Victor,
Here is my latest review of Abandon.

The song is the story of the internal struggle about facing one's fears. I am assuming the singer is referring to God in the lyric, but it could be his father as well. It is not clear, but I'm not sure it matters as the song is ready for prime time.

Nice melodic intro, sets up the rest of the song. Very straight forward progression that is played well by the band. One thing to note is that the band does not get in the way of the singer. This song has a strong message and it's all about the vocal and the lyric, so I'm glad to see that it was produced that way. So often I hear great lyrics that are interrupted by a blistering guitar solo or off-beat drums. This is the type of progression that is really fun to solo over, so Kudos to the band for holding back on this one. The solos are well-positioned. Sometimes it's what you don't play that counts.

Vocal reminds me a little of Daughtry. Good delivery, good phrasing throughout. The set-up for the chorus at 40 seconds is right on. The phrasing in the verse and the contrasting phrasing in the set-up makes this song really work. You can feel the energy build, with or without the band. Another new phrase in the chorus brings It home. This is really well done. At 1:41, the singer really adds some feeling to this. Nice touch.
The drums may be slightly loud in the mix, especially in the first verse. This is probably more personal taste, so take it for what it's worth. Very good drummer that truly supports the singer. Good guitar part writing and harmonies as well.

I am digging to find more constructive criticism, but having a difficult time. It does feel a little dated, but couid very easily find a spot in today's market.

If it was my song, I am not sure I would change much. The production, instrumentation and vocal are good. It doesn't sound like it has been mastered yet, but I am sure that will just enhance it as well.

I believe I reviewed this once before and thanks for the opportunity to hear all of the improvements. You have made great progress, keep up the good work and keep me posted on your new stuff.

One last note: I am curious about the singer. It sounds like someone I played with years ago. Who is it?

Thanks for being a member.

All the best,

Roy
