I wasn’t looking at my computer when I put on the Billy Ray Cyrus: Southern Rain CD so I practically jumped when I heard Billy Ray thanking me listening. I didn’t realize the CD had a CD-Rom element to it that begins with him doing a video greeting …

I don’t know how I can exactly describe it but when I listen to Sarah Brightman’s song, it seems you are immersed in very cold water. As if the water has ice all over. Her voice is …

I first heard Never Let Go on the local radio airwaves here and I was instantly hooked to it. It has a nice conscious reggae beat to it and of course you just can’t match or beat the voices of these reggae artists. At least it seems so when …

OK Go has been my favorite band for about a year. I discovered the band through a friend, and since then their music has become something I can’t live without.
The member of OK Go are Damian Kulash (lead vocals and guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar and vocals), Dan …

Although the opening …

Maroon 5 is the great alternative rock band that I always love. Their song is always make my emotion speak and feel like I’m involved in their song like this one —˜Must Get Out’. This song is from the album —˜Songs About Jane’, and again, this song is also …

Overview —“ Waiting, the third music video released by Green Day in promotion of their album Warning would have to be what I would consider an unneeded music video. The song Waiting itself is a pretty mediocre song in my opinion and the music video would have to fall …

The way Tre Brown uses his lyrical gifts is a dissapointment.
It is typical gun and drugs hip hop that causes me to shake my head.
His tone is nice. His looks are top shelf, but his focus on the typical gutter view that so many rappers have cashed in on …

This is a very special album by a very special band, at least to me. This was actually the first Sonic Youth album I ever listened to. And the music on this album attracted me. It drew me into an entirely different world. I got really interested in the …

Green Day busted back into the limelight with the highly acclaimed “American Idiot”. Their new album may not be as great a step in the right direction.

I like listening to the music everyday especially rock music. This band, Flylaf is so rock!!. All their song express all the emotion and feels in the rock sounds. I like their song I’m so sick. It become very hits in their first album.
I’m so sick is tell about …

Shontelle is an R&B singer-songwriter from Barbados. This aspiring lawyer-singer is also the one who sang T-shirt, which became my theme song whenever I am taking a bath. Impossible is another hit single coming from her that is far much better than T-shirt because of the story. The story …

Elton John is a famous musician who now is properly called, Sir Elton John, since he was given the title by the Queen of England. Well deserved! Elton John has been around since before I even thought about music, but since I grew up in a family that loved …

If you’re looking for that Les Paul sound with not a lot of money but enough to get something like the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra, it is well worth the money. This guitar plays like a champ with its bright tone from the Classic plus pickups that sound great …

Vein Of Stars is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album At War With The Mystics. The song opens up in a melodic fashion and has an airy and free atmosphere created by the basic instrumentation present. A guitar chord pattern soon comes in which …

From the play Saturday’s Warrior, Paper Dream is my absolute favorite. When I first heard it many years ago, I was floored by it. It went right into the middle of my heart and it’s never left. It has a lot of meaning for me. …

I was listening to the radio today and heard Kelly Clarkson’s version of “To Make You Feel My Love” and fell in love with it. I love the song to begin with but her voice is great for this song. She really seems to feel it when she sings …

When it comes to writing the perfect pop hook in this day and age I really don’t think it gets any better than the outlandish Lady Gaga. Even without the unforgettable video, this song has this perfect ability to straddle bizarre and mainstream so expertly your not sure …

This is System Of A Down’s third album, the name comes from the way the album was leaked onto the internet ahead of it’s release, the album features no artwork at all, coming in nothing but a jewel case, and a back insert, coming on a mock CD-R all …

Mercyful Fate is a medley which Metallica chose to include on their cover record, Garage, Inc. and is obviously a medley of songs from the band Mercyful Fate. For those of you who know and have heard Mercyful Fate you’ll obviously be able to point them out just by …

