Kenny Chesney sings this song called You Save Me. It is about how his wife or girl friend saves him from getting into more and more trouble. It kinds of relates to the old saying that behind every good man there is a great woman somewhere pushing him along …

Overview - Side I of The White Album, The Beatles’ ninth effort, is a very nice mix of McCartney and Lennon compositions, even one by Harrison which covers a lot of different ground as far as feel, lyrics, vocals, and music. While McCartney’s songs are a bit more on …

Obviously, I’m a huge Celine Dion fan, otherwise, I wouldn’t own this album, which effectively chronicles the artists hit songs for an entire decade. But more than that, I just love to listen to all the songs in this album, since Dion always sings in a heartfelt manner.
She …

Cute Machines is a track by Scars On Broadway which shows up on the band’s self-titled debut record. I’ll be honest and say that even from my first listen to the record, Cute Machines was always my least favorite track as I just don’t think it’s very well developed. …

Addict is a song by Slayer which starts off with a clean guitar playing an eerie sounding riff along with a simple drum pattern. This eerie atmosphere is nothing all that special but I like that it’s something different than Slayer’s typical just extremely fast and heavy tone, which …

I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …

I have been a fan of Troye Sivan since his early days in YouTube! Just a little background for those who are new to him, Troye Sivan is a popular YouTube blogger from Australia, he’s still young and he’s openly gay.
He released his first EP (short for extended play) …

3005 is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record. Along with Babylon, I would consider this to be one my favorite tracks on the album and I love how Malakian went with quite a different style on this track compared to the rest …

I do not like listenning to a lot of modern day reggae music, and so since I generally do no follow this genre, I have no idea how long the reggae artiste “Khago” has been around. In fact, I only became aware of him recently when his song “Nah …

I personally do not like this album. Some of the songs on this album were commercially successful, even though I think that this album is quite boring and dull.
This album is rather long. The previous Cure album, Disintegration, was very good. Disintegration is also a very long album, but …

White 2 is the fourth album from drone metal pioneers Sunn O))) and most probably their most ambient based work.
In contrast to White 1 which had a lot of spoken dialogue and discernible riffs, White 2 steers clear of this in preference to long sustained crescendos with next to …

Someone Is Waiting is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the third track to appear on their debut release, On Avery Island. Picking up immediately where the previous track, You’ve Passed, left on, the vocal performance of Jeff Magnum abandons the Lou Reed-like sound which I seemed …

I love avril Lavigne so much since she came up first time with the single complicated and skater boy in her first album let go, so do in the second album under my skin. Her songs feels so rock.
But in the third album the best damn thing, I feel …

I have been waiting for this CD for a very long time and when my wait was finally over I went out and bought it at a special discounted price of $9.99. I have been a fan of this band for years and this CD is proof of why …

Years ago, someone introduced me to the wonderful works of Erich Kunzel, director of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. He’s really quite good. Then the opportunity came along to enjoy Kunzel’s work along with a huge favorite of mine, Star Trek. With a spoken and dramatic introduction …

Sum 41 is a fairly good Canadian Punk Rock band and this is their first album, and for a first album it’s actually fairly good in my opinion with some really good and memorable songs. I am not a hardcore fan of this band like I am some other …

Exile is a song by Slayer which starts out in an extremely heavy fashion, as most Slayer songs do, before Araya comes in with the vocals of the track. Now typically I like Slayer a bit and think they’re a good metal band but the sound on Exile is …

Achtung Baby is my second favorite album by U2 after the 1997 album called Pop. Many critics praise this album. And I do agree with them. Many fans of U2 think that this album is of their best, and they are right. Music, can it be assessed objectively, should …

Graze is a song by Animal Collective and is the opening track to their EP Fall Be Kind. Opening up with a classical music-like tone, Tare soon enters the mix with his vocal performance which is the focal point of the track in my opinion. Aside from some steady …

Bleeding Me, a track by Metallica for Load, is certainly one of the best songs on either Load or Reload and even one of the best throughout Metallica’s entire career. I will admit that although the majority of both Load and Reload were filled with complete garbage, both albums …

This band made waves when they released a great remake of the Lynnard Skinnard song “Simple Man.” “Burning Bright” and “45″ were the other singles released to radio that were every bit as well-received as “Simple Man.” And while these songs are easily the best songs on …

