Overview - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, the debut album by Pink Floyd, is an album that I would categorize as being extremely experimental, layered, complex, psychedelic, and even spacey at times. Surprisingly, the band did not really go for any commercial appeal with this album at …

Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …

Perversions Of Pain is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Diabolus In Musica. The track starts off with a fairly moderate tempo with chords which have a dissonant sound to them before the main riff of the song comes in along with the pounding drum rhythm. …

I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …

Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …

Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …

ALIVE II
Haven’t we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than ‘live’ like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can’t …

Overview —“ Side I of Tommy, The Who’s rock opera, is a track which starts out with probably one of their best songs up to this point but unfortunately goes downhill from there. After listening to Overture, I truly was in awe and I expected a really well written …

Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective. Comprised of ten tracks, three of which being instrumentals, the overall sound of the record can be characterized as experimental, psychedelic, and even fantasy-like. Although the album does have some tracks on it which I personally …

Overview —“ Holy Wars—¦ The Punishment Due, the lead off track of Megadeth’s most acclaimed record, Rust In Peace, is only one of nine examples of why this album is praised to highly. Although not the only reason why this album was so good, but definitely one of the …

This album is fantastic on numerous levels. Probably the most fantastic thing about it is that it was released in 1998. When you listen to this album, it is difficult to believe that. Combinations of rap and rock music were very popular, but not round at that time as …

Skillet’s seventh album “Comatose” brings out all the things I love about this band. Their deep and meaningful lyrics and incredible sound and music style that’s all their own. “Rebirthing” is the perfect mix of everything Skillet. The melodious string arrangement. The edgy rock sound …

Meet Your Master is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The track opens up with a very heavy synthesizer rhythm which certainly gives the song a definite electronic feel. Another synthesizer soon joins in which provides a lead for the song, if …

‘Family Affairs’ is my favorite song from Mary j Blidge. I still remember that I bought the cassete about in 2000 but I still play that song until now. For me, Its not sounds like an old song, even its sounds always new to me.
We all know that Mary …

Ridin dirty by chamillionaire on the sound of revenge is my favorite rap song that talks about drugs. It talks about how this one guy gets pulled over by the cops so much because they are trying to catch him ridin dirty. It also talks about his car …

Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …

Cold Dark World is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The Red Album. Like some of the other songs on The Red Album, this track doesn’t feature Rivers Cuomo singing lead, so it doesn’t exactly have the characteristic power pop sound which …

It seems to me that the rock song ‘You Belong to the City’ that became popular in the mid 80’s (1985, to be exact) tries to tell something and not just merely describing in a reflective way by using some sort of a second person address (like talking …

If you are a jazz-lover and you love the vintage songs of George Gershwin, you should purchase this CD.

Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …

I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …

Aria electric guitars are exceptionally good. Considering their cheap prices as compared to Ibanez or Gibson, it comes as a surprise that Aria guitars are quite professional.Recently i purchased an Aria electric guitar (STG 004) for less than 200$. It has 2 single-coil pick-ups and one humbugging pick-up.

Philly-based Diplo and UK’s Switch have finally come together in the long awaited duo - Major Lazer on their new album, “Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do.” The album boasts some original reggae cuts and original effects. Like any album should, this one has your normal set of diversity, …

Escape, one of the later tracks on Ride The Lightning, is a track that I’ll admit sounds forced and written for the radio in my opinion. Supposedly the story is that the record company wanted Metallica to write a track like Escape, due to …

Overview - Powerslave, Iron Maiden’s fifth effort, continues with the same energy and intensity the group showed on their previous effort, Piece Of Mind. However, it also demonstrates that the songwriting of Steve Harris is maturing even further, particularly on the last two tracks. While Piece Of Mind contained …

There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …

Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

Little Ghost is a song by The White Stripes which appears on their album Get Behind Me Satan. The track opens up with a simple rhythm which features some outside instrumentation and also has the vocals join in the track pretty much immediately as well. What I like immediately …

This is my favorite song and the best rap and hip hop sounds I have to listen. I love the rap, the supreme melody and how the lyrics are arranged. I love how the song flows, the fast beat, the majority of sounds are coming from drums and piano. …

Overview - Blood On The Tracks, Bob Dylan’s fifteenth effort, is a much better record than the past few records Dylan had put out at that time. The majority of the lyrics on this record are done from a storytelling point of view which Dylan proves he is still …

Before I review this album, it is important to mention that I don’t typically listen to this style of music. I’m a metalhead and also listen to a lot of gothic music, but every once in a while I’ll end up listening to something completely unexpected and far outside …

Start Wearing Purple is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their debut record Voi-La Intruder. I should mention immediately that this track was re-recorded by the band on a later record, but I’m reviewing the version that appears on their debut record. Opening up with an accordion …
