Song Title: |
The Chaos |
| |
|
|
| Vocals: |
Take too long to come in from a radio standpoint. Female vocals are eerie, they fit the song well.
|
| |
|
|
| Lyrics: |
“The Chaos” part is funny, kind of corny. Lyrics fit the idea of the song. Theme is easy for listener to follow. |
| |
|
|
| Musical Arrangement & Instrumentation: |
Simple, boring in parts, too long. Strings, keys, and drums all work together, this is a plus. Keyboards are strongest instrument in this song. |
| |
|
|
Recording Quality: |
Could be mastered, but mix and recording are listenable.
|

|
|
Additional Comments: |
Fun rock song overall!

Song Title: |
Anything But Gone |
| |
|
|
| Vocals: |
Singing fits, not overdone. Back up vocals sound real good. |
| |
|
|
| Lyrics: |
Meaningful. This song is about the death of a loved friend. Powerful lyrics. |
| |
|
|
Musical Arrangement & Instrumentation: |
No keyboards, but it’s not needed. quality guitar, real listener friendly. This song has a real specific mood and it’s obvious you aren’t faking the loss of your friend. Sincere! Could be a little tighter, but not bad. |
| |
|
|
| Recording Quality: |
Okay, not as good as major label, but better than most of the other demo submissions. |
| |
|
|
| Additional Comments: |
This song is way stronger than The Chaos. |

Song Title: |
Destiny Rage/Get You Down/Lies/Tears |
| |
|
|
|
Vocals: |
Great backups on Get you down. All vocals work on the songs they are on. Lies has a great sounding chorus. Vocals sound come in earlier on Tears. |
| |
|
|
|
Lyrics: |
Destiny has great lyrics. Get You Down is real uplifting. All lyrics fit the songs they are in. Listener can follow singer’s story lines and not get lost! |
| |
|
|
|
Music: |
Keyboards fit real well on Lies. Guitar changes are good for most part, Tears the most. Heavy guitar sounds nice on destiny. None of your songs are too long; this is good from a radio standpoint. We like how you incorporate funny, serious, heavy, keyboard, different elements in each song. |
| |
|
|
|
Recording Quality: |
Above average, way better than most local bands. |

Additional Comments: |
