Britney Spears
When Britney Spears was in her prime I was never really a big fan of her. I did like some of her songs, just not all of them. When she went through her difficult time of cutting off her hair and locking herself in the bathroom, I thought it …
Iron Maiden - Children Of The Damned (Song)
Children Of The Damned is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album The Number Of The Beast. Opening up in a very melodic fashion, Children Of The Damned features a nice interplay between a clean guitar pattern mixed with some very nice bass fills from …
Don’t Turn The Lights On - Chromeo
I am a huge fan of music that has a distinct eighties vibe to it, not least of which music actually made in the eighties. There is just something about the use of cheesy synths and rhythm inspired pop base lines that just keeps me listening without question. For …

NOFX coaster was released on the 28th april 2009 on Fat Mike’s famous label Fat Wreck Chords which he runs with great success to this very day in the East Bay of San Francisco. This is NOFX 11th release. There all pushing 40 years of age but by no …
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson CD album is unique. The title of this CD is also Jennifer Hudson. She is such an amazing singer, it’s no wonder that she has won an award before. Her voice is so precious and awesome and I felt sorry for her from the bottom …

Spiderbite is a song off of Jerry Cantrell’s Degradation Trip album. There were actually two versions of this album released. The original version - Degradation Trip which has Spiderbite as the 12th track. The other version entitled “Degradation Trip Vol 1 & 2″ was a 2 disc album, which …
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
This is the second album of Fall Out Boy that I’ve heard. It’s really good, but for some reason I love the first one (From Under the Cork tree) better. I was watching (guess what…) MTV (again! Is anyone seeing a pattern here?) and I saw the music video …
Pink Floyd - Money (Song)
Money is track a track by Pink Floyd which appears on their iconic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. I say that the album itself is iconic but I’d also say that this track, along with many others on that album, has also become iconic in rock and …
CD Evan and Jaron
The CD Evan and Jaron (this is the name of the group and the name of the album) was my first rock CD, although it is really just pop with a rock feel. Like pop, the music seems over-synthesized, with too many extra or computer-generated instruments. It …
The Rolling Stones - Talkin’ ‘Bout You (Song)
Talkin’ —˜Bout You is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Out Of Our Heads. The track starts off with a nice blues-rock sounding riff before going into the main rhythm of the track which certainly continues this blues-rock feel as it’s paced with …
Gold Cobra, 2011 Album by Limp Bizkit
I think that this album really marks a come back from Limp Bizkit. When I listened to this album I was really surprised to find out that it was pretty good. The albums by this band that they recorded after 2001 were really boring from my point of view. …
The Rolling Stones - Where The Boys Go (Song)
Where The Boys Go is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Emotional Rescue. The song starts out with a very steady rock and roll rhythm with Jagger coming in with the vocal part very quickly and he has a melody which I personally think …
The Who - Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand (Song)
Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand is a song by The Who which appears on their album The Who Sell Out. Opening up with a lighthearted hand, a gentle vocal harmony enters the track for the first verse. Though the verse doesn’t go on for very long, I have …
The Grateful Dead - Hollywood Cantata (Song)
Hollywood Cantata is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Blues For Allah. The song opens up with a false start which I personally find unnecessary and purely filler. The track then goes into the actual take and opens up with an introduction which seems …
The Beatles - She Said She Said (Song)
She Said She Said is a track which appears on The Beatles’ record Revolver. Although I would certainly say that She Said She Said is certainly overshadowed by Tomorrow Never Knows in terms of a psychedelic sound and influence but it is clear that this track does indeed have …
Esp Ltd Ex-50 Electric guitar
To start this review off, I’m gonna sum this guitar up. It is perfect for intermediate, Advanced, and Guitar gods and VERY cool looking. Comes in gloss black, snow white, or metallic silver (thats what I got). It has a great sound for stock pickups, has …
The Grateful Dead - Go To Heaven
Overview - Go To Heaven, The Grateful Dead’s eleventh effort, is unfortunately an album that I’d have to say is average at absolute best, probably even worse than that to be honest. The opening track made me pretty hopeful for the rest of the album since it carries a …
Muse
I must admit, the first time i ever heard there music, I hated it. I listened to ‘ Feeling good ‘ and i thought it was absaloutley WIERD! So i never went near them. It was when my sister told me i would like this song ‘ …
Meshuggah Contradictions Collapse CD
Meshuggah is not a household name. Most people will go through their lives never hearing about an experimental Math/Metal band named Meshuggah. They are from Sweden, and are hailed as the Math/Metal gods(aside from Tool). Meshuggah are known for their complex, mind numbing time signatures, and their brutal almost …
Bob Dylan - Talkin’ New York (Song)

