Status Quo - You’re In The Army Now - Single

Album : John Waite - Rough & Tumble (2011)
As much as i respect John Waite and legacy he has left behind me so far, he isn’t one of my all-time favorites which means i can be properly subjective about his newly released album.
The short version of this is that i class it as a total disappointment, …
Green Day - American Idiot
Overview —“ American Idiot, Green Day’s seventh effort, is what I would consider their greatest work in their career. The songwriting on this album is amazing, especially compared to their previous work, Warning. Whereas Warning seemed to lack energy in most of the songs and was also just a …
Green Day-American Idiot CD
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 …

Brian Wilson - That Lucky Old Sun
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 …
Slipknot, 1999 Album by Slipknot

October 1981 Music Album by U2
And just what were U2 thinking when they were recording, and subsequently, releasing this album? It is one of the mysteries I have always been puzzled by. I am a huge U2 fan. Probably, currently not as big of a fan as I was in the past, in my …

Mastodon Leviathan CD
American Metal heads Mastodon have created a style that is all their own.

Album : Cirith Ungol - One Foot In Hell
