Well, to start off, I hope you guys reading this review watched Gundam Seed last time. That was where my love for H&MC(High and Mighty Color )started. They’re a rock band, it was BECAUSE OF THEM, I actually fell in love with Japanese music too.
They really get you …

Tim McGraw has been around country music for a while now and he has made a great success of career and his family all at the same time. He, along with his wife, Faith Hill, have been great at what they do no matter what it is. They shine …

I missed this album when it was first released last year, but recently i had a chance to check it out and i’m pretty glad i did. I hadn’t really heard much from Tracey Bonham since she hit the charts with the song Mother Mother, so i really didn’t …

Lily Of The West is a traditional song which is performed and recorded by Bob Dylan for his album entitled Dylan. The track starts off with an acoustic guitar strumming a chord pattern along with a steady bass line and drum pattern providing the main rhythm of the track …

Ghost is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which appears on their second release, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Opening with a quick acoustic guitar strumming pattern, a fuzzy rhythm soon enters the mix which gives Ghost a slightly heavier feeling and a more interesting rhythm compared to …

This song is one of the realest country songs I have ever heard. My older sister wanted me to make her a country mp3 cd for Christmas, so that’s about one hundred or more songs. So I randomly came across this song, I didn’t even plan on listening to …

Lil Wayne is one of the most popular rappers out on the markets right now, but is he really that good? I will admit that some of his songs have a good beat, and sound pretty good, but the majority of them are absolutely horrendous. He has turned from …

Three years does not make Hoobastank experienced many changes, at least from their style of music. ForNever, the four albums that came after Every Man For Himself in 2006, seemed to be a repetition of this band. My Turn, the first single released on October 13, 2008, is the …

I just love this cd, this man is sooo talented and i would recommend eveyone to go and get this for your collection!!
His smooth, soulful voice is so powerful and unique.
A mixture of smooth soul and funk with maybe a little jazz in there too.
My favourite track on this …

R. Kelly
“Trapped In The Closet, Part 11″
TP-3 Reloaded
Jive Records
We’ve had a somewhat successful and mostly borderline interesting ten chapters so far in this series. And so begins Chapter 11 of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series. We have a protagonist, his brother in law, a policeman, his …

I would like to retract my perhaps harsh previous review of Madonna. I found myself glancing at the top 20 billboard chard for 2008 so far and decided to buy the full album and listen to it in its entirety; I had previously heard quite a bit of it, …

DJ Tomek ft. Lil’ Kim and Trooper Da Don
“Kimnotyze”
Beat of Life, Volume 1
Sony BMG
This is probably the only music video that I have seen thus far where Lil’ Kim actually looks more desirable and less like thrash which she has portrayed herself as in many of her past music …

I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)
Eminem comes back after a very long pause (at least for me). Since the “Encore” which was released in 2004 …

Jay-Z ft. Gwen Dickey
“Wishing on a Star”
In My Lifetime, Volume 1
Roc-A-Fella Records
“Wishing on a Star” is a little known single and music video that can only be found on the United Kingdom release of his second album “In My Lifetime, Volume 1″. No wonder it’s so little known because …

The Black Eyed Peas used to be one of my favorite groups but they have recently started to annoy me. All of their songs are heavily edited to the point where you wonder if you are actually hearing their true voices. They try way too hard at being “futuristic”, …

‘Abbey Road’ was the final great Beatles album, and was actually an album quite light in tone, and one which gave little indication of the forthcoming break-up of the world’s greatest-ever rock and pop group - especially with an opening rocker entitled ‘Come Together’. John Lennon, well into the …

Hot Love Drama is a song by MGMT which appears on their debut record, Climbing To New Lows. If you read my review on MGMT’s previous track, Money To Burn, then you’ll have seen that my main complaint against that track was that it felt like it lacked energy, …

Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …

Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …

The Behind the Big Orange Curtain featurette shows the beginning of the Josh Groban Awake concert from Salt Lake City, Utah. I love seeing this behind the scenes look. I’m very interested by seeing how concepts come together and what goes in to making a production come …

Enya - A Day Without Rain came to me as birthday gift from one of my dearest and closets friends. Today it still remains one of my most cherished gifts every recieved. I have been following the career of Enya from the first time I heard the song on …

Black Mirror is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second release, Neon Bible. For a fan who has only heard this band’s first release, Funeral, I will say that the overall sound on Black Mirror is going to strike you as very odd because of how …

Hold Your Head is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with some noise effects, actual instrumentation begins to come in after around twenty seconds to create an atmosphere which sounds pretty empty and confusing in …

Rattlehead is a song by Megadeth which appears on their debut record, Killing Is My Business… And Business is Good. Rattlehead starts off in an extremely fast manner and this is definitely the definition of early thrash metal in my opinion. The guitar riff is extremely rapid and Mustaine …

Garage Inc. is the eight studio album by heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on 1998, after Metallica’s Re-loaded album. This one is filled with cover versions of various heavy metal, trash metal and hard rock bands like Misfits, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and many others. Garage …

