Disciple is a song by Slayer which starts out with a somewhat slow rhythm in comparison to an average Slayer song to be honest. When Araya first came in I thought his vocal tone was going to be absolutely terrible, and although it seems slightly bad on this track, …
She Won’t Be Lonely Long, by Clay Walker

The majority of this featurette is Josh Groban discussing the tour and what it …
The Canadian Brass: The Canadian Brass Go For Baroque CD
I’d forgotten I had The Canadian Brass: The Canadian Brass Go For Baroque CD to be honest. Now that’s not a bad sign about how I feel about it; it was just buried beneath a large stack of other CDs and remained hidden in a sense.
This was actually …

Howl 2005 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
