive Comments: Just out-of-timing the entire song and the distorted parts??? I didn’t get it at all.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Illinois (Selsky/Dunkle)

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: A lot of power here with strong beat and drive. I think the wall-of-sound approach really works here, and I think an instrumental version of this would certainly have commercial possibilities. SUPER-TIGHT musicianship!

Constructive Comments: Personal taste, but for me the mumbled vocals through a megaphone effect take away from what is a powerful and dramatic song. They’re on key, just distracting.

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Fine Funk Food

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: The players can definitely play and the rhythm section is really good. Great bass lines and super-tight. Definitely more R&B than rock by a mile though. I’d re-classify this to get the right ears on it.

Constructive Comments: The high keyboard horn sounds like it’s being played through a leslie speaker and doesn’t work for me at all. That took down the overall rating a lot.

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: She’s Gonna Catch Cool

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Exceptional musicianship and the mix is very strong. I’d describe this as Country meets Huey Lewis, which is an interesting blend. Very well-done.

Constructive Comments: Because it’s so wordy I didn’t catch the hook until very late in the song but otherwise a strong performance.

Broadjam Artist: Ash Black
Song: QUICKSAND

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really good piece with great drum work as well as guitar work. Very unique and effective intro. Also very cool and unique guitar tone.

Constructive Comments: Great work!

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: I’m That Other Guy (alt shorter vocal)

Reviewer: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS

Positive Comments: Loved the story…. well done…..

Constructive Comments: There’s nothing I would change, add or subtract…. This is a poster song for perfect…