‘I’ve Seen It All’ is a song interpreted by Bjork in duet with Thom Yorke and is part of the musical ‘Dancer in the Dark’, directed by Lars von Trier. I must admit I liked the whole movie but the song has touched my heart more than anything …

An excellent choice for any beginner banjo player . The low profile neck satin finish and rock maple rim make this banjo a keeper . I began on a cheap Asian banjo , that offered a very hollow sound similar to playing in a a cave , for …

Goodies

Newcomer R&B female singer Ciara blows it up with her first single and music video, “Goodies”, an interesting combination of crunk and R&B. The song refers to virginity and female empowerment. The female refuses to be an object as a complex beat booms …

I have a cousin who’s crazy and madly deeply in love with High School Musical. He would buy everything and anything he can get his hands on that have High School Musical in it. One time he got himself a copy of K-zone magazine that’s featuring HSM at that …

I discovered the folk metal band Eluveitie who are from Switzerland when one of their songs was playing on a heavy metal radio station used to listen to a lot some years ago. At the time, it was my first encounter with folk metal, and I liked what I …

Almost all the songs in We Sing, We Dance. We Steal Things by Jason Mraz are amongst my listening taste buds. Jason Mraz is a synonym name to talent in my world of music dictionary. And of course the ever so popular track I’m Yours is included inside. …

Toxicity is the title track of a record by System Of A Down. Toxicity starts off in a very melodic way with Malakian’s guitar work which the band comes back to periodically throughout the song, but for the rest of the song, it’s quite an aggressive track. I also …

Overview —“ Paranoid, the second album released by Black Sabbath expands on the direction they introduced with their debut album and they somehow take that infamous dark sound and make it even better. Personally I thought that the debut album was extremely strong and innovative but Paranoid took this …

Trivium come back to their roots of pure metal and take a step away from the experimental The Crusade, with the help of producer Nick Raskulinecz they cut the frills on this album and do a good job keeping it heavy, this album is more aggressive than Ascendancy and …

Initially it would not catch me listening to this kind of music, but this wonderful singer left me with no other choice but making an exception. The first time I heard her voice I thought that I was in the dream, I caught myself day dreaming and losing all …

I have known few albums that grow on you so organically like Adele’s album, 21. I was not a fan before and I have never heard her previous work( which is my loss).I was really surprised. I am used to hearing her first single “rolling in the deep” everywhere. …

No One Else is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The Blue Album. Opening up with a fast guitar riff, Rivers Cuomo comes in with the vocal melody nearly immediately and I must say that if this is your first time …

Wish You Were Here, the title track of Pink Floyd’s record Wish You Were Here is an example of one of the best songs I believe that Pink Floyd has written throughout their entire career. Wish You Were Here is driven primarily simply by vocals and an acoustic guitar, …

Seeing the name of Guy Sigsworth as a producer of Alanis Morissette album, titled Flavors Of Entanglement, I had felt worried. Alanis will lose in style, remember that Guy has been working on albums for artists such as Björk, Madonna or Britney Spears. But after hearing the 11 tracks …

Overview - Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel, the seventh album by The Grateful Dead, is an album that’s a lot more upbeat and energetic than their past three efforts: Wake Of The Flood, American Beauty, and Workingman’s Dead. On Wake Of The Flood, you could tell that the …

Criminal is a song by Eminem which is the finishing track for his record The Marshal Mathers LP. The song opens up with a spoken word section from Eminem which is nothing impressive in itself, but I will say is a clever segue and fluid transition into the bulk …

Twenty years ago it was almost impossible for Christian teens to listen to the music styles they loved without having to put up with dirty or depressing lyrics. Finally (and I’m glad they did) someone said, “Why not put together some great pop and easy listening bands with a …

We like country music and we like to go to live concerts whenever we can. We saw Faith Hill perform around three years ago at the MCI Center in Washington, DC. We don’t mind traveling to Washington, because it is only around forty five minutes from Baltimore. …

I so love the song All Mixed Up by 311. Even though this is a song featured years back, I just could not forget the whole hype surrounding this song.
Truly awesome and I love the lyrics as well. Even though it laced at nothingness, the song …

Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …
