Music Reviews
Metal of Honor Stovokor
Stovokor has some interesting sounds and I could relate to this death metal music but at one point, I did get “disgusted” and felt that the music were all kind of ill-tempered and definitely harsh and filthy. But I would like to take the benefit of the doubt …
Megadeth - Insomnia (Song)
Insomnia is a song by Megadeth which is the first song for their record Risk. The track opens up with a very brief guitar riff before Mustaine comes in nearly immediately with the vocals as he sings above this guitar riff as well as a bass line and the …
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
I used to sing with the band. Well, I can say that I really enjoyed every moment that I am in front of so many people and it gives me so much confidence whenever people gave me a warm applause.
I sing a variety of songs, from 50’s …
Animal Collective - Daffy Duck (Song)
Daffy Duck is a song by Animal Collective and is the seventh song on their album Feels. I will mention right now that Daffy Duck is the second longest track on the record, clocking in at just over seven and a half minutes. Though Animal Collective typically had problems …
Toto (band)
When I was younger, even though they released most of their hits songs in the nineteen eighties, one of my favourite bands was “Toto”. How I became familiar with them was not through my parents , but I’d hear their songs play from time to time on the radio, …
Panopticon black-metal band - Roads to the North album
Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. In the album Roads to the North, Panopticon not only brings in your typical instruments (guitars, drums and vocals) that you find in a rock/metal …
Take That - Greatest Day - Single
I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …
Nothing Is Sound by Switchfoot
Switchfoot is a fairly new indie band that is emerging quite well in my area. I do not know if the rest of the country, or the world, for that matter, are aware of Switchfoot, but I really like this band and see them as a great up and …
The band Cannibal Corpse
The metal band Cannibal Corpse is a group of sick musicians and I mean sick in a real good way. I don’t think these guys are talented when it comes to making music but these guys have voices like you wouldn’t believe when it comes to belting out brutal …
One Last Dance CD
The CD to the movie One Last Dance is incredibly dynamic and awesome. It truly takes the listener on a journey that is powerful and emotional. This is the story of three dancers, once torn apart and now brought back together in a time of sorrow, but they …
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Greatest Hits
Usually i wouldnt bother reviewing a greatest hits cd but this one particulaly tickled my fancy.
Lets face the Chili Peppers have had one hell of a career and an absolute bag full of hits. I Myself am a HUGE Peppers fan but i am going to be 100% honest …
Album : Heonia - winsome Scar (2011)
What is it with female vocalists thinking that they have to sing every word in the highest possible register? This fact has annoyed me for a long time now and really causes me a lot of frustration when i find symphonic and melodic metal bands that would otherwise be …
Green Day - Whatsername (Song)
After following the musical epic of Homecoming, I genuinely believe that Whatsername is the best way that Green Day could’ve ended this record, or story I should really say. Whereas Homecoming was really just ten minutes of excellent writing, I really have no other way to put it, Whatsername …
Love, Save the Empty Album by Erin McCarley
Erin McCarley is probably most well known for a song that was featured on all of the promotional material for the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”. That song was called “Love, Save the Empty” and it is also the title for the album she recently released. That …
Yamaha Stage Custon drums
I purchased a Yamaha Stage Custom drum set several years ago when I began touring nationally in my band. I Purchased the 5 piece set. I have taken this drum kit all over the country and it has stood up to all of the traveling. It stays in tune …
Led Zeppelin - Royal Orleans (Song)
Royal Orleans is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their record Presence. The song starts off with a distinctive riff from Page, reinforced by Jones, which repeats twice before leading into the main rhythm of the track and the first verse for Plant. Plant has a nice …
The Cranberries - Promises (Song)
The Cranberries was one of the most famous rock bands of the 90’s. On 1999 they released “Promises” as a single of their “Bury the Hatchet” album. That song was a major hit and is my favorite Cranberries song and one of the best songs from the 90’s.
The song …
4-2-10 Awake Tonight tour (TobyMac, Skillet, House of Heroes)
The first band, House of Heroes, played a very short set (only 4 songs) and didn’t seem to catch the crowd’s attention very well. They had an energetic show, just not a lot of stage presence. I had done my homework and learned the words to some of the …
The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)
‘Abbey Road’ was the final great Beatles album, and was actually an album quite light in tone, and one which gave little indication of the forthcoming break-up of the world’s greatest-ever rock and pop group - especially with an opening rocker entitled ‘Come Together’. John Lennon, well into the …
The Flaming Lips - What A Wonderful World (Song)
(What A) Wonderful World is a song by The Flaming Lips and the tenth song on their fourth release, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Opening up with a melodic guitar pattern, Coyne comes in with the iconic vocal melody for this cover in a slightly broken manner which works …
The Beatles - Good Night (Song)
Good Night is a song by The Beatles which is the final track on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Good Night opens up with this very majestic sounding string section which has this very corny sound to it to be honest but I know this is what …
Radiohead’s Creep Video
An incredibly moving and well laid symbolic interpretation of the song ‘Creep’ by Radiohead. I was blown away by the quality of the flash movie, but more than this (and you will have to wait until the end to see what I mean if you haven’t seen it before), …
Beyond the Sea - Finding Nemo
I reviewed about Amanda Peet on Ellen earlier on, and it made me remember the show Finding Nemo, since her daughter loves Dory the character in the movie so much.
Speaking of Finding Nemo, there is this one song that came to my mind all of a sudden and …
Scars On Broadway - Babylon (Song)
Babylon is a song written by Scars On Broadway which appears on the track listing of their debut self-titled record. I will be very simple right now and say that I think this is the most developed track on the entire album and certainly has the best songwriting on …
Can’t hold us down by Christina Aguilera
I really like this song. It’s absolutely the real thing that’s happening nowadays. I love how Christina sang this song which really gives justice to women. Even before women are being underestimated. They said that because we are women we cannot do this, we cannot do that. Other people …
Oh, Hello - Circa Survive
It is a rare occasion to find a band that does not rely heavily on the use of heavy guitar riffs and power chords to get their music to sound energetic and progressive. Circa Survive is just one of these bands, and “Oh, Hello” is a perfect example of …
The Osmonds: 21 Hits CD
The Osmonds: 21 Hits CD was released in 1995 by Curb Records and is a celebration of five singing Osmond brothers. The liner notes are nothing special and is less than what Donny Osmond got for his 25 Hits CD put out the same year. Somehow, that …

