Bold As Love is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on their album Axis: Bold As Love. The track is the final song on the album and I’ll say that it’s certainly a good song to end the album off with. The track opens up with …

When I was in high school, I liked listening to Garth Brooks, among others. But, I haven’t really listened to any of his classic songs until recently; when my wife bought me his Ultimate Hits Collection for our anniversary. Now it’s all I listen to.
I haven’t had a chance …

This is the band’s second album, and first major label album released on Roadrunner Records in late January of 2008 and the summer of 2007 in the UK. The album was produced by Bob Marlette. The band is obviously draws much of their inspiration from AC/DC, this isn’t so …

Matt Nathanson’s newest album “Modern Love” is my favorite album of the year. I have never been a hardcore Matt Nathanson fan in the past. While I, like the rest of the Top 40 world, love “Car Crash” and “Come on Get Higher,” as a compilation, his latest album …

You don’t have to be a child of the 80’s to know that there is tons of music out there from this decade that is simply marvelous. Out of the 80’s came a group called Tears for Fears. Much of their music has been sampled in the …

Stuck With Me is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Insomniac. Right from the start, you certainly get hit with that traditional Green Day sound of distorted power chords played in a repetitive structure. I don’t mean for this description to sound unpleasant or anything, …

By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …

Not myself tonight is the first single of Bionic album by American pop star Christina Aguilera. It is an up tempo dance song in electro pop genre. I think this is a great song by Christina Aguilera with music, vocal and electronic vibe. The electronic sound of the song …

If I assess this album now, trying to figure out its worth more objectively, I probably would have a more sober opinion of it. But even after the passage of so many years, I still find it almost impossible to have an analytical, cold view of this album, because …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.
It …

This band has influenced me tremendously as a heavy metal vocalist just starting out. Of course, I have other influences such as the band Arch Enemy which has a female lead singer like me; but there have been many things I have adored about the band Pantera.
If you’ve ever …

If you remember the Hot Fuss, the debut album from The Killers, released in 2004, would you mind addressing the songs from the band, who came from Las Vegas, which affected the New Wave and Britpop, while Brandon Flowers (vocals), sing with a fake English accent, ironically it is …

Burton’s movies, while not perfect adaptations of Batman, did get quite a bit right. Burton did have a solid understanding of the dynamics between characters. It’s true Joker did not really kill Bruce’s parents, but I understand why they set it up that way. While he …

I think The Fixtape by Krayzie Bone is a musical classic. I just heard it today and I think it is great. I had already heard songs like Mary Mary and Sweet Jane on some other mixtapes and those songs were just great. If you have never heard them you …

Naomi is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which appears on their first full length release, On Avery Island. Opening up with a strumming guitar pattern and simple percussive rhythm, Magnum comes in with the vocals for the first verse pretty quickly and I must say that I like …

Avenged Sevenfold is the band Avenged Sevenfold’s 5th album, and is obviously self-titled. It is a great album with very little screaming, and extremely skillful guitar solos. Sadly, some songs on the album, like “A Little Piece of Heaven” are incredibly messed up, and really have no musical value …

I was waiting for you release by Tom Waits for a very long time. And I was very happy when it finally came. I really did not believe that Tom Waits is going to release another album and you can imagine how surprised and pleasantly surprised in the first …

Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased) is a song by Radiohead which appears on their record Hail to The Thief. If memory serves correctly, this is one of the singles released for this album which is slightly surprising to me because I don’t personally feel like it has …

If you want to know where to start listening to Sonic Youth, so that to get right to the heart of the band and understand who they are, there is a trilogy of consecutive albums which would do the job best of all. I mean the albums released in …

If anyone in the United States of America or the United Kingdom hasn’t heard of Kings of Leon by now then you must have been living on another planet for the last 12 months! For those of you that have no idea who Kings of Leon are, they are …

Feel that fire by Dierks Bentley is a song that is beautiful in a lot of ways because it talks about how this guy knows that his girl needs to feel that fire. This song mainly talks about this one girl and what she wants but in my opinion …

Sting is a very famous singer in the world. But in China, most of people don’t know him well or even don’t hear his name. As a Chinese, I heart his name from the film ‘Leon-The Professional’. Sting sang the theme song ’shape of my heart’ about it. I …

Usually, I don’t even bother to watch the music videos for the songs I listen to, but my supervisor from a previous job sent me the music video “You Belong With Me”, by Taylor Swift, thinking I might like it. He was right. The video is so cute and …

I am such a huge fan of country music. I like the fact that it is so natural and free-flowing. Both the lyrics and the music are playful and I can easily relate to them.
A friend of mine first introduced Lady Antebellum to me with their hit single …

If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …

I would like to retract my perhaps harsh previous review of Madonna. I found myself glancing at the top 20 billboard chard for 2008 so far and decided to buy the full album and listen to it in its entirety; I had previously heard quite a bit of it, …

“Green Machine” is the second song on Kyuss album “Blues For The Red Sun”. This critically acclaimed album was released 1992 and single-handedly defined the “stoner rock” and “desert rock” genres. The song itself was written by the bands drummer Brant Bjork and appears as one of two singles …

Overview —“ Sweating Bullets, another single and music video released by Megadeth for their fifth record, Countdown To Extinction, is a song whose lyrics deal with a mental disorder, dissociative identity disorder to be specific.

Produced by Erik Rutan and Cannibal Corpse, released on Metal Blade Records in 2006, this is the band’s 10th album, and first not to feature explicit artwork, they decided to put the artwork intended for the cover on the inside of the album. Unlike most albums by the band …

Mono is a post-rock band from Japan that has amazed the fans of Mogwai Godspeed You! Black Emperor etc with their powerful mixture of guitar cascades and symphonic soundscape beauty. Karelia begins in the lowest possible tempo, but rises slowly to a ravaging sound, not the tiniest bit angry, …

Shadow Of Deth is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record The System Has Failed. The track starts off with this odd opening voice shouting a few words before a pretty slow, yet very heavy, guitar riff comes in to provide a steady rhythm. The voice comes …
