But …
Geoff Love: Western Themes CD
Quite honestly, I have no idea who Geoff Love is, but I assume he’s a band leader somewhere in the world. I had to get this CD, though, because it’s one of a handful I know of that includes the theme music to my all-time favorite western TV …

Toto : Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is one of the best albums owned by Toto. At least, it is my opinion, and I’m sure with many people who have the same opinion. Composition of sweet song and very melodic, even though I know that is very difficult to play songs that have Toto’s tempo …
Eminem - Criminal (Song)
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 …
Syd Barrett - Barrett
Overview - Barrett, the second solo record of Syd Barrett, is more stripped down songwriting - basically the exact opposite of his work in Pink Floyd. While in Pink Floyd Barrett worked a lot with very frantic and chaotic psychedelic music, but this album really isn’t like that at …

R. Kelly
“Slow Wind”
TP-3 Reloaded
Jive Records
It’s the sequel to “Fiesta”, it’s another “Four Page Letter” from Aaliyah, no wait, it’s “Slow Wind”! The third single and music video from R. Kelly’s solo album TP3 Reloaded, following “Trapped in the Closet” and “Playas Only”. It looks almost like a watered down …

Jagged Little Pill album by Alanis Morrissette
One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …
Postal Service

Its original price was SGD$642 but I bought it at SGD$350.
Black glossy finish with a Wizard II like neck, Ibanez …
Red, 1974 Album by King Crimson
This album of five songs is a diamond. I got a copy of it rather early in my music-listening career, when I was about thirteen years old. The guy who sold me this record was insisting: If you liked the King Crimson album In the Wake of Poseidon, you …
System Of A Down - Innervision (Song)

Peeps For Sale: Ghost Peeps CD

Metallica - The Shortest Straw (Song)
The Shortest Straw, the fifth track on And Justice For All is one of the tracks which I would personally chose to be a representation for this record. If I were to asked to select a few songs off of And Justice For All which I felt did a …

Do You Think I’m Sexy by Paris Hilton / Cher
This song, Do You Think I’m Sexy has 2 versions that I’ve listened to and I don’t really like both of these singers sounding. They are Paris Hilton and Cher. This song is actually a cover version which Paris did, but as for Cher, I might think this …

Plan B - The Recluse - Single

His varied style I really like, his songs …

Celine Dion: Let’s Talk About Love CD
The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.
Treat Her …
Flavors Of Entanglement
Seeing the name of Guy Sigsworth as a producer of Alanis Morissette album, titled Flavors Of Entanglement, I had felt worried. Alanis will lose in style, remember that Guy has been working on albums for artists such as Björk, Madonna or Britney Spears. But after hearing the 11 tracks …
Song: It’s a Little Too Late by singer Toby Keith
It’s a little too late is a good song remake by singer Toby Keith. I have heard the original version and I have to be honest, I like Toby Keith’s version much better. It may be because I love the video and his humor. Toby Keith has an amazing …
Kanye West- Graduation
Graduation overall sounds very laid back. It’s a bit more relaxed, than what you might be used to but it’s defiantly an album that you are going to want to buy if you love Kanye.
This is a solid and enjoyable collection. There are no skits or fillers that make …

Song: “Your and Your Hand” by Pink
“Your and Your Hand” by Pink has to be one of the catchiest songs I have heard on the radio in the past few years. At first I thought it was Kelly Clarkson, but realized it was Pink. I should have figured Ms. Clarkson wouldn’t want to ruin …

13, 1999 Blur album
This album is really good, and I think that it deserves a lot more credit, when one looks at it retrospectively. By this I mean that most people associate Blur with their first records, and the songs that were on their first albums, whereas the later ones kind of …
Cryptopsy - Endless Cemetery (song)
“Endless Cemetery” is the last song on Cryptopsy’s 5th album “Once Was Not”. One thing to mention is that this is the first album that features the original vocalist Lord Worm since Cryptopsy’s masterpiece album “None So Vile”. Unfortunately, this would also be Lord Worm’s last time appearing on …
