Rubber Soul (The Beatles Album)
The reason I decided to review this album in particular is because I consider it to be one of the most underrated albums of all time. You are probably thinking, “HAH! The Beatles… underrated?!” Yes, yes I’ve heard it before, but I’ve held onto my opinion over the years, …
The Grateful Dead - Operator (Song)
Operator is a song by the Grateful Dead which appears on their album American Beauty. Opening up with a light guitar rhythm and a background rhythm, the song immediately has a fairly country-like feel to it and this is only reinforced once the vocals come in. I should mention …
Eagles of Death Metal - Eagles Goth (song)
“Eagles Goth” is the 11th track on “Death by Sexy”. “Eagles Goth” is by far the shortest song on the entire album. What it lacks in length however, it makes up for in style.

Metallica - Trapped Under Ice (Song)
Contrasting with the preceding track, Fade To Black, Trapped Under Ice is an extremely aggressive Metallica track which I’m sure is pleasing to those listeners who criticized Fade To Black. The lyrics to Trapped Under Ice deal with basically a helpless, and quite dangerous, …
Backstreet Boys Album ‘This is Us’
As a long time fan of the Backstreet Boys, I was eagerly awaiting the release of their album —˜This is Us.’ I’ve loved almost all of their past albums, especially since Kevin Richardson departed the group, so I expected that I’d love this one as well! However, I was …
Album : Ted Russell Kamp - Get Back To The Land (201)
It’s very rare that i hear a country music based alum that doesn’t annoy the crud out of me, but this new album from Ted Russell Kamp managed to hold my interest pretty much all the way through and is actually a pretty fun album.
Maybe it’s because i …

It’s Not Enough by The Who
I was delighted when I learned that The Who, one of my favorite all time rock groups, had released a new single, the first since “Who Are You” in 1981. “It’s not enough” has much more passion than “Who Are You.” It is another song …
Erich Konzel: Symphonic Star Trek CD
Years ago, someone introduced me to the wonderful works of Erich Kunzel, director of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. He’s really quite good. Then the opportunity came along to enjoy Kunzel’s work along with a huge favorite of mine, Star Trek. With a spoken and dramatic introduction …
Spin Doctors - What Time is it? (song)
“What Time Is It?” is the second song off of the Spin Doctors debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite. It’s a rather interesting placement of the song where generally the singles always seem to be the first few songs.
The song starts off with either radio or television banter that …
Type O Negative Bloody Kisses
The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …
Shooter - Life’s a bitch
Life’s a bitch from Shooter is one of my favorite song that I finally find the mp3 recently. I’m so happy with that because I miss this song so much, it’s becoming hits when I was in high school for about seven or eight years ago. At that time …
The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting For The Man (Song)

Breakaway CD (Kelly Clarkson)
I started watching American Idol only in Season Two so I didn’t have the chance to see Kelly Clarkson, Season One’s winner. Although I’ve heard her sing a few times before I bought her album, I wasn’t really a big fan of her’s. But I’ve heard many positive things …
Pink Floyd - The Trial (Song)
The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …
Album : John Waite - Rough & Tumble (2011)
As much as i respect John Waite and legacy he has left behind me so far, he isn’t one of my all-time favorites which means i can be properly subjective about his newly released album.
The short version of this is that i class it as a total disappointment, …
The Flaming Lips - You Have To Be Joking (Song)
You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy Of The Devil’s Brain) is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their fifth record, Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern, I have high hopes that the band will embrace a different sound …
Dreamend-Stigmata Boy

Everybody Plays the Fool by The Main Ingredient

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a song by the rock art band Pink Floyd. Shine On You Crazy Diamond was written a long time ago, and I came across this song when doing a little music history. I am a rock and roll fan, and I wanted to …
Screamin Blues Digitech pedal
This guitar pedal by digitech has to be one of the best investments I have made in my musical life. I love how you can play a nice simple scale on a regular clean setting and then immediately stomp on the pedal, yielding a more sustain and distorted sound. …

Just to See You Smile by Tim McGraw
The limits a man would go for a woman is incredible these days. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a man who would do anything for them? The man in this song is so dedicated to his woman that he would go bankrupt for her, quit a job so …
Metallica - The Day That Never Comes (Music Video)
Overview —“ The Day That Never Comes, the first video released by Metallica for the album Death Magnetic, is a video that takes place in an Eastern setting and goes from an approach that Metallica really isn’t gone with before. I do remember an interview where James Hetfield stated …
Eminem - Rain Man (Song)
Rain Man is a song by Eminem which appears on his album Encore. The track starts off with a pretty slow tempo and a laidback rhythm which Eminem establishes a rhythm for with his vocal performance. The opening vocal melody seems a bit awkward at first, and I will …

Ibanez GRG220dex
Bought this guitar during a sale, at first it was just for the looks but it was just more than that after I tested it when I got back home.
Its original price was SGD$642 but I bought it at SGD$350.
Black glossy finish with a Wizard II like neck, Ibanez …

Troye Sivan - TALK ME DOWN (Song )
I have been a huge fan on Troye Sivan ever since he released his debut single “The Fault in Our Stars” a few years back. His voice is eternally soothing, he’s not in for the great vocals you’ll find in Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars songs but there’s definitely …

When The Trickster Starts A-Poking (Bordello Kind Of Guy) is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears as the first track on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. The song opens up with a pretty frantic accordion introduction which certainly would give a listener a feel for Gogol …

Green Day “21st Century Breakdown”
I became a Green Day fan as soon as I heard one or two singles from their 2004 hit album “American Idiot.” I liked the anger and almost rage they expressed, and the hard-rocking style was something that impressed me when many other groups began putting out more —˜gentle’ …
Collapse Into Now, 2011 Album by REM
It was obvious that this was going to be the last album by the band and so there must have been a tremendous amount pressure on the musicians. They definitely did not want to disappoint such a big number of fans. Of course the fans will always have their …
The Velvet Underground - Temptation Inside Your Heart (Song)
Temptation Inside Your Heart is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album VU. One thing which should be noted about VU is that the album is not a typical or traditional studio album, it’s an album which is full of outtakes. I choose to point …
Skull and Bones, 2000 Album by Cypress Hill
Skull and Bones is a remarkable record in that on this album Cypress Hill tried something they had never tried before, and yet there is such a strong sense that they know perfectly well what exactly they are doing, as if they had been doing it for years before.
This …
After the Loving by Engelbert Humperdink
This is one of the most romantic songs ever recorded as far as I am concerned. Engelbert Humperdink was well known for his romantic songs. This is absolutely the love song of the century. Engelbert has one of those voices that had the ability to melt women’s hearts. He …