Breakout by Miley Cyrus
AWESOME!!!! My girlfriend bought this cd for me because she liked it and I was a little hesitant, but I decided to give it a try. Now I am addicted! She starts out with a pretty generic fun pop song breakout that isn’t your favorite on the cd, but …
+44 When Your Heart Stops Beating
When Blink 182 had their fallout and Tom Delonge went his way, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus went their way, and formed this band with a friend. When Your Heart Stops Beating is an impressive album, after the failure of Blink 182’s last album I thought they had …
Beer Is Good For You by David Allan Coe
Beer Is Good For You by David Allan Coe is the type of song I would have expected someone to write that was writing a jingle for a Budweiser commercial. I had never heard it before so when I came across it I had to just check it out. …
CD Evan and Jaron
The CD Evan and Jaron (this is the name of the group and the name of the album) was my first rock CD, although it is really just pop with a rock feel. Like pop, the music seems over-synthesized, with too many extra or computer-generated instruments. It …
Estranged Music Video by Guns N Roses
The song Estranged by Guns n Roses off Use Your illusion 2, is an epic song that features many instrumental parts and a few epic solos by slash which were all recorded with his les paul gold top on the treble pickup. Dizzy Reed also plays an essential role …
Flyleaf
I love Flyleaf, they’re an unique rock band. Their song always rock my world. This song so I tought is one of pretty slow rock song, but with touch of Lacey’s voice this song feels different.
I got this single from download in the internet. First, I don’t know this …

Taio Cruz: Rokstarr
My name is Sophia Chartrand and I’m reviewing for Taio Cruz’s album, Rokstarr. What I’m going to do is, talk about every song on the album and my opinion about it.
1) Dynamite (5/5) - This song is really groovy. Dynamite is the best song for a club or …
The Gorillaz - Every Planet We Reach Is Dead (Song)
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their album Demon Days. The track opens up with a rhythm that I think could best described as fairly lazy. I also do not mean to use this term in a negative connotation here, …
Grateful Dead Top 10 Songs
While skimming through this website I came across a couple of reviews of the Top 10 Best Grateful Dead Songs of all time. Even though there is truly no right top 10 list, I was inspired to right this after seeing someone post the track list from Skeletons …
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady - Single
A class track from Eminem, as much for it’s simplicity again but it’s cool. When he refers to the shock of someone seeing a white person I think it sums up the feeling of surprise that people had when this great rapper turned up on the world scene and …
Coldplay X & Y Album
This album, in my opinion, is pure genius. It’s reveals a more romantic side of Chris Martin (the lead singer) who is an immensely talented musician. Yet with a little more rocker edge to it. I wish that everybody would listen to it.. I never knew how deeply music …
Iron Maiden - When Two Worlds Collide (Song)
When Two Worlds Collide is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Virtual XI. The song opens up with a somewhat ominous sounding part which is driven by this interesting clean guitar part before Bayley comes in with the vocals of the track. I’ll be honest …

Acacia strain the band
The acacia strain band is a metal band whose music is actually quite decent but they can improve on a few things. I like the acacia strain because they can really belt out some deep growls and their voices sound scary when they are belting out metal. I can’t …
Lifehouse: Who We Are album
This is probably the best album I have heard in a long time. It is pretty rare that I buy full albums anymore, since getting single songs is so much less expensive and makes my itunes playlist a whole lot less messy. But I had to get the …
In This Skin
After achieving success with Sweet Kisses, Jessica Simpson, appeared with Sweetest Sin on the album titled, In This Skin. More exciting and more excited. Great formula of imitating other singers such as Kylie Minogue, she hummed songs expertly. As a happy wife of Nick Lachey, in this album, Jessica …

The sleak flloyd rose guitar from Aria is an amazing guitar and suits a range of people, from beginners to advanced. It’s crafted fretboard is easy for a range of techniques from bending to tapping. It’s weight isn’t that bad, ideal for carrying round a stage etc. The paintwork …
Bark at the Moon, 1983 Album by Ozzy Osbourne
My opinion of this album changed dramatically in the course of years. I was a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne when I was in my early teenage years. I knew all his albums very well, and was quite fond of many of his songs. And this album, the 1983 …
