Kunst, 2013 Album by KMFDM
I think that this album is one of the albums by KMFDM that you can listen to but I wouldn’t describe it in any ways as essential. This band is releasing an album every two years, and I’ve always thought that there might be the danger of them simply …
Eminem - Relapse
I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)
Eminem comes back after a very long pause (at least for me). Since the “Encore” which was released in 2004 …
Good Charlotte
My opinion of this band has changed dramatically over time. When I was about 14, I loved this band. I got their album “The Young and the Hopeless” for my 14th birthday and fell in love with it. Then I got their first album and loved that one too. …
Metallica And Lou Reed - Brandenburg Gate (Song)

The Grateful Dead - New, New Minglewood Blues (Song)

The Rolling Stones - The Lantern (Song)
The Lantern is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request. I’ll say right now that The Lantern has an extremely odd structure which makes describing this song somewhat difficult because the track is extremely unpredictable and is constant changing in ways …
TVXQ
I thought myself over and over that I’m surely cursed. That’s because I was not into any of Korean boy-bands, moreover Tvxq that I thought they were good for nothing, but I guess I was wrong and (cursed) because lately I’ve been addicted and listening to their songs every …
The Fender G-DEC 30 Amplifier
I tried out the Fender G-DEC 30 Amp at guitar center and I was most impressed. Here is an amp that kept me playing for hours. What I loved most about this digital amplifier was the drum loops it offered. It has a wide range …
Static - X Cannibal
Cannibal (2006) is the fifth album by Static-X and in my opinion the band’s most aggressive and best album yet, while many bands in their position would make a horrible experimental album, Static-X makes an even heavier album, with better guitar solos, and a faster tempo. The album was …

American punk-rock band Green Day released their latest album in 2009. 21st Century Breakdown takes the group further along their progression towards conventional, radio-friendly pop-rock, but with a more grand, “classic rock” style which gives the work a little more credibility. It has three, five-track long “acts”, …
Megadeth - Almost Honest (Music Video)
Overview —“ Almost Honest, another music video and single released by Megadeth for their album Cryptic Writings is a song that seems to actually really remind me of Trust. I’ve read a bit on similarities between the two, but I have to say that I actually do agree and …
Sounds of the Earth: Waterfall - Sounds Of The Earth Series
Sounds of the Earth: Waterfall - Sounds Of The Earth Series is an audio CD that does not sound like much as it only offers the constant sound of waterfalls. However, I find that listening to the sound of falling water to be quite relaxing and pleasant. The recording …
Bob Dylan - Sara (Song)
Sara is a song by Bob Dylan which is the final track on his album Desire. I’ll be honest and admit right now that this is one of my favorite Dylan songs throughout his entire catalogue. The track starts off with a somewhat ominous tone before leading into a …
Muse - Invincible (Song)
I’m been listening to Invincible by Muse over and over for the last few days so I figured that I just had to write a review about it. The reason I started listening to the song was because Bellamy’s guitar solo on this track was praised so heavily for …
Green Day - ¿Viva La Gloria? Little Girl (Song)
¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl) is a song by Green Day which appears on their record 21st Century Breakdown. Just as a note, don’t confuse this track with the other Viva La Gloria which is the fourth track of the record and has more of a driving sound to …

Airplanes Pt. 2 - B.o.B ft. Eminem & Hayley Williams
Great and Inspirational. That are just two words of the very many that I could come up with to describe this fantastic song. This is a second version of the song “Airplanes”. It includes its original artists B.o.B and Hayley Williams of Paramore, but it also includes Eminem, a …
The Rolling Stones - Black Limousine (Song)
Black Limousine is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Tattoo You. The track starts off with a clear blues rhythm and right away you definitely get the sense that this will be a blues-rock song. I don’t mind this at all since it’s better …
Barry Manilow CD
Hearing Barry Manilow sing songs from the 70’s was spine-tingling. He’s not only a musical product of the 70’s himself, but he chose some very popular songs of that era to sing for this CD. All the songs are familiar, yet more-so with Barry’s warm vocals. The songs seem …
Stone Sour CD
Stone Sour is what i would describe an alternative metal band. Their second album’s title is Come What(ever) May from Roadrunner Records. It came out on August 1 of this year. I picked this up, but not because their lead vocalist is Corey Taylor or not because one of …
Scars On Broadway - World Long Gone (Song)

Pain Is a Warning, Studio album by Today Is the Day
Love him or hate him, Steve Austin knows how to make music. And when it comes to releasing the ninth and hopefully not last record, Pain is Warning, I am reminded on how much of a creative genius Steve Austin can be. Think of Austin as an underground music …

On Letting Go - Circa Survive
I recently purchased Circa Survive’s second full album, On Letting Go. This high anticipated sophomore release easily met and surpassed my expectations. The band has grown tremendously, and the listener can feel it. All members are in such complete sync together, that one could easily tell that all 5 …
Icona Pop (music group)
The first time that I remember hearing any song at all from the music group Icona Pop, was back when those commercials for the company “Shoe Dazzle” were just getting popular. I literally paused what I was doing just to see the shoes, and then found myself Googling the …
Green Day - The Static Age (Song)
The Static Age is a track by Green Day which appears on their most recent album, 21st Century Breakdown. The song opens up with an interesting drum rhythm from Cool before Dirnt and Armstrong join in on their respective instruments and play over this drum rhythm. I will admit …
Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin
One of Led Zeppelin’s semi know song is the track Heatrbreaker off their second album, Led Zeppelin 2. I like this song because it has that signature riff throughout the sing that is played in octaves. It really has that late 60’s tone to it and Robert Plant’s vocals …
Step Up 3d Soundtrack Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Song)
When I watched the movie Step Up 3d there was a scene in which the actors where all breakdancing and the main actress and actor were showing their moves together, and the song had a really beat to it and it really stuck on my mind. I searched for …

The Night Striker Complete Album offers a complete experience, as …
The Chainsmokers - Roses (feat. ROZES)
To be honest, I never heard any The Chainsmokers before this. But I think this song has gained enough momentum ever since my friend let me listen to it more than 3 months ago.
Songs always take time to grow, but for this case, I instantly liked it upon first …
Temples of Boom, 1995 Album by Cypress Hill
When I got hold of this album I honesty did not expect to be that good. It so happened that I first got acquainted with Cypress Hill albums released in 1999 and 2000, and only then moved on to their earlier releases. And, the early releases were rather good, …
The Flaming Lips - Everything’s Explodin’ (Song)
Everything’s Explodin’ is a song by The Flaming Lips and the opening track of their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a heavy guitar riff, the percussion violently enters the mix as the song begins to establish its main rhythm. To be honest, I was not personally …
“Thank Me Later” by Drake

Recovery by Eminem
It can take a lot to make a comeback. Sometimes it takes something as simple as a new look. Other times it takes sheer determination and effort. And then there are times when it takes a little something extra.
But for Eminem, a comeback seemed like a distant dream
In 2009, …
Illmatic - Nas
I thought that the 1994 Illmatic by rapper Nas was a classic and is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. At the time, Nas was a relatively unknown artist and west coast gangsta rap artists were dominating the hip hop scene such as Dr. Dre, …
