This is an old CD track, that I browsed through the other night, and was going like “OHHHHHh”. I gushed loudly, as I was missing this track so much, and to finally found it in a box stacked away in my store-room, was like a feeling of meeting …

I recently rediscovered the grunge and hard rock band called “Pearl Jam”. They were one of my favourite bands in the early 2000s when I first started discovering my love for hard rock music and bands such as Creed, and Lifehouse. These days, I’ve begun to do some re-exploring …

I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …

I love Timbaland, and he’s always so sensual and melodramatic sometimes when it comes to his songs but they’re really wholesome, and when I heard Katy Perry was going to sing her too I was very ecstatic as I love her, and although they might have come off as …

I very clearly remember the first time I heard “Vision of Love” on the radio. I heard those first few notes on my local radio station and stopped everything I was doing. I just listened. I remember thinking at first it was Whitney Houston but then …

MGMT are an electro rock group from America in which I have recently took a liking to. I was at the gym at 17:00 on a treadmill and got a call from a friend saying that someone had backed out of going to a gig and that I …

Overview —“ The self-titled debut album by System Of A Down definitely made a new mark on the genre of metal in my opinion. During the time of this album’s release, there honestly wasn’t a whole lot of good heavy music still going on like it had been during …

Usually, the NOW CD’s have a sad compilation of songs that did ‘alright’ that year in the Top 40 charts. NOW 23, however, did have songs that did extremely well and whose titles I actually remembered. There were one or two songs that I didn’t recognize, but the rest …

I have always been a fan of Lana Del Rey. She has an incredibly, one of a kind voice, a sexy and sultry style, and meaningful lyrics. “Ultraviolence” is her third album, and as a fan, I was not disappointed. I have heard all of her previous work so …

You Me At Six have eventually managed to impress me! I actually like their new album. I think I didn’t like their debut album Take Off Your Colours because I did not like Josh’ voice, but his vocals have vastly improved for their new album. The only thing I …

I’ve never heard of Chris Daughtry nor his band Daughtry. But when I heard the song ‘Home’, I came to appreciate his music.
Then, there was a radio station which played ‘Over You’. Upon hearing that music, I admired Chris Daughtry’s music all the more.
The way Chris Daughtry interprets the …

I remember when Drake was just this little kid on the Degrassi show filmed out of Canada. I would watch it every time it was on. He was the kid who ended up in a wheelchair after he got shot pretty much for no reason. During the show, there …

The Album believe by Justin Bieber was the turning point in his career. This album was intended to show the singer leaving his childhood, sweet school romance styled music behind, and into a life of a teen/adult. Though many people were unsure this would work, I have to Personally …

This is one of the songs that broke my heart. Not anyone may have experienced what the writer must have felt. But I do. I really do. Maybe that’s the reason why it appealed to me that much.
Technically judging, the tune is not that sad enough to mean what …

This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …

The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now. I have been a huge fan since Roses and I would really like to eliminate their song #Selfie from their discography because that song is atrocious and a disgrace in the music industry. So did this new Halsey collaboration …

I haven’t seen Craig David for a while since his last singles that made it to the charts. I have thought about him when a saw a huge billboard of him plastered in the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge in Makati Metro Manila. Craig david used to release quite a number of …

Night Flight is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. Plant starts singing in with the song right away and wastes no time establishing the melody of the song. Throughout the first verse there’s nothing all that impressive to me so far, everything is …

Time Passes Slowly is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album New Morning. This track opens up with a piano which gradually builds up and somewhat reminded me of jazz if it would’ve continued, but unfortunately it doesn’t go on for too long. Dylan comes in …

Citizen Erased is a song by Muse which appears on their record Origin Of Symmetry. The song starts off with an unpleasant guitar riff by Matt Bellamy before just about an equally unpleasant bass line and drum rhythm come in. However, at around thirty seconds the song thankfully gets …

Whoever had the idea for the Take Thats music video for Flood, stumbled on a great concept for me. Some people might look at this and wonder why on earth someone has put Take That in a rowing boat but that’s because they have not actually taken any note …

