Train Of Consequences is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track opens up with a heavily palm-muted riff by Mustaine before a very ehavy bass line comes in beneath this. Mustaine comes in with the vocals which certainly has that characteristic snarl of his …

I first came across Adele during a period when my favourite artist, Amy Winehouse, was very quiet on the music front, I love a strong female vocalist and have felt drawn to the kind of music Amy created for a number of years.  After hearing Make You Feel My …

Charlie Manson Blues is a song by The Flaming Lips and the seventh track on their debut release, Hear It Is. Opening up with a driving distorted guitar riff, Charlie Manson Blues somewhat takes on the feel of Unplugged, but it isn’t simply a repetition of what the band …

Nickelback is a very popular group. Me and all my friends love them. I think their songs are great. I think they tell you about some people’s lives. Like their song ‘Faraway’, if you have seen the music video it tells about a fire fighter and about what would …

Clint Black: D’lectrified is an album done without the use of any electrical instruments; hence the title of the CD.
I’m not a huge fan of this country music singer, but I think I liked him better before he did the Celebrity Apprentice. He was a nice guy, …

I have been a fan of the Black Eyed Peas music for some time; I like the mix of hip-hop, pop and dance, and it is great music to have on my IPod while working out. I downloaded their new CD, —˜The E.N.D.” as soon as it came out, …

Produced by Erik Rutan and Cannibal Corpse, released on Metal Blade Records in 2006, this is the band’s 10th album, and first not to feature explicit artwork, they decided to put the artwork intended for the cover on the inside of the album. Unlike most albums by the band …

Alive is what happens when a band, their manager and their record label decide to take a chance on something they believe in. And rock and roll was never the same afterwards!

This album was released in 1994 on East west records and produced by Terry Date. The album features a controversial image of a man being drilled into his forehead, the album’s original artwork depicted a person being drilled in the anus and had to be changed to the drillbit …

Alejandro is the third single of the album Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. The video of Alejandro was released on 8th of June online worldwide.
And i think it is one of the greatest and craziest videos of Lady Gaga. There is monster theme again. The dancers, choreography, the outfits …

I first heard this band while my husband was playing a video game, of all things. They provided the soundtrack to several dance club scenes. Dark, sci-fi dance club scenes, that is. I then realized that they had a song on the Queen of the Damned …

In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …

Rust In Peace is Megadeth’s fourth album released in 1990 on Capital Records. The album could be my favorite by the band, it is really complex in every way, still as fast and aggressive as the previous albums, only deeper in lyrical matter and style this time around. Hangar …

The 21st century began with great news on the music world with the incarnation of some hard rock supergroups like “A Perfect Circle”, “Velvet Revolver” and “Audioslave”. This last one was created on 2001, when the remaining members of Rage Against the Machine (after Zack de la Rocha left …

Garden of Serenity by David & Steve Gordon is one of the few relaxing audio CDs that I did not enjoy. The reason I did not find this CD to be as relaxing or as peaceful is because the nature sounds on this CD are really much too loud …

I bought Aenima after i had loved Tool’s next album (Lateralus). I found that Aenima is just as good. When Aenima was released Tool was just a promising name in the hard rock genre, this album enstablished the band not only as a great name worldwide, blessed by sales …

All that remains is a death metal band and they are not as good as anybody thinks they are. They are a joke and I will tell you why they are a joke.
First off All that remains is a death metal band and that is how they started and …

Volunteers is the title track of an album released by Jefferson Airplane. The song starts off with a distorted rhythm by itself but is soon joined by drums, a lead guitar, bass, and a piano as well, so as you can imagine the sound is quite full. The vocals …

Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist is the penultimate track which appears on Absolution, a record by Muse. Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist is led by a guitar riff which Bellamy sings along to for the introduction and verse of this song before going into the chorus of the song …

Overview - Fresh Cream, Cream’s debut album, is an album mixed with psychedelic rock and also blues rock, with a lot of great musicianship in between. All the members of Cream really impressed me on this album: Jack Bruce had some excellent basslines that really left me wanting to …

