The bass and drums could be so much fatter&#8211;the kick needs boosting with the pair it to a low synth trick.  The word &#8220;anthem&#8221; is awkward it&#8217;s deeper but the diction doesn&#8217;t flow very well.  There are so many spaces where it just falls out to thin FM synth sounds.  Making this a deep heavy groove would make such a difference.  The vocals have too much of an ambient bounce.  You need to double track and make them heavier.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Black DiamondsSong: That AnthemReviewer: Jeff RobertsPositive Comments: The intellectual content is high on this one&#8211;a lot of deeper meaning in &#8220;riding hard to that anthem&#8221;.
