Nine Inch Nails - Head Down (Song)
Head Down is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their record The Slip. The track opens up with a slightly sloppy sounding drum and bass part along with a distorted guitar joining in, I’m not sure that sloppy is the most accurate word to be using …
Burn by Usher
Burn by Usher is a song I love listening to because it is so deep and heart felt. Every word in the song is like a poem being read aloud and the song has such a melody That anyone can be able to listen to the song over and …
Oh Perilous World by Rasputina
After listening to and loving their earlier CDs, “Thanks for the Ether” and “How We Quit the Forest”, I was pleased and surprised to find a (relatively) new CD by Rasputina. I first listened through “Oh Perilous World” last September and quickly dismissed it as boring compared to the …
(Whats the Story) Morning Glory 1995 Album by Oasis
This album is fantastic. This record sold really well and it is considered one of the most important music albums of the 1990s. I like this album. I think that it contains very catchy songs, songs with quite strong melodies.
However, I do not appreciate the arrangements of this album …
Boyzone : No Matter What
Boybands have been really a hit about 6 to 10 years ago, there was Backstreet boys of US, Boyzone of Ireland and some other boybands that made it big in the charts all over the world. The more they sing and compose mushy songs, and the more they smile …
Fall out Boy : Folie a Deux
Another album to go from this incredible band ever called “Folie a Deux”. It’s actually had been planned for releasing in November 4th, but according to this band, they didn’t want to call this album as a part of one side campaign remembering the general election of that day. …
Muse - City Of Delusion (Song)

MYMP (Make Your Momma Pround) Band - Versions Album
MYMP is a duo from the Philippines whose music is more of an accoustic type. The members include Juris, the female lead singer and Chin, the guitarist and sometimes he does some vocals. Their music is so relaxing.
In their debut album, they really catch the heart of so …
Metallica - My Apocalypse (Song)
My Apocalypse, the final song on Death Magnetic, should certainly remind listeners of Metallica used to close their records with songs like Damage, Inc. and Dyers Eve, or at least that’s what this song certainly does for me. For those of you who have heard the two aforementioned songs …
Ain’t that Ashame by Cheap Trick
I use Ain’t that Ashame by Cheap Trick to walk to when I go out for a brisk walk. It is a very upbeat song and Cheap Trick does one of the best versions of it that I have ever heard. It’s a great dance song with a bit …
Jefferson Airplane - Feel So Good (Song)

What dreams are made of by Hillary Duff
“Hey now! Hey now!. This is what dreams are made of”, from a movie soundtrack Lizzie Maguire is the song that inspired me to reach my dreams. Many people said that its okay to think of something impossible, or sometimes what we cal “dreaming”, because its just a dream …

Album: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace Band: The Offspring
Well it’s been a few years since the last Offspring album, Expectancy of One, which I honestly beloved, wasn’t all that good . However! They have finally returned! Two years ago in 2008 The Offspring released this album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, and it truly is rebirth. …
Take That - Shine - Single
I didn’t realise until I saw a video of Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams discussing Take Thats hit shine, that it had actually been wrote about Robbie Williams. It had always been one of the bands livelier songs because bee penned by Mark Owen and he always took the …
David Cook
I have mixed feelings about David Cook’s new single. It’s a good single but it sounds like all the other rock-y tunes out there on the main stream. I’m getting kind of tired of the sound. He’s so talented. I know that is his genre of music but I …
Metallica - The Judas Kiss (Song)
The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …
Famous in a Small Town by Miranda Lambert
I have known about this song for a while now, since it came out a few years ago. But I had no idea that it was by Miranda Lambert. The only time I had ever heard of her is when she won the award for best female video at …
Matthew Good - Vancouver CD

