If you like Jazz, then this is a must buy. Rather than getting Billy Holiday or Nina Simone go for something a bit older. Fats Waller was one of the Jazz greats of the 20’s and 30’s and this double compilation CD shows exactly why. Don’t …

213 is a song by Slayer which appears on their album Divine Intervention. The song opens up with a clean guitar playing an extremely eerie riff, although you know that if Slayer has a clean guitar, then the riff is obviously going to have a dark and eerie mood …

The first single off the latest Stone Temple Pilots record released almost a year ago is the first track entitled Between The Lines. It has an upbeat tempo that it starts off the album with. This song starts off with a heavy guitar intro where almost immediately Scott’s …

When I first heard of the heavy metal band “Trivium”, it was somewhere in the region of the year two thousand and five to two thousand and seven when I was listening to an online heavy metal radio station. I loved the song that I heard from the band …

If your looking for a great classic rock one of the cds I recommend is the Boston debut album released in 1976. This album was a collaboration with Tom Scholz as the man who did most of the work like producing the album recording most of the guitars,clavinet,organ, and …

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. …

Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Bringing It All Back Home. Beginning with an outtake of the band recording, the track soon launches into the actual recording of the track which immediately has some differences to Dylan’s songs on the …

Babylon is a song written by Scars On Broadway which appears on the track listing of their debut self-titled record. I will be very simple right now and say that I think this is the most developed track on the entire album and certainly has the best songwriting on …

Money Maker by Ludacris with Pharrell is a nice song that I like listening to and dancing to. It has a good beat to the song and I just love dancing to the song. To most this song is a dirty song and it is but it also can …

“Sucker” is a Peeping Tom off of their album “Peeping Tom”. Peeping Tom is just one of the many associated acts and bands that Mike Patton either formed or contributes to. What made me want to review this particular song “Sucker” is that it quite oddly features the beautiful …

Overview —“ A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Pink Floyd’s eleventh album and first without Roger Waters, tested the band to prove that they could make a good record even with the departure of their bassist, singer, and primary songwriter. I know that I said tested the band, but honestly …

This album is amazing. Even though the two previous Pixies records were really good, this one was even better in some crucial respects. I think that what this album turned out to be is simply unpredictable, if you look at what the previous records were. There must have been …

One More Weekend is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album New Morning. The starts off in a lazy and laid-back fashion with a blues sounding rhythm with Dylan coming in with the vocals. I don’t like the use of background vocals on this track as …

Meshuggah is not a household name. Most people will go through their lives never hearing about an experimental Math/Metal band named Meshuggah. They are from Sweden, and are hailed as the Math/Metal gods(aside from Tool). Meshuggah are known for their complex, mind numbing time signatures, and their brutal almost …

War Zone is a song by Slayer which starts off like most of Slayer’s tracks do: very fast and very heavy. I will say that the double bass in the introduction of this track sounds nice but the guitar part just sort of strikes me as generic and doesn’t …

Rascal Flatts is one of the best country music groups that modern times have seen. They have a clear cut set of values when it comes to the music they record which gives them an awesome reputation along with the a very successful career. I love Rascal Flatts from …

When The Earth Moves Again is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Bark. The track opens up with a mix of violin, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and drums so as you can imagine, right from the start of this track the song has …

While I have listened to many meditation music in the past, I highly recommend Brain Sync - Guided Meditation because of its quality. The good thing is, the CD comes with two versions - one with instructions which you can follow as you go along, and the other one …

If there’s a popstar that I believe could make a hit after hit without tiring the general audience, I will probably say it is Katy Perry. Her presence in the music industry is pretty much felt in the span of almost a decade, (gosh it makes me feel old) …

Machine is Static-X’s second album, released in May of 2001 on Warner Bros Records. The album introduction starts with a sound that makes you think you may have the wrong album, and then picks up big time with Get To The Gone, Permanence, Black And White, This Is Not, …

The first time that I remember hearing any song at all from the music group Icona Pop, was back when those commercials for the company “Shoe Dazzle” were just getting popular. I literally paused what I was doing just to see the shoes, and then found myself Googling the …

I listen to a lot of musical artists that are around my age because they typically sing about subjects that are more relevant to me. Aly & AJ are a pair of sisters that sing together and have made multiple albums together. Insomniatic is one of their albums and …

Taking Chances seemed very appropriate as the album title was taken by Celine Dion. By presenting some old songs and some new songs, which differ with the type of songs that had been sung. Dion to make a change. Since her last album, A New
Day Has Come in 2002, …

