HIgher Ground is a remake of Stevie Wonder’s original song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I really enjoy most of the music that the Red Hot Chili Peppers record, and Higher Ground is one of my favorites. Higher Ground, the Red Hot Chili Peppers version is a really …

I was digging through some of my CDs the other day, looking for something different to listen to in the car (we don’t have decent radio stations here). I ended up coming across my Joe Diffie: Third Rock from the Sun album and ended up listening to that.
I have …

Meshuggah is not a household name. Most people will go through their lives never hearing about an experimental Math/Metal band named Meshuggah. They are from Sweden, and are hailed as the Math/Metal gods(aside from Tool). Meshuggah are known for their complex, mind numbing time signatures, and their brutal almost …

That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.
How often do you have ups and downs in one year? How often do our aspirations and emotions change? All the …

Overview —“ For Whom The Bell Tolls, the third track on Ride The Lightning, is what I would consider to be one of Metallica’s most well known songs throughout their career. I’m aware that when a person thinks of Metallica they’ll most likely think of tracks like Enter Sandman …

I’ve been following Japanese surf rock band Go!Go!7188 for over 5 years now, and I was really excited to get my copy of their 2009 album, Antenna, which promised some different sounds while still showing the classic Go!Go!7188 rock.
True enough, the album featured songs that I can’t really say …

Aaliyah ft. Ginuwine, Timbaland, and Missy Elliot
“One In A Million (Remix)”
One In A Million
Blackground/Atlantic
Director: Paul Hunter
Remix singles have the potential to do many things for listeners, but remix music videos are a hit and miss game when it comes down to it. The remix for Aaliyah’s signature hit, “One …

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 …

Mountain Side is a song by the Flaming Lips and is the ninth song on their fourth studio album, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Returning to a more distorted and aggressive sound than the preceding track on the album, Mountain side opens up with a driving rhythm due to …

“Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone
Performer: Cinderella
I can officially add “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone” performed by Cinderella as my favorite take me back song. As I was listening to “Nobody’s Fool”, there was a sidebar of other videos posted by users; I kept …

Kelly Clarkson has attained many achievements since winning American Idol many years back. Her third album was called “My December” and it came out during a really rough time for her. She was having issues with the people who were managing her plus she canceled a tour. It seemed …

I think that the American rock band “Good Charlotte” used to be one of the more popular rock bands about since they had so many hits songs around a particular period of time. I think that part of the reason might also be the fact that the vocalist “Joel” …

My Last Words is a song by Megadeth and is the final track on their record Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? The track opens up with an eerie sounding clean guitar riff by Mustaine before a distorted rhythm comes over it in a somewhat dissonant fashion which leads to …

Sami Yusuf is a great nasheed singer. He is one of the best worldwide. When I listen to the songs of his first album Al Muallim (Supplication) I got so carried away with it. He sings so beautifully and the deep sincerity in his voice has a soothing effect …

Chicken And Meat is a song by Das Racist which appears on their first album, Shut Up, Dude. The track opens up with a fairly quick tempo led by an electronic intro before the vocals come in with a quick delivery and some catchy lines. One thing about Das …

The Best So Far CD of Anne Murray is a selection of twenty songs. I have this album for years now. The songs here are really great. Anne Murray is one of the finest voices I’ve ever heard actually. What I particularly like about Anne Murray’s tone is …

Chica Me Tipo is a song by Sublime and the thirteenth song on their first release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a simple guitar riff, I must admit that I actually find the introduction of this track to be one of the more interesting moments on the …

White Pony is the Deftones third album produced with Terry Date and The Deftones, it is my favorite Deftones album, I’ve listened to it so much I have retired the thing on an indefinite hiatus, I’ve heard it so many times, I don’t need to be playing the album …

Overview —“ Wherever I May Roam, a third music video released for The Black Album, along with Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters, focuses on a live setting which fits extremely well with the song in my opinion. The song is all about the life of touring and not …

Toby Keith has been one of my favorite country music singers since he came on the scene. Many people take offense to his sometimes “rowdy” appearances in songs such as “Who’s Your Daddy” and “How Do You Like Me Now?”. These songs are just a small part of what …

I am a huge fan of the band my morning jacket. this is the newest album by the band, and features two new band members since its last album. this is a truly amazing album. i had almost compleaty stopped listeing to the band before this album was released. …

Jay-Z
“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …

“Move Along” by the All American Rejects is just an average album. To be quite honest, I kind of wish that I had not spent the money on this song. My overall opinion of this album is that there are a few good songs on the album but the …

