Metallica - Eye Of The Beholder (Song)

Metallica - Don’t Tread On Me (Song)
Don’t Tread On Me, another one of the more aggressive songs from The Black Album, isn’t exactly a song which I enjoy too much, and ironically, James Hetfield supports this. Don’t Tread On Me isn’t a terrible song, but it does sound slightly forced in my opinion and it …
Hank Jones: Tender Moments CD
The Hank Jones: Tender Moments CD is for those of us who love the crooners and the beautiful love songs and ballads they bring us about life. These songs are among Jones’ favorites, and many of them are counted as favorites of mine as well, beginning with the …
Human Nature by Michael Jackson
In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …
“Dreaming Out Loud” Album by OneRepublic
OneRepublic’s “Dreaming Out Loud” is a stellar debut album, in my humble opinion. OneRepublic is a rock band that recently became very popular on the radio, MTV, MySpace, and pretty much everywhere else in the music scene. It came out awhile ago but I just recently picked it up …
Circle of Our Love song

Gogol Bordello - Haltura (Song)
Haltura is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. The track opens up with a fairly vague atmosphere before a more definitive rhythm is established and the typical dance-feel rhythm of Gogol Bordello comes into play. One complaint I have against …
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Overview —“ Rust In Peace, Megadeth’s fourth album, is considered the band’s greatest achievement and it’s also my personal favorite album from the band. For one thing, Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman never sounded so good together as they do on this album, the way that Friedman’s solos work …

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (Song)
Nothing Else Matters, the second ballad on Metallica’s self-titled record, is another one of the stronger songs in this record in my opinion. If you notice, the stronger songs on this record actually went more in the melodic direction which emphasizes the change that Metallica went through from And …
Umbrella by Rihanna, Music
Somebody please, give this girl some water! She is literally out of breath repeating the words “ella ella ella” over, and over, and over again.
Yes, I understand that Rihanna wants to shield her friends and lovers under her umbrella till the end, but what is up with the …
The Flaming Lips - Gingerale Afternoon (Song)
Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology Of A Saturday) is a song by the Flaming Lips and the fifth track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Taking on a slightly more rock sound than the two preceding tracks on this record, Gingerale Afternoon establishes a pretty catchy …
Love in this Club song by Usher ft. Young Jeezy
Love in this Club is a slow and somehow really addictive song to listen to and also slow dance to. It is sung by Usher and it has a bit of a “bad boy” flare to it as well, which makes the chorus of the song even more appealing …
The Flaming Lips - Begs And Achin’ (Song)
Begs and Achin’ is a song by The Flaming Lips and the final song on their third record, Telepathic Surgery. Like the band has done in some of the preceding tracks on this record, the general sound of Begs And Achin’ is somewhat of a punk rock sound, but …

What has happened to Michael Learns To Rock lately..? They have not been making any music; not that I know of. They are an icon personally to me and it would be a real great loss in the music industry if they are really not there anymore. …
Buffet E11 Clarinet
The Buffet E11 Clarinet- The standard-issue clarinet that schools give out (if they can afford better than a Yamaha or Jupiter).

Animal Collective - Whaddit I Done (Song)

Strange Mercy 2011 Album by St.Vincent (Annie Clark)
I first came across the female musician called St.Vincent when she was a guest, along with David Byrne, on the Colbert Report. David Byrne is the leader of the legendary band Talking Heads, and I have been quite familiar with their music for years, while St.Vincent was an attractive …
Meshuggah Obzen
Released in March of 2008 on Nuclear Blast Records Obzen is the band’s 6th album, the name means to be at peace with the obscure, or at Zen with. The album is really really heavy, the band uses a real drummer on this one, they used a drum …
The Knife - I Just Had To Die (Song)
I Just Had To Die is a song by The Knife which appears on their self-titled record. The song opens up with a rhythm which is sort of interesting at first, but draws slightly annoying after a few repetitions in my opinion. In my opinion, the vocals could’ve been …

Metallica And Lou Reed - The View (Song)

“Move Along” Album by The All American Rejects
“Move Along” by the All American Rejects is just an average album. To be quite honest, I kind of wish that I had not spent the money on this song. My overall opinion of this album is that there are a few good songs on the album but the …
The Way You Look Tonight by Rod Stewart
The Way You Look Tonight is a song that Rod Stewart recorded much later in his career when he had a strong foothold on his audience. He became a much more mellow singer as he grew a bit older and the songs that he sings will melt the heart …

Here In My Life by Darlene Zschech
A very powerful voice by Darlene Zschech as she sings the song Here In My Life which deeply touched my spirit as I sing this song along even if I was alone or with somebody. I like how high is Darlene’s pitch. She is one of the best singers …
Alligator- Tegan and Sara
Alligator is one of the singles off of Tegan and Sara’s latest album Sainthood, and one of my favourites off of this album. I am a huge Tegan and Sara fan, and their music rarely disappoints me. This album most definitely moves in a new direction from The Con, …

Green Day - Warning (Music Video)

Ciara
“And I”
Goodies
LaFace Records

Finally, Ciara does a music video by herself and without any guest artists featured in it. Sweet. This is the fourth and final single/music video from the “Goodies” album, titled “And I”. The song is a slow R&B ballad and is a unique departure …

Metallica And Lou Reed - Little Dog (Song)

Green Day - See The Light (Song)
See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …
Baby 81 2007 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Well, I think that this album is good, but not as good as other BRMC albums, like their first record, “Take Them On, On Your Own”, and, of course, “Howl”, the latter, from my point of view, being their very best album.
To appreciate and assess this album (Baby 81), …
