I think that this album is a disappointment. I started listening to this album as soon as it was released, in 2004. And even then I immediately disliked what I heard. The music simply did not impress me then. I felt untouched and uninterested by the music I heard. …

Years ago when I was still just becoming familiar with the hard rock and metal genres of music, a late friend of mine introduced me to a band called “Lacuna Coil”. I’d heard gothic bands before, but their music style was almost completely different from anything I’d heard at the …

No More Tears is my favorite solo album by Ozzy Osbourne.I love every song on the album with all of my heart’s content.The reason mainly is Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing.However, I feel like they captured Ozzy’s voice and desire in a very mature time in his life.The overall feel …

Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah part 1: World war 4″ is a classic to me. I state this, because not a lot of people liked this album. With the release of her hit single “Honey” everyone thought the entire album would spawn similar sounding songs. They were wrong. I like …

“Bleed” is the third track off of Meshuggah’s 2008 album Obzen. Technically I believe it is a single off the album but I’m not quite sure. I do know that the song kicks major butt and that they do in fact have a music video for it. So going …

Happenings, the new album by Crosby and Nash feels familiar, but not repetitive. It feels like a telephone call from an old friend rather than a pre-recorded telephone marketing call during dinner.
Like so much of the Baby Boomer generation, Crosby and Nash have made their peace with the problem …

Infant Dressing Table is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth release, Here Comes The Indian. The first thing I should mention about Infant Dressing Table is that it certainly takes its time to establish any type of rhythm. For the first few minutes of this …

Allison Krauss has one of the most amazing voices in country music and this song is just one more proof of that. This is one of my favorite songs by this artist because of the lyrics and the soft but upbeat tune. She proclaims her love for this person …
