Comment ~ Critique – This songs really drives forward, although, I couldn’t make out the lyrics, the song
seems to get a bit lost around the middle eight. I liked the way the lead guitar came in on the
second verse.

Comment ~ Comments - Catchy rhythm with good changes of pace - vocal mostly up front - hook
emphasized both musically and lyrically - good instrumentation - lyric simple but tight

Comment ~ Hi energy. I'd like the vocals a little more out in front. Great instrumental at about 1:30.
Couldn't follow the storyline without a lyric sheet, though.

Comment ~ Liked the rhthym of the song and the guitar transitions, but was lost on the vocals and lyrics.
With a little fine tuning, this could be a very good song

Comment ~ Comments: Really enjoyed this one. Great guitar playing, good singing, although I couldn't
understand most of the lyrics...vocals need more enunciation and to be brought out better in
the mix. Singing of second line of 1st chorus seemed to "telegraph" what was coming, need to
build more dramatically. Nice change-up after 2nd verse. With a little polishing, a potential hit.

Comment ~ It has a good beat. Guitar is good. The words are hard to understand. Vocals need to be
improved and thickened. Dynamics are good. Clarity in vocals would
help this song.

Comment ~ Love the feel, the basic set-up of this song. Has the right ‘instant grab’ quality for pop. Singing
is a bit lost in the mix, unfortunately – made it hard work to listen to than it should’ve been.
Singer’s tuning is a bit doubtful in places, sounds like they are always straining at the top end
of their range; perhaps try dropping it all a tone or two – the whole thing might settle more and
be more pleasing on the ear. Anyway, that’s a performance criticism, I didn’t mark you down for
it. Song-wise, structure is tight, good variation between verses and choruses to hold interest
level - well written/crafted guitar stuff keeps it all driving along really well. Unfortunately a lot
of the lyrics don’t fit well in the time/rhythm allotted, so they come across as hap-hazard and
rushed and quite hard to make out, which lets the song down overall.

Comment ~ Critique: A very dynamic song, good instrumentals and recording. It feels a little like your voice
is held somewhat back and needs to project more. I couldn't get all the lyrics, unfortunately. A
great effort.
