i have nothing but the utmost respect for everything that Ozzy Osbourne has done for the world of rock & heavy metal over the years. But being the godfather of metal doesn’t actually mean that you aren’t judged on each individual thing you do.
For example, i think his …

This album catapulted the band to worldwide fame, but I personally do not find the album all the strong. I think that this album has a very deep discrepancy between the different songs on it. Some of the songs are impressive and deserved to become the hits that they …

James Darren: The Best of James Darren CD starts of with Gidget, which is probably my favorite Darren song because it goes back so far and is from the movie I so loved him in. He played Moondoggie, and in my book, there was only one Moondoggie worth …

Brian Wilson’s Grammy Award winning album “SMiLE” set the bar quite high for the aging Beach Boy. Doubtless, Wilson is past his prime, is somewhat obsolete, and indeed, sometimes sounds quite tired on “SMiLE”’s follow-up album “That Lucky Old Sun”.
“That Lucky Old Sun” takes its title from the titular …

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with German hard rock band Bonfire. Some of their albums i really, really like and others don’t do much for me at all. For me, their whole output between about 1995 and 2007 was all pretty ordinary and most …

Surprise, Surprise is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album The Rolling Stones Now. The track opens up with a rhythm from the drums before the guitars soon join in with somewhat of a blues-rock sounding riff. Jagger comes in with the vocals singing with …

“Seed” is the seventh song on Sublime’s self titled third album. This is a very short song, but what it lacks in length it makes up with talent. It’s amazing just how talented Bradley Nowell truly was and it’s a shame that he was taken away from us at …

“And The Circus Leaves Town” is the final Kyuss album to be released before their breakup. Although the band is now back together again, it no longer has all of the original members, most notably Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri. Both critics and fans alike seem to harbor mixed …

The right kind of music soundtrack is crucial for a particular type of movie and for that, Defiance by James Newton Howard works for me. I listened to the songs inside and I certainly think it matched the concept of the movie, Defiance. On some circumstances, even if …

Unintended is a track by Muse which appears on Showbiz, their first record. I just finished a review for Sober which is another track on that record, and in comparison with that track, Unintended sounds a lot different. Whereas Sober was extremely driving and quite aggressive, Unintended is certainly …

The Appetite Les Paul guitar is an instrument recently made by the gibson factory to honor the guitar that Slash used on almost all his albums with Guns N’ Roses. It wasn’t actually a gibson when Slash recieved his les paul, but a really cool replica of one. …

Drug Machine In Heaven is a song by the Flaming Lips and the opening track on their third release, Telepathic Surgery. Opening with a distorted guitar riff, the drums and bass enter the song to give the overall tone a sound which is similar to several songs the band …

Cry To Me is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Out Of Our Heads. The song opens up with a clean guitar part with a tempo that has a ballad feel to it. Once Jagger comes in with the vocals my suspicion that …

Are We The Waiting is a track which follows in a similar mood as Boulevard Of Broken Dreams as it’s a significantly slower track which has slightly a darker tone to it, although to no real extreme. Ironically this is also the first track on American Idiot which didn’t …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

The Last Drop Of Morning Dew is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate song on their third release, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with an incredibly bland sound, Coyne quickly comes in with the vocal performance of the track which does nothing to help give the track …

Overview —“ Trust, the lead-off song of Megadeth’s seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a video and song that I remember being praised and gaining a lot of airplay on MTV so I’m curious to see if I agree with that opinion. I’ll admit that the albums between Countdown To …

This is a very beautiful record. Its beauty is very fine and well crafted. After you listen to this album for the first time, you might think that this record is not very rich in content, but in that case, you would be wrong, since this music is such …

I came across this song while I was doing some music hunting on youtube. I had never heard of Clay Walker before this song, but now I cannot get enough of him and his music. This song is one of my favorite songs at moment. It is an absolutely …

I was searching for a positive affirmation quotes on the net when I bump on this lyrics. Then I remember from reading the lyrics that I have heard this song playing as the background song for NBA Playoffs. In addition, I was right; it is the official song for …

Ship Of Fools, a song by The Doors which appears on Morrison Hotel, opens up with an interesting rhythm and is then led by Morrison’s vocals on the song. I believe Ship Of Fools is a good example of one of those songs where the music and the vocals …

