Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.

The liner jacket for Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD is nothing more than a very long credits listing, so that’s a little disappointing. There is a quick few lines signed by Barry on the last page, but that doesn’t help to make the liner worthwhile. When …

Good Charlotte Life styles of the rich and famous is a song that I agree with in the sense that rich people have no right to complain that there life is hard because they don’t even have a clue what a hard life is. The part I agree with …

Mezmerize is a difficult record to summarize …

The opening strain of this song is like Knock you down from Keri Hilson. They lyrics shows that it is became Knocks you down part two. Actually that is what my friends said too but anyway this song is like other hip hop songs that came out it only …

“Burn It Up”
TP-3 Reloaded

Fall Be Kind is an EP released by Animal Collective to follow their previous EP release of Water Curses. I will say right now that I think Fall Be Kind is overall a very strong EP, but it does have one fairly large flaw to it which is that …

Lil’ Wayne —“ I’m a Monster

Overview —“ Together Through Life, Bob Dylan’s 33rd released studio album shows the man still has the drive to make music but it just isn’t as good as what it once was. Obviously I don’t expect Dylan to release another Highway 61 Revisited or Blonde On Blonde, although his …

Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …

Released in October 2012, “Monster” is the 20th studio album from legendary rockers Kiss. After listening to this latest release, it’s clear to see why this band has maintained such a loyal fan base and the nickname “The Hottest Band In The World” after all these years. …
