Clint Black: D’lectrified CD
Clint Black: D’lectrified is an album done without the use of any electrical instruments; hence the title of the CD.
I’m not a huge fan of this country music singer, but I think I liked him better before he did the Celebrity Apprentice. He was a nice guy, …
The Best Of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special! Original TV Soundtrack
The Best Of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special! Original TV Soundtrack is a soundtrack that I was disappointed in somewhat. I think several musical pieces are more deserving to be on this soundtrack than what was ultimately decided on and I would not consider this soundtrack to represent the …
The Rolling Stones - Out Of Time (Metamorphosis Version Of Song)
Out Of Time is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Metamorphosis. I’m aware that the original version of this song appears on the album Aftermath but I will be focusing on the version which appears on Metamorphosis which is an album filled with either …
Animal Collective - My Favorite Colors (Song)
My Favorite Colors is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track to appear on their 2006 EP entitled People. While not exactly an instrumental, the vocal performance to appear on My Favorite Colors is basically just a lot of vocal humming over the top of some …

Smash The Control Machine - Otep

First I must say that I had high expectations for this …
Green Day - Misery (Song)
Misery, a track appearing on Green Day’s album Warning, is a song that I will admit actually surprised me significantly. I’ll admit that Warning and the previous few records that Green Day released were quite disappointing, particularly since they proved that they could do so much better, but Warning …
Wynton Marsalis & Willie Nelson : Two Men With The Blues
The album featured collaborations between trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis, and the Legendary Country Singers, Willie Nelson. They played blues songs, jazz and country. It should be noted, that besides the soft voice of Willie Nelson and the trumpet playing of Wynton Marsalis, the accompanist musicians also showed their greatness. Accompanist …
Doggystyle - Snoop Doggy Dogg
I thought that Doggystyle by Snoop Doggy Dogg was and still is a classic rap album. I remember in 1993 hearing about the album coming out and I just could not wait to go to my local music store to purchase it. I purchased the album on the day …
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Album)
Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009. Comprised of eleven songs, Merriweather Post Pavilion is posed with the tough task of following Strawberry Jam, Feels, and Sung Tongs which are the three strongest Animal Collective records in my opinion. Overall, I would say that …
Katy Perry’s One Of The Boys Album
One Of The Boys is an album from Katy Perry one of my new favorite singers. The following are sone songs you’ve probably heard before because they are the sigles from the album. They are as follows: I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, Thinking Of You, …

This single, Just Stand Up, was sung live in New …
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 …
Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …
Album : Roxette - Charm School (2011)
Roxette have always been privileged to have a bit of a unique stance in the overall musical landscape. While their sound is definitely classed as pure pop music, they have always had just enough edge to appeal to the rock market too and are one of the only pop …
Animal Collective - Throwin The Round Ball (Song)
Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …
Slayer - Exile (Song)
Exile is a song by Slayer which starts out in an extremely heavy fashion, as most Slayer songs do, before Araya comes in with the vocals of the track. Now typically I like Slayer a bit and think they’re a good metal band but the sound on Exile is …
Morphine’s Like Swimming
The album “Like Swimming” By Morphine is not what I expected from such an odd sounding band. When I really listen to this song, it is amazing. The voice that I hear makes me want to relax, sit back, and enjoy the music. Of course, I would not recommend …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost (Song)
Ghost is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which appears on their second release, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Opening with a quick acoustic guitar strumming pattern, a fuzzy rhythm soon enters the mix which gives Ghost a slightly heavier feeling and a more interesting rhythm compared to …

Lindsay Lohan - Confession of a broken heart
When I hear Lindsay Lohan would release an album, I’m not sure about her capability on vocal in singing, but after I listen her songs, I can say that’s pretty much good. Confession of a broken heart is one of Lindsay Lohan’s song that I like.
Confession of broken a …
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (Album)
Oracular Spectacular is the second album released by MGMT following their debut, Climbing To New Lows. Now, many people will know about this album due to some wonderful singles released such as Time To Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids, but what I want to stress in this review is …
Tool - Aenima
I bought Aenima after i had loved Tool’s next album (Lateralus). I found that Aenima is just as good. When Aenima was released Tool was just a promising name in the hard rock genre, this album enstablished the band not only as a great name worldwide, blessed by sales …
The Beatles - If I Needed Someone (Song)
If I Needed Someone is a song by The Beatles which appears on their record Rubber Soul. Something important about Rubber Soul is that it certainly acted as an indication that The Beatles were really starting to move away from the traditional pop-rock sound that they had into a …
Nobody Can Change Me by Nicole Sherzinger
Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …
Neutral Milk Hotel - A Baby For Pree (Song)
A Baby For Pree is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the fourth song on their debut album, On Avery Island. In contrast to the previous couple of songs on this record, the instrumentation on A Baby For Pree is incredibly stripped down and has a much …

