E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey album doesn’t disappoint. At a moment when I thought that there might be lesser and perhaps then extinct singing voice from Mariah Carey, she surprises me up with an album.
And to summarize, E=MC2 truly is a fly. It has the normal sounding …

BoA Korean singer
Boa is my favorite Korean singer; I admire her since she was 16 years old (about 7 years ago?). She began her first debut at 13 and then tried to spread into Japanese songs too. Actually, her voice is average, but I think she has a high range and …

Let Go Album of Avril Lavigne in Napanee, Ontario
Of all the music albums completed by worldwide singing sensation Avril Lavigne, the Let Go album should be easily her best in my opinion. But this is not to say the lightning never strikes twice!
On the contrary, the Lavigne album that followed it, was a smash hit as …
BOSS V-Wah Guitar Effects Pedal
I recently received one of these pedals as a gift and immediately tried it. At first it took a while to get used to it due to all the different effects available. I don’t find this pedal that good as it just changes an effect slightly when you hit …
The Making of the Awake DVD featurette
In actuality, the The Making of the Awake DVD featurette is way too short. It’s more like an overview or even more to the point an explanation as to why the Awake DVD was produced.
The majority of this featurette is Josh Groban discussing the tour and what it …

Mer De Noms (A Perfect Circle Album)
I still have a special love for rock music, but to be honest, there are very few bands that I can honestly say that I am and have ever been a devout fan of. As a teenager I was generally a fan of the music and the way it …
Weezer - Mykel And Carli (Song)
Mykel and Carli is a song by Weezer which strays away from their typical power-pop sound and strikes me as being a bit more developed. Opening up in a very acoustic fashion with just an acoustic guitar and a simple harmonica pattern, the rest of the band soon comes …
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (Song)
Behind Blue Eyes is a song by The Who which appears on their record Who’s Next. Unlike the traditional rock and roll sound that The Who had throughout their career, Behind Blue Eyes is certainly a ballad which carries with it a much different atmosphere and mood compared to …

Neil Diamond: The Christmas Album CD
I remember this seemed odd for a while, that Neil Diamond would do a holiday album since he’s Jewish. There was talk that since Barbra Streisand was doing another one, it somehow was okay for him to do one. I don’t recall the specifics much now, but …
Killswitch Engage

Can We Talk by Code Red
The song, Can We Talk by Code Red is a fantastic song. This song is a cover version and it is extremely nice and upbeat. Code Red is a British boy band but I think they are non-existent already.

The Rolling Stones - Crazy Mama (Song)
Crazy Mama is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Black And Blue. The song starts out in a pretty laid-back fashion with sort of a lazy and casual guitar riff which gives way to a short lead played over it. Jagger comes with the …
Bark at the Moon, 1983 Album by Ozzy Osbourne
My opinion of this album changed dramatically in the course of years. I was a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne when I was in my early teenage years. I knew all his albums very well, and was quite fond of many of his songs. And this album, the 1983 …

Green Day - Misery (Song)

Stuck by Stacie Orrico
Part of the lyrics, ‘I hate you, but I love you’ from the song, Stuck by Stacie Orrico. I think she’s half Latin or something. She looks kind of gorgeous and this song is super amazing. Something that I have listened to over the years but seemingly …
Bon Jovi

“A Year Without Rain” Album by Selena Gomez

I generally do not listen to classical forms of music a lot, but on a rare occasion I will listen to the music of select singers and musicians. One of these people is the English born singer Sarah Brightman. There are so many things that I like about her …
Bob Marley - Legend

You Don’t Even Call Me By My Name by David Allan Coe
You Don’t Even Call Me By My Name by David Allan Coe is a classic song to me. I used to think this song was done by Johnny Cash instead of David Allan Coe. Maybe they both did the song, I’m not sure. Either way it is a great …
