Frustration is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed and is the seventh on their collaboration album Lulu. Opening up with an intro which is more eerie than it is melodic, Metallica soon comes in with a riff which has a wonderful rhythm to it and is one that …

This band made waves when they released a great remake of the Lynnard Skinnard song “Simple Man.” “Burning Bright” and “45″ were the other singles released to radio that were every bit as well-received as “Simple Man.” And while these songs are easily the best songs on …

Numb by Linkin park is a song that I like a lot because it is a song of anguish. To me it sounds like the lyrics are telling how majority of teenagers feel but are afraid to admit so. This song has some powerful verses in it and the …

Garth Brooks has come out with some amazing songs in his career. I have loved his music for many years now and to be honest, this is one of my very favorites. Garth hits it with this song when he talks about how he just can’t stop obsessing over …

This is perhaps one of the most underrated songs that Prince has ever written. On his LoveSexy album, this song is the epitome of intimacy. The lyrics have this way of getting under your skin. Perhaps it’s the quiet inensity of Prince’s voice. Perhaps it’s …

I really like the subtle way in which the drums start this track. Simple but effective and the build up tells you what song this is, Queen, Another One Bites The Dust.
Freddie comes in, quite simple at first and yet with the drums he just seems in complete control …

‘Decode’ from Paramore is the song that become the soundtrack of movie ‘Twilight’. I love this song so much and everyday I almost listen it. Usually I listen it in record version, like in the mp3, CD, or cassete.
One day I hear ‘decode’ from my local radio station, bt …

Garth Brooks put together a couple of party songs during his career. Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up is one of them. Partying in the country generally means that you aren’t going to stop until you see daylight. You may not even stop then. That is what …

It was the Sway single that first introduced me to the music of international crooner Michael Buble. When I first heard the song, I thought it was so catchy, I just fell in love with the rhythm. It is certainly one nice song to dance to in …

Sometimes I think to judge an album; you need to see how it holds up in comparison to similar albums from a similar time, as well as seeing how it ranks against some very different albums from other periods in time. Led Zeppelin IV is an album that will …

Burnt Ice is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album United Abominations. The track starts off with an extremely quick guitar solo and a pounding rhythm behind this solo. The solo isn’t that great but I guess it’s an alright way to start off the song. Mustaine …

Bruce Springsteen’s Greatest Hits CD definitely contains some great songs: ‘Born to Run’, ‘Thunder Road’, and ‘Atlantic City’ among them. It also includes the first release of the awesome ‘This Hard Land’. I am a huge Bruce fan, so it almost pains me to say that this collection should …

When I first heard the songs in the album Destination Anywhere, I feel less like the kind of music played by Jon Bon Jovi and accompanying musicians. At first, I was quickly bored with the composition of the tone that I find seem monotonous. This is very different from …

In my opinion, Alicia Keys is one of the most talented recording artists of my generation. She can sing, she can write, and she can play the piano. She can basically do it all. She has the sort of pure talent that makes her a great artist to see …

Kelly Clarkson’s ” The Trouble With Love” has to be one of my favorite all time songs. I heard if for the first time several days ago and have not been able to get it out of my mind. It is one of those songs that is just so …

“The World’s Greatest”
“Ali”: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The church choirs and the swelling ballad strings once again return in this latest “I Believe I Can Fly”-ish opus from none other than the signature emotional song candidate for tear-jerking ‘message’ movies (with the exception of 1996’s “Space Jam” which …

The Album: Reflections by After 7 from Sony Songs Inc., was released in 1995. Featuring some memorable tracks that made the love process go alot easier. Throwing this CD in especially on a rainy night with that special someone, or even if you have just lose that someone, you …

TP-3 Reloaded

We are now trapped in the church it seems. Part 19 of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series focuses on a very stupid commotion, one that is more retarded than the one between Rosie the nosey neighbor and her husband …

