The Ultimate Sin, 1986 Album by Ozzy Osbourne

Dreamend-Sun in Aries
Dreamend is a band I discovered quite recently. I had listened to them some before but never really got impressed. Once I listened to Sun in Aries I was completely astonished with what I heard. You can say it’s divided into two separate parts. The first one combines tender …

Airbourne - Runnin’ Wild (Album, 2007)
Airbourne storm onto the scene with the thundering, rocking, beer-drinking, womanizing “Runnin’ Wild”.

Act of Kindness - debut album by The Dan Bruder Band
The debut album “Act of Kindness” by the Dan Bruder Band was recommended to me by a good friend who told me it was one of the best new, pure-bred rock albums that was steeped in American rock roots he had heard in a long time. For those not …
Cult Of Static
The band was founded in Los Angeles since 1994, the band did not offer something different, after five albums, Wayne Static, Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda, and Nick Oshiro, still presents almost the same thing, just different doses.

October 1981 Music Album by U2
And just what were U2 thinking when they were recording, and subsequently, releasing this album? It is one of the mysteries I have always been puzzled by. I am a huge U2 fan. Probably, currently not as big of a fan as I was in the past, in my …
Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up by Garth Brooks

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (CD)
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 …

Metallica - The Unforgiven (Song)
The Unforgiven would be the one song on The Black Album which I would define as being extremely musically mature and once again shows an excellent example of Metallica continuing to progress as excellent songwriters. The lyrics to this song deal with this person cutting himself off from society …

Beyond the Sea - Finding Nemo

The Beatles - Good Night (Song)

Meet Me Halfway Music Video by The Black Eyed Peas

Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Music Video)
Overview —“ Down In It, the first single and music video released by Nine Inch Nails for their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine, takes the chaos of the song and matches it with a video. Although this sounds appealing, at least to me, the execution in the music video …

The Bends, 1995 Album by Radiohead
