Drunken Lullabies is the title track of an album by Flogging Molly. The track starts off with an Irish sounding riff which is very characteristic of the band. The track soon really gets going with more instrumentation joining in to double up on this riff and give the song …

Unfortunately the excellent Neuropa album “The Blitz”, with its (admittedly fairly obvious) World War 2 type plane design on the front, is not easily obtainable in physical form in the United Kingdom, although it is offered by Amazon in individual track form as MP3 downloads. This is rather a …

Come On Christmas is a track by the neo-psychedelic rock band hailing from New York, MGMT. This song comes from their first record back before they were on a major label entitled Climbing To New Lows. Opening up with a heavy synthesizer, the track immediately has a recognizable sound …

Long time, no see. The boys from sweden show their work once more.
This is an album wich many of the new listeners will find attractive, though old ones will find rather dissapointing. It´s more cliché than ever, leaves you with a feeling you have listened to the whole album …

Going To Georgia is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the penultimate track on their second release, The Hill Sheep. Before I begin, I should add that this is a cover of a band called Mountain Goats, so I unfortunately cannot comment too much on the songwriting …

When Yer Twenty Two is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate track to appear on their sixth studio release, Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. What I like right from the start of this track is that both the bass and drums are given a chance to …

Maxwell’s first 1996 album “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite”, is one of my most favorite albums ever. The album exemplifies Maxwell’s soulful and unique voice. I remember when I went into the music store a while back, the manager in the store recommended that I should try …

Last Sunday afternoon, I was trying to create my heroine’s character for yet another sappy romance novel I am yet to submit to my editor. The house was so quiet so I decided to open the media player on my laptop and a random song played from my song …

The Postal Service is an almost legendary band in the indie rock scene. A collaborative project by Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, it is an electronic indie rock band whose one and only album was released back in 2003. Give Up was …

I did not really know much about Meg & Dia until I heard one of their songs while on MySpace. That is where they became popular initially. They won the MySpace band award for Warped a few years back. Meg & Dia are two sisters who released two albums …

Flyleaf is an American rock band and I first heard their song “I’m so sick” on a local radio station here. It starts off with a heavy guitar intro before the lead singer begins to sing the song is a sweet voice before turning into a typical rock band …

I absolutely love the song called Brothers which is part of the movie, “Next of Kin” that starred Patrick Swayze, Liam Neeson, and Bill Paxton. The three play brothers who have some conflict between them in the choices they have made, but who are never the less devoted …

When your gone by Avril Lavinge is a song about how a girl misses her boyfriend when he is gone. To me it is saying he is leaving and she is missing him a lot because the room they share has his side of the bed made up. It …

Deer Dance is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second album, Toxicity. The track opens up with an extremely heavy rhythm from Malakian’s guitar and the drums and bass further add to this heavy riff. The track then goes into this sort of sliding …

Ciara ft. Ludacris
“Oh”
Goodies
LaFace Records
Director: The Fat Cats
Ciara’s “Oh” is the third single and music video from the “Goodies” album, following “Goodies” and “1, 2 Step”, the Fat Cats direct this time around. Ciara is sitting with little Ciara as she watches a video player which, upon zooming in, shows …

Even though I live in a country far from America, I still admit that I am a really big country music fan. I know it’s kind of the “folk” song local to the United States, but there’s something about country music that I really love. I don’t know if …

Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern along with some rhythm instrumentation, the track interestingly enough sounds as if there’s a Spanish guitar style present which isn’t typically a …

In early 2007, there was news that Coldplay will release an album that will be different from the three previous albums. I was afraid, that this experiment will be a problem for Coldplay, who has become the leading band. However, after hearing that there are 10 songs on the …

Korn’s 7th album and first album on Virgin Records, the album was released in late 2005 taking a leap away from Nu Metal and into Industrial, the album title is a statement to fans who can understand the band going through a change, and for those that want to …

Back in 1996, In Flames released ‘The Jester Race’, their most influential album to date, through Nuclear Blast. One year earlier, the two other highlights of the Swedish metal scene, namely At the Gates and Dark Tranquility, came up with their respective ‘Slaughter of the Soul’ and ‘The Gallery’ …

Overview —“ No Remorse, one of the later tracks on Kill —˜Em All, is yet another one of Metallica’s excellent examples of a track which was influential to the development of thrash metal. In fact, you could argue that pretty much of all the tracks which are on Kill …

As a singer, I’m not very fond of Alicia Keys. I think her voice sounds really weird and it is just not that pretty sounding. But I have to give her some credit because at least her voice sounds natural and doesn’t have any crazy sound effects on it. …

The Vandoren M15 mouthpiece is a mouthpiece released by Vandoren that is to follow the RV Lire. It has a slightly different shape and it uses different wood.
Likes: One thing that I like about this mouthpiece is the design of it’s shape. It fits easily into your mouth- something …

I heard this song while I was on the beach one night, and some really good firedancers were singing to this tune! The song is titled Fire Burning On The Dance Floor, and what better song to use than this one when the group perfoming are firedancers! This is …

