System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. (Song)
B.Y.O.B. the opening track of System Of A Down’s double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize is what I would consider to be among their most aggressive work throughout the past few records. The song opens up with a guitar riff by Malakian which is quite aggressive and quick before giving way to …
Tik Tok Music Video by Ke$ha
Ke$ha has recently burst onto the scene with her controversial lyrics and interesting look. In my opinion, she is not a very talented singer and she will not last very long in the music industry at all. To start with, she just looks trashy. It is not an attractive …
Metallica - Shoot Me Again (Song)
Shoot Me Again is a song by Metallica which appears on their album St. Anger. Before I begin, the typical problems that plague all of St. Anger exist on this song: terrible drum sound, vocals sound extremely out of tune, songs far too long, etc. Like most of St. …
Muse - Assassin (Song)
Assassin is a track by Muse which appears on their album Black Holes And Revelations. Interestingly enough, I just finished reviewing Soldier’s Poem which is another track on this record and Assassin is like the complete opposite of that track. Whereas Soldier’s Poem is a very melodic song and …
‘Everytime’ by Britney Spears
To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …
I will always love you
Dolly Pardon sings ‘I will Always Love You’ the best of any performer I have heard do that song. It is such a sweet melody that makes you just want to cry when you hear it . It makes you want to tell them to go on and be …
Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie (Song)
Terrible Lie is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine. The track starts off with a dark sounding synthesizer and drum part, quite characteristic of this album to be honest. A heavy yet simple guitar part comes in which Reznor sings …
The Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah
Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …
Beyonce on Ellen

Because of You by Kelly Clarkson
This song, Because of You by Kelly Clarkson is really sweet and painful to listen to if you are on a heartbreak spree. I wonder how did singer Kelly Clarkson managed to sing such a sweet and if you listen to this song, you could really feel the pain …
Love the way you lie by Eminem
The first time I heard this song was when Julie Ann and Elmo Magalona, singers from Party Pilipinas (Sunday afternoon variety program in the Philippines) performed it. I admit because the two of them are my favorite young artist these days, I become liking the song after the performance. …

Animal Collective - Bluish (Song)
Bluish is a song by Animal Collective and the sixth track on their release Merriweather Post Pavilion. Though the song opens up somewhat empty, the track then moves into a synthesizer-led part which makes me feel almost as if I’m listening to a far more psychedelic version of MGMT, …
Pink (musician)
The first time I saw and heard of the artist called Pink was when I was still in my earlier days of high school when she was still a fairly new artiste. Now Pink became popular in an age where the popularity of boy and girl pop bands like …
Pantera Vulgar Display Of Power
This is Pantera’s second album, the title comes from the movie The Exorcist. Released in 1992 and produced by Terry Date again, this album is far more aggressive than the last, tighter, darker, faster, and I don’t think it could have been much heavier. Mouth for war opens the …
500 Days of Summer Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for 500 Days of Summer is probably one of the best movie soundtracks that I have ever owned. Whoever was in charge of picking the songs to go in this movie did a wonderful job of it. These are songs that both remind me …
Animal Collective - Leaf House (Song)

Back To Black-music album by Amy Winehouse
Music is always in the background wherever I’m at. I find it vital to a relaxed, yet fun atmosphere. That said, I like all kinds of music also. About the only stuff you’re not gonna hear around me is heavy rap, heavy metal, or heavy elevator …
Pink Floyd - Burning Bridges (Song)
Burning Bridges is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their record Obscured By Clouds. The track starts off in an extremely mellow and melodic mood with a very light organ melody primarily leading the song as it first starts off. Something interesting about the vocals of this …

Bossanova, 1990 Album by Pixies
This album is amazing. Even though the two previous Pixies records were really good, this one was even better in some crucial respects. I think that what this album turned out to be is simply unpredictable, if you look at what the previous records were. There must have been …
Fender Stratocaster (made in Mexico)
Never buy a Fender unless you buy something equal to or better than an American Standard Stratocaster. ALL other Fenders are terrible. I hate them, it’s as if they don’t even try, they don’t even put Humbukkers or anything. Just a solid chunk of plastic and wood that you …
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
Overview - The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barret’s first solo record after departing Pink Floyd, is an album that sounds absolutely nothing like the work Barrett did with Pink Floyd, it’s surprising that it’s even the same man to be honest. Not only is Barrett’s songwriting a lot simpler and …

Album : Bobby Long - A Winter Tale (2011)

One of the latest singer/songwriter …
Garden of Serenity by David & Steve Gordon
Garden of Serenity by David & Steve Gordon is one of the few relaxing audio CDs that I did not enjoy. The reason I did not find this CD to be as relaxing or as peaceful is because the nature sounds on this CD are really much too loud …
Nine Inch Nails - Piggy (Song)
Piggy is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Downward Spiral. Something I’ll mention right away is that this song features real drums which is something Nine Inch Nails really don’t do all that often, but more importantly, the drums are pretty important to …
Umbrella by Rihanna, Music
Somebody please, give this girl some water! She is literally out of breath repeating the words “ella ella ella” over, and over, and over again.
Yes, I understand that Rihanna wants to shield her friends and lovers under her umbrella till the end, but what is up with the …

System of a Down The Toxicity Album
This is the album that put System of a Down on the map, if it wasn’t for this album then they wouldn’t be where they are today and it’s easy to see why, it’s a fantastic album in a lot of ways. It’s not my personal favorite, but it’s …

Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Music Video)
Overview —“ Down In It, the first single and music video released by Nine Inch Nails for their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine, takes the chaos of the song and matches it with a video. Although this sounds appealing, at least to me, the execution in the music video …

Shelter Of Your Love by Jimmy Cliff
Even though I like all genres of music, I have not had the opportunity to hear much reggae until I was watching the movie “Cocktail” starring Tom Cruise. There was a love scene between his character and Elizabeth Shue at an amazing waterfall and that is where I first heard …
The Close Lobsters - Going to Heaven to See if it Rains

Pretty Hate Machine, 1989 Album by Nine Inch Nails
At the time when I first listened to this record I was not impressed by it. The problem there was that by then I had already been rather closely familiar with the Nine Inch Nails albums The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. And compared to those albums, this album …
The Flaming Lips - She Don’t Use Jelly (Song)
She Don’t Use Jelly is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fourth track to appear from their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although this album is filled with quite a lot of catchy songs, particularly the first two opening songs of the record, She Don’t Use …
Plain White Ts band
When I first heard about the band Plain White Ts I was a bit hesitant to listen to their music as I usually am with a lot of these young, modern and popular bands. This is because I think that many of these bands seem to have a very …

Cannabis Corpse - Dead By Bong (song)
“Dead By Bong” is the 5th song off of Cannabis Corpse album “Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise” which was released in 2011. It was produced by Erik Rutan of “Hate Eternal” fame and whom I might add produced some of “Cannibal Corpse” newer albums. In other words, it …
