This collection was released in 2006, the band hasn’t been with Roadrunner Records for a long time, and wasn’t at the time of the release of this collection, it’s a pointless cash in, the record label shamelessly gathered up tracks by Spineshank, Sepultura, Type O Negative, Suffocation and Deicide …

While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …

Eyes Open is a song by Wolfmother which appears on their second album, Cosmic Egg. The track wastes no time in opening up with an interesting guitar pattern and the vocals also join in the mix pretty quickly as well. Throughout the verse, the vocals sound fairly tamed in …

DRESSED TO KILL

Taylor Swift’s popularity just keeps growing.

There is an open, unedited …

I can honestly say I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, and that’s not because I don’t like her it’s just I don’t really fall into her target audience. I prefer to listen to music that caters to my age group and a bit more maturity.
It wasn’t until I was …

This was actually …

Hoobastank’s first album is simply called Hoobastank. It is all upbeat rock music, with clear vocals, not yelling. The lyrics are completely clean. I like that it is just a rock band most of the time, not a synthesized orchestra (although this does happen in a …
