This is a good Song, could better in some parts bit it's Cool! The voice remind me Peter Gabriel when use the low parts, I think that the best Thing in this Song is the guitar! Absolutely Amazing! Great touch and feel! The solo and the melodies are perfect, maybe I think that with anche incredibile sound like this you Should write anche instrumental Song to give at the Guitar the Right "freedom" of the sound. The drums and the bass make a good job in the background. Good Song, very Simple but good. Hope for you a great future!!!

This song has a nice beat. The sound is good. The lyrics are pretty good. Although I like the sound it probably won’t make it on the radio or sales. My music is very similar in sound and quality and I already know that about mine. I wish you the best and definitely keep on trying. I like the song. Take care and happy New Years. Keep on rocking. I’m giving you high marks because I like the music and sound quality.

Smooth grooving vibes from the start. Very cool song writing, I like the tension it develops through the track. Very good performance, sound and production. This is what I expect from a good rock song and here are all expectations full filled. The sound of each instrument is naturally produced and got enough power, that's a pure and authentic production. As always STAGE 11 are one of my favorites!

This band is well worth taking a listen to! Fantastic song writing just flows and takes you thru a musical adventure.Very well recorded and mixed! Vocals are so cool and the lyrics are great! Great job guys!!

Sounds like they cannot find their sound. Not impressed with the sound. Sounds like they are trying to cover Creed but without the chops. Unfortunately, I cannot endorse their sound. Too many issues from the drum sound and the vocal quality.

What draws you in almost immediately are the acoustic guitar strumming perfectly synchronized with the (very well recorded) drum moves (especially the cymbals - great work!). Dramatic, American rock style lead vocals fit the bill well and the arrangement is neat and intelligent. Occasional breaks from the repeating pattern provide interest and keeping the song interesting, not too repetitious. Well done !!

This was a good song to listen to. It had a lot of cool changes, the mix was pretty good. Although the bass track was a bit high during the verses. Then balanced out when the drums changed. Vocals are above the music, and clear, which is good. For some reason, the song stopped playing at about halfway. But the site a lot of issues, so it didn't shock me. However, it is something I will return to, to listen to, in its entirety.

The music was good the singer is just okay.. But you all seem to groove good together and that's important. I look to do music with great musicians. Good luck to you all in the world of music. Hope Joy Life and Music.. Weymouth Simba... Get a chance check out my Song Akendor

Another great song with a strong melodic Guitar that really works well. I won't review a song that doesn't grab me in the first few seconds, and this one does, very well. The guitar mentioned has a haunting quality but what also offsets it nicely is the stark, lonely drum sound reminiscent of John Bonham's on Zeppelin's "All Of My Love". Believe me, whenever a drummer gets a complement with Bohnam's name close by, it's real. Keep at it guys, you got something good going.

I really like the song it's a really good and very creative song well composed and well put together thank you for sharing your craft with the world and at anytime I would love to hear more of your music keep on making great music and never stop creating have a great day and may God bless you in all your endeavors

Yet again I'm amazed by your ability to surprise me musically. I have no criticism. Every part of the song is different yet flows together perfectly. Variety, skill, creativity. Nailed it

It's always a pleasure to discover an individual or group of musicians that are skilled, professional and pleasing to my ears. The subject matter is appropriate for the sound of this song and the lyrics speak to me ... after all who has not experienced Insomnia...? I am adding this band to my favorites they are worthy.... seriously I would love to meet these guys or at least watch them play. The vocals are spot on the acoustic guitar is really clean and full sounding (good engineering from my point of view) Electric Guitars and leads all skilled all members or individuals contribute solid performances.

Insomnia is one of the best tracks to appear on NumberOneMusic for quite a while. I have reviewed Stage 11's music before and they remind me somewhat of the best of The Decemberists. The vocalist has a wonderfully unique laid back quality to his emotive delivery but you always feel he has more power to deliver when required. This track is masterfully constructed featuring double tracked electric guitar work, fantastic cymbal work from the drummer and a tighter than tight rhythm section. They also remind me of an obscure English rock band from the eighties whose name escapes me but that I enjoyed very much. The track has a tremendous rhythmic quality from the off and as mentioned previously the guitar work is fantastic. Check Stage 11 out and you will not be disappointed.

So this band sent me their cd so I could review them for possible airplay on my radio show and showcasing through my promo label. Ive listened to their cd several times and I must say I find the band itself is very good. I quite enjoy their musical skills and their tenacity as a band sticking together and crafting their own individual sound. Honestly, the problem I see holding this band back is their vocalist, as much as I want to like the vibrato in his vocals, it just doesnt work all that well. He has good pitch and is in key but the tone of his singing just does not sit well with me. I wish the songs were better too, I find all the songs to be rather kind of the same with not much deviation from their standard tone. With that said, I hear alot of potential in this band and I can see why they have a following. I would be interested in seeing this band expand their horizons a little more and try concocting a new playlist with more diversity in their genre, maybe try stepping up the tempo in your music but most importantly the singer has really got to work on that shakiness in the vocal and try to bring some life to it. Right now its too Eddie Vedder style which is not playing in your favor. I really hate to come across too critical but dangit guys the band is really good!. The musicianship seems well crafted and honed of years of playing together and it shows. I like the different instruments I hear and the formulas for your arrangements are well versed. Its just the songs are not very enjoyable and nothing really stands out other than Open Water which is your best off your cd but still not great. I honestly listened to you guys several times and sat on the fence the whole time not ready to leap...I was so curious I put you fellas to the test of my writing staff and review crew and honestly it was negative..same feelings I have they expressed so sadly I'm going to have to decline helping to promote you guys. I truly only find about 1-5% of the thousands of songs and indie bands I listen to looking for the up and coming artists to play and promote have the gift, the special x-factor that sets them apart from the pack. I was hoping to find that in your band but its just not there, its good quality music and I imagine your fans love you and I bet your a hoot to see "live" in the local clubs...so please dont be upset, most indie bands out there aren't in the top tier, thats ok...Id say you're better than average with the potential to be more if you do some retooling of the band. Take care guys...please dont be offended and keep listening and sharing the Halshack. Ill be looking forward to hearing what you come up with in the future. Keep making your fans happy and building your scene.

GOOD SONG TO HAVE ON IN THE BACKGROUND WELL PRODUCED WITH SOME INTERESTING DIVERSITY GOING ON AND NICE CANT GET TO SLEEP VIBE VERY ATMOSPHERIC AND A LITTLE HAUNTING BUT GOOD FOR THE SOUL NONE THE LESS A GOOD INDIE ROCK TRACK FROM THIS LA OUTFIT WILL NO DOUBT IMPRESS EVEN MORE WITH GREATER LISTENS ONE MINOR CRITICISM VOCALS COULD BE CLEARER A LITTLE HARD TO DECIPHER AT TIMES GOOD EFFORT
