Overview - Fear Of The Dark, Iron Maiden’s ninth effort, follows with the traditional standards I have for an Iron Maiden album: great vocal performance, excellent guitar riffs, harmonies, and solos, and just great songwriting in general. Most of Fear Of The Dark follows through on these standards aside …

Overview —“ Waiting, the third music video released by Green Day in promotion of their album Warning would have to be what I would consider an unneeded music video. The song Waiting itself is a pretty mediocre song in my opinion and the music video would have to fall …

Are You Sure Hank Done It This way is by Waylon Jennings. It seems like he is asking a question about how Hank made it big because he is trying to copy him. I personally don’t think anyone needs to copy how someone else made it to be successful …

Overview —“ Orion, Metallica’s second instrumental and penultimate track on Master Of Puppets, is the song that I believe I consider to be my favorite out of Metallica’s nine albums and career. The pure musical genius that goes into Orion is unmatched by any Metallica instrumentals to precede or …

Around The Fur is the Deftones second album, released in 1997, again produced by Terry Date. The band has stated the meaning of Around The Fur is something thats not bad, but not good around the fur. My Own Summer is one of the best songs ever, the song …

Blackout is a track by Muse which appears on Absolution. The first thing I want to say about Blackout is that the introduction to this song is the one of the best sections of music that I’ve ever heard Muse write, at least the best out of all the …

I first discovered the alternative band Lifehouse in 2001 when I heard their single Hanging By a Moment. I loved the song and Jason Wade’s voice so much that I had to buy their album, No Name Face. Usually an album has one or two songs that I do …

Anatholi Bulkin is a guitarist, known jazz compositions that attractive and interesting. Maybe like that seen in the album Initiation (1999), together, Anders Hentze (drums), and Jonas Reingold (bass). A progressive jazz album rich with elements of Afro-Cuban culture. Jazz compositions that He created quite a lot, with a …

Jordin Sparks is such an awesome person. Not only is she young, but she is also talented and I think for someone with a nice image as her, she has a nice big voice to boot too. However, the songs inside are quite on average. I think …

Skillet’s seventh album “Comatose” brings out all the things I love about this band. Their deep and meaningful lyrics and incredible sound and music style that’s all their own. “Rebirthing” is the perfect mix of everything Skillet. The melodious string arrangement. The edgy rock sound …

Criminal is a song by Eminem which is the finishing track for his record The Marshal Mathers LP. The song opens up with a spoken word section from Eminem which is nothing impressive in itself, but I will say is a clever segue and fluid transition into the bulk …

This magical show was filmed at Wembley Arena back in April 2004 and the DVD was released in November 2005. I bought a copy as soon as it came out and I have to say that I haven’t stopped watching it since. I must have watched it a million …

In 1983, I attended a concert with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band playing. It was a wonderful concert. The best concert I had been to in a very long time. Fully enjoyed myself. It was my pleasure to once again get to see …

As I mentioned in a couple other reviews, I like dance and electronic music. However, at one point in my life, I had a love for eighties dance and new wave music. Now most of what I would hear would be from listening to songs being played on the …

Before the worldwide madness of EYE OF THE TIGER, Survivor were slowly making their way in the music scene and Premonition is their second album. Though 1981 is actually my birth year, my musical taste is actually quite large and i feel i know these albums just as well …

Like many other people I was really excited about the return of Doctor who in 2005, and very much the same every time that it has been back on our screens in the past 4 years. What I loved even more was the music that you could hear during …

Something a little different to some of their newer releases. Patience. A slower track, clear but very easy to listen to.
It’s not so directly about love this time. I think it’s probably about a relationship break down that has the potential to be reignited.
The reason why I like this …

While Kenny Rogers has certainly never been one of my favourite singers, the country and western singer seems to be beloved by many of the people in my country. I can even remember that he was invited to sing as one of the international artistes at the Air …

Every Planet We Reach Is Dead is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their album Demon Days. The track opens up with a rhythm that I think could best described as fairly lazy. I also do not mean to use this term in a negative connotation here, …

I have known about this song for a while now, since it came out a few years ago. But I had no idea that it was by Miranda Lambert. The only time I had ever heard of her is when she won the award for best female video at …

This Gone with the Wind soundtrack CD is labeled as ‘The New Recording of Max Steiner’s Classic’. It was done with LaserLight Digital technology. It has one big plus and one big minus in my book.
The big plus is that this music is as wonderful as ever. …

Daddy’s Hands was recorded by Holly Dunn in 1986. It was an instant hit around the country. It is a story about a woman who realizes after he father’s death exactly what was in daddy’s hands. They lyrics more than hint at the fact that daddy was too busy …

I have put off writing about the musician Bruno Mars for so long, but after reading one or two reviews on Reviewstream.com about his music and how the reviewers thought he was such a great musician, I decided that I might as well give my input. Let me begin …

Atlanta is the closing track on Stone Temple Pilots album No. 4. I find this song to be comfortably soothing, and a suitable song to close an excellent album with. The song starts off very simple but becomes more and more layered as it progresses on.
“Atlanta” is a slower …

Remember the band Sixpence None the Richer? The really super cool band with their main female lead singer and I bought their CD recently titled, The Best of Sixpence None the Richer. There are close to 20 songs inside and it brings me down to memory lane just …

This record is appalling. I remember coming to this conclusion as soon as I listened to this record for the first time, and I still believe that this is the case. There is really nothing redeeming that can ever be said about this album, from my point of view, …

Dreams from The Corrs is awesome. The Corrs is at their most peak/popular during the late 1999s or early 2000s, I’m not so sure. In between those times, I was so heavily into buying their CD singles and albums.
Their songs are very Irish-influenced since they hail …

Imagine Frank Sinatra being reborn as a college boy in the 21st century, and you will have a fair picture of what singer Michael Buble is all about. I think he has a French last name, although he was born in Burnaby, Canada instead of the Quebecois region …

In my opinion, it is really rare for a celebrity such as an actor/actress or famous athlete to successfully cross over into the music industry. That is why when I found out that Jared Leto’s band 30 Seconds to Mars actually sounds really good, I was seriously impressed. The …
