This album by Sonic Youth aroused a mixed reaction in me. On the one hand and I thought that this album could have been a lot better. On the other hand it still has a number of very good songs and some features, some very impressive features, which were …

Watered-Down Love is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. The track starts out with a very upbeat sound, as do many of Dylan’s songs from his religious period, and Dylan sings in a melody which sounds unnaturally poppy in my opinion. To …

Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg starred in the mega-hit romantic film, Ghost, back in 1990 and this review is centered on the Ghost soundtrack CD, which begins appropriately with the oh-so-endearing and tender Unchained Melody, sung by the Righteous Brothers. It’s the perfect number for the …

The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …

The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for 500 Days of Summer is probably one of the best movie soundtracks that I have ever owned. Whoever was in charge of picking the songs to go in this movie did a wonderful job of it. These are songs that both remind me …

This music features T.I. and the gorgeous and talented Keri Hilson singing Got Your Back. This music is really cute and it’s perfect for couples. The music is all about a guy and his girl staying together whether they’re rich or they’re poor and whether it’s up or downs …

Overview —“ Painkiller, the 12th album released by Judas Priest, is surprisingly one of my favorite albums ever released by them. I said surprisingly because generally, by a band’s 12th album they really aren’t very good anymore, or at least they’re not all that great, but something about this …

Overview - Long John Silver, Jefferson Airplane’s seventh effort, is an album that truly relied on Jorma Kaukonen, if he was not on this album, it would’ve been miles worse than what it was. Although the album really isn’t that good by any means, I’d say just average at …
