Bop review
Here’s another great track here on number one music, the song reminds me of early moody blues and Tom petty and the rough roasters. Just a simple slow rock/bluesy feel type of track. Nice arrangements and nicely recorded tracks also the instrumentation of the arrangement is spot on this is a song that could even be considered as an early punk ara. I also wanna throw in there vocals were nicely performed as well.

looking for a cleaner mix
the first thing that hits you is a heavily compressed guitar line that one immediately wishes was cleaner and probably performed with less bends and far less echo/reverb. The overall level of time based effect on the vocals and guitars tends to muddy the mix tremendously. Again, the vocal is mixed with far too much effect and too far behind the music to be discernible for more than just the basic melody. One needs to point out that while the guitar playing is ambitious, it should be confined to what is within the players ability to perform well, and cleaner more melodic lines would probably benefit the song far better. Once again the suggestion to clean up both the guitar and vocal tracks, pan the bass and guitars to give a little separation and bring the vocal up front more, with FAR less reverb or echo.

Incarcerated review
This is really an interesting song. You have a good intro signature with the lead guitar and it plays nicely throughout the composition. The vocals with the high and low work very well together as well. As far as the storyline, it come off very straight ahead and thoughtful. A very personal glimpse into someone behind bars struggling with a love lost. Very nice writing. The length of the song is right in line with most things out today as well. I still would recommend not using the canned applause at the end of the song, but that is your preference. You have obviously written many songs (some I have reviewed before) and there is a good amount that would do well if they were re-recorded for today's market style. Perhaps take them in again. they seem like a collection of past recordings that could use a refreshing to compete today. Good luck and keep working your music!

A Rock Anthem
The guitar is dramatic at the intro and the rhythmic riff is powerful almost orchestral. I like the song my only criticism is on the same mistake I alway made in my recordings. That is over effecting the voice. let your voice find itself and trust it rather than bury it in reverb and delay. I always disliked my voice and always piled on the reverb and whatever else I had at hand but my musicians made me stop doing that and I found that though many didn't like my voice, many not only found it appropriate for the music but even interesting and distinctive. You put the music out there, put your voice out there as well.

Likeable
It’s a nice tune and I would like to understand the lyrics but lacks of definition in the recording or the mix is not matched. Also no gimmick for people to remember the song, you need like a guitar or chorus gimmick, like a catchy tune.

Tragical Song with deep feelings
I like the lead-guitar which plays also the main role in this song. The chorus is the message and makes the meaning of the song engaging for me. The lyrics implementing desperate feelings of a lost relationship. The solos of the lead guitar come at the right time and brings increasing feel into the music. The drums and clear sound of the accompaining acoustic guitar make the arrangement complete. Overall this song can remind also on own problems and it´s an original. I´m sure you will also like to add him. Let others know your recommendation.

Ric's Review
Hi John, Nice tune brother. Good vibes and easy flow. Backing vocals, Guitar rips and the crowd at the end is a nice close. Diggin it! I would add some complex drum fills at either half or double tempo to further hone listeners' attention. Overall, good job.

A rocking tune with lots of heart
Hi John, I like your song. Your guitar work is great and the backing instrumental trax work well. I also like the sentiment of the lyrics. There are a few things that I'd like to point out, though. I could not understand the lyric until I actually brought them up. You seem to have a fairly good voice and I think you've buried the vocal under too much effect. Another thing that you probably won't like is that the song, although clear in its content, seems somewhat disjointed. You may want to retool the song a bit (that's what you won't like). One more thing, if you can be sure to "normalize the song once you've completed it as this will open up ever nuance in the song that can be lost when the song has very low db's. Keep up the good work, you do have talent.
