Overall, Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD is pretty good. It made great background music for me as I did things around the house. Sometimes I sang along and sometimes it made me stop and listen, while at other times, it was just music filling the air.
The …

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 …

The last ‘big’ KISS album and the beginning of the end for the band. (Peter Criss doesn’t even play drums here…anton Fig fills in although he never received credit)

Flo Rida is a new singer on the scene and one of the songs from his album “Mail on Sunday (2008)” is called Freaky Deaky. He sings this song along with Trey Songz.

It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …

“At Your Best (You Are Love)”
Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
Blackground/Jive Records
Aaliyah’s follow up to “Back and Forth”, “At Your Best (You Are Love)”, takes a more laid back, and chilled-out yet funky and romantic approach in both the song and the video itself. She’s got …

This is one of my favorite Coldplay albums.. They’ve yet again, created nothing but pure musical brilliance. Chris Martin (The lead singer) has a heart for music. And it’s absolutely nothing like the shallow, mainstream trash you’ll hear on the radio. One of my favorite tracks is ‘Amsterdam.’ …

Of Wolf And Man is my personal favorite aggressive track on The Black Album. Overall, my favorite song on this album would have to be The Unforgiven, but as far as one of the aggressive tracks on this album, Of Wolf And Man would certainly be my favorite. I …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Listen” (Version 2)
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …

A Great instrumental song by the german hard rock band The Scorpions is the track Coast To Coast off of the album Lovedrive. I really like this instrumental, I even got to see it live and it is the one track where a third guitar is played by the …

Jay-Z ft. Beyonce Knowles
“‘03 Bonnie & Clyde”
The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse
Roc-A-Fella Records

Getting Smaller, a song by Nine Inch Nails for their record With Teeth, is quite an aggressive song and certainly strikes me as one of Reznor’s better songs, at least for this record at least. Getting Smaller is a pretty straightforward track which wastes no time getting into the …

Frogs is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with a confusing and dissonant sound, the bass and drums enter the mix to give the song a somewhat more solid foundation. Though I’m surprised …

White Rabbit is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record Surrealistic Pillow. The song is one of the more well known songs by the band and certainly with good reason. Sometimes tracks can be extremely well known but they just really aren’t that good in reality, …

A very techno but soothing song. The vocals aren’t very focused on in here, instead it is more blended into the instrumentals, and it makes the mind serene. This is one of the few songs I approve of the use of auto-tuning, because of how capable of bringing us …

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.

The first thing i want to say about this album is that i can’t believe that this girl is only twenty one years of age. Her professionalism, her songwriting skills and especially her guitar playing show a definite wisdom beyond her years and her new album is something i …

BORNS is one of the up and coming musicians this year that really got me interested. From the first time I heard him in his wonderfully-crafted “10,000 Emerald Pools”, I knew that I will be captivated in his following efforts. And he never failed, far from it.

It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …
