Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster”
Many people would say Lady Gaga’s new album “The Fame Monster” is not a good album. I can see where they are coming from. There are only eight different songs, and it is hard to understand any of them. However, to me, it is quickly becoming one of my …
Animal Collective - Tikiwid (Song)

In the song Montana off the Apostrophe album Zappa explains his life as if he were a cattle rancher in the state of Montana. The vocals in this song are interesting because Frank utilizes a lot of metaphors like dental floss being compared to rope it’s kind of funny. …
2010 X-Factor Finalists - Hero - Single
I have mixed feelings about the X-Factor finalists Hero song. I appreciate that it was all for a very good cause with all money raised going to Help The Heroes, but this is done each year in some format or another and whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I do …
Sledding With Tigers - Valentimes Is Serious Times (Song)

MIA-Aurlar CD
Take some urban music, and give it a tribal undertone and you’ll have a good bit of the sound that is Aurlar. This is the first album by MIA, and its a doozy. When I first heard this album i was reminded of the type of world …
My home’s in Alabama
The song ‘My home’s in Alabama’ is by the group Alabama. It is a good song that makes you think of home where ever that may be. For me it reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was a kid and the fact that we …
When 2 R In Love (by Prince)
This is perhaps one of the most underrated songs that Prince has ever written. On his LoveSexy album, this song is the epitome of intimacy. The lyrics have this way of getting under your skin. Perhaps it’s the quiet inensity of Prince’s voice. Perhaps it’s …
Savage Garden
I love all of Savage Garden Songs; I bought their CDs, bought their extra albums and enjoyed every hit that made it to the charts. Their first hit was “To the moon and back”, with a different twist to the song’s melody and is kind of unique to be …
Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu (Song)
The Call Of Ktulu, the first instrumental by Metallica, is the second track on Ride The Lightning where I feel Metallica truly prove that they’re a lot more than simply a thrash band, these musicians certainly knew what they were doing (The first song I felt this with was …
The Who - Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand (Song)

Let Me In song
From their The Plan CD, a project from the early 70’s that was done with much passion, Let Me In is one of my two favorite songs from this album. The album itself tells the story of the The Osmonds’ religious beliefs. Now one of the cool …
Green Day - Private Ave. (Song)

Alicia keys - if I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you from Alicia Keys is a song that can become a lifetime soundtrack in my life. Though the song is pretty long ago, but it still great to listen it everytime.
The lyrics and the music both is so great and touch. Like the other …
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson CD album is unique. The title of this CD is also Jennifer Hudson. She is such an amazing singer, it’s no wonder that she has won an award before. Her voice is so precious and awesome and I felt sorry for her from the bottom …
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - You Got Me Floatin’
You Got Me Floatin’ is a track by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on Axis: Bold As Love. The track starts off with some backwards guitar effects to give a psychedelic tone to the song, but overall I’d say that this is more of just a rock driven …
Defense Remix (song by, Machel Montano feat. Lil John & Pitbull)
I first heard the song entitled Defense on a local radio station and I was instantly hooked to it. This was mainly because of the background music which is just addictive and just makes you feel like getting up and dancing as soon as you hear it. It wasn’t …
Start a Band
I think the song and video titled “Start A Band” with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley is a cute, upbeat song. The music and lyrics blend very nicely.
I didn’t realize they had collaborated. I think they have done a good job with the song. Their voices blend …
The Grateful Dead - Anthem Of The Sun
Overview - Anthem Of The Sun, the second album by The Grateful Dead, departs from the simplistic songwriting that The Dead showcased on their self-titled debut album and departs into more experimental and complex songs.

All Mixed Up by 311

Truly awesome and I love the lyrics as well. Even though it laced at nothingness, the song …
Rihanna
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 …
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (1981)
Probably the weakest Pink Floyd album ever. Actually, it’s not even a Pink Floyd album, maybe only in name, because it’s written, produced and perfomed by Roger Waters. I see it as a the third CD to the Wall pretty much, since it has the same style, musically. Thematically …
Taylor Swift’s song, “You belong with me”
Taylor Swift’s song called, “You belong with me” is an extremely touching song that most teenagers can relate to.

System Of A Down - War? (Music Video)
Overview —“ War, as it’s name suggests is a song all about War, a topic that System Of A Down has explored multiple and various times throughout their career, probably at least once on each album. Generally I’d get sick about listening to the same topic if it kept …
Album : Megadeth - Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying (1986)

His Silent Film - Lower Definition
Rock music seems to have sprouted an absolute ton of different genres over the years, and one of these more current genres is the mixing of a metal like sound with a younger, almost pop sounding singer. Most of the time, it creates music that seems out of place …
You Save Me by Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney sings this song called You Save Me. It is about how his wife or girl friend saves him from getting into more and more trouble. It kinds of relates to the old saying that behind every good man there is a great woman somewhere pushing him along …
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 …
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Song)
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 …

Faith Hill

Andrew Jackson Jihad - Free Bird (Song)
Free Bird is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad and is the penultimate track on their 2011 release, Knife Man. Though at first, I thought this might be some type of unorthodox cover of the iconic track from Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you can rest assured that this is another …
Radiohead - Just (Song)
Just is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second album, The Bends. The track opens up briefly with an acoustic guitar pattern which continues playing despite a lead guitar part coming in over it which creates an interesting sound. I must say that I wished Radiohead would …

The Bone Thugs cd “Strenth And Loyality” is the first major Bone Thugs cd to be released since they parted ways with Ruthless Records for Full Surface and Swizz Beats. If you have been a Bone fan for a long time you will notice the changes, DJ U-Neek is …
Bright Lights, Big City Album
Few people outside of the professional musical theatre world have yet to experience “Bright Lights, Big City.” Although some productions of this new show (a rock-musical with music and lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman) have begun to spring up in such cities as Philadelphia, the off-Broadway run of this …
Pet Shop Boys (music group)
One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …
Tegan and Sara: Sainthood

The sleak flloyd rose guitar from Aria is an amazing guitar and suits a range of people, from beginners to advanced. It’s crafted fretboard is easy for a range of techniques from bending to tapping. It’s weight isn’t that bad, ideal for carrying round a stage etc. The paintwork …
The Smashing Pumpkins - Suffer (Song)
Suffer is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the sixth track on their debut record, Gish. Opening up with a simple drum rhythm, the remaining instrumentation soon joins in the mix as well as Corgan’s vocals. For some reason, I’m slightly reminded of The End, a song …
Bad As Me, 2011 Album by Tom Waits
