Metallica - The Unforgiven III (Song)
The Unforgiven III, the third installment in The Unforgiven series, is quite a good song yet I’d probably still rank it as the lowest, or at least my least favorite, of the three pieces of the trilogy. However, before I get into the bulk of my review, I …
Bob Dylan - Down The Highway (Song)
Down The Highway is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his second record, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. This track opens up with a clear blues inspired guitar pattern and just the fashion Dylan sings the lyrics makes it clear that this song will be heavily blues influenced. …
Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD
Overall, Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD is pretty good. It made great background music for me as I did things around the house. Sometimes I sang along and sometimes it made me stop and listen, while at other times, it was just music filling the air.
The …
Beyonce Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Video
Since Beyonce has embarked on her solo career, she has really raunched up her image and shows a lot more flesh than in the videos from her demure Destiny’s Child days. She is a sexy woman so I guess she is being clever and reckoning that sex sells, …

Lenny Kravitz (musician)
The first time I heard of the rockstar Lenny Kravitz was a couple years ago when I was in in my early years of high school. That was in the early two thousands, and I immediately feel in love with his number one hit at the time, “Again”. At …

Aceyalone A Book of Human Language CD
There is a stereotype going around that Hip Hop is all guns, loose woman, and the deft pursuit of all things money and BLING. Add on top of that the piss poor imagery that most commercial rappers portray via MTV and through the radio, that of money hungry, woman …
Monkey Business by The Black Eyed Peas
I was very critical of the Black Eyed Peas’ newest album simply because I feel like it doesn’t really feature their own voices. It is so heavily edited and overly synthesized that I feel like I am listening to a bunch of robots in a recording studio, not the …
Bob Dylan - ‘Till I Fell In Love With You (Song)
—˜Till I Fell In Love With You is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Time Out Of Mind. The starts off with a pretty laid-back tone as Dylan comes in with the vocals fairly quickly with a vocal melody which seems to work well enough …
King of Anything by Sara Barreilis
One of the songs that catch my attention because of the introduction and the lyrics is King of Anything. Sara Barreilis is talking about how she is irritated with her lover. At first part, she was bored and count cars, which made me, laugh the first time I heard …
The Beatles - For No One (Song)
For No One is a track which appears on The Beatles’ record Revolver and written by bassist Paul McCartney. I will admit that I typically prefer John Lennon greatly over McCartney, mostly because of how I prefer Lennon’s more psychedelic style of writing, but I have to say that …
Album: Sabaton - Attero Dominatus
Sabaton’s first alnum Primo Victoria has stroken me as really good, although not at all original, when I finally saw the seond album in the store, I didn’t even think twice before taking my wallet out.
The Artwork looks really nice, but I’m not the kind of a man that …

Graffiti Bridge album
As a Prince lover, I am one of (3) people that I know who has actually seen the movie “Graffiti Bridge“. Mentioning any details of the movie would be direct blasphemy. However, because I am a Prince lover, I did purchase the soundtrack of the same …
The Magical Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber CD
The magical music of Andrew Lloyd Webber is a 3CD exclusive edition featuring 42 classic tracks from no other than of course Andrew Webber himself. I bought this CD in one of HMV outlet store in London back in 2007 but I couldn’t remember anymore the exact …

Backwater is the number one single that appears on the Meat Puppets album “Too High to Die”. This song single handedly propelled the Meat Puppets into the mainstream audience. “Backwater” ended up reaching #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
The song starts off with a bang. The lead …
Megadeth Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good
Killing is my business…and business is good is the debut album by Megadeth released in 1985 after Mustaine departed from Metallica. The album is heavy, noticeably more so then future releases by the band, the lyrical matter is the darkest by Megadeth as well. As far as I know …
Green Day - Time Of Your Life (Music Video)
Overview —“ Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), is the second music video released for Green Day’s record Nimrod. Time Of Your Life would probably have to be one of the most well known Green Day songs if not the absolute most well known one. I’m sure that even …
It’s Not Enough by The Who
I was delighted when I learned that The Who, one of my favorite all time rock groups, had released a new single, the first since “Who Are You” in 1981. “It’s not enough” has much more passion than “Who Are You.” It is another song …
Mushroomhead XII
This album is the closest thing to musical perfection in rock and metal that I’ve heard in a long time. Personally, I think that this is a musical masterpiece from Mushroomhead. The first track, “Kill Tomorrow”, begins slow and steady with Jeffrey Nothing’s vocal starting as well. Then the …
The Bird and the Bee - Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future
I thought The Bird and the Bee managed to make a great sequel to their first album! Inara’s voice is absolutely beautiful and subtle. There is a great variation of sounds, and yet you can always tell that each is a Bird and Bee creation. Many of the songs …
Price Tag (song) Jessie J Featuring B.O.B
The first time I heard this song I thought it was a new song from Blu Cantrell, then I realized she sounds like Pink. And then I realized that she is a different person when the DJ in the radio called her Jessie J. I do not know Jessie …

