System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. (Song)
B.Y.O.B. the opening track of System Of A Down’s double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize is what I would consider to be among their most aggressive work throughout the past few records. The song opens up with a guitar riff by Malakian which is quite aggressive and quick before giving way to …
Bob Dylan - Shot Of Love (Song)
Shot Of Love is the title track for a record released by Bob Dylan. Shot Of Love begins with Dylan singing along with some background singers in sort of an echoing effect which isn’t too bad. To be honest, I like the full sound that Dylan achieves on this …
The John Lennon Collection
John Lennon will live on forever in his music. At this time when our nation is at war, it seems a mandate to re-explore the music of John Lennon and think about the themes of peace, love, and freedom.
The songs that move me the most in this collection …
Pink Floyd - Wot’s… Uh The Deal (Song)
Wot’s… Uh The Deal is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their record Obscured By Clouds. The track starts off with a very melodic acoustic guitar part which has an excellent feel and a great sound in my opinion, it also builds up very nicely for the …
Brokenheartsville - Joe Nichols
“Brokenheartsville” is a song by country music artist Joe Nichols. Joe Nichols has been active on the music scene for over 10 years now and has had such hits as “I Will Wait For You” and “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall off” However, in my opinion, this song stands …
Metallica: And Justice For All
This was the last great Metallica album that stuck to the original formula.It welcomes the newcomer Jason Newsted and turns Metallica into a universal power house.Ironically, you can’t hear Jason Newsted’s contribution to the album at all.However, what that leaves you with is some of the most brutal and …
Mumford & Sons - There Will Be Time (Song)
I’m not trying to be biased or anything but I think people should ought to know that I am among the biggest fans of Mumford & Sons in this planet. I literally own all of their albums, as well as other live performances because their music is so much …
Matt Nathanson’s “Modern Love” Album
Matt Nathanson’s newest album “Modern Love” is my favorite album of the year. I have never been a hardcore Matt Nathanson fan in the past. While I, like the rest of the Top 40 world, love “Car Crash” and “Come on Get Higher,” as a compilation, his latest album …
Album : Deicide - To Hell With God (2011)
My journey to discovering the all-out death metal assault that is DEICIDE was a long and winding one.. I’ll cut it short and just say that when i was pretty young i was introduced to AC/DC, and from there was always searching for the next heaviest thing and went …
Valleys of Neptune abum by Jimi Hendrix

Eruption by Eddie Van Halen
If you ever want to check out an awesome piece of guitar work, then I would suggest you listen to Eruption by Guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen. Released on the first Van Halen album, Eruption is 1 and a half minute instrumental album that Eddie originally used as a …
Beck - Modern Guilt
Following up the lackluster 2006 release “The Information” should not be a difficult thing for loser iconoclast Beck, but “Modern Guilt” is yet another disappointing effort in a period of artistic decline that began with 2005’s “Guero”. It was in 2005 that Beck began to recycle ideas he had …
Murray Street, 2002 Album by Sonic Youth
This is a very special album by a very special band, at least to me. This was actually the first Sonic Youth album I ever listened to. And the music on this album attracted me. It drew me into an entirely different world. I got really interested in the …
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 …
System of a Down The Hypnotize Album
Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …
Alice In Chains - Man in the Box (song)
“Man in the Box” is the song that garnered Alice in Chains attention in the early 90’s. The song was released on their 1990 album “Facelift” but was released as a single in 1991. Alice in Chains without a doubt is considered the heaviest band out of the Big …

Erich Kunzel: Star Tracks II CD
Erich Kunzel: Star Tracks II CD is a very nice compilation of various science fiction compositions. Kunzel and his Cincinnati Pops Orchestra are so good at conveying the spirit and excitement of the TV shows and/or movies the selections are from.

Bye Bye By JoDee Messina
This is a very upbeat song that conveys the power of a woman and her dignity. In the song, the woman is saying that she will no longer wait for her man to make up his mind as to whether he wants to stay with her or not. She …
Carnival Ride by Carrie Underwood
I think there’s nothing that this sweet lady can’t do. Carnival Ride by Carrie Underwood is something that Carrie’s fans should listen to. I love the CD cover album; all yellowish looking and filled with beautiful and smiling Carrie.

Forty Acres by Red Sovine
The song Forty Acres by Red Sovine makes me think of something I would sing. I can definitely relate to this song when I was learning how to drive a five ton truck and deuce n half for the National Guard. When I first learned how to drive a …

Scars On Broadway - Serious (Song)
Serious is the opening song of Scars On Broadway’s self-titled debut record. As this being the first record, some fans were not sure what to expect from Daron Malakian, whether he’d go with the sound that he had in System Of A Down or whether he’d go in a …
Three Dollar Bill, Yall, 1997 Album by Limp Bizkit
There is something really special about this album. There are many people out there who do not appreciate Limp Bizkit that much. But I am guessing that those people will find less of the stuff they could object to on this record. For me personally, this album is probably …
Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper
Time After Time is a song by Cyndi Lauper. The song was recorded back in the 1980s, but it is still such a great hit. Cyndi has another version, which is like an unplugged performance, and it is live. I really prefer this version, but it remains a fact …
MGMT - We Don’t Care (Song)
We Don’t Care is the final track on MGMT’s debut record, Climbing To New Lows. What’s interesting about this song is that I suppose it’s paired with We Care, the first “real” song on this record. As I said in my review of We Care, what I liked about …
Screamin Blues Digitech pedal
This guitar pedal by digitech has to be one of the best investments I have made in my musical life. I love how you can play a nice simple scale on a regular clean setting and then immediately stomp on the pedal, yielding a more sustain and distorted sound. …
Untouchables, 2002 Album by Korn
It is strange for me to realize that this album was released more than ten years ago now. It makes me realize how my teenage years are rather far behind way in the past now. I just remember buying and listening to this album as if it was really …
The Stooges album “The Weirdness” (2006)
I didn’t think it was really fair to go posting this album review after only one listen (after all, this is The Stooges we’re talking about, not Gwen Stefani or something). Incidentally, after first listening to this record my friend and I also indulged …
Sami Yusuf (Nasheed singer)
Sami Yusuf is a great nasheed singer. He is one of the best worldwide. When I listen to the songs of his first album Al Muallim (Supplication) I got so carried away with it. He sings so beautifully and the deep sincerity in his voice has a soothing effect …

“Let it Rain” by Anthony Evans
We all know that when it comes down to great singers, gospel singers are among the best. Almost all the major artists out there have their roots in the church. But Anthony Evans is definitely an exception. He is not just a talented singer, but he himself is a …

Muse - Sober (Song)
Sober is a track which appears on Muse’s debut record, Showbiz. Sober is written about alcoholism, as I suppose the name would suggest, and Sober is one of the first songs of Muse that I listened to. I remember listening through their entire debut record and Sober was one …
The Doors

Shania Twain’s ” The Woman In Me”. A Music Album

Get Right of Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is very popular as singer/musician as well as actress. But especially I like her song “Get right”. It is something that could very well be her best track to date she has produced. Not only me think so. In 2005 she sold 1 million copies of the …
Humbug, 2009 Album by Arctic Monkeys
I would not say that this album is superb but I think that it is quite good. It is definitely good enough for Arctic Monkeys. All the songs on this album are a lot more mature than the songs that the band used to perform on the previous albums. …
