Move along by the all American rejects is about how when you fall down get back up and move along. It is talking about how when a girl or guy rejects you just get back up and move along and keep strong. This song helps a lot of my …

So, the buzz about this new album is certainly flowing around the heavy metal landscape as anticipation rises to near manic status. I was blessed with an advance copy of this album to have a look at and i must say that i am pretty underwhelmed by the whole …

Donny Osmond: This is the Moment CD has some jazzy elements to it. I’ve always loved Donny and I’ve seen him perform many times. It’s always a pleasure.
The title song from the CD is also a favorite song of mine. His version is much softer than …

First time I hear this song, it’s sounds so weird to me, like the kids who has weird vocal sing this song. But, after I listen it more and more, I realize that I dance with this song. I enjoy it when it’s played.
‘Tokyo Drift’ from is original …

I love Jack Johnson because he seems to put out some very upbeat and positive songs. It’s about time that someone put out more positive songs than they do negative or depressing songs. This song is about the train breaking down. He’s ready to break down, sounds like he …

March Of The Pigs is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Downward Spiral. The track opens up with a quick and driving rhythm before other instrumentation joins in along with Reznor’s vocal delivery. I’ll point out right now that thus far, the band …

Can’t Stop The Spring is a song by The Flaming Lips and the ninth song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Returning to the distorted guitar sound present throughout the majority of this record, Can’t Stop The Spring honestly reminds me of a Flaming Lips song which appeared …

Maggie May was one of the first big hits that Rod Stewart ever recorded and it is still just as popular today with those who remember when it was released and new generations of Rod Stewart fans. This is the ultimate Rod Stewart song and it essential to have …

The View is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the second track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with an incredibly simple and pretty boring riff, Reed comes in with the vocal melody of the track which honestly just sounds like a mess to me. …

This is the song that is always playing in the radio during Mother’s Day and Women’s day. Even the variety programs, the artists there are singing this song when the occasion always involved women. I am not a fan of Billy Joel but I like his songs absolutely. And …

From the moment I first heard “All About the Bass” more than a year ago, I instantly fell in love with Meghan Trainor. She gave something that not only reminded me of the 80’s but also the fact that she’s a newcomer, and with a concept that she’s trying …

Whips and Chains by David Allan Coe is a weird song. It is probably my least favorite song that he does. It just goes to show that you can write a song about almost anything though. I don’t think this one made it very big because I had never …

This review does not give any specifics other than not enough Sinatra was used. That is one of the worst thing about reviewers of reviewing in general, they are always looking for something thats not there, just take it as it is. The album begins with one …

As one of the most popular country music songs between the years 2003 and 2005, the song ‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by the first ever ‘Nashville Star’ winner Buddy Jewell is one that I will never be able to shake from my mind.
This wonderfully written song follows country music …

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 …

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 …

This cheeky singer is probably most well known for her hits —˜Smile’ or —˜LDN’. Well, she is back with a more entertaining, grown up perspective on life, love and most other things under the sun with her new album —˜It’s Not Me, It’s You’. Her first release, whilst great pop …

As The World Turns is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Slim Shady LP. As the opening rhythm comes in, Eminem does a good job of utilizing both a rhythm vocal track and a lead vocal song throughout the very start in the song but …

The album “Like Swimming” By Morphine is not what I expected from such an odd sounding band. When I really listen to this song, it is amazing. The voice that I hear makes me want to relax, sit back, and enjoy the music. Of course, I would not recommend …

The tracks on this CD are some of the best works of Celine Dion’s career. This is the best collection of songs ever put together on any CD. From the ever powerful “It’s all coming back to me now” that is literally thunderous, to the title track “Falling into …

I was at the local record store, browsing through the Metal section looking for another amazing band to add to my collection. Being a huge fan of bands that push the envelope and cross genres and try all together new things, I focused on Meshuggah. Literally everyone I have …

People might shrug by the musical genre called Melodic death Metal as this is a subgenre not worth the mention with bands churning sub-par albums from this genre.But to this Finnish metal maniacs going by the name of Omnium Gatherum,they have managed to infuse this once infected genre with …

Today I will be speaking about a west coast classic album. And that is the Thug Lords album recorded by Yuk Mouth and C-bo. I must say that I love everything about this great album. The beats the lyrics and flows are all great. I think C Bo and Yukmouth …

I was really impressed with this two-man band - or should I say, the one man, one woman band. HoneyHoney is comprised of two members and two members only (with the exception of an additional musician or so on stage i.e. a drummer). For some reason, usually …

One Of My Lies is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. The track starts out with a pretty raw sounding three-chord guitar riff before the bass and drums join in. Something I like about the sound thus far is that the production really isn’t …

JIM LAAB’S MUSIC. Was the best experience I�ve had a purchasing something major via the internet. I desperately wanted a baby grand piano for my new house, however, a zillion trips to music stores, some near and some quite far away, left me feeling very depressed. I …

As I was still browsing through my dad’s old records, I also found, amongst my discovery, Diana Ross (1976) by Diana Ross. I checked the value of this CD now, and I was amazed at the $149 price tag. True blue royal record.
I bet the price befits …

Every Breath you take by the Police is a simple song. The song talks about how this guy is saying that every thing his girl does he’ll be watching her cause she belongs to him. This song has a simple beat which I like quite a bit. The lyrics …

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 …

Sonic Youth is one of the most influential bands in the history of alternative rock music, and the 1992 Dirty is one of their best albums.

The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for 500 Days of Summer is probably one of the best movie soundtracks that I have ever owned. Whoever was in charge of picking the songs to go in this movie did a wonderful job of it. These are songs that both remind me …

Overview - The Freewheelin’, Bob Dylan’s second effort, showcases more of Dylan’s original works rather than covers and traditional songs, which is what most of his debut album was made up of. Right from the start you can tell that Dylan has a knack for poetic lyrics and just …

In my personal opinion, this is the most socially relevant usage of the stage musical in the history of the genre. It is a powerful love letter to Generation X that does not sugar coat the hardships faced by the LGBT community in the nineties, as well as …
