It’s Not Me It’s You by Lily Allen

So What (I’m Still A Rock Star) Pink
When I heard this song, I thought it was a joke. I knew that Pink and her husband Carey Hart were getting a divorce. So when I saw him in the video, I was really shocked. But apparently, the break-up was such that Hart and …
Megadeth - Train Of Consequences (Song)
Train Of Consequences is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track opens up with a heavily palm-muted riff by Mustaine before a very ehavy bass line comes in beneath this. Mustaine comes in with the vocals which certainly has that characteristic snarl of his …
Dimmu Borgir
I am not exactly a huge fan of Dimmu Borgir, but they are a favorite amongst black metal genre fans. I only have a few songs from these which I actually enjoy, but none the less they are AMAZING and EPIC songs for their genre of music and actually …

Myley Cyrus - 7 thing
For a young artist, miley cyrus is pretty talented, she can act and sing. First time I thought that she can’t sing, but after her song, I think its good enough though I don’t like her behaviour, her song is goog enough to listen. Like this one, seven things.
This song …

This is Slipknot’s fourth album and third on Roadrunner Records, this time produced by Rick Rubin, and released in 2003. Slipknot changed their masks again, evolving them even further. Prelude 3.0 is a sort of introduction, the 3 comes from this being the third major release by the band. …

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987 Album by The Cure)
I do not like this album by the Cure, and it is probably not going to be easy to explain why, because one could find numerous reasons to like this album, one could mention various facts and features of this album which make it better and stronger than the …
Green Day - 39/Smooth
Overview —“ 39/Smooth, Green Day’s debut album, introduces the band and showcases their sort of raw and aggressive punk sound. Though I personally find the album is just decent for the most part, the band honestly does show me quite a bit of potential from this album and the …

All that remains is a death metal band and they are not as good as anybody thinks they are. They are a joke and I will tell you why they are a joke.

Green Day - 2000 Light Years Away (Song)

‘Everytime’ by Britney Spears
To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …
Motorhead : Kiss Of Death
If you feel too old to rock music, then leave this kind of music. Please note, the mighty Motorhead Kiss Of Death release that is album from their 31 year existence in the music industry. Looks like Lemmy and his colleagues support extraordinary spirit of playing music. Stay strong …
Phoenix’s album - Amadeus
When I first heard Phoenix’s new songs off of ‘Amadeus’ I found it to be absolutely amazing. My favorite tracks off it would have to be ‘Fences, and 1901′ the most popular tracks indeed. Although I found that after thorough listening, almost every song on the album began to …
Celine Dion: Let’s Talk About Love CD
The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.
Treat Her …
The Bees by Lee Ann Womack
The bees sang by Lee Ann Womack is a wonderful song. I have only heard it a couple of times but it is a really good song. It’s pretty and a country song but a little more upbeat than most country songs. I like singing to it and I …

On Avery Island is an album by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the first LP released by the group. Up at this point in this career, the only music listeners could judge this band by appeared on their EP Everything Is. In comparison to the songs on that EP, …
Iron Maiden - Charlotte The Harlot (Song)

Secret Heart by Curtis Stigers CD
Secret Heart performed by Curtis Stigers is a very good to excellent album performed in a male jazz singer style similar to Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble.

I have been a fan of Troye Sivan since his early days in YouTube! Just a little background for those who are new to him, Troye Sivan is a popular YouTube blogger from Australia, he’s still young and he’s openly gay.
He released his first EP (short for extended play) …
Album: I Am empire - Kings (2011)

A Perfect Circle

Metallica - Don’t Tread On Me (Song)
Don’t Tread On Me, another one of the more aggressive songs from The Black Album, isn’t exactly a song which I enjoy too much, and ironically, James Hetfield supports this. Don’t Tread On Me isn’t a terrible song, but it does sound slightly forced in my opinion and it …
One Direction - Perfect (Song )
Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …
Party People (song by Nelly feat. Fergie)
This song is a nice combination of both singers…Nelly and Fergie.
It starts off basically with Nelly leading the pack while Fergie is the main provider of the Chorus of the song with Nelly bringing up the raer or ending of the chorus. She does an absolutely great job in …

The Grateful Dead - American Beauty

MGMT - Time To Pretend (Song)

Buffet E11 Clarinet
The Buffet E11 Clarinet- The standard-issue clarinet that schools give out (if they can afford better than a Yamaha or Jupiter).
First Impression: My first thought when I saw the E11 was that it had a nice build to it- it looked a lot sleeker than it’s predecessor. I …
Metallica - Kill ‘Em All
Overview - Metallica’s debut album, Kill ‘Em All, is an album that I would consider to be a break through for thrash metal and an extremely innovative album. Despite this, the album is far from perfect and extremely far from what Metallica was truly capable of, as they proved …
Album : Emerald Sun - Regeneration (2011)
As much as i enjoy the occasional power metal album, these days there are so many options available and releases in the genre are so frequent that it’s gotten to the point that an album of this style really needs something special if it’s going to draw me in …
