The Offspring Americana Album
The Offspring is an alternative punk rock band and is one of my favorite bands in general. This is also one of my favorite albums from the band as well and it has some of my favorite songs from them. I think this album is pretty solid around.
The first track …
Tical 0 The Prequel, 2004 Album by Method Man
I would not say that I love rap music. I certainly liked it but there are certain genres of music I totally love and they are of course mostly rock music and also electronic music. But rap music is the type of music that I like even though I …
The Beatles - The White Album (Side II)
Overview - Side II of The White Album continues with the mix of Lennon and McCartney compositions, but also includes one by Harrison as well and even one by Starr. Similar to side I, this side of the album has a lot of melodic songs to it but also …
Beyond the Sea - Finding Nemo
I reviewed about Amanda Peet on Ellen earlier on, and it made me remember the show Finding Nemo, since her daughter loves Dory the character in the movie so much.
Speaking of Finding Nemo, there is this one song that came to my mind all of a sudden and …
“Landshark/Where The Wild Things Are” by Fang (Compilation: 1997)
In 1982 and 1983, Fang released their first two LPs, “Landshark” and “Where The Wild Things Are”, a pair of albums that are about as good and solid as it gets in second wave punk. In 1997, they were paired together and re-released in one package, providing over 40 …
Emiliana Torrini Fisherman’s Woman
The first time i heard this album was around 3 years ago. A friend had bought it after watching Emiliana Torrini live on Youtube and gushing about her for weeks. Previously, i’d only heard a couple of singles from her first album (Love in the time of Science) & …
Mine- Taylor Swift (Single)
Havent heard a lot from Taylor lately since her last album. I was kind of drifting away from her music because i wanted some other songs from her. Finally it is here! This single is everything Taylor Swift is about and this song is absolutely incredible. I bought the …
Troye Sivan - Wild (EP Track-by-Track )
I have been a fan of Troye Sivan since his early days in YouTube! Just a little background for those who are new to him, Troye Sivan is a popular YouTube blogger from Australia, he’s still young and he’s openly gay.
He released his first EP (short for extended play) …

Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ by 50 Cent
Don’t buy this CD; it is really tasteless. Not to mention I am not really a big fan of this artiste anyway. But he is really talented I have to claim that. For this particular album, the songs are not that nice and I couldn’t relate to …
Estranged Music Video by Guns N Roses

Cam’ron : S.D.E.cd
After I heard the first Cam’ron cd title “Confessions Of Fire” I decided to listen to the next Cam’ron cd which was titled “S.D.E.” because I believed it would be at least as good as his first cd. However, I was very dissapointed when I got this cd, he …
Ginuwine: Even When I’m Mad
Recently I downloaded Ginuwine’s new CD, A Man’s Thoughts; he has made a great comeback. But one of my favorite songs on the CD is Even When I’m Mad; it talks about something we all can relate to. It talks about being in a relationship & wanting to …

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Album)
Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009. Comprised of eleven songs, Merriweather Post Pavilion is posed with the tough task of following Strawberry Jam, Feels, and Sung Tongs which are the three strongest Animal Collective records in my opinion. Overall, I would say that …
Dire Straits ‘Brothers In Arms’ Classic Album
Now I have never been known to be a proper fan of rock music, but recently I came across a Dire Straits album, titled —˜Brothers In Arms’, that somehow enticed me to pop it in and give it a listen, purely because of the profound title and I was …
Come With Me: Puff Daddy ft. Jimmy Page