Only Of You is a song by Green Day which appears on their debut album, 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. The track opens up with all of the instruments wasting no time and starting up right away with Armstrong’s guitar leading the sound with the traditional power-chord riffs which you …

Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology Of A Saturday) is a song by the Flaming Lips and the fifth track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Taking on a slightly more rock sound than the two preceding tracks on this record, Gingerale Afternoon establishes a pretty catchy …

Years ago when I was still just becoming familiar with the hard rock and metal genres of music, a late friend of mine introduced me to a band called “Lacuna Coil”. I’d heard gothic bands before, but their music style was almost completely different from anything I’d heard at the …

Angel by Shaggy is a beautiful song that I like to listen to a lot. I got introduced to this song from my friend in North Carolina who used to live right across from me. I liked going over to her house a lot when I lived right across …

I never heard of Jessie J before this song. When this song came out, I didn’t really want to check it out since I thought Jessi J was another ordinary chick. But then, I keep on seeing this song pop up on my facebook wall. I was like “Wow. …

You Me At Six have eventually managed to impress me! I actually like their new album. I think I didn’t like their debut album Take Off Your Colours because I did not like Josh’ voice, but his vocals have vastly improved for their new album. The only thing I …

I love this track from Eminem. To some just a good track to listen to, for those who look deeper a real insight into Eminems life and the rap industry.
It goes into detail with regards his feud with Ja Rule that included 50 Cent and Dr Dre. You can …

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 …

Emphasizing the importance of Persian culture in her work, the Iranian-born singer calls her second studio album the word “Shabrang” - that was the name of the black horse belonging to Siyâvash from the book of the Shahnameh kings. Siyâvash symbolizes virtue, honesty and courage - being the son …

A couple of years ago Coldplay was possibly one of the most popular alternative rock bands around the world, but even then I didn’t really like them because I was into much more hardcore music at the time. It took me a couple more years and the decline in …

Tim McGraw has been around country music for a while now and he has made a great success of career and his family all at the same time. He, along with his wife, Faith Hill, have been great at what they do no matter what it is. They shine …

Sweet Home Alabama is a song done by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is one of the songs that most popular when I was a teenager. We used to listen to it the most when we would go roller skating. It is not a bad song but most of …

Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. In the album Roads to the North, Panopticon not only brings in your typical instruments (guitars, drums and vocals) that you find in a rock/metal …

Architecture Of Aggression is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Countdown To Extinction. The track starts off with some drum parts which sort of mimic a machine gun before Mustaine’s rhythm comes into the song along with his vocals. To be honest, his guitar tone sounds …

This is 3 doors down’s first major label album released in 2000 on Universal Records. You could call this album post grunge I guess, there are heavy parts but it’s not really a heavy album. Singles include Kryptonite Loser, and Be Like That. The album is a really interesting …

The other day I went to City Plaza in West Palm beach after I got off the tram. I watched them play at 8 pm when they started performing their upbeat songs like Jumpin Jack Flash, and I can’t get no satisfaction. The band was probably one of the …

I think that the Blade Soundtrack rocks! I bought this a couple years ago when the movie Blade came out. This CD has everything. It has some good rap songs as well as some great club songs and dance songs. I really like the cool dance songs that were played …

I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …

Ed Sheeran, one of the most popular pop star right now, teamed up with Beyonce, another popular singer today, to deliver what might be an apt title for a song: “Perfect Duet”.
Even though the song was released on March 2017, it was solo. This new one is freshen up …

This is an ambitious work from a long-standing fan favorite. When Green Day emerged with silly punk tunes ten years ago, no one would have ever imagined they would rise to such heights. This is an epic work. While it does have songs that are easily …

Good Lovin’ is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Shakedown Street. Good Lovin’ is a cover but I’m sure that The Dead has added their own unique tastes to this song. The track opens up with a very definite rhythm which stays constant throughout …

I haven’t liked much by Chuck Wicks, but this is one of my favorite songs. Songs about fathers always get to me since I lost mine when I was a young teenager. I will never get the chance to experience moments like these with my father, so this song …

I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …

Overview —“ Scars On Broadway, the debut album by the band of the same name, is Daron Malakian’s first release after leaving System Of A Down. After listening to Serj Tankian’s album many people were extremely curious to hear how Malakian would compare, and I was no exception. I …

In 2006 this band emerged from seemingly nowhere, and I’m glad I found out about them because they are a good and interesting band to listen to, upon first hearing them I immediately thought “I’ve heard this before, another band cashing in on the likeness of Tool, another MJK …