not a song on the …
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (1994)
I hate this album. I hate it just because this is the last Pink Floyd album, for good. That’s the only reason, other than that, this is the first Pink Floyd album I got to listen to as a whole, and the song that made me listen, was High …
Slayer - Haunting The Chapel
Overview —“ Haunting The Chapel, Slayer’s first EP, is three tracks which pass by incredibly fast and all have an extremely aggressive feel to them. The drumming by Lombardo, who is one of the few drummers who I actually tend to pay attention to, is excellent as always and …
The Grateful Dead - Mountains Of The Moon (Song)
Mountains Of The Moon is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on Aoxomoxoa. The track starts off in a very melodic fashion and opens up with a nice rhythm played on what sounds to me to be a harpsichord. Garcia sings along with this rhythm as an …
Green Day - See The Light (Song)
See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …
Confusion is Sex, 1983 Album by Sonic Youth
I am sure that some people might not understand the beauty of the music on this album but I personally do find beauty in this music and below I will try to explain why the nine songs that were released by Sonic Youth in 1983 are attractive to me …
The Flaming Lips - Love Yer Brain (Song)
Love Yer Brain is a song by The Flaming Lips and the final song to appear on their second album, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a piano and clocking in at just under eight minutes long, I do hope that The Flaming Lips go for something ambitious with …
My Heart Belongs to You - Hayley Westenra
I was looking for a wedding song for my cousin because she asked me to do so. I just love music so my cousin relied on me in which song could be appropriate for her wedding reception.
Then I searched the internet. I just want to find good songs with …
Kunst, 2013 Album by KMFDM
I think that this album is one of the albums by KMFDM that you can listen to but I wouldn’t describe it in any ways as essential. This band is releasing an album every two years, and I’ve always thought that there might be the danger of them simply …
Disturbed: Ten Thousand Fists CD
After two years of waiting Disturbed has finally released their third album. Anyone who has heard the single “Stricken” should indeed know that this album “rocks”, and by “rocks” I mean it “rocks” hard. From the the first track “Ten thousand Fists” to the end you can …
Train in Vain - Annie Lennox
I’ve liked a few tunes by Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics. I’m not overly fond of mellow music, especially by female singers. When my friend loaned me her Annie Lennox Medusa CD I didn’t jump at the opportunity to listen to it right away. In fact, it …
Metallica - Dyers Eve (Song)
Dyers Eve has to be one of Metallica’s most aggressive and angry songs, not just on Justice but on any of their nine records. For those of you who heard Master Of Puppets, if for some reason then you haven’t then go listen to it now, you’ll recognize that …
Slayer - Disintegration/Free Money (Song)
Disintegration/Free Money is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Undisputed Attitude. Like the rest of this record, this song is a cover of a punk band known as Verbal Abuse. To be fair, I didn’t really like this record very much and didn’t think Slayer did …
Album : Deicide - To Hell With God (2011)
My journey to discovering the all-out death metal assault that is DEICIDE was a long and winding one.. I’ll cut it short and just say that when i was pretty young i was introduced to AC/DC, and from there was always searching for the next heaviest thing and went …
The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound
The Gaslight Anthem’s second album The 59 Sound, released in 2009, has brought the band to mainstream attention, helped in part, in the UK, with a renowned performance at Glastonbury which included guest accompaniment on stage by headliner Bruce Springsteen. Their debut album was met with critical acclaim …
Korn
Korn’s self titled debut was released on Immortal/Epic in may of 1994 and recorded in Malibu California. This album is extremely dark and aggressive, the first song Blind, is about Jonathan Davis’s drug problems and how he felt blind a really aggressive song. Ball Tongue is less interesting but …
Animal Collective - Good Lovin Outside (Song)
Good Lovin Outside is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate song on their album Sung Tongs. Opening with vocals right from the start, Good Lovin Outside takes on a tone which sounds somewhat hypnotizing to be honest. Perhaps this is just the way I hear the …
Animal Collective - Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished (Album)
Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective. Comprised of ten tracks, three of which being instrumentals, the overall sound of the record can be characterized as experimental, psychedelic, and even fantasy-like. Although the album does have some tracks on it which I personally …
Megadeth - Train Of Consequences (Song)
Train Of Consequences is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track opens up with a heavily palm-muted riff by Mustaine before a very ehavy bass line comes in beneath this. Mustaine comes in with the vocals which certainly has that characteristic snarl of his …
The Grateful Dead - Go To Heaven
Overview - Go To Heaven, The Grateful Dead’s eleventh effort, is unfortunately an album that I’d have to say is average at absolute best, probably even worse than that to be honest. The opening track made me pretty hopeful for the rest of the album since it carries a …
Cassie - me and u
Me and you from Cassie is one of my favorite RnB song. Everytime I listen it, I never bored and wanna dance though just move a little of my hands or my foot.
The song is very clear on the tempo, it’s not too up but not too low, just …
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 …
Don’t Forget Me by Captain and Tennille
The first time I heard this song was when I was nine and you would not imagine that age I certainly understood what this song is all about. Don’t forget me is an old song coming from Captain and Tennille the husband and wife team. This is a good …
Golden Memories of Stage & Screen - CD
Golden Memories of Stage & Screen - CD is a four disk set that was released by Reader’s Digest Music. It’s a collector’s edition of original recordings, as it describes itself on the cover, and that is an apt description.
I find it very hard to even skip ahead …
Dio

Britney Spears
Talking about Britney Spears, well she has a pretty face but I don’t like her voice. She may be famous because she is good at dancing but I would rather listen to Mandy Moore who is also a contempory young singer. Mandy can also do …
Animal Collective - Lion In A Coma (Song)
Lion In A Coma is a song by Animal Collective and the ninth song to appear on their 2009 record Merriweather Post Pavilion. Immediately opening up with a bouncy rhythm, Lion In A Coma has an undeniable lighthearted sound to it right from the start. The vocal performance …
