Somebody please, give this girl some water! She is literally out of breath repeating the words “ella ella ella” over, and over, and over again.
Yes, I understand that Rihanna wants to shield her friends and lovers under her umbrella till the end, but what is up with the …

Craig David, who was once considered a protégée to Michael Jackson because of the sales of his first album “Born To Do It” really saw his career take a toll down the wrong street on his sophomore album and the ones that followed.
But in 2012, after jumping in and …

I have always liked classical music such as cellos and violins but I had never heard anything like this. Cellos and Metallica?? Who would of guessed. But these guys, Apocalyptica, they pulled it off. On this CD these four guys with their cellos cover songs by Metallica. I …

The world’s biggest and arguably the only legitimate popstar left has released the lead single for her 4th studio album. It has been more than 3 years since Katy Perry released a studio album and the wait has certainly been long. She released an Olympic song last year “Rise” …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …

Overview —“ Surfing With The Alien, the second album released by Joe Satriani, is another of Satriani’s albums to be completely instrumental and driven primarily by his guitar work. One thing that I always liked about Satriani is that he wasn’t really one of the shredders who just played …

If you do not know who Joe budden is then you probably has been under a rock somewhere. However, you should get to know him because he is one of the best and most under rated rap stars that currently do not have a record label deal. The reason …

Overview - The Number Of The Beast, Iron Maiden’s third effort and first with vocalist Bruce Dickinson (To replace Paul Di’Anno), merges excellent songwriting with excellent guitarwork.

You could not classify Novembre’s “Materia” as metal, nor heavy metal. Though Novembre have a background that is colored in Metal, on “Materia” they embrace their softer side while including traces of their metal history.
Novembre could somewhat be classified as similar to bands like Opeth, Katatonia, and even at …

There is no doubt that Queen are a band for classics and Under Pressure was another from this category. I suppose when your front man is Freddie, who has an audience in the palm of his hand then you can achieve anything you want.
Funnily enough, Under Pressure, I suppose …

When you have a hit like Dirty Dancing, you just keep trying to do things better, or over again with some little perk to keep people buying. That’s what the Dirty Dancing: The Collector’s Edition CD Set is, a ploy to get people buying. It works, too.

One Time is a debut song of the Canadian Singer 16 year old artist Justin Bieber. Redzone Entertainment produces it. One of the songs that is part of the album, My World. I admit, it sounds cool at the first time I heard it and when I get used …

Andy Griggs is one of those country music artists that only have a good song every so often. But he really landed a good one with this one. It’s funny though because the girl he describes in this song kind of descibes me. Anyway, in the song he describes …

The “Under My Skin” album is Canadian pop diva Avril Lavigne’s second foray at original album making. It was released between 2004 to 2005, single by single.
Since Avril writes most of her songs, this album was no different. The album’s first single, “Breakaway” was a song the …

Oh how I am falling in love with Chris Brown. To me, his songs are actually music, not just top 40 radio drivel. There’s a lot of stuff out there I consider drivel, but not his music. My fiance and I are even dancing to his single ‘Forever’ for …

Blackout is the fifth studio album by Britney Spears. It is one of her most successful studio albums. It has more r&b and urban sound with the collobration of Danja.
I think Blackout is the darkest and most depressive album of Britney Spears. I can feel the effects of …

I do not usually get very excited over indie bands, and indie rock music on a whole, but after hearing a few songs from the Canadian indie rock band “The New Pornographers”, I decided that not all indie rock bands are monotonous after all.
One of the biggest …

New York-based alternative rock newcomer, X Ambassadors might just get away with their new hit, “Renegades”. Already Top 20 in Alternative radios and Top 40 in iTunes, quite a rare feat considering Alternative Rock songs barely smash. But here they are, with a song worthy to take over the …

Overseas Stomp (The Lindy) is a cover which appears on a reissue of the self-titled Grateful Dead album. This song is a cover but I’m sure that The Dead added their own distinct touch to the track which is what I’ll be focusing on here. The track opens up …

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 …

I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.
I love Elliot …

I’ll start by saying there are relatively few contemporary artists, emerging in the past few years, that I’ve taken much interest in. By and large, I’m much more inclined to listen to older records and artists than newer ones-which may be odd, since I’m only 25 and the majority …

This album is a huge disappointment. I appreciate so many Cypress Hill records that I still, to this day, can’t believe that the band who recorded the groundbreaking rap albums in the early 1990s, the band that recorded Cypress Hill IV, Skull and Bones and Stoned Raiders, the marvelous …

You heard it when people say, “Pay attention to the lyrics, that’s where you know it’s true.” Well I think they are right and wrong at the same time. For the conventional thinking of everyone, a song is considered good because of its lyrics, but I think there are …

Breaking Benjamin released their third studio album on August 8, 2006. I had been a fan of Breaking Benjamin for a long time. I think that they are great. One of my top favorite bands with more melody. Now this CD is pretty awesome with the single release of …

SandMan is a really good rapper from MN. He is an underground rapper but has created a big following on the net and on the streets as well. He has a very fast flow and very good lyrics. He can also sing and harmonize on his songs as well. But …

I was in my friend’s kitchen when I heard one of the prettiest songs ever. It was called “Wanna Be,” and I could easily imagine the song being in a romance movie. It was the last song on a CD called The Madding Crowd, by Nine Days. …

Unnatural Selection is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. Unnatural Selection is one of the more guitar driven tracks on the entire album which is something that I enjoy a lot about it. One thing about The Resistance is that a lot …
