"RAIN" by AWZ
I am listening to "RAIN," by AWZ. The title is quite appropriate, as it has been pouring rain here for days! This song is a somber, blues rock number in the zone of RATT, VAN HALEN (type vocals), and SCORPIANS. Nice work!!! I like the guitar soloing and background vocals too !!!

Music of an advanced feel
What can we say ,where do we start? This song reaks of the rock & roll essence . It's got everything that every person listens for in an iconic rock song. Solidarity , originality , a story, and emotion . We hear a lot of music here on N1M and we must say along with this material we have even listening to the future of the music industry. The music here reflects the classic rock atmosphere while portraying the modern rock feel. It's Not something you hear everyday, real people collaborating realistically performing and composing real music. This is what we like to hear. Please keep up this work. We may even tour together one day.

"Nice Groove"
Great job there Jeff! Nice chord progressions, guitars sound awesome. The overall mix is really nice. Drums, bass, guitars all mesh to form a "nice groove". The vocal harmonies on "It's raining" reply sound really good. Lead vocal has emotion. The guitar leads are really cool, too. Good job "Rock Star"!!!

Rain
Good old fashion blues number , in general a good mix , the vocals work well on this song , A great blues voice.I think the sound effects (thunder) distract from the song and get a bit annoying after a while , I suggest either drop them down in the mix or remove altogether The guitar work is great with just the right amount of effects but a second guitar or keyboards would really fatten out the whole song , bass is clear and sounds good in the mix along with the drums. Good memorable choruses and well constructed tune. I wish you all the best for the further :-)

Input on rain
I love the concept of the song,it hAve that original rock drive. I also love the what I call solo rifs and bridge points. What I really had a problem with is the production of your vocals first verse I can hardly understand some of the lyrics lift volume just a notch on lead background is good.

Odd but cool Song!
Wow, this one really caught me off guard. Has a very old Rock feel to it, Elements of Eric Clapton, with maybe a slight Southern Rock, and Psychedelic piece in there as well. Brings back memories of serious music from the late 1960's. I really like this piece. Keep doing what you are doing. Sounds really good. Have a great Christmas and Holiday season. Sincerely Edward Westbrook P.S. Love the Thunder!

True Old School Rock and Roll
Great lyrics... True old school Feel. You mentioned adding some three part harmonies. I think you could add a lift at the second half of the song with some additional vocals. I would be interested to hear the final version as you are well on the way to something that will resonate with audiences that appreciated real songs. All the best! Thanks for the chance to have a say!

Rain Review
Hi there.i listened carefully the song 'Rain'.In the begining i thought to stop it because of poor sound and messy.Then i started to get in the mood and i saw that it is a nice composition.The mood of lyrics doesn't go with the song though i liked the thunder.Keep on rockin'guys,nice backin vocals.

Make the rain go away
Unless you're Garth Brooks and performing The Thunder Rolls, stay away from thunder sound effects. It distracts from the song you're trying to perform. The guitars are slow and methodical - I actually enjoy this. Musically it's a fine song. The vocals struggle - sounding off key or just not engineered or mastered well. Removing the lead vocalist would drastically improve this.

Rainy Black Sabbath
Sounds so very much like Black Sabbath I can't look or hear away and I cannot deal with the not natural drums. The guitar work is solid and the voice is - what surprise - sounding like the band mentioned above... which is not quiete bad, but I'm missing the individual character. The songwork is quiete good, voice and guitars will work well, but I'm not convinced that this will be the next number one hit!

I Liked It...
It's actually thundering and raining outside while I hear this song to fit the mood. The song is 'good' and at first reminds me of a Halloween thing with the thundering. It sets that kind of feel to me. But what I 'really' like about the song is all those guitar leads in it. That makes this song really 'pop'. Lots of guitar....Good work, man! I like the groove you have, not too slow and not too fast. Good Luck in your music adventure ~ Gizzmow in Bonham, Texas.

When it rains it pours...
AWZ brings us Rain... A song that has so much potential but lacks the finer points of preparation and production. My first critique is that many of the words in the lyrics are misspelled... Wel... instead of Well... Knoledge instead of Knowledge etc... Then there is the sound of thunder in the beginning and through the song... sometimes it sounds like a garbage can being kicked and other times it sits in the background barely noticeable during the song. Overall the mix is not very well balanced as the drums are louder than everything else. The bass is barely distinguishable and therefore the chordal structure breaks down around the guitar as it is blunted by the drums. This song could have been so much more.

Hey guys!
Sounds like a mix between Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin! Guitars and vocals need to be more prominate so you can dig the coolness of the song!!!!! Rock on!!! Best regards, Simon!!

Rain
Hey, thank you for this beautiful song! It rocks! Very nice bass, amazing guitar sound, solo is just incredable. Vocalist has a powerful rock voice, liked it. The only tiny thing I would change is probably drum snare, to me it sounds too deep, I would make it more tight and punchy. Just experiment with it! To sum it up it's a great work!
