Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

Normally B.C. Rich doesn’t compare to other big time companies like Fender, but with this guitar it beats Fender any day. Some of its features include: Wrap-around bridge, A great paintjob that will take forever to wear out, and Dual BDSM Humbukkers. Not to mention it is INCREDIBLY light …

We Will Rock you, a Queen song that could get any crowd going. With Freddie and the front this was even easier. The hand clapping and the way in which Freddie opens this are synonymous with the track. You hear this intro and people just stop because they know …

Diamond Joe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. Right from the opening section of this track, Dylan’s vocal tone really doesn’t appeal to me very much but then again he went through a long period where his vocal …

April 8th is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate song on their debut album On Avery Island. Though Three Peaches, another song on this album, had a pretty dark and sad sound to it, I must say that April 8th is easily the darkest track …

One alternative song from the 90’s that wedged in my mind. It became the official soundtrack of the movie Empire Records. The movie was weird, even the casts, that is why I will not forget about this song. Gin Blossom is an American rock band that popularly sang Hey …

Come Thirsty CD of The Perrys was accidentally discovered by me when I was looking for the lyrics to the song “Mary For a While”. I got so in love with this beautiful song that really touched my heart and soul. Further I was really so fascinated with the …

Naomi is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which appears on their first full length release, On Avery Island. Opening up with a strumming guitar pattern and simple percussive rhythm, Magnum comes in with the vocals for the first verse pretty quickly and I must say that I like …

Most know Zack de la Rocha as the vocalist of the well known political rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine. Only some know him as the former front-man of Inside Out, a lesser known hardcore punk band, as well. During their somewhat-short time as a band, Inside Out released …

Don’t matter by Akon is a song about how a guy and a girl are together but nobody wants them to be together. This song is my favorite but Akon is a nut now. This song is about a relationship the guy and the girl want to last …

I first discovered the band Korn in I think about 2000. It was when had seen the video for Freak on a Leash on MTV, and I remember thinking it was the heaviest type of rock music I had ever heard. I thought the video was amazing and mystifying …

Rihanna has come into the musical industry with quite a bang. And although she hasn’t been that instantly famous as some superstars had been, right fro the start, she has been really working hard to get to the top. From her first album, she was known to a few …

Telephone is a song by Lady Gaga which appears on her album The Fame Monster. The track opens up with a fairly quiet mood which serves as a nice contrast to the majority of the track which is much more lively and energetic. I think that a nice thing …

If you are looking for some different music to listen to, I would strongly suggest the album put out in 2003, by Nine Days. This is the band that brought you “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” back in 2001, and they’ve continued making music since then, even though …

This record is magnificent, it is brilliant. The Fragile is definitely one of the most interesting music albums I have ever come across. The previous NIN album was good, but this record, The Fragile has many features which are absent on The Downward Spiral. It has a lot more …

The acacia strain band is a metal band whose music is actually quite decent but they can improve on a few things. I like the acacia strain because they can really belt out some deep growls and their voices sound scary when they are belting out metal. I can’t …

Subliminal-just when you thought it was over
Subliminal’s new/ not so new album is something that was destined to get mixed reviews. On one hand, he continues his legacy of excellence and presents us with well crafted and executed songs. On the other hand, it is clear that …

This Elvis Presley album realeased by RCA AFL in 1985, Always On My Mind, was a hard one to find for me. I already have most of the songs on other Elvis albums, but since it’s Elvis, I still wanted it nonetheless.
I do find myself a bit disappointed, though. …

Obscured By Clouds is the title track of a record released by Pink Floyd. I should first mention that this song is an instrumental from start to finish so if you aren’t one for instrumentals, particularly slower paced ones, then this wouldn’t be a track that you would really …

The Unforgiven III, the third installment in The Unforgiven series, is quite a good song yet I’d probably still rank it as the lowest, or at least my least favorite, of the three pieces of the trilogy. However, before I get into the bulk of my review, I …

After System of a Down broke up, the lead singer Serj Tankian decided to do his own solo album and after a bit of a wait, we got Elect the Dead. In all honestly, while I would have preferred a regular System of a Down album over this, this …

Insane Clown Posse are on of my current favorite bands, and one of the only bands I like that are �new age� in their sound, that being Horrorcore, a sub-genre of Hip-Hop. They have memorable songs left, right and center and are simply indescribable, they jump genre with most …

This album is a fantastic work of musical art. There are some moments that clearly have weak spots. Some songs should have been on the album from my point of view because they are not consistent and high quality enough, but the main course, the central piece of the …

Once in a while a band/artist comes along and totally shakes the foundations of conventional and un-conventional art. In this case, the band is Tool, and the art form in qustion is music. The album in question is Lateralus, a monolithic epic album that transcends all conventional boundries and …

I was scared off by Slipknot for a long time, I think because they’re one of those bands that wear masks. Even though I like hard rock, for some reason, masks will make me not want to listen to a band every time. But I’m glad I …

Silverchair is a crappy band and they have always been a crappy band and too start things off the way the lead singer sounds is horrible. He has always had a very annoying voice and it sounded scratchy in m opinion and he never sounded good whether it was …
