Michael Jackson’s “Michael”
Michael Jackson’s latest posthumously released album entitled “Michael”, has been out for nearly four months now. As an avid fan of MJ and his music, I’m rather pleased with the results. Obviously, the tracks lack Jackson’s signature polish and sometimes you can tell where the engineers did something that …
The Rolling Stones - Black Limousine (Song)
Black Limousine is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Tattoo You. The track starts off with a clear blues rhythm and right away you definitely get the sense that this will be a blues-rock song. I don’t mind this at all since it’s better …
Girl Next Door by saving Jane
I really like the song Girl Next Door by saving Jane. I think many young girls can relate to it. The song tells about how the popular girls get everything they want and how the other girls get ignored, left out, or pushed to the side. A line that …

LOVE GUN
Another “live in studio” effort that would be the album KISS’ tour would revolve around on the band’s first excursion into Japan.

Randy Travis: You and You Alone CD
Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …
System Of A Down - Innervision (Song)
Innervision is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their third record, Steal This Album. The track opens up with a guitar rhythm which is driving to say the least followed by Tankian joining in with the vocal delivery. The melody works with the guitar rhythm …

Illmatic - Nas
I thought that the 1994 Illmatic by rapper Nas was a classic and is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. At the time, Nas was a relatively unknown artist and west coast gangsta rap artists were dominating the hip hop scene such as Dr. Dre, …

The Beatles - Come Together (Song)

Marshall Mathers LP 2 album by Eminem
I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …
Yes Live from the House of Blues DVD concert

Laundry Service Album by Shakira
Shakira is one of those artists who has been extremely successful yet somehow manages to fly under the radar until she has huge hits like “She Wolf” or “Beautiful Liar”. She has always been one of my favorite female recording artists because she is an amazing vocalist as well …
Queens of the Stone Age - I Was A Teenage Hand Model (song)
The obscure titled “I Was A Teenage Hand Model” closes out Queens of the Stone Age’s debut self titled album at track 11. What makes this album so weird is that it was released on Roadrunner records which I am most familiar with them releasing Soulfly albums, which are …
Gorillaz, 2001 Album by Gorillaz
I have read that this album has sold over ten million records worldwide. There must have been many reasons for that, but I would go so far as to claim that the music proper was not the biggest reason for this album’s commercial success.
I was about twelve when I …

Song: It’s a Little Too Late by singer Toby Keith

Letter to Me by Brad Paisley

Animal Collective - Here Comes The Indian (Album)

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 …

Garth Brooks: Double Live CD