This song, Irreplaceable by Beyonce is so describing my love life right now. I just love it and whenever I have moments that I think my boyfriend is not appreciate me enough, I would put on this music and listen to it on repeat mode.
I like the …

Different Names For The Same Thing is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their record Plans. The song opens up with a piano-led introduction which then gives way to the vocal performance which seems to have some effect on it which makes it seem slightly …

I have to say I’m digging Akon’s song Freedom on his new album also titled Freedom. I think the song probably clicks with me because Akon is an immigrant’s son and my parents were immigrants too.
In a time like this when a lot of people don’t like immigrants, a …

For those guitar players out there, you know how hard it can be to find good tabs for popular songs, and when you find one there are usually a few mistakes. While you try to find the tab to a song like “All Nightmare Long” you will find that …

Clint Black: D’lectrified is an album done without the use of any electrical instruments; hence the title of the CD.
I’m not a huge fan of this country music singer, but I think I liked him better before he did the Celebrity Apprentice. He was a nice guy, …

Hey Light is a song by Animal Collective and the second to appear on their fourth record, Here Comes The Indian. Continuing in a similar way to the previous track on the record, Hey Light opens up with a somewhat chaotic sounding introduction, but thankfully the band doesn’t go …

I don’t think I still need to spell it out…just by the name Led Zeppelin you will know how great and how amazing this album can be, you will just unconsiously tell yourself “this is going to be an incredible album!”.
The BBC Session Album is my most favorite remastered …

The first time i heard this album was around 3 years ago. A friend had bought it after watching Emiliana Torrini live on Youtube and gushing about her for weeks. Previously, i’d only heard a couple of singles from her first album (Love in the time of Science) & …

Chris Norman may not exactly be a household name these days, but let me assure you that no matter who you are there is a good chance that you have heard at least one or two of his songs in your life. The main one would be LIVING NEXT …

This summer I had the pleasure of meeting one of the best people ever. That person is the lead singer of my favorite band, Nine Days. Around 2001, Nine Days had a popular song on the radio called “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”. John is the …

Overview —“ Speed Metal Symphony, the debut album released by Cacophony is one of the best examples of an album I can think of where the guitarists work extremely well together. For those of you who don’t know, Cacophony is basically a neo-classical band whose two guitarists were Jason …

Sad Songs is a track by Andrew Jackson Jihad which is the tenth track on their latest album, Knife Man. Opening up with a catchy rhythm, the vocals quickly come into the song with a melody that is just as catchy as the rhythm itself. Something to note about …

Fitter Happier is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. Opening up in a very unorthodox manner, the track features a robotic voice reading off some words which is actually very prominent throughout the majority of this track. After the robotic voice goes on for …

What I do remember in this song is the part where Git Fresh is sing Bam bam bam part and the ding ding ding ding part. It also uses the intro of the song Tom’s Dinner by Suzanne Vega, so it is easy to remember. It is a great …

.I needed something to tune my guitar with since I lost my old tuner. I found this AT-3 for $10 at Guitar Center. It was cheap and looked functional enough for me, so I decided to buy it and give it a shot. Figured I didn’t have much to …

The Lantern is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request. I’ll say right now that The Lantern has an extremely odd structure which makes describing this song somewhat difficult because the track is extremely unpredictable and is constant changing in ways …

The Shadows fall band is all hype and I do not know what the big deal with them is. Shadows Falls really has no good songs out there and quit frankly at first they were all metal and than they thought they had talent so they tried to sound …

Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …

I have most recently developed an attatchment to another song that starts off with a slow,flowing, and a tune created by an acoustic guitar. This may seem tedious to an audience who is exposed to almost a million songs that is written about a “sappy” moment in our lives. …

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. …

Holiday, the third track of American Idiot, obviously isn’t as complex or developed as the previous track, Jesus Of Suburbia, but is nevertheless a pretty good song in my opinion. I stated in my review of American Idiot that the title track may not be exactly what Green Day …

Artist: Beyonce ft. Jay-Z
Video: “Upgrade U”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Melina and Beyonce
“Upgrade U” is the fourth single and music video (following “Deja Vu”, “Ring the Alarm”, and “Irreplaceable”) from Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”. Was this music video directed by Hype Williams? Oh wait, no, it was actually co-directed by …

Charlie Manson Blues is a song by The Flaming Lips and the seventh track on their debut release, Hear It Is. Opening up with a driving distorted guitar riff, Charlie Manson Blues somewhat takes on the feel of Unplugged, but it isn’t simply a repetition of what the band …

Survivor are a bit of an acquired taste i know, but throughout the years they have been one of my favorite bands to follow and am a fan of each different era of the band no matter what vocalist they had at the time. Sure the people’s choice is …

This is Sepultura’s 11th album, it is a concept album and a tribute to the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange. The album was released January 23 of 2009, in my opinion the first highly anticipated metal album of the year, my hopes were really high, I love A …
