Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

Ruled By Secrecy is a song by Muse which appears on their album Absolution. The track starts off very quietly with faint pianos coming into the track gradually along with a simple bass line and Bellamy’s vocal melody at an almost inaudible volume. As the song progresses, both the …

Felt Good To Burn is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their record Hit To Death In The Future Head. The song opens up with the vocals coming in pretty much immediately and accompanied by a tambourine and some other instrumentation which unfortunately doesn’t leave much …

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually a fan of upbeat, post-punk, bop-your-head-and-tap-your-toes Rock, but I unshamedly admit that when I put on ‘Almost Here’, not only does my head bop, but my whole body follows along in a strange, convulsing, toe-tapping mess.
The Academy Is’ first album, ‘Almost Here’, …

Right Back is a song by Sublime and is the fourteenth song on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a pretty standard reggae rhythm, Right Back unfortunately seems to lose the unique sound that I thought Sublime achieved with the previous song on the record, …

Stupid Girl is a track by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Aftermath. Stupid Girl opens up with a quick drum part before developing a very light-hearted rhythm which stays pretty much constant throughout the song, or at least some variation of it. I’ve read a few …

We Are the Night by The Chemical Brothers has a good cover CD. There are 2 palms facing side by side on the cover CD and the bluish coloring design is so gorgeous. And this CD has some nice songs too. If you love The Chemical Romance, …

If you are a fan of trip-hop music, then you probably are a fan of Tricky, the U.K.’s resident trip-hop king. Pock-faced, and “gravel-y” voiced, this singer/producer has placed a collection of his most popular songs/ videos on DVD. The DVD has three sections, each with …

A song sang by Westlife, but in my opinion, most likely to have been wrote by their manager, at least he was their manager at the time, Ronan Keating.
The reason why I suggest it was put together by Ronan is the lyrics. This is without doubt a love song, …

(Nice Dream) is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second record, The Bends. The song opens up with a simple acoustic guitar strumming pattern before other instruments begin to join in and fill in the sound. Thom Yorke comes in with the first verse with a very …

I love LeAnn Rimes. The first time I heard the song How do I live I love her already. She has the most powerful vocal range although she sings it with less effort and she sounds country. Not only that, during that time I discovered her, I thought she …

I was prepared to dislike the new CD my husband came home with the other day. I take pride in believing that I have much better tastes in music than he does, and while I know little about Iggy Pop’s recent work, I was skeptical about the new CD, …

All people who have not listened to this album are missing out on a lot. And this album was probably heard mostly by people who lived in 2005 and 2006 in America. The songs on this album are remarkable. It is a shame that this band did not manage …

When I was younger, even though they released most of their hits songs in the nineteen eighties, one of my favourite bands was “Toto”. How I became familiar with them was not through my parents , but I’d hear their songs play from time to time on the radio, …

This Album from Natalie Merchant had exceeded my expectations - which is not that tough, truth to be told; since Natalie Merchant had been very low-profile for a very long time, and I didn’t expect much from her.
Having said that, whenever a person said that something exceeded their …

This song made me cry whenever it is playing. I am imagining myself included on the finalist of American Idol. They are showing my video on how was me on the first time I enter the idol stage until I got into final two. Of course, that is only …

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 …

Overview - In The Dark, The Grateful Dead’s twelfth effort, is overall just an album that I consider average. I’ll be honest say that there are a few good songs on here, and the opening track really left me hopeful for the rest of the album but I was …

I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what this song is really about. When I read the lyrics, I think about death. The blue moon reference, and “take me up in your arms” line makes me think that the lead singer is embracing …

Overview - Killers, the second album by Iron maiden and last to feature Paul Di’Anno, expands on some of the more technical sides that they introduced on their self titled debut album and also incorporates more use of harmony, a crucial aspect of their music that Maiden became known …

This song start starts with piano playing while the vocalist—¦. Of Alias is singing the first stanza. For the first part of the song, the singer already gave his best vocal performance up to the chorus. He is the most powerful male voice. I like him now after Michael …

Turn Into Something is a song by Animal Collective and the final song to appear on their album Feels. Returning to the sound that was prominent throughout the earlier tracks on the record, Turn Into Something has a far more upbeat sound and tempo in comparison to the previous …

Indescribable by Chris Tomlin is a song that sums it all up. Indescribable is just the word to describe what god is. He is hard to explain and in so many ways you can’t explain him that’s why I agree he is one hundred percent Indescribable. I like this …

