The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …

This is the second album of Fall Out Boy that I’ve heard. It’s really good, but for some reason I love the first one (From Under the Cork tree) better. I was watching (guess what…) MTV (again! Is anyone seeing a pattern here?) and I saw the music video …

When I first heard this song I almost wrote a letter to Eden’s Edge asking if they wrote this song for me. Every line of this song is parrelel with my experiences. I had never heard of this band before this song. I saw it as one of the …

Garth Brooks does a song called If Tomorrow Never Comes. This is a soft spoken song that talks about all the what if’s, when it comes to the future. It talks about losing loved ones and never telling them how you really feel before they died and not …

A british post-rock band that has amazed fans of this genre in recent years with their energetic and noisy style that really doesn’t hold any resemblance to anything in particular, except that it sounds like post-rock of course. Their latest album One Time For All Time was one of …

This song was released around 1984. There are so many versions of this song nowadays and I think all are equally good. The Irish boy band A1 has their own version of this song but this is originally sang by A-Ha. Each version is a bit different but equally …

Live in Hollywood was made in RBD’s first L.A. (U.S.A) concert in January 2006 (Jan. 21st) in Los Angeles’s famous Pantages Theater. This cd is very cool and fun, because rbd is one of the best musical group that I already have seen. Their musics are impressive because there …

Wake Me Up When September Ends, the final ballad from American Idiot proves that although Green Day may have faltered on previous ballads like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams or Are We The Waiting, they certainly pull it off very nicely in the end. As I have already said, whereas …

In my review of The Shortest Straw, I said it was one of two songs that I would pick if I had to choose individual tracks which represent And Justice For All as a whole, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity would be my second choice. I said that The …

Welcome angelic voice to my melancholy ears. Any Gothic Metal or Symphonic Metal fan is usually in search for this exact concoction. The song, Chasing the Dragon by Epica starts about being one of the sweetest serenades or lullabies ever produced by Epica’s …

Before I review this album, it is important to mention that I don’t typically listen to this style of music. I’m a metalhead and also listen to a lot of gothic music, but every once in a while I’ll end up listening to something completely unexpected and far outside …

This album is the album that allowed The Offspring to enjoy mainstream success, and for good reason! This is easily one of their best albums with some of their best songs. This album and Americana are my absolute favorites from this band. This album has some really classic stuff …

Calling you by Blue October is a beautiful song to me because it is talking about a person who is surprised this other person to pick them to go out with them. This song is also wonderful in the way it is talking about a person who is …