Sublime - D.J.s (Song)
D.J.s is a song by Sublime and is the twelfth song on their debut release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with the vocals right from the beginning, Nowell takes the lead with a multi-layered vocal delivery which creates a nice harmony and opens the sound in a pretty …
Iron Maiden - The Fallen Angel (Song)
The Fallen Angel is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Brave New World. The best way that I can describe the instrumental opening of this track is that it has a very driving sound to it both from the three guitarists, Harris’ galloping rhythm, and …
Ancestors : Neptune With Fire
I think that the Ancestors would a band with folk metal genre. Arrangement simple logic, Neptune is the god of the sea, which in the title of this album, in contrast with fire, so, Ancestors is a group with the genre of folk metal proud of the values of …
Pep Love Ascension CD
Pep Love, from the infamous Hieroglyphics and Souls of Mischief crew is not famous. He is not featured on the radio. He has no videos on MTV or BET. But he is one of the best rappers in the business. Catchy, intelligent lyrics matched with a spitfire style, Pep …
Teddy Bear by Red Sovine
The song Teddy Bear is one of the many that Red Sovine sings that I like. It is considered to be a truck driving song but that makes no difference to me. I’m not a truck driver but I sure like the beat of the song. It makes me …
Green Day - 21 Guns (Song)
21 Guns is a song by Green Day which appears on their most recent studio effort, 21st Century Breakdown. I believe that this track is the second single released in promotion of the record, with Know Your Enemy being the first, and I firmly believe that 21 Guns is …
David Cook (The Album)
I fell in love with David during American Idol and this cd just proves how far his journey has gone. This cd is phenomenal. Theres not many cds where I can say I like every song, this is one of them! Davids voice is so defined, I can always …
Aerosmith
I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …
Under My Skin Album of Avril Lavigne in Canada
The “Under My Skin” album is Canadian pop diva Avril Lavigne’s second foray at original album making. It was released between 2004 to 2005, single by single.
Since Avril writes most of her songs, this album was no different. The album’s first single, “Breakaway” was a song the …
Sledding With Tigers - The Prettiest Sound That Rain Makes (Song)
The Prettiest Sound That Rain Makes is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the final track on their second release, The Hill Sheep. Beginning with an incredibly melodic opening thanks to the interplay between a mandolin and acoustic guitar part, the vocals join in after about thirty …
Appetite les Paul guitar
The Appetite Les Paul guitar is an instrument recently made by the gibson factory to honor the guitar that Slash used on almost all his albums with Guns N’ Roses. It wasn’t actually a gibson when Slash recieved his les paul, but a really cool replica of one. …
Phillipia (Atlanta singer)
I have attended a few venues in Atlanta where Phillipia was performing.
I don’t know much about her except that she’s a 36 year old jazz singer who graces many stages around the Atlanta area (and I presume, beyond). She’s got a great set of pipes. But …
Song: “So What” by Pink
The song “So what” by the artist Pink is so awesome. I am planning to purchase it from iTunes because it would be a great song to jog. It gives you a slow start but gains intensity throughout the song. The beat is infectious! I can …
Bob Dylan - Pretty Peggy-O (Song)
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 …
Album : Heonia - winsome Scar (2011)
What is it with female vocalists thinking that they have to sing every word in the highest possible register? This fact has annoyed me for a long time now and really causes me a lot of frustration when i find symphonic and melodic metal bands that would otherwise be …
The Grateful Dead - What’s Bome Of The Baby (Song)
What’s Become Of The Baby is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record Aoxomoxoa. I will say right now that this track is quite different sounding from a traditional song and very experimental. I suppose the best way I could preface this song is that …
Ciara - Get Up
This song is pretty old, but it’s still good to listen. Get up is the soundtrack of movie step up. It’s a R n B song.
No wonder if this song is so full of beat and we can dance from the beginning until the end of this song because …
My Friend - Groove Armada
Like the band’s name Groove Armada, their song sounds groove too. Like this song ‘My friend’, it’s not a new song from them, but I really like it, because whenever I listen it sounds new for me.
The song sounds easy listening, it can calm down your mind when …
Yes, Please
Fourplay back to release the album with the title “Yes, Please”. This album, very energetic and sensual. The spirit of every personnel to always bring something new, might be the cause.

The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side) [Song]
Break On Through (To The Other Side) is the first track which opens The Doors debut and self-titled record. I have to say that this track portrays The Doors at really not a bad representation and certainly a pretty good representation of at least the overall mood and vibe …
Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD
I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …
