Lana del Rey - Love (2017 Song)

Type O Negative October Rust CD
Type O Negative’s brand of music has always been hard to digest for listeners like me and modern rock radio and the band’s October Rust CD is not helping to solve the problem at all. Not only the album will alienate the band further from mainstream music but might …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
Chemicals is a track by Scars On Broadway which is on their self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that although I like the song itself, I’m not a huge fan of the studio version and would certainly recommend a live version over the studio version. Throughout this entire …
Nightwish - The Poet and The Pendulum
Without a doubt Tuomas Holopainen adores the same dark playfulness of a Danny Elfman score as I do. Many people debate the creditability of Nightwish’s new album “Dark Passion Play” and the band’s new singer Anette Olzon. I believe if people …
Erich Konzel: Symphonic Star Trek CD
Years ago, someone introduced me to the wonderful works of Erich Kunzel, director of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. He’s really quite good. Then the opportunity came along to enjoy Kunzel’s work along with a huge favorite of mine, Star Trek. With a spoken and dramatic introduction …
Duffy : Rockerferry

Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD
Overall, Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD is pretty good. It made great background music for me as I did things around the house. Sometimes I sang along and sometimes it made me stop and listen, while at other times, it was just music filling the air.
The …

Animal Collective - Good Lovin Outside (Song)

Good News for People Who Love Bad News, 2004 Album by Modest Mouse
This album is a fantastic work of musical art. There are some moments that clearly have weak spots. Some songs should have been on the album from my point of view because they are not consistent and high quality enough, but the main course, the central piece of the …
Song: It’s a Little Too Late by singer Toby Keith
It’s a little too late is a good song remake by singer Toby Keith. I have heard the original version and I have to be honest, I like Toby Keith’s version much better. It may be because I love the video and his humor. Toby Keith has an amazing …

Amen (Single) -Eden’s Edge

Tim McGraw
I’m not a huge country fan but I do listen to country music on occasion. One of my favorite musicians in this genre is Tim McGraw.
I’m not sure why I like McGraw as much as I do. I think it’s the fact he sounds like a traditional country singer, …
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey album doesn’t disappoint. At a moment when I thought that there might be lesser and perhaps then extinct singing voice from Mariah Carey, she surprises me up with an album.
And to summarize, E=MC2 truly is a fly. It has the normal sounding …
Iron Maiden - When Two Worlds Collide (Song)

It was during the summer of 2007. I walked into the library that was about 10 minutes from my uncle’s apartment. I went to the CD section and decided to try out some music that I hadn’t really listened to before. That’s when I saw the girl on the …
The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (Song)
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track which appears on Rubber Soul and certainly another one of Lennon’s earlier songs which I would consider to be among his best. I always used to believe, and still believe, that Rubber Soul was certainly the record where The …
The Eternal, 2009 Album by Sonic Youth
This album by Sonic Youth aroused a mixed reaction in me. On the one hand and I thought that this album could have been a lot better. On the other hand it still has a number of very good songs and some features, some very impressive features, which were …
The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Song)