Apotheosis sound of the band Jimmy Miller, who in the mid-60s reconverted the beethelian copy into a single group, introducing the black sound across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, for this reason, I found the very Ry Cooder and Al Kooper in the credits, putting the album in a worthy …

Lee Ryan… A singer? According to me yes, but not only: The right word is an “Artist”!
The ex Blue singer came out this year 2006 with his new first personal album: “Lee Ryan“.
Total of 12 songs painted with the harmony of Lee angel voice…
Personally there’re not so cool songs, …

My All Cover Version by Siti Nurhaliza is awesome, and I’ve listened to her singing this cover version from Mariah Carey before. I really love it, and Siti sang using her own style of voice range and the sound is very cheery and awesome sounding.
For those of …

Regina Spektor is the most adorable female recording artist I know of. She has an amazing voice, a great look, and is talented in more ways than one. Her ability to play the piano is a definite plus and I love the way she sounds live. Her style is …

Live At Woodstock is probably the best recording of Jimi Hendrix live behind Band Of Gypsys.This is pretty much the reason most people have heard about him through the generations.His cherished rendition of The Star Spangled Banner is as beautiful as it is distinctive.However, you will find a special …

The Gaslight Anthem is a punk rock band from New Jersey. “The 59 Sound” is there second album less than two years, but it seems like they have been working on this forever. They are quoted as saying that Bruce Springsteen is one of their main influences …

I admit that even though I have been reviewing mostly indie and alternative music in this site, I’m still a huge fan of Pop music especially after country superstar Taylor Swift converted into the genre.
Obviously, we all know that Taylor Swift was not a pop star for at least …

Overview —“ South Of Heaven, the fourth album released by Slayer, definitely slowed things down after the extremely thrash driven Reign In Blood. I know that when people tend to think of slayer they think of extremely heavy metal, but more importantly, they think of extremely fast metal. When …

Bassists look for the same things when they buy a bass guitar: beefy tone, comfortable feel, great versatility, and of course, a killer look! I had all of these things in mind when I went searching for a new bass guitar. I have recently become busy with …

Yellowcard is known for two songs. Its first one, Ocean Avenue, and its other Way Away. Now, the first one got a lot publicity and was on the VMA’S which was a big plus. Then it went off the radar for a while and came back a little back …

I never got into Tupac. I actually find him to be pretty overrated and I was more of a Biggie fan myself. I haven’t heard much of his stuff, but overall it failed to impress me.
The exception to that rule is a track called “California …

Everyone in Texas knows about ZZ Top unless you have been living on another planet in the last 30 years. ZZ Top is Texas spun and homegrown, southern fried rock and roll that everyone from young to old loves to sing and dance to. ZZ Top came out with …

John Denver sings the song ‘Rocky Mountain High’. He sings about how they destroy the forest and burn it to make way for more people to move further and further out into what used to be the wilderness which scars the land and ruins the natural beauty. This song …

Liquid Dreams is a challenge to sing for me. It has an upbeat style and fast. I lose my breath at some parts and you will see all my saliva getting out of my mouth as I continue to sing the song. I watched the video of this song …

The Arrested Cats is the third album released by Sledding With Tigers. As a follow up to The Hill Sheep, I can thankfully say that I think Sledding With Tigers really fulfill their potential in terms of songwriting on this record. Although the album does certainly retain the youthful …

Communist Daughter is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and the seventh song on their second release In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Transitioning out of where the previous track left off, the song opens up with a fairly confusing combination of sounds and noises which is really only …

She thinks my tractors sexy by Kenny Chesney is a song for a guy who lives on a farm and has a girl friend who likes tractors. This song also ditches all other vehicles other than tractors. I listen to this song all the time because it talks …

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with German hard rock band Bonfire. Some of their albums i really, really like and others don’t do much for me at all. For me, their whole output between about 1995 and 2007 was all pretty ordinary and most …

I had one of these moments but thought I would have a listen to …

I am a music lover. I love different types of music and I also love to play the guitar and piano. As I have said, I just love music. I do not have a music preference. I have music favorites which are slow, others are fast and some are …

I rarely appreciate R & B music and thinks these songs are just plain addition to the music genre but does not have “sense” to begin with. I guess I was proved wrong when Boyz II Men have emerged from the scene and made it well in the charts, …