I love this song so much that I want it played at my wedding. And that’s a pretty huge thing to say about a song. When I first looked at the title, I thought it was going to be about a man saying to another man that he had …

Krayzie Bone is a member of the rap group Bone Thugs N Harmony. I really like his style of rap. He has a very deep and powerful voice. I think he is one of my favorite rappers of all time. I have not heard many rappers that can match …

Sonic Youth is one of the most influential bands in the history of alternative rock music, and the 1992 Dirty is one of their best albums.
One of the biggest assets of this album is its sound. Sonic Youth are veterans of rock now, but back in 1992 they were …

It is ten years ago now since Eminem released his first studio album in the form of The Slim Shady LP. The album was ground breaking in a number of ways, but for me personally it was the first rap album that I ever listened to. Back in 1999 …

Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …

Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a song by the rock art band Pink Floyd. Shine On You Crazy Diamond was written a long time ago, and I came across this song when doing a little music history. I am a rock and roll fan, and I wanted to …

Capital G is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The track opens up with a heavy drum and synthesizer rhythm before Reznor comes in with the vocals of the track which I’ve always liked. Sometime I’ve had a problem with Year Zero …

Fall Be Kind is an EP released by Animal Collective to follow their previous EP release of Water Curses. I will say right now that I think Fall Be Kind is overall a very strong EP, but it does have one fairly large flaw to it which is that …

This guy is awesome. If you don’t remember, he’s the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish. He came out with a country album and it’s amazing, simply amazing. His voice is so on the money; it’s unique and beautiful and rich. I really and truly do not like country …

Crank that soulja boy by soulja boy is a song you can get up and dance to. I really like the dance moves to the song and how the song mentions superman. The music video is really funny and this guy has taste in my opinion. I also like …

I thought myself over and over that I’m surely cursed. That’s because I was not into any of Korean boy-bands, moreover Tvxq that I thought they were good for nothing, but I guess I was wrong and (cursed) because lately I’ve been addicted and listening to their songs every …

When I was much younger, one of my favourite singers was the woman Tina Turner. These days, I still appreciate her and her music, but my appreciation just is not as strong as it was back in the day.
There were several things I had admired about this performer …

Jay-Z
“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …

Rock And Roll is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Led Zeppelin IV. As you should be able to tell from the title, the song has a very rock driven sound and certainly demonstrates Zeppelin playing very pure rock and roll without any unconventional songwriting, …

The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …

‘Take a Bow’ by Rihanna is from her album Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded. This album was first released in the year 2008. Among the songs in this album are the billboard number ones, ‘Disturbia’, ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’ (duet with Maroon 5), and ‘Take A …

After the Success of the band last album this left them with more freedom on Lullabies, they got rid of Nick Oliveri, this is unfortunate but doesn’t slow the band down any, Troy Van Leeuwen of A perfect Circle fame (among many other bands he’s been in), Joey Castillo …

Heart Of Mine is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. The song starts off with a piano part which then leads into Dylan singing some lyrics before the rest of the instrumentation soon comes in. The lyrics focus on Dylan, or the …

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 …

Oh My Gawd is the sophomore effort released by The Flaming Lips which follows their debut album, Hear It Is. Taking a slightly more aggressive sound than most of the tracks on Hear It Is, Oh My Gawd is still an album which covers quite a bit of musical …

Jonny Horton sings the song North To Alaska. I like this song because it talks about something I have always wanted to do. I have thought about moving to Alaska for about twenty years now. I even went so far as to find land for sale in Alaska. I …

This family man, Seal has a very nice, charming and super amazing voice. I highly recommend all music fans out there to go and listen to Soul by Seal. This man truly has soul! And it is not hard to know some part on why Heidi is …

Insane is a track by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record which came out a few years ago. Unlike the previous two tracks, Exploding/Reloading and Stoner-Hate, Insane is much more similar to Funny because it’s very moderately paced and it features Malakian singing in a …

Overview - Death Magnetic, Metallica’s most recent album proves that even though the band was in extreme turmoil during St. Anger they did manage to come out of all of that horrible music and manage to make a record which puts them back on course. Although I will say, …

Everyone - I’m excited to review a new music group that includes Alaina Whitaker, Andrea Young, and Erin James; yup, Alaina is the Alaina from American Idol ! I wouldn’t compare them to the Dixie Chicks; though they have a similar name and numbers in the group. Alaina has …