So, I was transitioning moving from one house into another. As I was packing the things from my room into boxes preparing for the move, I stumbled across one of the few original CDs I have ever bought: “Country Grammar” by Nelly. This is one of my favourite albums …

The Ceiling Is Bendin’ is a song by the Flaming Lips and the sixth song on their album Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a drum and bass part which fades in and out repeatedly, Coyne comes in with the vocals of the track which thankfully has some character …

DRESSED TO KILL
I give this one extra point for the classic album cover with KISS decked out in three piece suits.
KISS’ third album was another poor seller when first released and at this point, it seemed that KISS was never going to have any success recording in studio.
The only …

I am a music lover. I love different types of music and I also love to play the guitar and piano. As I have said, I just love music. I do not have a music preference. I have music favorites which are slow, others are fast and some are …

Sugar is a track which appears on System Of A Down’s self-titled debut record. I believe that among the songs on that first record, Sugar is probably the most well known, along with War, because of the music videos made for them. Sugar certainly demonstrates System Of A Down …

From the minds of R. Adams and L. Kusik, Everything But Love is a song performed by Patty Duke back in the sixties. It’s one of my favorite songs of hers, one I still enjoy today. In my opinion, this is a song that is still relevant …

Overview - Ride The Lightning is Metallica’s second album, after their groundbreaking thrash album Kill ‘Em All. While Kill ‘Em All was pure thrash metal from front to back in just a constant assault, Ride The Lightning expands on this form of music while incorporating melodic aspects to it …

This is a great record. Interpol is a very talented band, and I personally believe that this is their best record. The debut album sounded rather messy, whereas the albums that were released after this one have rather lazy song-writing. Whereas the 2004 Antics is a fantastic record with …

Insane Clown Posse are on of my current favorite bands, and one of the only bands I like that are �new age� in their sound, that being Horrorcore, a sub-genre of Hip-Hop. They have memorable songs left, right and center and are simply indescribable, they jump genre with most …

All Alone is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their record Demon Days. The song opens up with an interesting electronic rhythm which is then accompanied by a vocal section which sings a repetitive chant of “all alone”. Throughout this section of the track the overall mood …

Danse Manatee is the second record released by Animal Collective. Following Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished, the best way I can summarize this album is that it actually seems to be a decline and a step down in songwriting unfortunately. Though Danse Manatee does certainly have its moments …

I listen to nearly all genres of music, but I do not have any particular artist or bands that I like. I just listen to what is pleasing to my ears. One of the songs that I have been hearing a lot for the past couple of weeks is …

As a longtime fan of progressive/experimental music, I often gravitate towards sound patterns that seem to buck the norm, and stand out as truly not heard in mainstream music. Closure in Moscow usually does a pretty decent job of creating songs that sound as though they were never meant …

First and foremost, I have to admit that I have not listened to this CD as much as I have the previous two. It is not because it’s bad. It’s just not my taste in music.
I will say that the music does match the much darker tone …

Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …

Irchirin no hana is a Japanese song with a dark heavy metal beat to it. I, as a American, find this song fascinating. Never before have I heard such a dark melody of love played out in this strange fashion. Written by High and MIGHTY COLORS, This strange …

Goodies by Ciara featuring Petey Pablo is a song I like a lot because it makes me want to dance and it also talks about it is hard for a guy to get the goodies from a girl because some of us are not going to give it up …

Whatever you like by T.I. is a song that seems like a fantasy to me. What guy would actually give a girl whatever she likes even if he was rich. There are some but not many. The music video for this song is a little weird because it starts …

Back Pack is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears as the fourth track on their record Knife Man. Opening up with a brooding rhythm guitar, the vocals come in soon enough and I would characterize this song as having more of a ballad feeling. Although the previous …

Overview —“ Hypnotize, the second half of System Of A Down’s double album release Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is a good album to pick off where Mezmerize left off and continue in a similar style, feel, and sound as the aforementioned album. I’m not positive but I believe that both were completed …

The tracks on this CD are some of the best works of Celine Dion’s career. This is the best collection of songs ever put together on any CD. From the ever powerful “It’s all coming back to me now” that is literally thunderous, to the title track “Falling into …

“Thunder” by Boys Like Girls had been a hit maker for a couple of months already. Though I didn’t like the beat so much, it appealed to me through its lyrics and the choice of words they made. My sister was also into this song. However, playing it over …

See now this is Death Metal done right! The drumming is MAD technical, experimental, Jazzy and progressive while still keeping touches of traditional Death Metal(which satisfies those easy to please Death Metal purists). Truly amazing drumming that any drummer would appreciate! There is enough obscure and original drumming on …

West L.A. Fadeaway is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on one of their later records, In The Dark. I will admit that after the first few Grateful Dead records, I didn’t particularly like too much of their music towards the very end of their career as …

Boombox by Kylie Minogue is a good remix type of CD that I love to put on each time I feel like dancing in my room or just exercising on my treadmill. The songs featured in Boombox is like a bonus or a wrapped gift to me. I …

Be Quick Or Be Dead is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Fear Of The Dark. Be Quick Or Be Dead starts off with a brief drum section before the guitars and bass come in with a pretty quick and aggressive riff to start the …
