Music Reviews
Creed- Weathered
This is a very deep CD. Its filled with powerful lyrics and thrashing beats that really get you thinking. I found it to really be a good CD to listen to when I was driving at night and wanted to stay awake, but at the same time wanted to …
Titanic by Original Soundtrack
Although Titanic by Original Soundtrack has been around for a few years now, I still listen to it as of current. The hums and music background are very nice and teary.
There was once I fought with my boyfriend, and due to that, we did not talk for about …
“Take As Needed For Pain” by Eyehategod (LP, 1993)
In 1993, almost exactly a year after releasing their intense, grinding masterpiece debut, “In The Name Of Suffering”, the benchmark album of all Sludge, Eyehategod released their second record, “Take As Needed For Pain”. With this release, they set the standard even higher for Sludge- something that didn’t …
Song : Truthfully by Lisa Loeb
Lisa Loeb, a New York based singer-songwriter is definitely one of those artists who I’ve loved from day one. I’ve always admired the lyrical ability and distinctive voice of the quirky singer who is known for the hit “Stay”. While Lisa Loeb has really only had one song that …

Do Me A Favour is a song by the Arctic Monkeys which appears on their album Favourite Worst Nightmare. The track opens up by a solo drum pattern before the guitar also comes in to create a pretty flowing rhythm. In addition, a rhythm guitar also comes in with …
Eminem - Crack A Bottle (Song)

Beach Boys 20 Good Vibrations The Greatest Hits Volume 1
This audio CD doesn’t have as many songs as some of the other Beach Boys CDs that I own, but twenty songs is still a lot of songs to listen to. I purchased this CD because it contained a handful of songs that weren’t present on my other Beach …
The Doctor by Beenie Man
This is another crappy CD. This is what personally I think. Now, for all those who are not aware, Beenie is actually one of the biggest DJs around in terms of dance music. I would say this album to be pretty good, except for the fact …
Anberlin: Blueprints For The Black Market
This was the first band that I ever started listening to and this was probably the first CD I have ever purchased. I am really glad that I did buy it. It was just a random choice when I bought this CD. I thought the CD cover looked cool …

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb 2004 Album by U2
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a very strong album of songs. I feel a little anxious reviewing it because I predict that most potential readers have heard songs off this album, since it is U2 of course, arguably, the most famous currently active band in the world, …
Soundgarden: Louder Than Love
The sophomore jinx? No, not for this band. Soundgarden’s second album, Louder Than Love is a testament to their domination over pretenders at the time. And one song says it better than any: Big Dumb Sex. The title alone is intriguing enough that it warrants a listen.
There are some …
Weezer - Perfect Situation (Song)
Perfect Situation is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Make Believe. Opening up with a simple guitar line and drum rhythm which both do a good job of building the energy for the track, a more definitive rhythm is established after about twenty seconds into the …
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Overview - Disraeli Gears, Cream’s second album, is a great musical album and has strong vocal performances as well in just about every track on here. I will say that most of the record is more laid back and mellow but they’re are still some great energetic tracks on …

Airplanes Pt. 2 - B.o.B ft. Eminem & Hayley Williams
Great and Inspirational. That are just two words of the very many that I could come up with to describe this fantastic song. This is a second version of the song “Airplanes”. It includes its original artists B.o.B and Hayley Williams of Paramore, but it also includes Eminem, a …
Vybz Kartel deejay
I have been a fan of the popular dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel. This is as a result of a combination of mostly two factors. The first is because of his personality which I guess would include the things he has done to earn himself a crimminal record, and a …
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Overview —“ Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols, the first and only album put out by The Sex Pistols, is an album that I am now just starting to see why is considered so influential and why The Sex Pistols are so highly praised. Before re-listening to …
The Lucksmiths band
A friend of mine who decided that they were going to get me hooked to indie pop music as well, decided that they were going to introduce me to an Australian indie pop band called “The Lucksmiths”. I think that they started their band in the nineteen nineties or …
Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest (song)
“Survival of the Fittest” is Mobb Deeps second hit single from their classic 1995 album “The Infamous”. This right here is classic NYC hip hop at it’s finest. What Mobb Deep lacks in technicality such as flow structures, and finesse they make up 10 fold with gritty realism in …
Bob Dylan - Political World (Song)
Political World is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Oh Mercy. Political World opens up in a somewhat eerie fashion, due to the use of some instruments in the left channel and some in the right. The song then establishes its mood and rhythm as …
Maneater
Maneater by Nelly Furtado is a true song for a lot of chicks now days because they make guys fall in love with them left and right and then they make them do what they want. It kind of sickens me even though I have got guy friends that …
Fergie - All That I Got
I like all the songs from Fergie, its so good to listen and sing, and the most its really represent all my feeling. Like in this song, ‘All That I Got’, everytime I listen to this song, my heart feels so undescrible, happy, full of love, have spirit, fragile, …
Timbaland and Magoo
Timbaland and Magoo is one of the coolest rap groups from the 90s era of rap. They had some really cool beats that were really unique and one of a kind. I really do think that all the lyrics that Timbaland and Magoo used to rap about were really good. …
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, 2000 Album by Oasis
Some people say that Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the first bad album by Oasis, while others say that it is their second bad album. But I disagree with both such statements. I disagree with the description of this album as a bad one. I think that …
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster
The Fame Monster was released as a double CD, with all of the songs from The Fame on disc 1 and the new released songs exclusive to The Fame Monster on disc 2. It can definitely be seen to be a lot darker than the first album, but in …
Taylor Hicks CD
Taylor Hicks’ self titled CD is one of my favorite CDs released in the past five years. The CD has thirteen different songs and at least ten of them are very catchy. Most of them are really good songs; the kind of songs you find yourself singing along …

