Charlotte The Harlot is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a lighthearted guitar riff, although the bass is more prominent in the mix, and the whole introduction has a very moving rhythm in my opinion. The song makes …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …

Ode To C.C. (Part 1) is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their second release, Oh My Gawd. I will say right now that this track is not a traditional song by any means and I find it to be quite a disappointing song on the …

After all of the fuss over Arnel Pineda’s You Tube performance that won him the honor of becoming Journey’s new lead singer, I bought the album to see if he could carry the title.
I have mixed feelings about the recordings. I’m forever a loyal Steve Perry fan, so there …

The very first time I was exposed to the sounds of this Cape Town based band, I thought I was listening to the music of an international act, so good was the song —˜I’d like’, and when I later learned that it was a local group, my curiosity levels …

Off of the second Led Zeppelin album, Led Zeppelin 2. The song Moby Dick is a four and a half minute jam by the band but mostly a solo spot for drummer John Bonham. The song has a pretty short musical intro, but that riff that John Paul Jones …

Bon Jovi, who did not know them? Although I just know about their music and songs in the 2000’s. For first time I listen to their songs so, I love them.

Unlike his first CD, Living It Up, Brad Maule: Chameleon CD doesn’t have quite the country feel to it that I so enjoyed. It’s a bit edgier and a bit more … well, I’m going to say average. I feel that he’s a better singer than what …

Metallica Finally a wise decision to release the album, which may be therapeutic disappointment after the album St. Anger in 2003. Albums that can be included in the category of very bad and makes fans ask about what happened with that metal music icon. Although this album can not …

This is a heavy metal genre, and my brother have a lot of CDs like this, or other CD albums from the popular band, Metallica.
This CD Album could be bought for about $15, and the songs inside are somewhat metal to me, and there’s not really a special track …

Atomic Kitten has all grown up and has taken the pop scene o a more mature and, let’s just say, “un-girl band” level. A far cry from their first album, the girls re-introduce themselves as women, having truly grown musically, stylistically and visually. i’m impressed at how well they …

Lady Gaga’s breakthrough album The Fame has been a massive success worldwide: the album as a whole when released was, and still is huge in every country around the world, cementing her status as a worldwide icon. The singles Just Dance and Poker Face were the first to be …

Wolfmother’s Self titled debut was released in late 2005 to mixed reviews, many critic’s attacked this album for it’s heavily borrowed riffs and song structure from many 70’s stlye metal bands, I have no problem with their borrowing bits and pieces, every good artists borrows. It took some …

Years ago, someone introduced me to the wonderful works of Erich Kunzel, director of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. He’s really quite good. Then the opportunity came along to enjoy Kunzel’s work along with a huge favorite of mine, Star Trek. With a spoken and dramatic introduction …

Crank that soulja boy by soulja boy is a song you can get up and dance to. I really like the dance moves to the song and how the song mentions superman. The music video is really funny and this guy has taste in my opinion. I also like …

This is actually a very sad song, but it’s real and it speaks something that no one wants to speak about, something that people try to pretend doesn’t exist. But cruelty does exist in this world and it happens all the time. This song is about a girl who …

The Akai MPC 2000xl sampler is one of the best pieces of equipment available on the music production scene. This piece of equipment is used by most of the top producers especially in the rap/hip-hop genre.
I have used this machine now for a couple of years and it has …

The song “Do I”, by Luke Bryan, for some reason is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I literally keep listening to it over and over again. It is definitely the best song that Luke Bryan has ever sung. The first time I heard this song …

The Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill soundtrack CD is one of my favorites. This Disney movie starred Patrick Swayze as the legendary Pecos Bill, and it’s full of magic and adventure. The music expresses the wonder of heroes and the growing up of a …

If I could change something from As I Am by Alicia Keys, it would be the image of her CD album. It is quite oldish looking, but I suppose she wants it that way. Not that bad anyway, but I would prefer the glam Alicia Keys on the …

“I Wish” is the first single and music video from his fourth solo album titled “TP-2.COM”. “I Wish” is a heavy string ballad about his deceased mother and other loved ones as well. This is another one of those celebrity-whining joints, complete with a children’s choir. …

The song sneaky snake is sung by Tom T. Hall. This song is sort of a joke because it is so funny. When I hear this song I think of the line about the snake drinking all the root beer. Somehow though that just seems impossible and silly. Snakes …

Daddy’s Girl by Red Sovine was a song that my dad used to play all the time when I was a little girl to me and my younger sister. I particularly remember the part about him wanting a boy and getting a girl. Now that I am older and …

Overview —“ Sweet Children, Green Day’s third EP, is surprisingly what I would consider their worst release yet. I figured that since it was released later than either of their first EPs, 1,000 Hours or Slappy, the songwriting would’ve improved and everything like that but this wasn’t the case …

“Fools” is the 8th track off of Wu-Tang member RZA sophomore album “Digital Bullet released in 2001. The song features Wu-Tang affiliates Killa Sin and and Solomon Childs.

