After Today Review
The After Today hook in the chorus of the song makes the listener want to hear it again. Great sounding vocals and harmonies on this song. I wanted to hear some type of musical solo in the middle especially when the opening started with a guitar power slide. Great drum rhythm on the song. Keep Rockin' with your song writing guys, nice to hear your cool music!

After Today review
Let's start by saying I like this song. It comes out of the gate right away in your face and rockin. There are a few things that would make this a more successful song to the listener though. One would be to remix your levels so that your vocals are a little more out front and can be understood better. You have written a positive song and it should be heard clearly. As far as the track behind it, I would suggest trying to break down the guitar a little during your verses to give the song more dynamics. Perhaps mute the guitar during your verse and then power them up in your chorus. Your melody tends to run the same throughout your song so you can improve it by adding textures like I'm suggesting with the guitar. Maybe even drop everything out for one of your chorus lines and simply sing it without the music then kick back in. Keep it going though. You're heading in a good direction!

Roots meet metal
First this song started off like roots reggae then it merges into a heavy metal sound. It has a good sound with a message. Very edgy blending really nice with your vocal. Keep up the great work, you are on to something here.

After today
this is really quite expressive. Good lyrics well written good sound. changes are ok ...The strength of the meaning is on point. Need to revisit vocals. Be sure where to punch ton connect with the audience. composer could do some more work..harmonies need to strengthen and flow in tandem adding strength to the message.Voice with surety and be a part of being an instrument. some work and you can have a real hardcore rock sound which is unique....

Catchy
I like the song over all, I'd suggest taking a bit more time and consideration regarding how to make the very beginning and ending of the song smoother and maybe slower or softer something to help it flow in and out more fluidly. Also make sure to keep the energy levels up within yourself while your singing there are a few times you sorta dropped off like weren't standing within and as your voice within your words if that makes sense? But overall its catchy maybe even do something different all together with the beginning and ending to add more depth and for you to show us more of your character and different expressions.

Not Today
"High Expressions" has sent me a request to review their song "After Today". I am listening through my speaker's on a I-Mac. My first impression after the vocal's & guitar ripped my face off and my ear's stopped ringing was, it is hard to hear the drum's and bass even when you are focused on them. I suggest killing the vocals, correct the volume's of the bass, drum's and guitar's, then bring the vocal's back in. Now kill the instrument's and get your vocal's happening and bring the instruments back in. Adjust the volume of the BGV's and the main Vox to the instruments. This is your song and my guess is maybe you want the vocal's blaring. If you are using a computer for recording, I suggest purchasing an autotune software that will work with your music software. Someone's singing is as flat as my girlfriend in 6th grade! Rock On!

Nice and fresh
After Today has a nice starting riff and a good idea of composition, but at the same time they should improve their play with playing with different voices cause at some occasions the melody of the song gets blurred and loses the strength of the starting idea. Apart from that they sound well and I hope to get some more nice singles coming soon

High Expressions
A great piece of work, a great concept of rock and reggae style vocals that gives the track an authentic hybrid classic sound. love the vocals very distinct and strong. sounds like a live band performance and overall a piece of work that could go places.

Work in progress
Well it is always a matter of opinion but what I hear is a rough draft of this song. You have a chorus that you want to be heard but its probably not a good idea to repeat that to often. Could be room for one more verse. Its lots of vocals (harmonies) going on and not all of them are in pitch. So you should sort that out. (And not with autotune) Another thing is that the backing vocals should be mixed further in the back. I would also like to hear the rythm section more in the mix. It doesn´t seem to peak so that could probably be higher in the mix og the rest of it lower. The guitar souds a bit blury and could do with a bit less overdrive. The song has a mid section that could be cool where the rythm section should make more room probably for a solo of some kind instead of vocals. With the right producer and a pro studio I guess this song could be real cool. Keep on rockin´ and stay safe. All the best -Kris

My Review
I think the concept of the song if great but the harmony is a bit off or maybe it needs mastering but there's a harmony issue I can tell. See if you can figure out how to get the harmony together especially with the hook.

Needs Some Work
This song is not bad but there are a couple of things I would change: 1. The melody. After a couple of listens it becomes boring and repetitive. Something more tuneful, uplifting and positive sounding would give this song mass appeal. 2. The guitar tone. As it is it is too heavy. I would use less distortion or use a different guitar for a better sound for example a Fender Telecaster. Keep on rocking.

After This
One of the things I enjoy most about Number One Music artists is the newfound ability to hear music from around the world by singers who I'd never have the chance to listen to otherwise. That, in itself, is a great thing. Here, with this song we get a fun local San Diego band and it's just fun for the spring. Vocally the overlay of the singers is a little distracting and there are some production things which would probably help, but overall something you could drive the convertible down the coast highway listening to.

Right on
Right on right on great musical effort, juat keep hitting this spot and I am sure you will soon see the rewards of the hard yet good work that was put in to make music like this. It is a good song. Keep making the music and share it with us. Blessing

Not bad
I like your sound I think with some polishing you may have something great! . Think the intro was alittle long, I really could make out what the lyrics was. Add a cgsbge upnin middle of song. All n all I like it just polish it up!

Review of after today
This is not a bad effort. The song has a good flow. The vocalist has a nice tone and so do the harmonies of the backing tracks. There are moments however when the two don't blend due to a little pitchyness. The biggest problem this song has though is in the mix. The tones of the guitar and the symbols get lost in each other's frequencies. It is very difficult to enjoy the drums since the guitar overpowers them, and it's clear the drums put in a performance that should be heard more prevalent than they are. As far as arrangements go the ending is the weakest spot and could use a little more work
