Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.

I had the utmost pleasure of being able to see Black Label Society LIVE in concert supporting Ozzy Osbourne on July 6th 2007 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham England. They were simply amazing combining powerful heavy metal riffs with amazing and unique vocalization for every song, each …

What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo is a very lovely song and Chrisette Michele, with her powerful vocals, totally sweep me away with this song. What You Do is the title given and Ne-Yo adds a touch of class as well. It is just awesome …

The To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD is pretty representative of this extraordinary movie which starred Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Legazamo as drag queens. While not every track is a hit for me, several of them are.
The movie, and the CD, opens …

“And The Circus Leaves Town” is the final Kyuss album to be released before their breakup. Although the band is now back together again, it no longer has all of the original members, most notably Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri. Both critics and fans alike seem to harbor mixed …

I have never loved any R n b artist until Chris Brown. He is truly a brilliant artist with a very lovely and unique voice. Not that other singers don’t have his talent, but Chris Brown sure is one of the best I guess in the modern songs I …

I have been a casual fan of X Ambassadors ever since their sleeper hit “Renegades” started taking off early this year. In fact if you look at the reviews I made for this very site, then you’ll see that I’ve reviewed “Renegades” too. Side note: I still love that …

I will be the first to admit, the first 1,000 and more times that I had the music of Lenka shoved down my throat, I couldn’t stand it. I was darn near physically ill. I simply could not stand her cutesy, almost innocent lyrics were just too much.
And then …

The Saturdays are a relatively new band which has already made some chart topping hits. Most noticeably is their new EP “Just can’t enough” I at first wasn’t all that too sure if it would be a”hit” and a great rendition to the original from dépêche mode. Never the less …

One of my favorite artists is Michelle Branch (solo or with The Wreckers). When her album Hotel Paper came out seven years ago, I immediately bought it. Even though it’s seven years old, I still find myself listening to the songs today. The album has many …

Born to Be Wild and Easy Rider is an easy rock song. It is one of the few rock songs that I like. It has a great beat that just gets you to tapping your toes to the beat. It describes how we are all born to be wild …

The latest Krayzie Bone album called Good VS Evil is a musical masterpiece. This CD shows Krayzie Bone’s dark and good side. I think this is the best Krayzie Bone album that takes you deep into his mind. The productions and beats are very powerful and just great. Krayzie Bone …

Alabama Getaway is a song by The Grateful Dead which is the opening track of their record Go To Heaven. The song opens up with a very energetic guitar lead which somewhat reminds of Chuck Berry although it certainly has the sound of The Dead. Garcia comes in quickly …

This album is quite a let-down. This album was released by Trent Reznor for free in its digital form. The release was very unconventional in its form. And I think that it was correct that this album was free. The thing is that this album is not very good. …

I was very exciting last spring to find out that a new Garbage album was going to come out after such a long wait, since their 2005 album, Bleed Like Me. And so I basically downloaded the album as soon as it was released. I will be honest and …

I for the life of me do not understand why in the world you need 6 people to carry one song. That said, I actually find myself enjoying the vocals of Danity Kane. I heard ‘Damaged’ on the radio and realized it’s not like all the other R&B drivel …

This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …

Coldplay have been one of the biggest bands in this generation, and arguably the biggest this decade (and the last one too)!
Ever since I heard Viva La Vida, I immediately recognized why this band became popular. And I became a huge fan since then.
Today I stay awake mid-afternoon just …

The rock band U2’s album, The Joshua Tree, is a spectacular moment in music. The Joshua Tree has songs that reach our heart, yet they are not preachy or boring. Bono, the lead singer of U2, wears his heart on his sleeve for this particular album. The Joshua Tree …

As a longtime fan of progressive/experimental music, I often gravitate towards sound patterns that seem to buck the norm, and stand out as truly not heard in mainstream music. Closure in Moscow usually does a pretty decent job of creating songs that sound as though they were never meant …

Dichotomy was released in 2008 and produced by Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad. The name Dichotomy fits really well as the sound on the album are two opposites merged together, they do this really well, this album is less emotionless then Physics of fire, that was a good …