“P.E. 2000 (Rock Remix)”
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
To ensure any possible success with the original “P.E. 2000″, I guess Puff Daddy decided to do two remixes of the song, including this rock remix right here, but even this is not enough to salvage …

Overview - Abbey Road, The Beatles’ penultimate effort, is a very nice collection and mix of tracks which compliment each other very nicely - particularly on the second half of the record where transitions from song to song just flow very well. Abbey Road has some of The Beatles’ …

Part 9 in the “Trapped In The Closet” series picks up right after Part 8. Officer James begins to hear a noise in the kitchen and starts searching around - behind the fridge, under the table - nothing, but he does …

The Struggle Within, the final track of The Black Album, is a song which unfortunately sends the album off on pretty much just an average note. I’ve praised Hetfield’s vocal work and performance throughout this entire album but unfortunately I can’t really say that about this track. I think …

Funny is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record. Going along with Serious, the opening track of the album, Funny is sort of the opposite of Serious because it is far more melodic and more moderately paced than Serious which was extremely aggressive …

Overview —“ Showbiz, the debut album by Muse is my first time really listening to the band. I’ve heard various tracks from scattered albums but I’ve never really sat down and actually listened to a Muse record —“ after listening to this one, I’m glad I did. I enjoyed …

I am as gullible to any “Earth Shattering” sound explosion of Orchestral music as a doomsayer is to the End Of The World. I am already a huge fan of some of the best film score writers such as Danny Elfman …

Well, I have been a fan of these guys for a while and when I heard that they were releasing another CD, I kind of had my doubts. I felt that these guys had reached their peaks at just having cellos and distortion effects in their music. But I …

“Nobody’s Fool”
Performer: Cinderella
“Nobody’s Fool” performed by the rock group Cinderella is a song I used to hear on those late infomercials for this particular set of cds (I can’t remember for, something about rock ballads) and I would hear various 80s rock groups and Cinderella was one of the …

Blue Jay Way, one of the more psychedelic or at least calming tracks by The Beatles, is one of the tracks to appear on what I would consider to be easily their most Also, to be honest, this track really strikes me as a work which I would associate …

I am and will always be a huge fan of alternative music, and one of my favorite alternative bands ever is Bastille. And no, I don’t think they’re french or their band name is related to the famous french holiday, but I do believe they’re name is quite interesting, …

Alive Or Just Breathing is the band’s second album, first on Roadrunner Records, and last to feature vocalist Jesse Leach. The album was released in 2002 again produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz, the album features several reworked tracks from the bands last album, Temple From Within, and Vida Infra, …

This is a great record. Interpol is a very talented band, and I personally believe that this is their best record. The debut album sounded rather messy, whereas the albums that were released after this one have rather lazy song-writing. Whereas the 2004 Antics is a fantastic record with …

Utada Hikaru’s Apple and Cinnamon song is the right amount of song that makes you go through your daily life situations. You can listen to this when you are sad. You can listen to this when you are happy. You can also listen to this …

I have always been a pretty big fan of Christina Aguilera’s music. Since the days of early hits like “Come on Over” and “Genie in a Bottle,” I have remained a faithful fan. Even when the music industry was divided between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears back in the …

If you want to talk about a diverse singer, Kid Rock would be the one. He changes sides so often that you almost can’t keep up with him. He goes from songs like “American Badass” to “Picture” without batting an eyelash. Honestly, I don’t even know what genre that …

The View is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the second track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with an incredibly simple and pretty boring riff, Reed comes in with the vocal melody of the track which honestly just sounds like a mess to me. …

You heard it when people say, “Pay attention to the lyrics, that’s where you know it’s true.” Well I think they are right and wrong at the same time. For the conventional thinking of everyone, a song is considered good because of its lyrics, but I think there are …

Junior Dad is a song by Lou Reed and Metallica and is the final track on their collaboration album Lulu. Opening up with a very melodic intro, Reed places some vocals over this section which creates a fairly calm and peaceful sound. As I have said several times before, …
