The reason I purchased Tanya Tucker: Can’t Run from Yourself on CD was because of the title song, which was used in the movie, Father Hood, starring Patrick Swayze. Father Hood didn’t have a soundtrack release, but fortunately, Tucker recorded the song here. I love the downbeat …

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.

System Of A Down is the band’s self titled 1998 debut album, produced by Rick Rubin and released on American Records. The album is dark, fast, loud and tight, the album is by far heavier and angrier than System Of A down’s future albums, the future albums feature more …

Many know Rush for their over the top progressive music with Geddy Lee on Bass with his crazy bass fills and high voice as well as his synth playing skills and of course Alex Lifeson with his awesome guitar tone and phrasing in many unusual scales as well as …

Overview —“ Warning, Green Day’s sixth album, really has quite a different sound than what I was expecting it to have and definitely not in a good way. The band seems to try and merge their electric and acoustic influences on this album, but unlike on past works where …

Type O Negative’s brand of music has always been hard to digest for listeners like me and modern rock radio and the band’s October Rust CD is not helping to solve the problem at all. Not only the album will alienate the band further from mainstream music but might …

She thinks my tractors sexy by Kenny Chesney is a song for a guy who lives on a farm and has a girl friend who likes tractors. This song also ditches all other vehicles other than tractors. I listen to this song all the time because it talks …

Cities is Anberlin’s third, and by far their most mature, album. For those that have followed them from their …

Mean Mr. Mustard is a song by The Beatles which appears on their album Abbey Road. Just as a note, this track is basically meant to be listened to directly after Sun King as the final drum fill of Sun King leads directly into Mean Mr. Mustard, but of …

Watching Disney programs, I grew up watching Selena Gomez and her best friend Demi Lovato in this one film entitled Princess Protection Program. I adore this two young ladies and been supporting shows they do, even if they are together or individually. Demi Lovato is such a fine lady …

When I first listened to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, I really thought that I am reading to a novel or something. There is a certain kind of story to this CD album that I like so much. Her voice is soft and crooning and she can even …

Being a fan of this band for some time now I have started to notice that each album they release is more experimental and less heavy, it’s the same with this album, while the musicianship and skill on the album is great I find it hard to believe this …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

I guess I can never get tired of James Blunt’s songs. I do think that he is one of the few singers who can seriously sing and at the same time mean his songs.
From the lyrics to the melody to the delivery, James Blunt’s music really touches my …

Demi Lovato is a Disney channel star who got her big break on the Disney movie Camp Rock (and also starred in Barney many years ago). Since then, she has put out two albums. That is a lot of songs for someone so young. She is only 17 years …

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 …

If I were a record company executive, I would definitely sign up Kenyan rock band Murfy’s Flaw. Three things make this band appealing to me. First of all, five out of six of the band members are female. Being female myself, I can only celebrate this fact since the …

I recently discovered a band by the name of Vampire Weekend. This band’s name may sound strange, but do not let that distract you from the fact that their music is wonderful. They have such a different sound than every other band that is currently on my iPod. There …

I really like music that mixes a few good genres into something that is a nice swirl of both. Among my favorite combinations of genres is the mix of rock with jazz inspired pieces. There really is something about a piano, and sometimes horns, in a band that really …

This album occupies a very special part in my heart. I do not know exactly why, but I remember the day, the night, when I bought this album so vividly, with such clarity and detail. It was a winter night. It was snowing. It was rather late and dark. …

Lonely Day is a song by System Of A Down and is the penultimate track on Hypnotize, the second half of their double album Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Something to take note of is that Daron Malakian takes lead vocals on this track and this really isn’t a song to be listening …

All people who have not listened to this album are missing out on a lot. And this album was probably heard mostly by people who lived in 2005 and 2006 in America. The songs on this album are remarkable. It is a shame that this band did not manage …

Hustling (Life On The Nickel) is a song by Foster The People which appears on their debut record Torches. The track opens up with an unconventional opening comprised of an electronic intro before other instrumentation joins in the track and a rhythm is actually established. Though the band takes …

Burn by Usher is a song I love listening to because it is so deep and heart felt. Every word in the song is like a poem being read aloud and the song has such a melody That anyone can be able to listen to the song over and …

This is a great record. Interpol is a very talented band, and I personally believe that this is their best record. The debut album sounded rather messy, whereas the albums that were released after this one have rather lazy song-writing. Whereas the 2004 Antics is a fantastic record with …

Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …

Chris Norman may not exactly be a household name these days, but let me assure you that no matter who you are there is a good chance that you have heard at least one or two of his songs in your life. The main one would be LIVING NEXT …

This is actually the first time I’ll be reviewing a “rap” song. So I decided I’d go a rather different these days because I need to expand my music horizon. Every day I have been doing the same routine, listening to Alternative, Indie, Dark-Pop, Heavy-Beat, Contry and EDM music, …

Two Sails On A Sound is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth studio album, Here Comes The Indian. Beginning in a manner which is characteristic to this album, Animal Collective take their time in establishing an introduction before going into any bulk of the song. …

I like finding new old recordings. If I can find an early recording of an artist that I like, I’m ecstatic. Recently I found “Trav’lin’ Light” featuring Peggy Lee and I was in my element. I listened to it twice in a row and enjoyed it immensely both times. …

The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …
