Kyuss - Katzenjammer (song)
“Katzenjammer” is a song by Kyuss that shows up on their album “Wretch” and their EP “Sons of Kyuss”. I am reviewing the “Sons of Kyuss” version. This version of the song “Katzenjammer” happens to not only be longer, but in my opinion better than the one they released …
Hole band
Hole was a mostly female hard rock band that was popular in the mid to late nineties to early 2000s. It contains one of my favourite female hard rock singers, Courtney Love, who acted as the vocalist for Hole.
I am not sure if the reason the band is …
(Album) The Very Best Of Elton John
It is impossible to put together all the great hits of this fantastic and flamboyant British singer. It is impossible. It is impossible because there is not enough space on two Cd’s for it.
Elton John is one of the geniuses of the pop music of the past 30 years, …
The Beatles - Help!
Overview - Help!, The Beatles’ fifth effort, is the final album that I would consider just average before they launched into their truly great period with albums such as Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s, The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, and a few others. The thing about Help is …
Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD
First of all, there is a very nice CD-rom portion of Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD that includes a video of Brad talking about the songs on the album, his start, and more. It’s really interesting to watch. It held my interest. The pictures and …
Animal Collective - Lablakely Dress (Song)
Lablakely Dress is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their second album entitled Danse Manatee. To begin, let me just say that after following Ahhh Good Country on the track listing, Lablakely Dress has quite an act to follow, but I will be clear and …
Animal Collective - Ahhh Good Country (Song)
Ahhh Good Country is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release, Danse Manatee. Opening up with a synthesizer intro that drags on for about two minutes, Ahhh Good Country then goes on in this instrumental fashion for about another minute before the vocal performance finally …
A Perfect Circle
I first heard about the group “A Perfect Circle” in my final years of high school. At that time I didn’t consider them as my favorite band, or even one of my favorites. However, I did love the few songs I heard from them which as the time …
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …
Anberlin: Never Take Friendship Personal
I loved the first CD from this band so when I saw this one released, I knew I had to have it. This could probably be one of the best CD’s I own. I only paid $11.99 for it at my local music store. This CD had a really …

Radiohead - Creep (Song)
Creep is a song by Radiohead which appears on their debut record, Pablo Honey. Before I begin, I know that Creep is one of Radiohead’s most well known songs, but I want to stress that this truly isn’t what Radiohead has come to sound like. While Creep, and all …
Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar
This is Marilyn Manson’s 2nd full length album, released in 1996 on Interscope Records. The album as you can imagine raised much controversy, the band received death threats, people protested the band, the videos still received airplay on tv, and the songs did great on the radio. Not many …
Quiet Riot
In the country that I live in, not many people listen to rock music and heavy metal music. There is a small rock and heavy metal scene here, but most radio stations will rarely play rock music and hard rock music, and none of them have played heavy metal …
Buttons song from Pussy Cat Dolls featuring Snoop Dog
At the introduction of this song, I am imagining an Indian woman dancing like that of Remember the time video of Michael Jackson. However, it sounds sexy, modern and pop once the chorus is being played. What makes this song remarkable is the blending of voice of the vocals …
Blackout, 2003 Music Album by Hed PE
Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …
Iron Maiden - Futureal (Song)
Futureal is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Virtual XI. The song opens up with a pretty energetic guitar riff which works pretty well and would seem to lead nicely into the first verse. Harris’ bass has a very nice heavy tone as well which …

Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex
Cotton Eye Joe was a popular dance track in the 1990’s by the band called The Rednex, which as their name suggests, they take upon the gimmick of that of a redneck. Country music, hillbilly blues and some classic techno dance beats! What more can a music fan ask …
Barbra Streisand: Timeless - Live in Concert CD
Barbra Streisand’s Timeless - Live in Concert CD is, well, timeless. It’s perfection. It’s astounding. It’s fabulous. It’s awesome. It’s incredible. It’s … wonderful! I could easily fill up this review with nothing but superlatives because I just adore this New Year’s …
Four Minutes (song by, Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake)
I think everyone knows who Madonna is and who Justin Timberlake is and so these two popular singers did a combination in Madonna’s newly released song named “Four Minutes (to save the world)” from her new album entitled Hard Candy. I first heard Four Minutes on the local radio …
Angels and Airwaves: We Don’t Need To Whisper
I have been a fan Of Blink-182 for a very long time but when I heard that they broke up, well I was not happy. Then I learned that the lead vocalist started his own band, Angels and Airwaves, and I was curious to see how they would do. …
Radiohead - Let Down (Song)
Let Down is a song by Radiohead which appears on their third record, OK Computer. The song opens up in an incredibly melodic fashion and Yorke has a perfect melody and vocal delivery to really highlight the melodic aspect of this song. Unlike many other Radiohead songs, Let Down …
Sledding With Tigers - Carmel Mountain (Song)
Carmel Mountain is a song by Sledding With Tigers and the second track on their third release, The Arrested Cats. Opening up with an interplay between a simple acoustic guitar patter and a violin lead, I must admit that this is a moment on the album which recalls a …
Green Day - King For A Day (Song)
King For A Day is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Nimrod. The song opens up with a very humorous sounding rhythm due to the use of a trumpet and a very moving bass line, you’d have to hear it to understand what I’m trying …
Full Bug song by Van Halen
One of the worst songs that van halen made in the pre David Lee Roth era is The Full Bug. This song was featured on the Diver Down as most likely a filler to reach the time needed for the record to be released. Although the album showcases some …

