Remember when the Mumford-constructed song “Ho Hey” became a huge worldwide hit last 2012? Well, I still could but I never listened to it more than twice. I am a huge fan of Mumford & Sons and I think copying their signature sound wouldn’t do a band any good. …

Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate?

This was released in 2003, 29 songs in all. Right up front, the only problem I think this live video had, was that Rush, for some reason, felt the need to inlcude a loud mix of the audience singing along on the final audio mix of the DVD. …

When you heard about Paramore, I’m sure you will feel emo with this band, with their song or their style. They made many song that really rock when I hear it. This song, we are broken is different compare with the other song. It’s melodic is slower and don’t …

Overview —“ Trust, the lead-off song of Megadeth’s seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a video and song that I remember being praised and gaining a lot of airplay on MTV so I’m curious to see if I agree with that opinion. I’ll admit that the albums between Countdown To …