“Dirt Off Your Shoulder”
The Black Album
Roc-A-Fella Records
Director: Dave Meyers
“Dirt Off Your Shoulder” is the second single and music video from Jay-Z’s eighth (and purposed final) album, following “Change Clothes”. It looks like a lot of people may have agreed with me regarding his previous music video, because now Jay-Z …
Tool - Aenima
I bought Aenima after i had loved Tool’s next album (Lateralus). I found that Aenima is just as good. When Aenima was released Tool was just a promising name in the hard rock genre, this album enstablished the band not only as a great name worldwide, blessed by sales …
Sledding With Tigers - The Hill Sheep (Album)
The Hill Sheep is the second album released by Sledding With Tigers. Although I will say that some of the tracks on this album felt similar to some of the songs that were present on the band’s debut release, No Randy No, I can thankfully say that this album …
Coat of Many Colors
The song “Coat of Many Colors” was written and sung by Dolly Pardon. The song is so beautiful and is a great representation of a mother’s love for her child, in that she made her a coat from rags because they could not afford to buy one from a …
Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show
I watched Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show before and I must say that I was totally bemused and impressed. I think the lead singer, Nicole sang like a karaoke version of something. She can really stretch her vocal chords and it was so fun …
Song: 1234 sung by Plain White T’s
I happened across the song 1 2 3 4 by Plain White T’s when I was listening to Pandora one day. It was such a catchy tune that I had to add it to my music library. I absolutely love this song. It is such an upbeat song that …
Apocalyptica - Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos
Overview —“ Apocalyptica a Finnish rock band released their debut album which was filled with nothing Metallica covers, but the twist is, all of these covers are played on cellos. I mean the idea of a group releasing an album of Metallica covers doesn’t sound special or unique at …
Country Music Singer Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton is so much more than just a country music singer. She is an actress and all around fun and happy person that deserves all the wonderful things that she has in her life. She is an endearing person who has been known for her rather large bosom …
Its the way you make me feel by steps by Steps
It’s the way you make me feel is one of my favorite songs of the band Steps. I first saw this video in MTV and I really like it from the start. Since then I’ve always been a fan of steps and became even more upon hearing this song. …
The Rolling Stones - Talkin’ ‘Bout You (Song)
Talkin’ —˜Bout You is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Out Of Our Heads. The track starts off with a nice blues-rock sounding riff before going into the main rhythm of the track which certainly continues this blues-rock feel as it’s paced with …
GNR Lies

Fall Out Boy-From Under the Cork Tree CD
You may have heard their pervasive song “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” or seen its inventive “teen with antlers” video. And recently the follow-up single “Dance, Dance” is hitting the airwaves, with another imaginative video evocative of the troubled teen years. I decided to purchase their CD after …
Lonesome Crowded West, 1997 Album by Modest Mouse
I think that this is not a very good full length album for a band like Modest Mouse. I remember how I first started listening to it after I listened to their first full length album, and I did not enjoy this record at all. It was because I …
The Dance by Garth Brooks
The Dance, sung by Garth Brooks, holds different meaning to different people. For me, it is about the death of a child. To others, it is about lost love. It truly can be whatever you want it to be about. This is one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs. …
Hope for Haiti Now
Like millions of other people, I watched the Hope for Haiti Now telethon hosted and organized by George Clooney last Friday, and unlike so many other worthy causes, the music lineup in this show blew me away. Not only was it an international lineup of music superstars singing for …
System of a Down Steal This Album!
Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …
OK Computer, 1997 Album by Radiohead
This album is of course very influential. It became very popular, and many bands tried to copy its sound. But, as far as I am concerned, I do not think that this album is perfect. For me this album consists of several elements, and while some of them are …
Green Day - Are We The Waiting (Song)
Are We The Waiting is a track which follows in a similar mood as Boulevard Of Broken Dreams as it’s a significantly slower track which has slightly a darker tone to it, although to no real extreme. Ironically this is also the first track on American Idiot which didn’t …
The Downward Spiral, 1994 Album by Nine Inch Nails
Anybody who is not familiar with this record does not have any right to consider himself a music fan. It is the central record of the 1990s. This album is the representative of an entire generation of artists. In the 1990s industrial rock music was pretty popular, it went …
Bartender by Rehab
Bartender is a fun song that most people will love. Even if you don’t usually like this kind of music, it is just a completely fun song that will make you laugh at the thought of doing such a thing. I love this song although the language is rather …
Amy Whine house at Glastonberry
Recently late at night i turned on the tv bbc1 to find they where showing some footage of Amy Whinehouse at Glastonberry (for all you guys who arnt from the uk glastonberry is a huge festival where alot of stars play live).
It showed several songs of Amy who …
Dishwalla’s Every Little Thing
This Dishwalla song is from the 2002 album, Opaline. Out of all the songs on this album (one of them is “Angels and Devils”) Every Little Thing is the best and I’m not saying for this album only but with all of the songs they have ever done. When …
Kenny Rogers: There You Go Again CD
The Kenny Rogers: There You Go Again CD is labeled as enhanced and purports to offer some extras when listened to on your computer. One of the things I like about it is that when the home screen appears, instrumental music from the title track plays. When …
Girls, Girls, Girls (2001): Jay-Z
Jay-Z
“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …
Sledding With Tigers - Not Trying To Be Awkward (Song)
Not Trying To Be Awkward is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the second track on their debut album, No Randy No. Set at a more relaxed tempo and pace than the preceding song on the record, Not Trying To Be Awkward focuses the chorus of voices …
