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 …

This album is really great. I was actually very surprised to find out that this album was not an actual album of new material but it was a compilation album that consisted of the songs Kid Rock had written for his early albums in the 1990s, when he was …

I love old songs. Ballads are more good to listen at night when you are about to sleep. I accidentally heard this song when I switched the frequency of our radio. I was glad that I heard the whole song. I fell in love with this song and the …

This is an excellent place to watch music videos of songs by many talent artists. I like this website because I usually don’t watch MV from the tv, so I still get to stay on track with what’s “hot” that way. The music are all separated into musical genres …

Hot Fuss by The Killers has been a regular feature on my stereo for over two years now and it still sounds as fresh and innovative as the first time I heard it. Starting with the track ‘Jenny was a Friend of Mine’ the album delivers something that most …

I have been a huge Def Leppard fan for forever. So when “Songs From the Sparkle Lounge” came out I knew it would be in my collection soon. It is a fantastic album. Any Def Leppard fan is sure to love it. I aquirred it …

I have been a fan of the Cure since I was 13 years old. I heard their albums 17 Seconds and Pornography and I fell in love with those albums. I really thought that they were amazing records. And at the time when I was listening to them when …

Common’s Finding Forever marks the second album that will be released under Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, and will be largely produced by Mr. West himself. J Dilla, DJ Premier, and Bilal also make appearances on the CD’s production and guest singing. There are no other rappers with Common on …

Feeling Good is a track which appears on Muse’s record Origin of Symmetry. I’m aware that this song is a cover so I can’t really comment about the structure or the songwriting of the track, but I can certainly commend on how Muse apply their own style to it. …

“I’ll Be There” is a single and music video (featuring Trey Lorenz) off of Marey Carey’s MTV Unplugged album. “I’ll Be There” is a reenactment of the Jackson Five song of the same name but with Trey …

I like the song “tonight” by FM Static so much because I can feel it on my own life. It tells a story about longing for a lost love–for love stolen by tragedy. It is sad and made me feel how much it would hurt to lose someone so …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce
Label: Columbia
Director: Adria Petty
Beyonce ditches the black and white cinematography formula for color once again ( as she did for “Halo”). I’m not sure if a dream with Beyonce would be a nightmare or a sweet dream, it depends - If it …

Overview —“ American Idiot, Green Day’s seventh effort, is what I would consider their greatest work in their career. The songwriting on this album is amazing, especially compared to their previous work, Warning. Whereas Warning seemed to lack energy in most of the songs and was also just a …

The Wicker Man is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Brave New World. The track starts off with a pretty aggressive guitar riff which is extremely driving and is reinforced by a pounding background rhythm from another guitar, bass, and drums. Dickinson soon comes in …

Here Comes The Indian is the fourth studio record released by Animal Collective. Overall, the impression I get from Here Comes The Indian is that it sounds almost if they’re trying to recreate the melodic and relaxing atmosphere they established on Campfire Songs, but this time do it with …

Always on My Mind is one of Willie Nelson’s best songs. It is a ballad about what he should have or did not do. Willie Nelson sings this song with a somber tone as is he is sad. That perhaps his wife or friend maybe has passed …

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 …

ALIVE II
Haven’t we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than ‘live’ like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can’t …

Baby is the third single of Justin Bieber from the album My World 2. It became number one in France, Canada, United Kingdom, Norway and Japan. This song is right on time produce as Justin is now in the midst of his popularity and another memorable song like this …

It’s FOPP not FLOP. The third studio released album from Soundgarden, Screaming Life/FOPP, was the album that started the buzz-mill. Though not as good as previous albums in my opinion, this third installment in the Garden’s legacy is still a winner.
The straight-forward, no nonsense approach the band takes in …

Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

This is the collaboration of the producers/mc’s Madlib and MF Doom. They call themselves Madvillain and claim to be the illest villains. And I couldn’t agree more. The record contains 22 tracks, ordered as followed:

3. Meat Grinder
4. Bistro
5. Raid
6. America’s Most Blunted

Miley Cyrus is just one of many Disney stars that everybody predicted would fade into the background. However, she has somehow managed to captivate a huge market of pre-teenagers who love her catchy pop songs as well as her character on the Hannah Montana show. I have to admit …

