Fitter Happier is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. Opening up in a very unorthodox manner, the track features a robotic voice reading off some words which is actually very prominent throughout the majority of this track. After the robotic voice goes on for …

I was digging through some of my CDs the other day, looking for something different to listen to in the car (we don’t have decent radio stations here). I ended up coming across my Joe Diffie: Third Rock from the Sun album and ended up listening to that.
I have …

Lips Of An Angle by Hinder is a song I like because it talks about how a guy still has feelings for this other girl and it goes into details about how this girl gives the guy a phone call and the guys girl does not know it is …

‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ is the new song from Kelly Clarkson. First time I hear this single, I didn’t realize that this is Kelly Clarkson’s song because its sounds a little bit different for me.
This song is still bring the pop rock melodic, but I think this …

Bounce is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second album, Toxicity. Right from the start the song is extremely aggressive and Tankian matches the intensity of the music with his own vocal delivery. The track is pretty hectic, although to no extreme sense, it …

With her video, “Single Ladies: Put A Ring On It” attracting over 45,000,000 views on YouTube, it’s no reason why Beyonce Knowles is securing her spot as the number one “Diva” on the music charts. I tried to ask myself why the video was so important, so I watched …

Pink’s Raise Your Glass single is I daresay, the artist’s best so far. No doubt about it, she has had so many hits before, but as a huge Pink fan, I think this single is the one that sticks in memory the most. I can …

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 …

The Fulltone OCD is an overdrive pedal in the same mold as a Boss Bluesdriver or an Ibanez Tubescreamer. Every fulltone pedal is made by hand, and therefore expensive, but the quality is always worth it.
The Fulltome OCD pedal is the best overdrive I’ve ever gotten out of a …

HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss seemed to believe they would capture the public’s imagination with this second LP but it didn’t work out that way despite its high quality.
Better than some have suggested.
This one also didn’t sell when first released but greater things was soon to come. Album contains Gene Simmons’ …

Fresh out of Generation X, Billy Idol certainly hit the ground running with his eponymous solo debut. While I wouldn’t consider it his masterpiece (that would be his follow-up tour de force Rebel Yell), there are still a lot of great songs here which I still enjoy as immensely …

I am not thoroughly familiar with Kanye West’s previous works, but I have listened to his recently released single with Rihanna, “Famous” and I can definitely say that this man is some kind of a genius!
I can certainly remember the time when everyone was angry with Rihanna and him …

It seems like the world is now ready for the new Justin Bieber. I was not completely sold on his previous discography because he sounded like a try-hard twink trying to make it big. Of course he made it big, thanks to the fan girls all around the world …

I Remember Learning How To Dive is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track to appear on their 2005 EP, Prospect Hummer. Opening up with an incredibly simple percussive pattern, Bunyan rejoins the recording and contributes the vocals to the track with a multi-layered vocal delivery. …

I do really love the music of Geoff Bullock II particularly his album “The Power of Your Love.” Listening to the album “Power of Your Love” will give you a one of a kind worship experience. The album is full of awesome and soul-reviving worship songs which include the …

It was my mother who first told me about the R&B music group “Debarge” even though I had heard their music playing sometimes on the radio over the years. I was familiar with a few of their songs, and while I had heard them playing, I just was not …

Last Sunday afternoon, I was trying to create my heroine’s character for yet another sappy romance novel I am yet to submit to my editor. The house was so quiet so I decided to open the media player on my laptop and a random song played from my song …

The Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill soundtrack CD is one of my favorites. This Disney movie starred Patrick Swayze as the legendary Pecos Bill, and it’s full of magic and adventure. The music expresses the wonder of heroes and the growing up of a …

Oh boy oh boy, here we are at Chapter 17 of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” saga, or should I say “Trapped in the Restaurant”? Because that’s where we’ve been for the past four episodes (Episode 14, Episode 15, Episode …

Burnt Ice is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album United Abominations. The track starts off with an extremely quick guitar solo and a pounding rhythm behind this solo. The solo isn’t that great but I guess it’s an alright way to start off the song. Mustaine …

