Nothing Like This is the newest CD in Rascal Flatts’ already huge discography. It has already sold thousands of copies. I was the last of my fellow Flatts fans to get it.
The wait was well worth it. The lead track, “Why Wait” sums up what I would say …

Heresy, one of the darkest sounding Nine Inch Nails tracks throughout their entire discography, is a track which appears on what is considered the band’s best work, The Downward Spiral. I just finished reviewing the track Only which I reviewed as being pretty eerie but not so much of …

Ke$ha has recently burst onto the scene with her controversial lyrics and interesting look. In my opinion, she is not a very talented singer and she will not last very long in the music industry at all. To start with, she just looks trashy. It is not an attractive …

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 …

Come Together would have to be one of the most calming and relaxing Beatles songs which I’ve ever listened to. Driven by Lennon’s vocal delivery which just mixes right in perfectly with the music under him, Come Together is the opening track of Abbey Road and one of the …

Overview —“ Mama Said, a third music video released for Metallica’s album Load, is the music video for a song which honestly doesn’t strike me, and I’m sure most people, as a Metallica song. I mean even just thinking about the title and the artist, having the word Metallica …

I’m not totally a fan of girl groups but something about this song caught my attention. I was originally browsing in Instagram when one of my friends posted a song that what I thought to be original. It had a caption “Secret Love Song” and I listened to it, …

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 …

When I was much younger in the nineteen nineties, one of my favourite music artistes was the musician Alanis Morissette. At the time I had no idea what her name was even though I would see her music videos play every Saturday especially. I remember even seeing her perform …

Almost all the songs in We Sing, We Dance. We Steal Things by Jason Mraz are amongst my listening taste buds. Jason Mraz is a synonym name to talent in my world of music dictionary. And of course the ever so popular track I’m Yours is included inside. …

Out On The Tiles is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears as a bonus track for their record United Abominations. The cover is a song initially done by Led Zeppelin so it’ll be interesting to see how Megadeth interpret the song. The track starts off with that familiar …

I have always liked classical music such as cellos and violins but I had never heard anything like this. Cellos and Metallica?? Who would of guessed. But these guys, Apocalyptica, they pulled it off. On this CD these four guys with their cellos cover songs by Metallica. I …

If you’re looking for an alternative to Britney Spears, one that isn’t so obnoxious and well known, you might really like Amber. I don’t think she’s as widely known, but that doesn’t mean anything because I only found her last year on itunes. She has a sweet voice and …

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 …

Saturday’s Warrior is probably my favorite play ever because of the joy it invokes within the soul. That said, it was a play I went to a tad reluctantly at first, and then when I did go, I was wowed by it. I couldn’t wait to get …

This album occupies a very special part in my heart. I do not know exactly why, but I remember the day, the night, when I bought this album so vividly, with such clarity and detail. It was a winter night. It was snowing. It was rather late and dark. …

Sara Bareilles’ album, Kaleidoscope Heart, was recently released. The album is consistent with her previous works, but it seems to have reached an all-time high.

Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

I recently recieved one of these guitars for my birthday. Now keep in mind that I have absolutely no musical talent, and I’ve heard that these guitars are perfect for begginers. I am pretty happy with it, I must admit.
The guitar has a bit of a hollow sound but …

The very first song I heard from Corinne Bailey Rae was —˜Trouble Sleeping’ and I immediately fell in love with it. All the better that it was dominating all types of radio stations, not just soul and pop, but even those that are known more for their up beat …

Elvin’s Tales are a rising star in the world of European folk music. They have been around for just a year and half, but their music has already drawn the attention of the public.

Music is always in the background wherever I’m at. I find it vital to a relaxed, yet fun atmosphere. That said, I like all kinds of music also. About the only stuff you’re not gonna hear around me is heavy rap, heavy metal, or heavy elevator …

Paramore is a relatively new emo band that has released multiple albums and received recognition for a few of their hit songs like “Crushcrushcrush” and “That’s What You Get”. A lot of their music is played in a retail store called Hollister and that is where a lot of …

Jesse McCartney has been my favorite young singer/artist ever since he released his first single Beautiful Soul. In fact, Beautiful Soul is my favorite and every time I am hearing it playing on the radio, I sing along. Jesse McCartney’s songs that become popular have a meaning. The story …

Overview - The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barret’s first solo record after departing Pink Floyd, is an album that sounds absolutely nothing like the work Barrett did with Pink Floyd, it’s surprising that it’s even the same man to be honest. Not only is Barrett’s songwriting a lot simpler and …

I had the utmost pleasure of being able to see Black Label Society LIVE in concert supporting Ozzy Osbourne on July 6th 2007 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham England. They were simply amazing combining powerful heavy metal riffs with amazing and unique vocalization for every song, each …

Utada Hikaru’s Apple and Cinnamon song is the right amount of song that makes you go through your daily life situations. You can listen to this when you are sad. You can listen to this when you are happy. You can also listen to this …

I had the chance to purchase Dr. Dre 2001, also known as the Chronic 2001 and I thought that it was another classic hip hop album. Granted, it may not have been as good as the Chronic but still the beats were excellent as well as the productions …

Overview - Barrett, the second solo record of Syd Barrett, is more stripped down songwriting - basically the exact opposite of his work in Pink Floyd. While in Pink Floyd Barrett worked a lot with very frantic and chaotic psychedelic music, but this album really isn’t like that at …

I spent the whole day listening to 103.5 Qm FM on Friday, January 1, 2010. I had listened to this station before many times, but this date was very special. The DJs were just busy dishing out their top 50 countdowns, which I found quite irresistible at …

In The Singing Box is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their second release, Danse Manatee. The best way I can characterize In The Singing Box is that it seems to be a track which has a fairly constant flow of music interacting with …

Feels is a record by Animal Collective which was their follow up to Sung Tongs. I’ll be honest and admit that I think Sung Tongs is an incredibly hard record to follow, but I can thankfully say that I think Animal Collective lived up to the challenge with Feels. …

My favorite Taylor Swift song is Whitehorse. It says a lot that women need to pay more attention to. In the video, her guys cheats on her and then decides he wants her back. She has a hard time with it but ultimately says she has to move on. …

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 …

I usually don’t like listening to the new reggae songs because many of them tend to have lyrics and sound which just don’t appeal to me. Nevertheless, I am still into the older reggae music and artistes, especially some who had internationally popular songs in the nineteen eighties. One …

One of my favorite songs and one I suggested with my friend who was suffering from a break up with her boyfriend. Over it is a song about moving on with confidence. She is trying her man to believe that she can stand up after a fall. This song …

I received a “Lost Highway” cd by Bon Jovi for an early birthday present. I am a Bon Jovi fan from way back around when they first came out, I was in my teens.
I am aware this CD has been out since 2007, yet I have not got …

LOtUSFLOW3R
Every year, new Prince album, some would say. What makes Prince’s new 3 CD material special is the fact that he returned to what he knows the best - playing electric guitar. First CD LOtUSFLOW3R is full of great guitar playing which is not the case in his recent …