“Come With Me”
“Godzilla”: The Motion Picture Soundtrack
Bad Boy Records
Due to some previous considerable success with his rock remix of “It’s All About The Benjamins”, Puff Daddy was selected to take another jab at the rock genre for motion picture soundtrack to 1998’s “Godzilla”. Here he …
Album : Yes - Fragile (1971)
YES are another one of those bands that help to prove that the seventies was the creative peak of music as we know it. I’m not one of those people that thinks new music is bad, i just know that the expressionism in music is nowhere near today like …
Sara Evans: Born to Fly CD
Sara Evans is a country singer who has had a fair amount of success. She’s slipped away a bit after some unpleasantness from her last marriage. She’s still around, but I don’t hear about her near as much as I was prior to the marriage collapsing. …
Barry Manilow: Singin’ with the Big Bands CD
I really loved the Barry Manilow: Singin’ with the Big Bands CD. It was near perfection in my opinion. I love Manilow, and I love big band, even though I don’t listen to it all that much; still, I do enjoy it greatly. Put the two …
Bob Dylan - Lonesome Day Blues (Song)
Lonesome Day Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Love And Theft. As you can tell from the title, the track has a very blues-rock feel but I actually think that this works pretty well with Dylan on this song. Dylan’s vocal melody works …
Syd Barrett - Barrett
Overview - Barrett, the second solo record of Syd Barrett, is more stripped down songwriting - basically the exact opposite of his work in Pink Floyd. While in Pink Floyd Barrett worked a lot with very frantic and chaotic psychedelic music, but this album really isn’t like that at …
Justin Bieber
Look out for this name: Justin Bieber. He’s around 14, I think and this kid will really go far. In fact, he has experience singing and rumors have it that he has or is going to have a singing album coming up soon. I first saw him …
Classic Rock Band The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are old. Some people say they were far too old to be playing at the Super Bowl a few years back. I say leave them alone. They have earned the right to age, they have put in their time as young people, but their music lives …
The Last Goodbye- Mckenzie Comer
I know many people have not heard of McKenzie, well this girl has an incredible future ahead of her. She is a fourteen year old Aussie singer, with a voice that could move moutains. She has not gotten an offical record label to sign her yet but she has …
Love is a Battlefield
While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …
System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. (Song)
B.Y.O.B. the opening track of System Of A Down’s double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize is what I would consider to be among their most aggressive work throughout the past few records. The song opens up with a guitar riff by Malakian which is quite aggressive and quick before giving way to …
Pulse CD
I always love tune to a good dance music. And in this Pulse album, there’s lots of reason to dance and at the same time, exercise. This CD album features lots of CD compilation albums and certainly every track gives me some kind of adrenaline pumping and …
Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
Before Franz Ferdinand’s debut self-titled album released in 2004, Scotland has only Rod Stewart, Shirley Manson and Annie Lennox, who each of them has something different than just singing. Image which was built by Alex Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Nick McCarthy and Paul Thomson, was like white boy disco, a …
In Flames Come Clarity CD
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 …
Iyiyi- Cody Simpson (Single)

Cage The Elephant - Judas (Song)
Judas is a song by Cage The Elephant which appears on their self-titled debut record. The track opens up with the youthful energy of the band led by a distorted guitar before giving way to the vocal line and the instrumentation unfortunately seems to fade off into the background. …
Bob Dylan - Blowin’ In The Wind (Song)
Blowin’ In The Wind, one of Bob Dylan’s most famous and ionic songs throughout his extremely lengthy career proves to certainly meet it’s reputation as the track itself is just great. As with most early Bob Dylan, or rather most Bob Dylan for that matter, the track isn’t driven …
Muse - Darkshines (Song)
Darkshines is a track by Muse which appears on Origin Of Symmetry. Right from the introduction of the song, Darkshines has a very interesting tone not just because of the guitar lead which is playing but also the bass line which is something I recommend paying attention to here. …
The Flaming Lips - She Don’t Use Jelly (Song)
She Don’t Use Jelly is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fourth track to appear from their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although this album is filled with quite a lot of catchy songs, particularly the first two opening songs of the record, She Don’t Use …

The Bees by Lee Ann Womack
The bees sang by Lee Ann Womack is a wonderful song. I have only heard it a couple of times but it is a really good song. It’s pretty and a country song but a little more upbeat than most country songs. I like singing to it and I …
Rudeboy Music Video By Rihanna
Rihanna is one of my favorite recording artists. Despite all the drama with Chris Brown being abusive towards her, she has remained a strong female figure that I can see inspiring a younger generation of little girls. She is a talented live singer who does not rely too heavily …
Sublime - 40 Oz. To Freedom (Album)
40 Oz. To Freedom is the debut album released by Sublime. Comprised of twenty-two songs, Sublime does a good job of covering quite a lot of musical ground and I’m sure there is at least a couple tracks on here that every listener could enjoy. From their more classic …
Backstreet Boys
Backstreet Boys was a really successful musical group during the mid 90’s. The came to the scene at the absolutely right time, when boy bands were really popular. Previously, the contemporary boy bands that were out there were mainly European. When Backstreet Boys came to the scene, they have …
The Rolling Stones - In Another Land (Song)

The Chainsmokers ft. Daya - Don’t Let Me Down (2016 Song)
From the opening strum of the song, you will eventually come to a conclusion that it will be great. Every time I hear the opening melody I always have the feeling that the song will be great throughout, and that instinct is always right, the song is pure EDM …
Almost In Love by Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley’s album Almost In Love is just another example of the King of Rock at his finest. If you’re anything like me, you appreciate all great music. And there’s none so great as Elvis.
Almost In Love features ten great tracks from this legend. Released in 1970, It contains …
Needle and Thread - The Reign of Kindo
One genre of music that I feel is hugely underrated and underdeveloped is jazz/rock. It seems that rarely will I find a good jazz/rock combination band, despite the fact that the two styles of music compliment each other so well. The Reign of Kindo is a band that stands …
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (Song)
Hurt is a song by Nine Inch Nails which is the final track on their concept album, The Downward Spiral. Something to note about this song was that it was covered by Johnny Cash before the time of his death, but I’ll be focusing on the version by Nine …
Winner (song) by Jamie Foxx featuring Justin Timberlake and T.I.
I was searching for a positive affirmation quotes on the net when I bump on this lyrics. Then I remember from reading the lyrics that I have heard this song playing as the background song for NBA Playoffs. In addition, I was right; it is the official song for …