This musical album is really good on several levels. It offers not a single thing to the listener, but it has several good sides.
This album is inspired by stories of Edgar Allan Poe. And in this way it is rather more than a conventional rock record. It should definitely …

I always love tune to a good dance music. And in this Pulse album, there’s lots of reason to dance and at the same time, exercise. This CD album features lots of CD compilation albums and certainly every track gives me some kind of adrenaline pumping and …

I don’t think I still need to spell it out…just by the name Led Zeppelin you will know how great and how amazing this album can be, you will just unconsiously tell yourself “this is going to be an incredible album!”.
The BBC Session Album is my most favorite remastered …

Shinedown made their debut back in 2003 with an impressive album titled “Leave A Whisper”.The album is a unique journey into the heart of four musicians who blend their creative outlook, philosophy, and positive message into an unrelenting melody.Rarely, does a band come along that has the power to …

Parabol is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. I’m not extremely familiar with Tool’s music but I’ve been trying lately to see how they are so we’ll see how this goes. The track starts off with what sounds to me to be a bass playing …

Essentially, Pat Boone’s Gold Label CD is a sampler of multiple artists and songs that are available through his website. This group of performances represents various styles of music, so it makes for 35-40 minutes of music appreciation. There are even a couple of instrumental hits on …

Pretty Peggy-O is a traditional song which is covered by Bob Dylan that appears on his self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that the version of this song which I was always familiar with was the version by The Grateful Dead, a version which I actually enjoy quite …

Feel So Good is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Bark. The track opens up with a piano part which has a nice moving rhythm before a guitar lead comes in over it and a bass line comes in as well which supplies depth and …

This little amp really packs a wallop. But the only problem I have is that the sound doesn’t have enough bass for my taste. The overdrive is very sharp and crisp. And this particular model is very very good for extremely crunchy guitar riffs. …

The name for the whole music group and not the lead singer, Deborah Harry, as many suspect, Blondie is one of the most accessible punk groups of the 70’s.
At fist glance, this collection appears to be a complete package of their most successful singles. However, some of the versions …

Tom Jones: The Ultimate Collection is a four CD set that comes in a red box with a smiling picture of the Welsh singer on the cover. The box is really lightweight cardboard and is vulnerable to damage. It’s not how a collection like this should be …

This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …

I myself do enjoy listening to several Christian hymns. Not always due to the fact that they are religious, but to the fact that I love the sounds of the music and the voices, it makes me very relaxed and calm. I have been looking all over the internet for …

This is an ambitious work from a long-standing fan favorite. When Green Day emerged with silly punk tunes ten years ago, no one would have ever imagined they would rise to such heights. This is an epic work. While it does have songs that are easily …

Welcome To Paradise, one of Green Day’s most well known songs is a track which appears on Dookie. Aside from the tracks which are on American Idiot then I’d actually probably say that Welcome To Paradise, or Longview, would be the most well known Green Day song, and with …

Seek And Destroy, the penultimate track off of Kill —˜Em All, has to be one of the most well known songs from Metallica throughout their whole career and certainly, along with The Four Horsemen, the most well known song off of Kill —˜Em All. …

“Satisfy You”
Forever

Here Comes The Indian is the fourth studio record released by Animal Collective. Overall, the impression I get from Here Comes The Indian is that it sounds almost if they’re trying to recreate the melodic and relaxing atmosphere they established on Campfire Songs, but this time do it with …

Right Now is a song by The Flaming Lips and the second track on their third release, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with a dissonant and messy guitar lead, the drums quickly enter the mix to try to give the song some clarity while maintaining this unconventional lead. As the …

Beginning To See The Light is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album of the same name. The track opens up with a guitar riff and Lou Reed wasting no time with the accompanying vocals joining in immediately as well. Reed’s vocal melody throughout the …

I am a very huge fan of bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation and other Symphonic Metal bands, and I am warming up to another band called Delain. What started my interest in Delain was this song called “The Gathering”. As a huge Nightwish fan, I was introduced to it …

I really love my music and one of the artists that really stand out for me is Sade. I think she is one of the greatest musicians plying her trade in the entertainment world and I really rate her to be in a class of her own.
