Sugar is a track which appears on System Of A Down’s self-titled debut record. I believe that among the songs on that first record, Sugar is probably the most well known, along with War, because of the music videos made for them. Sugar certainly demonstrates System Of A Down …

My cousin, John, has a gamut of a collection of CD’s and DVD’s. One time while we were out for lunch he announced that he had to go to a near by music store because he wanted to buy the latest release of Josh Groban under Warner Brother Records: …

It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …

In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …

I have been a huge fan of the 1970’s Canadian rock band, The Stampeders my whole life. My parents loved them before I was born, so I grew up listening to them, and for the last 5 years I have been blessed to see them each year at the …

First, I never thought that REO Speedwagon is the name of the band who sings this song. I thought that REO Speedwagon is a name of a person. I was first introduced to REO when I was in third grade and I remember this song is playing on school …

One of my favorite cds right now is Gene Simmons ***HOLE. A lot of people may be turned off by the title, but I think if you listened to it, the title soon would be forgotten.
The CD contains thirteen songs, one of which bears the ***hole title. …

I’ve been too in love with this young girl ever since she released an album full of covers, but mind you, she literally treated those songs like they were her own. She polished alternative tracks so that the general public (who don’t like that genre much) would appreciate it. …

Dance Little Sister is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album It’s Only Rock —˜N Roll. The track starts off with bass, drums, and guitar very briefly before Jagger comes in with his vocal delivery while Jagger is playing some guitar leads in the background. …

Ranch Records actually has three locations, one in Salem, one in Bend, and one in McMinville, but I have never been to the other two, so I will concentrate on the Salem, Oregon Ranch.
Ranch is my favorite record store in the whole world. I recently went to San Francisco …

Bounce is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second album, Toxicity. Right from the start the song is extremely aggressive and Tankian matches the intensity of the music with his own vocal delivery. The track is pretty hectic, although to no extreme sense, it …

As a lover of contemporary Christian music, I sometimes have trouble deciding which CDs to choose. There’s Christian pop and even Christian rap these days, but when I buy a CD I usually end up liking half the songs by the artist in question and not the other half. …

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 …

Subliminal-just when you thought it was over
Subliminal’s new/ not so new album is something that was destined to get mixed reviews. On one hand, he continues his legacy of excellence and presents us with well crafted and executed songs. On the other hand, it is clear that …

I have recently became a huge Jason Aldean fan. Not only because he is liked by many, but because his songs are actually written about really deep topics that have an amazing meaning. Anyone can find a song of his to relate to basically. This song, Even If I …

Angel by Shaggy is a beautiful song that I like to listen to a lot. I got introduced to this song from my friend in North Carolina who used to live right across from me. I liked going over to her house a lot when I lived right across …

This album is not one of my favorites to be honest, but it’s by no means a bad album, all I am saying is compared to other albums like Americana and Smash, this is a bit lower on my list of The Offspring’s albums. Still it’s an overall solid …

Misery, a track appearing on Green Day’s album Warning, is a song that I will admit actually surprised me significantly. I’ll admit that Warning and the previous few records that Green Day released were quite disappointing, particularly since they proved that they could do so much better, but Warning …

Pink Floyd has been my favorite band since I was a teenager in the 1980s. Throughout the years, this band has produced so many beautiful and melodic sounds. I can recall so many times where my friends and I have just made a night out of mellowing out to …

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has been becoming increasingly popular over the years, especially during the holiday season. I recently purchased The Lost Christmas Eve album, which, obviously is a Christmas album. It is hands down the best Christmas CD I have ever heard in my life. It …

In Rainbows that was recently released to CD earlier this year. I am a huge Radiohead fan and was very interested to see in which direction they were going to go with this album. I was expecting anything.
The album as a whole is beautiful. Both guitarists use a very …

Taproot is a band from Michigan that has made it into the mainstream, but I’ve never been sure how popular they really are outside of their home state. They’re definitely worth a listen, though. “Poem” is the most well-known song off of this CD, and for good …

Four Sticks is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their iconic record Led Zeppelin IV. The track starts off with a pretty famous guitar riff from Page and you should also take note of Bonham’s rhythm behind Page as it strikes me as an interesting rhythm and …

Yes, that’s the real artwork for Sia’s newly debuted song titled “Bird Set Free”. She’s been getting weirder and weirder as she’s deeper into her career, now she’s refusing to have a camera in front of her face. Her album covers and live performances are so weird to be …

Ebin is a song by Sublime which appears on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a nice bass line, Nowell comes in with a vocal performance which at first seems more like fast spoken word. Although this didn’t win me over initially, Nowell soon starts …

To be honest I have mixed feelings about this album. There are certain aspects of this music that I really enjoy, that I truly appreciate. I think that the Killers moved onto a brand-new level that is worth praise. But at the same time there are those aspects of …

The song walk over you is one of AC/DC’s songs that have a lot of aggression in. This song off the album Highway to Hell would have to be one of my favorites on the album. The intro is made up of slow distortion power chords played by …

I heard —˜Death’ on the radio and immediately loved it. It’s something about the way that it slowly builds, “this fear’s got a hold on me —¦” just breaks out of the track followed by the heady guitar.
However, it wasn’t until I saw White Lies at Isle of Wight …

With some trepidation - after all, I had heard BAD things about her latest release - I purchased My December, Kelly Clarkson’s third album.
I’m glad I did.
True, My December is not a lighthearted, American Idol type offering, quite the contrary. It is a hard driving, “woman …

Bone Thugs N Harmony’s Creepin On Ah Come up album is a hip hop classic and one of the best rap albums I have ever heard. From the intro with the devil laughing to the haunting singing of Bone Thugs, this album delivers the thug style. The hit song …

Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” is one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the 1990s. There is a certain rawness to the whole affair — dissonance, and fuzzy production values give this album a homemade feel. The lyrics have a distinctly post-modern, sometimes dark tone to them, while others …

The Best Damn Thing by Avril Lavinge is about how this girl believes she is the best damn thing a guy has ever seen. IT talks about how the guy makes her look bad some times but I don’t think she understands that guys do not try to make …

Sounds of the Earth: Ocean Waves - Sounds Of The Earth Series is a pretty relaxing audio CD that is quite pleasant to listen to. It accurately and clearly brings the sounds of the ocean to my ears and to my mind. Unlike some other audio CDs of the …

I just heard The Chainsmokers’ new song and my initial impression was, “WHAT? This is basically a ripoff of their previous song Closer? How could they be so blatant in self-plagiarism?” I immediately hated it because the first thing that came to my mind in why they became such …

2.Prayer for …

This is one of the songs that broke my heart. Not anyone may have experienced what the writer must have felt. But I do. I really do. Maybe that’s the reason why it appealed to me that much.
Technically judging, the tune is not that sad enough to mean what …

Please Mrs. Henry is a song by Bob Dylan and The Band which appears on the album The Basement Tapes. This track opens up with a very light guitar rhythm before Dylan starts up with the vocals which are somewhat humorous throughout the track, assuming you don’t take the …
