Van Halen 2 album
An album that really doesnt stand out in the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen is the album Van Halen 2. I really like this album because it still had the classic Van Halen tone with more of a punchy sound to it. Although no Van Halen album …
Deftones Around The Fur

Panopticon black-metal band - Roads to the North album
Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. In the album Roads to the North, Panopticon not only brings in your typical instruments (guitars, drums and vocals) that you find in a rock/metal …
Lady Antebellum (Band)
I am such a huge fan of country music. I like the fact that it is so natural and free-flowing. Both the lyrics and the music are playful and I can easily relate to them.
A friend of mine first introduced Lady Antebellum to me with their hit single …
Christina Aguilera (singer)
These days, I am not even in the slightest bit interested in both Christina Aguilera’s music and Christina Aguilera herself; however when Christina first became popular years ago in my early years of high school, I had been interested in her music and she since was also one of …

The Slip, 2008 Album by NIN
This album is quite a let-down. This album was released by Trent Reznor for free in its digital form. The release was very unconventional in its form. And I think that it was correct that this album was free. The thing is that this album is not very good. …
Asia-Fight Against The Tide from Archiva
The craziness that is Asia; remains to captivate me to this day from when I first heard one of their songs called “Heat of the Moment.” It’s one of those one hit wonder bands from the eighties that turned out to be way more talented and enjoyable than the …

Nine Inch Nails - Discipline (Song)
Discipline is a track by Nine Inch Nails which appears on The Slip. Discipline opens up with a very drum beat and then gives way to some synthesizers which obviously add that industrial and electronic feel which I typically associate with Nine Inch Nails. The vocal melody to Discipline …
Mastodon Remission CD
Mastodon is literally not your average Metal band. In our American wasteland of poor excuses for Metal(with the exception of Tool, Deftones, System of a Down, a small handful of other exceptional bands), Mastodon reigns supreme as one of the top bands to emerge from America’s underground scene. Usually, …

Circus by Britney Spears

Gold Cobra, 2011 Album by Limp Bizkit

White Liar Music Video by Miranda Lambert
I saw this music video after the CMT Music Awards. I didn’t think I was going to like it but since it won an award, I figured I would listen to it and see if it really deserved it. I had wanted Carrie Underwood to win for “Cowboy Casanova”. …
Mumford And Sons - Winter Winds (Song)

Soulja Boy

Long way to go by Cassie
Long way to go by Cassie is a song about how this girl is saying this guy has a long way to go before he can even date her. This song is another song I like by cassie because it’s about a girl making a guy wait because he …
Evacuate the Dancefloor
I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …
The Corrs Unplugged Video

NOW 23 CD
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 …
Green Day - When I Come Around (Music Video)
Overview —“ When I Come Around, the second music video released by Green Day also comes off of their third album Dookie. The song itself isn’t too bad, it’s not really one of my favorites off of Dookie but I do think it’s a good song, but I’ll admit …

Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD

Muse - Assassin (Song)

System Of A Down - Hypnotize
Overview —“ Hypnotize, the second half of System Of A Down’s double album release Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is a good album to pick off where Mezmerize left off and continue in a similar style, feel, and sound as the aforementioned album. I’m not positive but I believe that both were completed …
The Hunting Party, by Linkin Park
I’m just like any other Linkin Park fan; I loved Hybrid Theory and Meteora, I had mixed feelings for Minutes To Midnight, and the other two releases — the names escape me — are forgettable, although some of their songs were catchy enough to be memorable. The Hunting Party, …