One of my all time favourite albums. The debut album by the jesus and mary chain. This album is a masterpiece, beautifully crafted pop songs covered in feedback and hidden behine a couple of walls of white noise. There isn’t another album like this, its filled …

Britney’s comeback is truly what ‘Circus’ is all about. The song tells about her being a showbiz entertainer. She knows her place. She knows what she wants on stage and off cam. Well, I hope she’s better be good now after a lot of hard beats the people had …

I recently purchased the new CD, Bone Palace Ballet, by hardcore veterans Chiodos on Equal Vision Record. Their sophomore release takes the band to new levels, and really shows us how the band has grown and matured. The songs are …

Overview —“ Sweet Children, Green Day’s third EP, is surprisingly what I would consider their worst release yet. I figured that since it was released later than either of their first EPs, 1,000 Hours or Slappy, the songwriting would’ve improved and everything like that but this wasn’t the case …

One genre of music that I feel is hugely underrated and underdeveloped is jazz/rock. It seems that rarely will I find a good jazz/rock combination band, despite the fact that the two styles of music compliment each other so well. The Reign of Kindo is a band that stands …

No one does “vintage music” better than Lana Del Rey. The first time I listened to her debut album Born To Die a couple of years ago I was left awestruck, unable to make anything good the following hour because my mind was filled with, “How the hell did …

Escape, one of the later tracks on Ride The Lightning, is a track that I’ll admit sounds forced and written for the radio in my opinion. Supposedly the story is that the record company wanted Metallica to write a track like Escape, due to …

Move along by the all American rejects is about how when you fall down get back up and move along. It is talking about how when a girl or guy rejects you just get back up and move along and keep strong. This song helps a lot of my …

In 1982, Los Angeles-based deathrock band Christian Death released their groundbreaking debut record, “Only Theatre of Pain”. With its innovative Goth/Punk sound, dark atmosphere, pessimistic lyrics, and Rozz Williams’ distressed vocal style, the record would go on to be called the definitive deathrock album.
The album’s style is a …

Nothing Like This is the newest CD in Rascal Flatts’ already huge discography. It has already sold thousands of copies. I was the last of my fellow Flatts fans to get it.
The wait was well worth it. The lead track, “Why Wait” sums up what I would say …

House Of The Risin’ Sun is a traditional song which is performed by Bob Dylan on his self-titled debut record. I’m sure that just about everyone has heard some version of this song, whether it be the original or just a cover of it from some artist as it’s …

This album is a huge disappointment. I appreciate so many Cypress Hill records that I still, to this day, can’t believe that the band who recorded the groundbreaking rap albums in the early 1990s, the band that recorded Cypress Hill IV, Skull and Bones and Stoned Raiders, the marvelous …

Billy Ray Cyrus: Shot Full of Love CD is one of those CDs where it means so much more if you read the liner jacket notes. Cyrus wrote quite a long explanation for the inspiration behind the CD and several of the songs. It is a story …

Black Crow Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Unlike a lot of Dylan’s earlier works, this track isn’t driven primarily by an acoustic guitar and Dylan’s voice, it’s driven by a piano and Dylan’s voice. Although this may not seem …

I was digging through some of my CDs the other day, looking for something different to listen to in the car (we don’t have decent radio stations here). I ended up coming across my Joe Diffie: Third Rock from the Sun album and ended up listening to that.

Fade To Black, the ballad of Ride The Lightning, is certainly the song where I believe Metallica truly proved that they were much more than a thrash band from the 1980s who were completely driven by energy. I feel like the progression and development …

Pieces Of What is a song by MGMT which appears on their second release, Oracular Spectacular. At this point in the album, the previous six tracks have all been brilliant, but unfortunately I’d say Pieces Of What is where the album goes from brilliant to just sort of solid. …

Slower music is a divisive topic among my friends and I, as well as many people within the rock community. Personally, I do not mind a slower song from singers or bands typically known for being more hardcore, but there are a lot of people out there who see …
