When I first heard the songs in the album Destination Anywhere, I feel less like the kind of music played by Jon Bon Jovi and accompanying musicians. At first, I was quickly bored with the composition of the tone that I find seem monotonous. This is very different from …

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, pretty much the second half of Holiday, serves as an excellent contrast to Holiday which I will explain. It’s been said that the two songs are meant to be looked as basically one piece of music where Holiday is the party and Boulevard Of Broken …

Aspiring rock Gods everywhere, listen up. If you can’t afford a pricy electric guitar but still want to rock like Hendrix, then the iAXE USB Electric Guitar is just what you’ve been looking for. It plugs directly into your computers USB port and plays just like the real thing, …

YES are another one of those bands that help to prove that the seventies was the creative peak of music as we know it. I’m not one of those people that thinks new music is bad, i just know that the expressionism in music is nowhere near today like …

The song Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn reminds me of something sung by at true red neck from the backwoods. It has a certain swinging beat that will drive you to stomp your foot or tap you finger to the restless beat. This type of music has a …

From being Disney’s pop sensation “Hannah Montana”, Miley Cyrus took a radical change and now claims she “Can’t be tamed”. Her second album as herself, entitled “Can’t be Tamed”, includes 12 brand new songs, all of which I found catchy. Here’s an idea of what to expect from each …

The CD Evan and Jaron (this is the name of the group and the name of the album) was my first rock CD, although it is really just pop with a rock feel. Like pop, the music seems over-synthesized, with too many extra or computer-generated instruments. It …

Dying Days is a song by The Screaming Trees. This song can be found on their album “Dust” and their greatest hits album. I find it kind of ironic that the Screaming Trees have a greatest hits album because they really seem to be an underrated band. Nevertheless I …

Vein Of Stars is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album At War With The Mystics. The song opens up in a melodic fashion and has an airy and free atmosphere created by the basic instrumentation present. A guitar chord pattern soon comes in which …

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 …

The King Of Carrot Flowers Pts. 2 And Three is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the second song on their sophomore effort, In the Aeroplane Over The Sea. Picking up where the previous song, The King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, left off, this track opens …

After the Success of the band last album this left them with more freedom on Lullabies, they got rid of Nick Oliveri, this is unfortunate but doesn’t slow the band down any, Troy Van Leeuwen of A perfect Circle fame (among many other bands he’s been in), Joey Castillo …

One of the tracks off of the Appetite for Destruction album that is underrated by many people but known to GNR fans is the song, Mr.Brownstone. This song is a pretty killer track and it has a heavy punch with an average tempo to it. The song starts …

As a classical enthusiast and performer myself, I have a large CD library with around nine or ten recordings of the infamous, devilishly difficult Sibelius Violin Concerto. Joshua Bell is one of my favorite violinists, and a friend gave me a CD of him playing the Sibelius and …

The sophomore jinx? No, not for this band. Soundgarden’s second album, Louder Than Love is a testament to their domination over pretenders at the time. And one song says it better than any: Big Dumb Sex. The title alone is intriguing enough that it warrants a listen.
There are some …

I think that the Blade Soundtrack rocks! I bought this a couple years ago when the movie Blade came out. This CD has everything. It has some good rap songs as well as some great club songs and dance songs. I really like the cool dance songs that were played …

I can only say one thing. Amazing! This CD has broken new ground for the band. I think it’s a masterpiece. When I first heard that Anberlin was switching record companies, I was kind of disappointed. I thought that they would be rushed to release a CD for …

The Fame Monster was released as a double CD, with all of the songs from The Fame on disc 1 and the new released songs exclusive to The Fame Monster on disc 2. It can definitely be seen to be a lot darker than the first album, but in …

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 …

This album catapulted the band to worldwide fame, but I personally do not find the album all the strong. I think that this album has a very deep discrepancy between the different songs on it. Some of the songs are impressive and deserved to become the hits that they …

Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein is a 1996 E.P. by the black metal band Cradle of filth. This was released on cacophonous records to fulfill the band contractual obligation. This is the band’s second release, it is better then the previous album in some ways, the vocals are …

Black Muddy River is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record In The Dark. The track starts off with various instruments which have a fairly slow tempo and give the song somewhat of a country sound to it, although not to a huge extent, once …

The all male musical group Boys II Men was an African AMerican soul music group who was for the most part poular from the early to late Nineteen Nineties. Thus I would hear their songs throughout my childhood being played on the radio, and I would even see their …

Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

5432Fun is a song by Sledding With Tigers and the third track to appear on their second release, The Hill Sheep. Opening up with the familiar chorus of vocals which has become characteristic to the sound of Sledding With Tigers, 5432Fun quickly transitions into a section which is surprisingly …

Planet Telex is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second album, The Bends. Opening up with some noise effects, the normal instrumentation comes in quickly enough but also has an effect over it which gives it a delayed and reverberated type of sound. Yorke’s vocals come into …

I got this bass as my first instrument. All i can say is wow. it is beautiful. It is simple and perfect for learning on. The structural integrity of this bass is so amazing for how cheap it was. Its great for a beginner that trying to figure out …

At first, I was going to write a bad review for Placebo’s new track “Battle For the Sun” off the album of the same name. Then I took a chance to hear it for a second time. It wasn’t as bad as the first time I’d heard it when I …

I was 16 (now I’m 21) when I started listening to The Cranberries. They were the ones who made me like music in general, and they’re the ones I’ll probably always hold in my heart. And that is why I’m really biased when it comes to this particular band, …

Holocene is a song by Bon Iver which appears on their second self-titled record. The track opens up with a sound very characteristic to Bon Iver: a guitar establishes a very melodic atmosphere which is soon sung over by a delicate voice which accompanies and suits the guitar’s opening …

Quite a dirty song, I must say but the beat is nice. It has been quite awhile that I hear this song by Britney on the radio and I was guessing pretty much that the title would have to be Toxic, since it has been mentioned quite a lot …

Young Girl Sunday Blues is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record After Bathing At Baxter’s. The track starts off with a simple drum and guitar part before leading into a section which certainly has a feel more like Jefferson Airplane typically does. The vocal performance …

This album is the latest in Neil Hannon’s belt, and a release I have looked forward to for a long time. The cd features sixteen brand new tracks composed and preformed in part by Hannon himself as in most of his other music.
Below is half of the track list …

Overview - Highway 61 Revisited, Dylan’s sixth effort and his first to feature a full backing band, is filled with brilliant songwriting and excellent lyrics, something I’ve always expected of Dylan after hearing a lot of his work. This album contains some of Dylan’s most well known songs of …

“Undying Love” is a lyrical masterpiece from the rapper Nas. This song appears on his album “I Am” which in itself garnered mixed reviews. I’ll tell you this though, never will you hear such a well thought out and well told story in today’s rap/hip hop scene. Fittingly this …

Shania Twain is one of those musicians that I grew up listening too. While admittedly she is not my favorite female artist she is one whose music I have come to enjoy and appreciate over the years. ” The Woman In Me” was released in early 1995 and my …

Overview —“ 1984, the final album that Van Halen released with David Lee Roth, was definitely not a disappointing final record with the original front man. I’m not a huge fan of Van Halen, although I do like some of their records and I actually managed to see them …

She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …

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 …

King Nothing is a song by Metallica which appears on their album Load, the first half of their double record Load/Reload. The song opens up with a guitar lead which gradually fades in along with a bass line that comes in a bit later which supplies the main rhythm …

I don’t know how I can exactly describe it but when I listen to Sarah Brightman’s song, it seems you are immersed in very cold water. As if the water has ice all over. Her voice is …

This record is fabulous. When people talk about the Cure and their best albums people usually mention such albums as Seventeen Seconds, the 1982 album called Pornography, the 1989 Disintegration. All of these three albums are kind of pompous, grand. This album, the 1985 The Head on the Door …