Wolfmother - Eyes Open (Song)
Eyes Open is a song by Wolfmother which appears on their second album, Cosmic Egg. The track wastes no time in opening up with an interesting guitar pattern and the vocals also join in the mix pretty quickly as well. Throughout the verse, the vocals sound fairly tamed in …
ZAYN - PILLOWTALK (Song)
More than a year ago or so, everyone was so devastated to hear that the heartthrob member Zayn Malik of the highly-popular band One Direction decided to leave the band. At that point, no one was sure why he decided to leave a band so popular. However, just a …

Dumb Girls by Lucy Woodward is about how this girl feels like only dumb girls have their boyfriends dump them. She feels like she wants the guy back but she doesn’t want to tell the guy because she is scared. This song is a beautiful song because it talks …
3 Doors Down The Better Life
This is 3 doors down’s first major label album released in 2000 on Universal Records. You could call this album post grunge I guess, there are heavy parts but it’s not really a heavy album. Singles include Kryptonite Loser, and Be Like That. The album is a really interesting …
Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD
I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.
What would be the A side …
“Twilight” (song) by Edge of Sanity
If there is any common knowledge among Dan Swano fans, it’s that he is a man who can compose a song under virtually any genre and make it sound fresh, original, and exciting. “Twilight,” a song he wrote with his former band Edge of Sanity, is a whirlwind of brutal …
Kings of Leon
I first heard about Kings of Leon right around when they came on the scene which, I believe, was back in 2005. The first video I saw of theirs was “Four Kicks”. I liked the song’s kind of punchy, in your face sound, and the video was all around …
Telephone Video By Lady Gaga
The song “Telephone” came off Lady Gaga’s new album, The Fame Monster. It’s about a girl, whose boyfriend keeps calling but she won’t pick up the phone because she’d rather be dancing. I’m very picky when it comes to songs. I love Lady Gaga, but it took time for …
Taylor GS acoustic guitar (western red cedar/indian rosewood)

Womanizer by Britney Spears
I love the new song Womanizer by Britney Spears very much. My friends were saying that the song is lame and all that, but I think not. This is the latest of Britney Spears that one could really get a-hold of. Do watch the music video clip. …
Nirvana band
Nirvana was one of the most famous rock bands in the nineteen nineties. I believe that the band could be considered as the Michael Jacksons of grunge rock music as at the time, their weighty lyrics and heavy sludge sound begun to cause a revolution with popular rock music. …
“Snake” (2003): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Snake”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …
Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell (Song)
Run Like Hell is a track by Pink Floyd appears on their concept album, The Wall. The track opens up with just a bit of guitar noise before leading into the main rhythm of the song which is quite catchy and stays throughout the track. It’s not really worth …

Ibanez has yet again created another guitar made for the guitarist in you! It is an RG770DX 1987 reissue that comes in either Ruby red or Lazer blue. The Neck is a Wizard neck that is thin for just gliding through easily with double octave or 24 frets. The …

Motley Crue Greatest Hits
When I was younger, I used to love to listen to the group Motley Crue (something that actually came as a surprise to my wife). So, when I saw their Greatest Hits CD on sale at Shopko, I had to buy it.
So far, I’m happy with my purchase. While …
Erotic Lounge (Deluxe Edition)
This Erotic Lounge (Deluxe Edition) was borrowed from my friend the other day, as I wanted something sexy to listen to, and she recommended me to this CD.
It sounds kinky, but it’s not really, actually. The front cover is pretty interesting. It is a picture of a …

Dixie Chicks: Wide Open Spaces CD
The music was good, but how the mighty Dixie Chicks have fallen. Years back, they became country music outcasts, right in the middle of being huge successes. They made some untoward comments about then President George Bush. It was their end singing country. I believe …
Grateful Dead Top 10 Songs
While skimming through this website I came across a couple of reviews of the Top 10 Best Grateful Dead Songs of all time. Even though there is truly no right top 10 list, I was inspired to right this after seeing someone post the track list from Skeletons …
Til I Forget About You- Big Time Rush
Til I Forget About You is what really made me like Big Time Rush. Being one of the first songs I heard by them, I am not easy to please with music by all means but by the second time I was listening to this song I loved it! …
Beyonce
I don’t know about other people. And I don’t know whether they see the same things as I do. But have you seen other musical talented people in the musical world, that have grown so much in performace, in atttitude, in passion as Beyonce? I mean surely there is …