The Luniz album Operation Stackola is probably one of the best bay area albums to ever come out. This album is great and it is the album that has the hit song I Got 5 on It. This song was big on the radio and everywhere that people heard it. …

Linkin Park’s Album Hybrid theory is one of my all time favorite music CD’s. I am an avid Linkin Park fan and have been to three different concerts featuring Linkin Park. All of them were a blast and each outdid the other. For …

Unconsciously Screaming is a song by the Flaming Lips and the second track on their fourth record, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Taking on a slightly more aggressive sound than the previous track of the record, Unconsciously Screaming features a vocal performance from Coyne which is somewhat harsh throughout …

I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …

The God That Failed is actually a song that I didn’t have a great memory of, probably because I never really listened to this song very much, but after listening to it again, it isn’t too bad of a song. The thing about The Black Album is that none …

Take it off: this is one of my favorite songs off of Kesha’s debut
album, animal. When I first listened to the song, i didn’t like it because the beat of the song is electric sounding. It reminds you of some of the Veronica songs but after awhile I got …

The Changeling is a song by The Doors which appears on their album L.A. Woman. The track starts off with a nice organ part which has this very catchy rhythm and Morrison just sort of grunting some noises which at least adds some character to the track. A lead …

No band in the last few years has been the center of so much debate as Protest the Hero. On one side of the fence there is the haters that will not give them a fair go bacuae they have some ties with the metal-core landscape. But on the …

This 1998 follow up to the successful 1996 album Antichrist Superstar features controversial album art depicting Marilyn Manson in a body suit with fake breasts, and glowing red eyes. Marilyn Manson started a rumor that he got breast implants, and people ate the rumor up. This may be my …

Piggy is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Downward Spiral. Something I’ll mention right away is that this song features real drums which is something Nine Inch Nails really don’t do all that often, but more importantly, the drums are pretty important to …

This girl-group band, a bit similar like Destiny’s Child is known as Cherish and I had this particular album titled Unappreciated by them. They are really 4 awesome black ladies singers and they croon tunes which are really pleasing to my ears.
What’s best is that they are not …

The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song. Listening to the first lyrics of the song, a listener should immediately get a …

Overview —“ Enter Sandman, the second music video ever released by Metallica, comes off of their fifth record, The Black Album, and focuses on the story of a boy and his nightmares. The song itself would have to be one of Metallica’s best known songs because of all the …

Let There Be More Light is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album A Saucerful Of Secrets. The track opens up with a nice distinct guitar riff and also some keyboards coming in behind it which gives the track this very psychedelic sound to it, the …

The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …

Live in Rio is the third DVD made by RBD, a lating group, and it was recorded 10/08/2006 in the stadium of Maracanã - Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, I can remember that day, so amazing. It was released in the end of January of 2007 and until now …

Even though I live in a country far from America, I still admit that I am a really big country music fan. I know it’s kind of the “folk” song local to the United States, but there’s something about country music that I really love. I don’t know if …

Valentimes Is Serious Times is a song by Sledding With Tigers and the final track on their third record, The Arrested Cats. Opening up with probably the most energetic sound the band has had on the entire record, Valentimes Is Serious Times seems to return the band to the …

One genre of music that I feel is hugely underrated and underdeveloped is jazz/rock. It seems that rarely will I find a good jazz/rock combination band, despite the fact that the two styles of music compliment each other so well. The Reign of Kindo is a band that stands …

Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …

This album is fantastic on numerous levels. Probably the most fantastic thing about it is that it was released in 1998. When you listen to this album, it is difficult to believe that. Combinations of rap and rock music were very popular, but not round at that time as …

The Bigger Picture - When Western Trap Is No More Fun
I have had an extremely pessimistic attitude towards trap music for a long time. The position on this is clear: this genre does not have a big future, it is difficult to develop, and due to the huge number …

The Boston series of pianos resulted as a collaboration between piano manufacturers Steinway and Kawai, with Steinway supplying the design and Kawai managing the production. The Boston GP-178, in particular, is my favorite of this series largely because it possesses good string speaking length for great sound while remaining …

This my favorite Katy Perry’s song. And she wrote it! She is so talented and amazing. I didn’t thought she could write a very good song like this. Now I know she’s really a talented woman.
Thinking Of You is for all the girls who lost their boyfriends, either died …

Disintegration/Free Money is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Undisputed Attitude. Like the rest of this record, this song is a cover of a punk band known as Verbal Abuse. To be fair, I didn’t really like this record very much and didn’t think Slayer did …
