Follow the Leader, 1998 Album by Korn

Dreamend-Sun in Aries
Dreamend is a band I discovered quite recently. I had listened to them some before but never really got impressed. Once I listened to Sun in Aries I was completely astonished with what I heard. You can say it’s divided into two separate parts. The first one combines tender …
Lasers Album- Lupe Fiasco
Lupe Fiasco is one of the opponents of hip hops status quo, and I respect him for it. It seems he just likes to oppose the way of doing things. In my opinion he is one of the more intellectual rappers in this generation. He refuses to sing about …

Green Day - Extraordinary Girl (Song)

The Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor (Song)

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce

In 1993, almost exactly a year after releasing their intense, grinding masterpiece debut, “In The Name Of Suffering”, the benchmark album of all Sludge, Eyehategod released their second record, “Take As Needed For Pain”.

Angel Haze Dirty Gold Album
Angel Haze is a relatively unknown rapper, although she has been garnering features on several well-known mainstream songs, such as Nick Jonas’ Numb and Mary Lambert’s Ribcage.

Mark Mulcahy - Hey Self Defeater (song)
“Hey Self Defeater” is the opening track on Mark Mulcahy’s debut and overlooked album “Fathering”. At first listen you may notice that “Hey Self Defeater” is a minimalistic and bare bone approach to a song. The whole basis of the song focuses on 2 instruments, a clean electric guitar …

City of Joy soundtrack CD

The Cranberries - To The Faithful Departed (1996)
I was talking with a friend of mine about Cranberries albums, and he asked me, which one is the odd one? The one that doesn’t fit. Well, it certainly is “To The Faithful Departed”. While “No Need ” was a natural evolution from “Everybody “, this album is the unnatural …