Fates Warning is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album No Prayer For The Dying. The track starts off with a clean guitar part with a melodic lead played over it which is a nice start to the track and actually not a way that Iron …

Sissy Spacek is simply incredible as the first lady of country music, Loretta Lynn, in Coal Miner’s Daughter. Her speech and singing were right on. She does do all the singing here, and she’s so good that not everyone realizes that it’s Spacek singing and not Lynn. …

Hollywood Cantata is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Blues For Allah. The song opens up with a false start which I personally find unnecessary and purely filler. The track then goes into the actual take and opens up with an introduction which seems …

A-Punk is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their self-titled debut record. As with more Vampire Weekend songs, the track opens up with a very light-hearted guitar riff which simply radiates with feelings of youthfulness and playfulness. The vocals soon come in with the first verse and …

One Way by Hillsong is another praise and worship song that has become really famous because of its wonderful message (lyrics) and accompaniment. The song is upbeat, very unlikely for a music or song that talks about Jesus, or God himself. Well this song is very unique in itself …

All Time Low’s second full-length album has become one of my favorite by the artist. So Wrong It’s Right is, in my opinion, All Time Low’s most powerful compilation of pop-punk-revival songs which mixes sometimes run of the mill pop punk themes with energetic and …

Fight Test is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their record Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. The song opens up with an echo-like effect and also sets up an atmosphere as if you’re in a huge arena of people watching a “fight test”, as the name …

I have been very impressed with this band in the last bit and this CD only reaffirms my faith in them. This CD was given to me as a birthday present from my uncle who also loves these guys, He knew I liked them so when the CD came …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …

I fell in love with David during American Idol and this cd just proves how far his journey has gone. This cd is phenomenal. Theres not many cds where I can say I like every song, this is one of them! Davids voice is so defined, I can always …

Overview - Ride The Lightning is Metallica’s second album, after their groundbreaking thrash album Kill ‘Em All. While Kill ‘Em All was pure thrash metal from front to back in just a constant assault, Ride The Lightning expands on this form of music while incorporating melodic aspects to it …

Ship Of Fools, a song by The Doors which appears on Morrison Hotel, opens up with an interesting rhythm and is then led by Morrison’s vocals on the song. I believe Ship Of Fools is a good example of one of those songs where the music and the vocals …

Before I review this album, it is important to mention that I don’t typically listen to this style of music. I’m a metalhead and also listen to a lot of gothic music, but every once in a while I’ll end up listening to something completely unexpected and far outside …

Low by Flo Rida ft. T-pain is a new rap song that is out which I like a lot. I know the words by heart and I have learned the dance. My one friend not long ago asked me to sing the song because I told him I knew …

Released in June of 2008, Rise and Fall, Rage And Grace is The Offspring’s eighth album, the album was produced by Bob Rock. It is a good album and it shows how the band has matured and this is good progression, one thing I don’t like about it is …

This band has influenced me tremendously as a heavy metal vocalist just starting out. Of course, I have other influences such as the band Arch Enemy which has a female lead singer like me; but there have been many things I have adored about the band Pantera.
If you’ve ever …

The Unforgiven III, the third installment in The Unforgiven series, is quite a good song yet I’d probably still rank it as the lowest, or at least my least favorite, of the three pieces of the trilogy. However, before I get into the bulk of my review, I …

HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss seemed to believe they would capture the public’s imagination with this second LP but it didn’t work out that way despite its high quality.
Better than some have suggested.
This one also didn’t sell when first released but greater things was soon to come. Album contains Gene Simmons’ …

I’m the type of person who loves music & listens to all kinds of music; I know some songs, people, & groups most people my age never heard of for example the group Mint Condition. I love this group their songs are so amazing; their voices are the perfect blind …

While skimming through this website I came across a couple of reviews of the Top 10 Best Grateful Dead Songs of all time. Even though there is truly no right top 10 list, I was inspired to right this after seeing someone post the track list from Skeletons …

Ramble On is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their second record, Led Zeppelin II. Ramble On begins with an acoustic guitar pattern primarily in the right channel and also an interesting percussive rhythm and bass line as well. Plant comes in with the vocals of the …

A few days ago I bought lovestrong. by Christina Perri on iTunes. Now, I’m a huge Perri fan, so I was destined to like the album, but even so, I like it more than I thought I would. In fact, I’ve bought maybe 20 CDs in the past 12 …

Type O Negative’s brand of music has always been hard to digest for listeners like me and modern rock radio and the band’s October Rust CD is not helping to solve the problem at all. Not only the album will alienate the band further from mainstream music but might …
