Stage 11 so reminds me of early Pearl Jam and the vocals on this track so mirror the great Eddie Vedder! From the beginning melodic riff I was drawn into this tune. Definitely a hit for Stage 11 - great job guys!!!

A epic sounding rock soundtrack, this song "Open Water" starts soft + etherial using good music dynamics and as the song progresses into a solid rock groove it brings shades of Creed and Pearl Jam. Good Musicianship and playing on this recording, keep up the good work STAGE 11. I could also hear this track as a soundtrack for a Movie or a scene relating to the Lyrics.

Really like the intro, lots of shimmery guitar and glissando. Very reminiscent sounding of pearl jam, like the timbre of the vocals. The only thing that I was struck with that may have been out of kilter were the drums. Not sure that rimshots on the verse were well placed, however the marching band rhythm in the chorus and second verse were more effective. Sound production very good. Would definitely buy this

Just have been listening to this song from Stafge 11 as i am always curious in other bands . I like it. Especially the vocals remind me of Eddie Vedder and take that as a compliment guys. Song is great too, well written, good strudture of the song. Well done guys !!

Interesting song you have here, Stage 11. I like the arrangement and I can tell you put a 'lot' of work into it. It has very nice dynamics and flows along very nicely. I can almost hear it as a movie open or ending credit rolling track as it has 'that' kind of feeling. I was waiting for heavier guitar riffs at the bridge, but you put them at the end where they sounded better. It wouldn't hurt it any at the bridge if you want to kick it there some. Good song overall...Good Luck on your Music adventure here at N1Music.....Gizzmow, Bonham, Texas ~

I Really like Your tune... it tells The Story I just wish that The Vocal will be a little better ( some notes are off the tune ).. but I'm hearing that You put Your Heart in to..i got a Good "vibes"..I hope that You will send This Song to AM / Radios and Music Publishers ..let see what They will say...it is great to dance so I'm sure People will like it at The Concerts..Hey let me know I'm in LA also.. I wish You good luck... Good Job...

Hi!! I like this Song! The voice is so Deep e and good, it's a mix between Eddie Vedder and Scoot Stapp. The acoustic part it's Simple and very good, clear and very Cool. I like the chorus with the Electric Guitar and a drums more heavy. The bass is Simple and make a very good in the back. The Song is Radio-friendly and I Hope to listen more of you in the future. So please continue in this Way!! Good luck!! Stay Rock!

The singer has a good voice, reminds me of Eddie Vedder. I like the transitions from mellow verses to more rocking choruses. Very good drums using a military style beat in parts of the verses. I like the Ocean theme lyrics & references to the stars. Very good production as well!!

An ethereal intro allowing the listener to acclimate before fully submerging into the water. Vocal melody seamlessly intertwines with the light percussion and guitars culminating in a crescendo introducing full instrumentation of the pre-chorus. Well written lyrics provide poetic verses and a memorable chorus refrain. Expertly performed alongside quality recording and mixing.

I like the melody and the acoustic guitar very nice. When the song kicks in with percussion very cool and I like the story , I like everything about this song . Great mix on all levels very cool.

Hi you guys, like this one too, your Amazing twisting palm muted guitar and incredible rythmic lines are absolutly...yeah! (wanna buy your drummer ;) ) I would only have changed a couple of things. I would insert a quarter's beated on the rim after the first theme and a little bit less high frequencies in the master eq (maybe is just my taste infact is something I Always have to level this frequencies in the master of my songs...but hope you like the impression) ;)

This is one of the best songs I’ve heard on N1M. The guitar and vocal harmonies are on point. The lead vocals are fantastic. The guitar chords and structure are amazing. I will certainly be saving this song to my favorites and diving into more of their tunes. Good job, guys....very good job.

Amazing Song!! Quality sounds great. I like the subtle build before we get the drums in the chorus. And I like the lyrics of the song, it was very well written. and the vocalist has a great voice.

This is impressing... in the beginning the guitars roll right in with nice picking, but when the voice starts with it's overwhelming harmonies one might realize what's that for. This song lives from that and comes hand in hand with the lyrics. The song writing is wonderful. This is really state of the art ROCK! Great production, recording and performing. Really awesome! Stay that way!

I don't know if you're speaking about your wife/girlfriend or your mother. In either case this song makes a good case for living and what we really need in our lives. I'm quite impressed with this song. It says what it means and means what it says. I'd like to try and be critical but there isn't much to complain about here. The giutar work is great and the vocals are in tune and the production and mix are right on. Great job!!

NICE RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS INSPIRED INTRODUCTION WITH A COOL CLEAN REVERBED UP ELECTRIC GUITAR TONE ONE THING I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HEARD IN THE VERSES IS A HI HAT FROM THE GET GO JUST SIMPLY KEEPING TIME A RIMSHOT COMES IN TOO LATER ON IN THE VERSES.THERE IS GOOD TENSION AND RELEASE HERE AND GOOD BUILD UP TOWARDS THE CHORUS WITH THIS LA OUTFITS PRODUCTION ON THIS SONG I ALSO LIKE THE DARKER INFLUENCES RUNNING THROUGH THIS TRACK FROM A LYRICAL STANDPOINT WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT

Awesome! From the intro part til the end part the song has its perfection and its total originality. The vox is perfectly synchronized to the music, and it's rare that we can find such a piece of song with Excellency in music. Keep it up and best of luck!! Cheers!!

Maybe that's not what they call it now! But either way this is really good. I can't find anything to criticize. Good song, good musicianship, good quality recording, it's all there. I'll have to check out your page and see what else your all up to. Great effort on this one though for sure!

I won't review a song that doesn't catch me right off the start. This song does. I've seen it said water is the symbol of great danger, "the abysmal" because of no one being able to tell its true depth, from sight. This song has a great structure, vocals easy to understand and nice ideas with the guitar plucks against the melody as it goes to cool power chords. Then it brings itself to a good resolve, which feels like a way out of some serious danger. Cool song. I really like the melodies that go from friendly to haunting..

I dig the style ... Clear / clean sound . It has that English Invasion sound ... I like the transition from the opening vocal to where the music comes on like a railroad train .. I really like ya'll's sound . Keep the faith Swayde Cash /ToadLee Jones
