Queen - Another One Bites The Dust - Single
I really like the subtle way in which the drums start this track. Simple but effective and the build up tells you what song this is, Queen, Another One Bites The Dust.
Freddie comes in, quite simple at first and yet with the drums he just seems in complete control …

“Deth Red Sabaoth” by Danzig (LP, 2010)
It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …

Wish, 1992 Album by The Cure
I personally do not like this album. Some of the songs on this album were commercially successful, even though I think that this album is quite boring and dull.
This album is rather long. The previous Cure album, Disintegration, was very good. Disintegration is also a very long album, but …
The Grateful Dead - Workingman’s Dead
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 …