Part 9 in the “Trapped In The Closet” series picks up right after Part 8. Officer James begins to hear a noise in the kitchen and starts searching around - behind the fridge, under the table - nothing, but he does …
Metallica - Enter Sandman (Song)
Enter Sandman, the opening track of Metallica’s fifth record, is probably the one Metallica song which is the most well-known from either fans or just listeners and probably has one of the most recognizable riffs in metal, ironically written by Hammett and not Hetfield. I don’t want to get …
Scars On Broadway - World Long Gone (Song)
World Long Gone is a song by Scars On Broadway, and I believe the second single released for this record, which appears on their self-titled debut album. One thing I’ll say about World Long Gone right now is that the main riff of the song is probably the best …
Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection by Boyz II Men
Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection by Boyz II Men is worth to buy. And if you have the luxury of loaning it from anyone at all, then do it. Listen to the tracks inside. They are a whole collection of Boyz II Men there that are truly …
According to You Music Video by Orianthi
I had never heard of Orianthi before I saw her music video for “According to You”. Her name intrigued me and I curiously watched the video and downloaded the song. Orianthi is a Australian female recording artist who is very talented at playing the guitar. She used to be …
Sepultura - Mass Hypnosis (song)
“Mass Hypnosis” is the 4th track on Sepultura’s infamous album “Beneath The Remains”. Although this happens to be one of my least favorite songs on this album, it is still pretty dang good. Especially by today’s music standards which is pretty much all rubbish and pish posh in my …
Album : Slayer - Reign In Blood
Looking back i can’t believe just how strong the thrash metal scene was in 1986. I mean not only did Metallica and Megadeth release instant classics but Slayer also got into the mix.
I think they were pretty smart though, because they made sure that they had a different …
The Chainsmokers ft. Phoebe Ryan - All We Know (2016 Song)
I just heard The Chainsmokers’ new song and my initial impression was, “WHAT? This is basically a ripoff of their previous song Closer? How could they be so blatant in self-plagiarism?” I immediately hated it because the first thing that came to my mind in why they became such …
System Of A Down - Psycho (Song)
Psycho is a track by System Of A Down which appears on their second record, Toxicity. The track does a good job of establishing a very dark atmosphere in the beginning of the song due to a hypnotizing simple bass rhythm which is soon accompanied by a characteristic guitar …
Fender AT-3 Guitar Tuner
.I needed something to tune my guitar with since I lost my old tuner. I found this AT-3 for $10 at Guitar Center. It was cheap and looked functional enough for me, so I decided to buy it and give it a shot. Figured I didn’t have much to …
Muse - Sing For Absolution (Song)
Sing For Absolution, a track by Muse is certainly the newest Muse track which I find myself currently hooked on. What I will say right now is that the song has an excellent build up throughout the song and demonstrates a nice blend and balance of a more melodic …
Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
Overview - Houses Of The Holy, Led Zeppelin’s fifth effort, is an album filled with songs that all have something unique about each one of them, a crucial reason as to why I enjoy this album so much. A lot of times bands can put out an album filled …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
Chemicals is a track by Scars On Broadway which is on their self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that although I like the song itself, I’m not a huge fan of the studio version and would certainly recommend a live version over the studio version. Throughout this entire …
Iron Maiden - Purgatory (Song)
Purgatory is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Killers. Purgatory starts off with a quick and aggressive guitar riff in the left channel while a reinforcing rhythm can be heard in the right channel before all of the instruments start to go down the middle …
Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna
This song came out a couple years ago when I actually liked Rihanna. Now, I just can’t stand her music. This song is really upbeat and is a great song to play in a club or at a school dance. I like music that I can have fun dancing …
The Weeknd - The Hills (Remixes) Song
When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …
Cream - As You Said (Song)
As You Said is a song by Cream which appears on their record Wheels Of Fire. Interestingly enough, the song opens up with a string section before a guitar also comes into the mix before the vocals also come in. The vocal melody that Cream has on this song …
Barbra Streisand: One Voice CD
When released, Barbra Streisand: One Voice CD got a lot of attention and for good reason. It’s not everyday that this amazing singer gives a concert. This was back in 1987, before her big concert tours of the 90’s. Barbra gave a concert in her backyard, …

The Flaming Lips - Ode To C.C. Part II (Song)
Ode To C.C. (Part II) is a song by the Flaming Lips and the penultimate track to appear on their sophomore effort, Oh My Gawd. Thankfully, the second part of this track features an actual instrument in comparison to Ode to C.C. (Part I) which was just made up …
Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah part 1: World war 4
Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah part 1: World war 4″ is a classic to me. I state this, because not a lot of people liked this album. With the release of her hit single “Honey” everyone thought the entire album would spawn similar sounding songs. They were wrong. I like …
