Eagles of Death Metal - Eagles Goth (song)
“Eagles Goth” is the 11th track on “Death by Sexy”. “Eagles Goth” is by far the shortest song on the entire album. What it lacks in length however, it makes up for in style.

Taylor Swift’s Love Story Single
I love Taylor Swift’s Love Story single. Yet again, the artist has come up with an original composition. Well, nothing is original in this world anymore. In fact, the singer based her song on a classic love story of Romeo and Juliet. She has no …

Slipknot-Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) CD

Lasers Album- Lupe Fiasco

David Cook
I have mixed feelings about David Cook’s new single. It’s a good single but it sounds like all the other rock-y tunes out there on the main stream. I’m getting kind of tired of the sound. He’s so talented. I know that is his genre of music but I …
Thunder by Boys Like Girls

Metallica - My Apocalypse (Song)

Green Day - Misery (Song)

The Best Damn Thing, studio album by Avril Lavigne
I sat and listened to all of these tracks, all twelve of them. Almost fifty minutes of my life was put into this album just so I could write a review. I could have used these fifty minutes playing some Xbox 360 game, gaining achievement points. In these fifty …