Well it’s been a few years since the last Offspring album, Expectancy of One, which I honestly beloved, wasn’t all that good . However! They have finally returned! Two years ago in 2008 The Offspring released this album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, and it truly is rebirth. …

Despite the fact that this California based band had their songs featured in the hit film ‘A Walk to Remember’, I like many others, was not aware of this band and their amazing music until this album was released.
In 2004, several songs from ‘The Beautiful Letdown’ began to receive …

Lips Of An Angle by Hinder is a song I like because it talks about how a guy still has feelings for this other girl and it goes into details about how this girl gives the guy a phone call and the guys girl does not know it is …

Taylor Swift, wow words cannot describe her talent. Just when I thought her music couldnt get any better . . . shes done it again. This song has every quality amazing music has plus more. This song is pretty self explanitory. Its about an ex or someone you temporarily …

Sung Tongs is an album released by Animal Collective which follows their release of Here Comes The Indian. As an album, Sung Tongs has been hailed as Animal Collective’s breakthrough record, and I must agree with this statement. Whereas I found Here Comes The Indian to be pretty weak …

I loved the first CD from this band so when I saw this one released, I knew I had to have it. This could probably be one of the best CD’s I own. I only paid $11.99 for it at my local music store. This CD had a really …

“Far Behind” is quite possibly Candlebox’s biggest single. In fact, it is the only song I actually know by them off hand anyways. The song reached the Billboard Top 20 in July of 1993 but wasn’t officially released as a single until 1994. The song appears on their self …

I love this song and first heard it a few years back at Christmas time from a CD comprising of 101 Christmas songs. Little did I know it was sung back in 1960! But the song itself is so cute and I was hooked immediately when I heard it.
The …

I have just bought the new Empire of the Sun album, after having heard their debut single, ‘Walking on a Dream’. Now, having listened to the whole album a few times I am even more hooked on their style and lyrics. I will try to give my impression …

It seemingly happened overnight, but the incredible success of Lady Gaga in the music entertainment world is pretty hard to avoid being at least marginally aware of at this point.

The song is about a young …

Oh my, they have done it again. Destiny’s Child is up to their old contradictory tricks and manipulative messages again with “Soldier”, their second single and music video from their fourth and final album titled …

Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …

Graduation overall sounds very laid back. It’s a bit more relaxed, than what you might be used to but it’s defiantly an album that you are going to want to buy if you love Kanye.
This is a solid and enjoyable collection. There are no skits or fillers that make …

One of the worst songs that van halen made in the pre David Lee Roth era is The Full Bug. This song was featured on the Diver Down as most likely a filler to reach the time needed for the record to be released. Although the album showcases some …

Overview —“ Scars On Broadway, the debut album by the band of the same name, is Daron Malakian’s first release after leaving System Of A Down. After listening to Serj Tankian’s album many people were extremely curious to hear how Malakian would compare, and I was no exception. I …

I recently had the opportunity to listen to the song “Love Lockdown” by the famed rapper Kanye West. If you aren’t already familiar with Mr. West’s material go get yourself a copy of his other albums “The College Dropout” or “The Graduation”. Kanye West is usually known for his …

Once in a while a band/artist comes along and totally shakes the foundations of conventional and un-conventional art. In this case, the band is Tool, and the art form in qustion is music. The album in question is Lateralus, a monolithic epic album that transcends all conventional boundries and …

No Substitute Lover by Estelle is a very colorful and nice to listen to song. This single is sung by Estelle, definitely and she has a husky-like quality and a loving voice. This song is very R&B and very soulful..very catchy tune.
I especially love her image, …

Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …

This is probably one of the most heartbreaking, tear-wrenching songs I have ever heard. It is based on a true story, and one of Tay’s rare songs that doesn’t sing about boys and one-sided love. It tells of a young mother’s groundbreaking sorrow of losing her beloved youngest son …

Overview —“ I Disappear, a track written for the purposes of the Mission Impossible II soundtrack is a song that ended up causing a lot of controversy for Metallica and costing them a lot of fans, and not even for the song itself. For those of you who do …