Faryl Smith Album
In 2008 Faryl Smith stunned the many thousands of watchers on the TV Talent show Britain’s Got Talent. At the age of 13 who voice was truly unbelievable, in a good way that was, she had a voice just as good as the most known professionals in …

Ever had one of those moments when you see who is number 1 in the singles chart and when you see the artist you feel so far removed from mainstream music that you literally say, “Who?”.
I had one of these moments but thought I would have a listen to …

Digging Up Bones is one of the songs that Randy Travis does that really hits home with me. You see, to me the song is about a love that has ended but that I was not ready to end. When I was sixteen I met a man that was …

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a song by Iron Maiden which appears as the final track on The Number Of The Beast. Opening up with Bruce Dickinson singing along with pretty minimal instrumentation behind him, the song certainly establishes a fairly eerie atmosphere and the sense that something pretty …

Why are many musicians who move to the country music genre? After Bon Jovi, Joan Osborne, Darius Rucker and Jessica Simpson, Jewel also switched to country music. But perhaps among the names above, only the most fit Jewel singing country. Or maybe because the background of childhood from Jewel …

One of my favorite CDs now is The String Quartet Tribute to KISS. I love this CD for so many reasons. It combines a great band (KISS) with a string quartet that is so good. One chance at listening to this CD and chances are you …

Paranoid is a cover by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. Hopefully if you’re a fan of metal then you’ll know that the original version of this song is by Black Sabbath and that you’ve heard the track before. If not, then I’d highly recommend first listening …

Anyone compiling a collection of the ultimate collection of rock albums has to include this 1977 disc. I can still remember hearing this for the first time and being amazed that bands played like that. The foul language was shocking, especially the rant at the end of …

Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel is a song by The Flaming Lips and the third song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with Coyne shouting the vocals, I must say that right from the start, I think the Flaming Lips introduce far too dissonant of a …

Obviously, I’m a huge Celine Dion fan, otherwise, I wouldn’t own this album, which effectively chronicles the artists hit songs for an entire decade. But more than that, I just love to listen to all the songs in this album, since Dion always sings in a heartfelt manner.
She …

I like their …

The Suburbs is Arcade Fire’s third studio album, released in 2010, and probably my favourite out of all three of their albums. It’s been three years since their last release, and this album has been highly anticipated by all of Arcade Fire’s fans. The wait, in my opinion, is …

Album: It’s About Time

While I’m not a huge Queen fan, I do like several of their songs and believe their music is perfect for when I’m in the car trying to stay awake on my drive to work.
That’s why I was glad to find their Greatest Hits album on sale at Wal-mart …

One of my favourite music groups when I was younger was an international reggae band called “Third WOrld”. I find myself very priveliged to have actually be able to see them live then, and meet them after a performance, and they were one of the reasons why I decided …

As I write this, it’s Elvis Presley’s birthday. Had he lived longer, today would have been his 75th birthday. Death has not dimensioned his legacy or place on this earth, and that’s why there will always be new Elvis to buy. They’ll just keep repackaging the …

Mahogany Dust is a husband wife acoustic duo that does most spoken soul performances. But they just released an album called “Experience” that I was quite surprised by. That is because there is more production on the song that I expected. There are …

This thing is a beast plan and simple. More then enough power to rattle dishes in the china cabinet.
I was looking to upgrade from my Crate GX-130C to a tube amp. Short of selling limbs to get a Mesa or Engl head, I came across the Bugera.
They were …

When I think about all the single mothers in the world, I begin to think about my own mother. After she left my father, it was just me and my sisters and her living in this apartment that I can remember like it was yesterday. I was too young …

Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …

Hit Me Like You Did The First Time is a song by The Flaming Lips and the second song to appear on their fifth album, Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with a somewhat lighthearted pattern, Coyne thankfully comes in with a vocal performance which sounds …

Wake Me Up When September Ends, the final ballad from American Idiot proves that although Green Day may have faltered on previous ballads like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams or Are We The Waiting, they certainly pull it off very nicely in the end. As I have already said, whereas …

The song ‘Along Came Jones’ by Ray Stevens is a classic type of song. It seems to be modeled after an old western movie where the bad villain takes a hostage and is foiled by a hero. The hero typically saves the hostage and is able put …
