Two reviews were written in season 2 episode 1 already!

@grizzle was the first to enter with his review about @theturtleproject

I like The Turtle Project. The Turtle has a gentle maturity to his songwriting. Blending mellow production with a light almost spoken touch to his vocals The Turtle conjures up a sound that is reminiscent of mellow Nick Cave...

@that.bass.guy entered second with his review about ScaleTheSummit.

The guitar works that were done by Chris Letchford (lead guitar, 7 string) and Travis Levrier (rhythm guitar, 7 string) are just awesome. Chris Letchford uses such graceful and light technique but so professional and Travis has just awesome tapping parts. He's one of the most creative rhythm guitarists I've heard s far.
