Furnished Souls for Rent is Nuno Bettencourt’s 5th album where he plays in a “real band” (His 4th album Schizophonic was Nuno playing and doing everything on the songs) and features a much more stripped down and energetic sound than with Extreme or his solo albums. It has the …

When You Say Nothing At All is the best song that Allison Krauss ever recorded, in my opinion. It is the most amazing love song that you will ever hear. From lyrics to the beat, it is the most romantic song I can think of. She is telling her …

I bought this as a back up bass so i had a spare bass lying at work for after work rehearsals.The Rockbass is Warwicks entry level range so although it is good it isn’t quite in the same league as a Warwick!
This cost £270 from an online music shop …

From their The Plan CD, a project from the early 70’s that was done with much passion, Let Me In is one of my two favorite songs from this album. The album itself tells the story of the The Osmonds’ religious beliefs. Now one of the cool …

Stone Free is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience with appears on the album Are You Experienced? Stone Free starts out with a short guitar part before leading into a pretty interesting rhythm, certainly a moving one at that. Hendrix soon comes in with his voice to sing …

After all of the fuss over Arnel Pineda’s You Tube performance that won him the honor of becoming Journey’s new lead singer, I bought the album to see if he could carry the title.
I have mixed feelings about the recordings. I’m forever a loyal Steve Perry fan, so there …

One of Spice Girls song that I love as well would be Viva Forever. It has a certain Italian and Spanish-like sounding quality and Viva Forever by Spice Girls will always be on my mind whenever I have memories of the Spice Girls’ brand of music and wanting to …

No More Mister Nice Guy is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. The track starts off with that classic riff from Alice Cooper’s track but certainly with a more aggressive tone and just sort of more an electrified tone coming from Mustaine. Although …

Success is always a dilemma, which is accompanied by the popularity of heavy load, and the burden to continue to be in itself a success. It was a great effort to try to prove by Snow Patrol, in which released an album titled A Hundred Million Sun. Gary Lightbody, …

Octavarium is a rock music CD by Dream Theater. Although it is not my favorite of their CD’s it is still very good.

Lips of an Angel is one of my least favorite songs of all time. When the song was first released, everyone I knew was playing it constantly. Every time I called one of my friends, it was their ring back tone and most of the people I knew set …

“Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead” is the opening track on Cannibal Corpse album “The Bleeding”. This right here is probably about as mainstream old school Cannibal Corpse has ever gone, besides their brief stint on Ace Venture Pet Detective. Although “Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead” …

Indie rock is a genre that seems to be in a state of forgotten identity as of late, often seeming to lose touch with itself. Company of Thieves is a band that has good indie sensibilities with a folky feel, offering a good blend of both throughout their library. …

Space Dementia is a song by Muse which appears on their record Origin Of Symmetry. The track opens up with a graceful piano line that has somewhat of an eerie feel to it but it does exactly what an introduction for a song should do, it makes me want …

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 …

Dio is an American heavy metal band which was formed by the former Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Many heavy metal fans would be familiar with their song “Holy Diver” which has continued to be seen as a classic in the heavy metal community around the world. …

Remember when the Mumford-constructed song “Ho Hey” became a huge worldwide hit last 2012? Well, I still could but I never listened to it more than twice. I am a huge fan of Mumford & Sons and I think copying their signature sound wouldn’t do a band any good. …

It’s been said that siblings are able to blend their voices with a special unity. When I listen to The Gatlin Brothers sing, I believe that. They have a very special harmony that is really joyous to listen to. This is never more apparent than with …

Escape, one of the final tracks for Muse’s debut record Showbiz, is yet another one of Muse’s tracks which I’ve been listening to a lot recently along with Apocalypse Please. The first few bits of Escape open up with a very melodic sound with Bellamy leading the track …

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually a fan of upbeat, post-punk, bop-your-head-and-tap-your-toes Rock, but I unshamedly admit that when I put on ‘Almost Here’, not only does my head bop, but my whole body follows along in a strange, convulsing, toe-tapping mess.
The Academy Is’ first album, ‘Almost Here’, …

You don’t have to be a child of the 80’s to know that there is tons of music out there from this decade that is simply marvelous. Out of the 80’s came a group called Tears for Fears. Much of their music has been sampled in the …

The world’s biggest and arguably the only legitimate popstar left has released the lead single for her 4th studio album. It has been more than 3 years since Katy Perry released a studio album and the wait has certainly been long. She released an Olympic song last year “Rise” …

I was 16 (now I’m 21) when I started listening to The Cranberries. They were the ones who made me like music in general, and they’re the ones I’ll probably always hold in my heart. And that is why I’m really biased when it comes to this particular band, …

Universe is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut record, Scars On Broadway. Universe opens with an electric guitar riff which I would describe as sort of a driving lead which goes nicely into a drum pattern played by Dolmayan before picking up in terms …

Instantly, this album should be contrasted with the Different Gear, Still Speeding debut album by Beady Eye. It is important to know who is going to come up with a better album after the breakup of the band —“ the chief songwriter, the mastermind behind all famous Oasis songs, …

I think this is one of the best cds they have out. It had a combination of different mood songs. “This Love” is basically a bittersweet love song. I can’t stop thinking about this song. “Popular” is a good club song. It’s catchy, has …

Overseas Stomp (The Lindy) is a cover which appears on a reissue of the self-titled Grateful Dead album. This song is a cover but I’m sure that The Dead added their own distinct touch to the track which is what I’ll be focusing on here. The track opens up …

“Recovery” Review
Artist-Eminem
Year-2010

I have always been a huge fan of Eminem, from his old stuff and now into his new. He always seems to have that flow that no other artist or hip-hop artist can tap into. Even at his age he is still putting out quality stuff like his …

Selena - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD includes numerous songs sung by the upcoming talent, Selena, who was murdered just as she was really coming into fame and prominence. That was such a sad situation and seemingly so unfair. This story, Selena, named simply for the …

It seems to me that the rock song ‘You Belong to the City’ that became popular in the mid 80’s (1985, to be exact) tries to tell something and not just merely describing in a reflective way by using some sort of a second person address (like talking …

Guns N’ Roses has been one of the best hard rock bands of all time. They were a major hit since their first record and rule the whole world from 1987 to around 1994. On 1993 they recorded they best album ever, the duo “Use your Ilussion” I and …

Overview —“ Motorbreath, the third song to appear on Kill —˜Em All certainly does match up to the expectations which were set by following The Four Horsemen and unfortunately this song really doesn’t even match Hit The Lights. Motorbreath honestly just doesn’t strike me as that good of a …
