Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective.

The Future Sex/Love Sounds Album of pop idol Justin Timberlake, or JT for short, is to me simply the best he’s had in the music industry. This was JT’s second album, released in 2006.

I’ve played a lot of guitars in my day and nothing has ever come close to the handling and playability I get from my trusty Fender Strat. My parents bought it for me when I was 15 years old through a family friend.
One of the nicest features to …

Justin Bieber. You love him. You despise him. You are in the middle. Regardless everyone has their own distinct opinion of Justin Bieber. If any song is going to convince Bieber haters to see a positive side of the singer it’s his inspirational song “Pray.” Or it will just …

Sexy Can I by Ray J and Yung Berg is a cool song that you can play all day and just chill ton the beat. One day I listened to this song for three hours straight and I still wanted to hear it again. There are a few cuss …

Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony.

Overview —“ Nimrod, Green Day’s fifth album is an album which I personally feel takes them backwards rather than forwards. I’ll say that I thought both Dookie and Insomniac were very good albums with very little filler on them, this album is a bit different. To be fair, there’s …

I have always been the kind of person who admires music. Not only is it an art, it finds a way into your soul. Music is able to be related to and in the moment when you find a certain song, you feel like you are no longer alone …

It was probably back in 2000 or 2001 that I first saw the Black Eyed Peas on VH1. It was a video where they were all getting blown onto this glass or plastic and the camera was behind it. So it lucked like they were in some kind of …

The Suburbs is Arcade Fire’s third studio album, released in 2010, and probably my favourite out of all three of their albums. It’s been three years since their last release, and this album has been highly anticipated by all of Arcade Fire’s fans. The wait, in my opinion, is …

Overview - A Saucerful Of Secrets, Pink Floyd’s second effort, basically abandons the extremely psychedelic, experimental, and chaotic tone that made their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, what it was. Although the band still does have some experimental parts, and creative at that, the mood …

I think this is one of the best cds they have out. It had a combination of different mood songs. “This Love” is basically a bittersweet love song. I can’t stop thinking about this song. “Popular” is a good club song. It’s catchy, has …

The first band, House of Heroes, played a very short set (only 4 songs) and didn’t seem to catch the crowd’s attention very well. They had an energetic show, just not a lot of stage presence. I had done my homework and learned the words to some of the …

Broken, Beat, and Scarred, the third track off of Death Magnetic continues the pattern of songs which sound a lot closer to tracks which Metallica were writing during their earlier days, the 1980s and very early 1990s. Broken, Beat, and Scarred has somewhat of an eastern sound to it …

I am a rather big Oasis fan, but I simply do not consider this album to be that great. This album appears on various lists of the Best Albums Ever, but I think that this record deserves only a grade of about seven out of ten. I think that …

“Quick and to the Pointless” is the seventh track off of Queens of the Stone Age album “Rated R”. The song is incredibly short and in a sense kind of lives up to it’s title. By no means is this song even close to being a single off of …

I discovered Megadeth only a couple years ago when I still had access to the cable television channel Fuse and the television shows Slave to the Metal and Uranium were hosted by a woman who called herself Metal Mistress Juliya. The thing about both of these shows were …

As I was still browsing through my dad’s old records, I also found, amongst my discovery, Diana Ross (1976) by Diana Ross. I checked the value of this CD now, and I was amazed at the $149 price tag. True blue royal record.
I bet the price befits …
