From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

I think that this is not a very good full length album for a band like Modest Mouse. I remember how I first started listening to it after I listened to their first full length album, and I did not enjoy this record at all. It was because I …

This fantastic CD, the first release by the band Slow Runner features great musical ballads that will keep you singing well into
the night. Michael Flynn, the bands lead singer previously released the exact same album under his name, this re-release under the bands new name Slow Runner is all …

Thought I Knew is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, specifically The Red Album. What’s interesting about Thought I Knew is that it actually isn’t sung by Cuomo which is quite rare to hear in a Weezer song, although I believe there a few songs …

Back in the nineteen nineties when I was a child, Anita Baker’s songs would play a lot on the radio. Since they would play so often, I ended up disliking her music then, and also thinking of it as being boring. However, it has only been recently since I …

This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …

I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …

‘Abbey Road’ was the final great Beatles album, and was actually an album quite light in tone, and one which gave little indication of the forthcoming break-up of the world’s greatest-ever rock and pop group - especially with an opening rocker entitled ‘Come Together’. John Lennon, well into the …

Octopus’s Garden is a song by The Beatles which appears on one of their final records, Abbey Road. As you can tell from the title, the track may not come off as the most serious of tracks and it certainly isn’t but you’ll be able to tell this from …

Exile is a song by Slayer which starts out in an extremely heavy fashion, as most Slayer songs do, before Araya comes in with the vocals of the track. Now typically I like Slayer a bit and think they’re a good metal band but the sound on Exile is …

Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …

After The Cranberries disbanded in 2002 the bandmembers went back to being with their families, and it took a while until some of them showed any sign of life. Dolores O’Riordan kept a low-profile for several years, she appeared here and there, did some collaborations until she decided to …

The song “I just came back from a war” is sung by Darrell Worley. It is about a soldier trying to catch up on old times with a group of friends and how he has changed sinse comeing back from a war where he was not appreciated. This song …

I do really love the music of Geoff Bullock II particularly his album “The Power of Your Love.” Listening to the album “Power of Your Love” will give you a one of a kind worship experience. The album is full of awesome and soul-reviving worship songs which include the …

I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …

Well, I think that this album is good, but not as good as other BRMC albums, like their first record, “Take Them On, On Your Own”, and, of course, “Howl”, the latter, from my point of view, being their very best album.
To appreciate and assess this album (Baby 81), …

I was really impressed with this two-man band - or should I say, the one man, one woman band. HoneyHoney is comprised of two members and two members only (with the exception of an additional musician or so on stage i.e. a drummer). For some reason, usually …

I am not a fan of Elton John. This doesn’t mean that I don’t acknowledge he’s a very talented singer because he is. I certainly have sung along to numerous hits of his over the years. He’s just a little too over the top for me, …

In March of 2010, Dreamworks released How to Train Your Dragon; a film about a boy named hiccup on a viking island where killing the dragons which raid the city is almost everything. Hiccup, however, is no ordinary boy and, unlike everybody else, is not strong and does have …

No Sunlight is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their album Narrow Stairs. The track opens up with bass, guitar, and drums exchanging in an interesting enough rhythm before a piano also joins in with a subtle but incredibly helpful line. The vocals soon join …

Britney’s comeback is truly what ‘Circus’ is all about. The song tells about her being a showbiz entertainer. She knows her place. She knows what she wants on stage and off cam. Well, I hope she’s better be good now after a lot of hard beats the people had …

That Was Just Your Life, the opening track to Metallica’s latest record Death Magnetic, certainly has a feel and an energy that I don’t believe the band has had since 1991, the days of The Black Album. I’ll admit that when I first heard this album, this track honestly …

Cotton Eye Joe was a popular dance track in the 1990’s by the band called The Rednex, which as their name suggests, they take upon the gimmick of that of a redneck. Country music, hillbilly blues and some classic techno dance beats! What more can a music fan ask …

Old Flame is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their self-titled EP record. Opening up with an instrumental intro which centers around a guitar’s rhythm, the vocals enter the mix with a delivery that sounds characteristic to the typical vocal sound Arcade Fire would later develop and …

Guy’s Eyes is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their 2009 record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with a somewhat confusing sound, I personally find the several layers of vocals to actually sound confusing at the start of this track rather than creating a whole and harmonious …

Overview —“ 1,000 Hours, an EP released by Green Day and also their first release in their entire career was pretty interesting to listen to. Now personally I’m a lot more accustomed to more recent Green Day work, or even work in the middle of their career, so going …

Krs-One is a song by Sublime and the twentieth song on their first release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening with an acoustic guitar pattern, Nowell comes in with the vocals of the track and sings with a tone that actually sounds significantly different than any of his other deliveries …

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 …

I love soulful songs. Songs about love, heartbreak or fun given with passion always drew me in . I also love an old school flavour in my music. I was told i have an old soul because of it. This album by Cee Lo is an fulfils both sides …

In The End is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Dookie. The track starts off with a pretty quick riff along with each of the instruments as well as Armstrong’s vocals starting simultaneously. The song has that characteristic punk sound of the band led by …

I like the song “tonight” by FM Static so much because I can feel it on my own life. It tells a story about longing for a lost love–for love stolen by tragedy. It is sad and made me feel how much it would hurt to lose someone so …

Progressive rock is really one of the most diverse sub genres of rock, and easily among my favorites. The way that progressive rock seems always toy with time signatures and ambient sounds keeps the music fresh for me, even when listening to songs that I have heard hundreds of …

Infinite Dreams is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. The track starts off in a melodic fashion being led by a guitar solo before leading into the verse of the track. Although the track is pretty laid-back during the …

One of my guilty pleasures is listening to dance music rave, euro-dance and euro-pop from the nineteen nineties. I guess it’s a little strange judging from my personality and my other likes and dislikes, but I believe it stems from me hearing it so much, and liking the dance …

It’s been a while, but Linkin Park, arguably the most popular rock/rap crossover group is back with a new record. It’s just been released today and I’ve got quite a bit to say about this one so let’s get into it. It seems almost necessary to address the whole …

This was the record that introduced me to Cypress Hill, and I liked it a lot back when I started listening to it, and I still think that it is a very good record. In actual fact, even now, when I have heard all the Cypress Hill records, and …

Recently I just rediscovered the band “The Flaming Lips”. They are an American rock band that was formed sometime in the nineteen eighties, but gained the most of their fans and became the most popular sometime in the nineteen nineties.
What I absolutely love about the bands “The Flaming …

Splinter is the seventh studio album by The Offspring, produced by Brendan O’brien and released in 2003, three years after the bands last album Conspiracy Of One. The album is a welcome step away from the last album, and I am really pleased to see the band’s return to …

Slow Motion is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album The Soft Bulletin. Contrary to the name, the track actually opens up with a fairly fast tempo, but it’s nothing too quick. Continuing on, Coyne comes in with the vocal melody for this track pretty …

Let me just say it’s a shame this album took too long to catch on. Jordin sparks has incredible vocal talents. I mean, she was just born to be a singer. I love her look; she’s not super thin and I hope she never goes that way; she’s just …

Johnny Reb is a song by Johnny Horton. It talks about a soldier that fought with Robert E. Lee and how they fought hard in a battle. The soldier was shot but still fought for what he believed in. This song is basically a tribute to …

I love music, and I love music videos. Lady Gaga has gotten a lot of exposure lately and she happens to be on my top list of good artists but her latest video has me wondering.
Love game is her latest video. Anyone notice the similarities between her and …

I really love my music and one of the artists that really stand out for me is Sade. I think she is one of the greatest musicians plying her trade in the entertainment world and I really rate her to be in a class of her own.