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009. Comprised of eleven songs, Merriweather Post Pavilion is posed with the tough task of following Strawberry Jam, Feels, and Sung Tongs which are the three strongest Animal Collective records in my opinion. Overall, I would say that …

The Man In Me is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record New Morning. This song is actually pretty well known not so much because the album was good, as it wasn’t, but because it’s the opening song for the film The Big Lebowski. As a …

Marooned is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album The Division Bell. The first thing I should mention about this song is that it is an instrumental where David Gilmour pretty much leads the tracks, so if you’re not one for guitar solos then this probably …

Television’s Greatest Hits - Volume 5: The 60’s and 70’s is a collection of 65 TV themes on CD. Talk about fun. This CD transports the listening back in time to visit with old friends in all genres of television. A minute ago I listened to …

This is a greatest hits collection of songs from Type O Negative. The album was hastily thrown together and released with a generic album cover, and without the consent of the band, Roadrunner Records had the right to do it, so they did. This collection could be the reason …

Backing by musicians such as Slash, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Greg Bissonette, Simon Phillips, Sammy Davis Jr. and Lenny Castro, there is no reason for you to feel scared listening to the roar of guitars played by Steve Lukather and his friends.This album is dominated by …

Warbringer U.S. debut a year ago the album “War Without End.” I remember how I got him to describe, not knowing quite what to expect. The wave of retro-thrash bands that inspired the old masters are trying to boards of their power in the now very popular genre might …

Uprising, a very recent single released by Muse for their latest record The Resistance, has an extremely catchy vocal melody along with excellent lyrics and musical parts to go with it. Uprising starts out with a very space-like vibe and sound due to the synthesizer and the bass riff …

Director: Paul Hunter
Aaliyah followed up her successful Sophomore effort, “One In A Million”, with the third self-titled album, “Aaliyah”, and the first single and video being “We Need A Resolution” where she reunited with video hit-maker Paul Hunter - this is quite possibly the least memorable …

Recently I got myself a 5-string bass guitar and it`s a brand called Ashton which is the first time that I`ve heard of it and it`s also the first time that I`m going to use an unpopular brand of bass guitar.
This instrument is a product of Ashton Music, an …

Note-since Buffet does partially hand make and assemble its clarinets, there may be slight differences between each individual clarinet
The Buffet E11 clarinet is an excellent intermediate clarinet. It is a normal Bb 440 hz clarinet without a left side Eb key. It is extremely well blown in the higher …

The song ‘My home’s in Alabama’ is by the group Alabama. It is a good song that makes you think of home where ever that may be. For me it reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was a kid and the fact that we …

Psycho is a track by System Of A Down which appears on their second record, Toxicity. The track does a good job of establishing a very dark atmosphere in the beginning of the song due to a hypnotizing simple bass rhythm which is soon accompanied by a characteristic guitar …

I must have listened to Lauren Wood’s Fallen single a million times since the movie Pretty Woman introduced me to it, and in my opinion it is peerless. Wood is an American singer-songwriter who began her career in the late —˜70s, formed a band, and shot to fame …

Peacebone is a song by Animal Collective and the opening track on their record Strawberry Jam. Opening up with synthesized noise, Peacebone doesn’t start out with the best sound, but the vocals and a more definitive thankfully enter the mix fairly quickly which helps the song to establish a …

Oxford Comma is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their debut self-titled record. The song opens up with a very simple yet definitive rhythm before the vocals come in for the first verse. One thing about Oxford Comma is I find it incredibly hard to not enjoy …

Wrathchild is a track by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Killers. Keep in mind that Killers was still an album where Iron Maiden had Paul Di’anno rather than Bruce Dickinson so the vocals on this track lean far more towards a punk sound rather than an operatic …

Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …

World Long Gone is a song by Scars On Broadway, and I believe the second single released for this record, which appears on their self-titled debut album. One thing I’ll say about World Long Gone right now is that the main riff of the song is probably the best …

Crazy Miranda is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on the album Bark. The track starts out in a very melancholy fashion with a piano primarily leading the track with Grace Slick joining in with the vocals. I’m not exactly sure, but to be completely honest, I think …

I am a great fan of this band, and have been for a long time. While several of the songs can occasionally be heard playing in shops, most of the songs aren’t as well known, but can be bought on CDs or on the internet. This particular CD (called …