Alice Cooper is one of the surviving founding fathers of the Heavy Metal genre, and the inventor and CREATOR of on-stage heavy metal Horror! I have been a huge fan of Alice Cooper for countless years and have more or less every album he has released. He is a …
Scars On Broadway - Universe (Song)
Universe is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut record, Scars On Broadway. Universe opens with an electric guitar riff which I would describe as sort of a driving lead which goes nicely into a drum pattern played by Dolmayan before picking up in terms …
Meet Me Halfway Music Video by The Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas used to be one of my favorite groups but they have recently started to annoy me. All of their songs are heavily edited to the point where you wonder if you are actually hearing their true voices. They try way too hard at being “futuristic”, …
30 Seconds to Mars
In my opinion, it is really rare for a celebrity such as an actor/actress or famous athlete to successfully cross over into the music industry. That is why when I found out that Jared Leto’s band 30 Seconds to Mars actually sounds really good, I was seriously impressed. The …
Jack’s Mannequin: The Glass Passenger
Jack’s Mannequin has done it again. Lead singer and pianist Andrew McMahon has delivered another great album for fans everywhere. This album has many strong points and the lyrics create a beautiful picture for listeners.
Track one: Crashin’ has a great guitar/piano intro that blends into the …
Coal Miner’s Daughter
Sissy Spacek is simply incredible as the first lady of country music, Loretta Lynn, in Coal Miner’s Daughter. Her speech and singing were right on. She does do all the singing here, and she’s so good that not everyone realizes that it’s Spacek singing and not Lynn. …
The Velvet Underground - She’s My Best Friend (Song)
She’s My Best Friend is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their record VU. The track starts off with a traditional rock and roll rhythm with Doug Yule coming in with the lead vocals of the track with a decent melody but he seems to sort …
The Beatles - Ticket To Ride (Song)
Ticket To Ride is a song by The Beatles which appears on their album Help. I’ll say right now that among the earlier records by The Beatles, this track is one of the few which stands out to me as being a very well developed song and certainly a …
Akai MPC 2000xl
The Akai MPC 2000xl sampler is one of the best pieces of equipment available on the music production scene. This piece of equipment is used by most of the top producers especially in the rap/hip-hop genre.
I have used this machine now for a couple of years and it has …
James Morrison - Wonderful World - Single
When it comes to music I know when I really like an act or artist because I buy an album pretty much based on one or two songs and then just seem to listen to these songs over and over again.
This was the case with James Morrison. His song …
Metallica - Hit The Lights (Song)
Overview —“ Hit The Lights, the opening track of Metallica’s first record: Kill —˜Em All, is the song which made it on Metal Massacre and really what got Metallica noticed and truly recognized. If this song didn’t end up on Metal Massacre then I’m really not sure if Metallica …
Working Man by Rush
Many know Rush for their over the top progressive music with Geddy Lee on Bass with his crazy bass fills and high voice as well as his synth playing skills and of course Alex Lifeson with his awesome guitar tone and phrasing in many unusual scales as well as …

Green Day - The Static Age (Song)
The Static Age is a track by Green Day which appears on their most recent album, 21st Century Breakdown. The song opens up with an interesting drum rhythm from Cool before Dirnt and Armstrong join in on their respective instruments and play over this drum rhythm. I will admit …
Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
What do you guys think of Back To Black by Amy Winehouse? As for me personally, I think that album by Amy this time round is kind of better. But only if she could change her image for a bit, to make it better or some sort, it …
Radical Something’s album “We Are Nothing”
A new band has recently come onto my radar–Radical Something. They are a three man group composed of rapper Loggy (whose lyrics are meaningful and thought-provoking), singer Josh Cocktail (whose voice is smooth as silk), and producer Big Red (who does a great …
Linda Davis: Shoot for the Moon CD
First off, I want to say that Linda Davis: Shoot for the Moon CD has a great liner jacket. On quality paper, all of the lyrics are printed in a readable fashion, with a decent font and light background. Better still for her fans, when you open …
Luciano Pavarotti - The Greatest Opera Arias
My grandma got this CD as a present for her birthday, and me being a lover of calssic music, got her permission to listen to it a couple of times.
Pavarotti is a genious when it comes to vocals, you can feal the strength of his voice coming out of …
Ke$ha’s New CD-Animal
Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …
Pet Shop Boys (music group)
One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …
When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating
When I first heard the song, When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating before a few years back, I thought ain’t that bad, and I was already guessing it was the voice of Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Don’t know whether they are still around or not. …
David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …
Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All
I can say that everytime I listen to Ronan Keating songs, I feel my emotion is flow with the song. His voice make my feeling so romantic and sometimes is preety much sad. Like the song, ‘when you say nothing at all’, it’s a slow ballad romantic that usually …

Deftones Self-Titled CD
The Deftones are getting a very bad rap for their latest album, the self-titled Deftones. It appears that fans are not privy to the new Deftones style. They are much more electronic and less hardcore heavy metal, and there is no trace of Hip Hop in their style at …
