Mariah Carey CD
I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …
Robert Fuller: Am Fub der blauren Berge CD
You just never know what you can find on CD, including this musical contribution from western actor, Robert Fuller. Now before you ask what a cowboy is doing singing German songs, a bit a background is important.
Fuller actually began as a song and dance man as part of …
Album : Survivor - Premonition (1981)
Before the worldwide madness of EYE OF THE TIGER, Survivor were slowly making their way in the music scene and Premonition is their second album. Though 1981 is actually my birth year, my musical taste is actually quite large and i feel i know these albums just as well …

If Tomorrow Never Comes By Ronan Keating

The Flaming Lips - Oh, My Pregnant Head (Song)
Oh, My Pregnant Head is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Opening up in a very melodic fashion, the vocals don’t take very long to kick in with the rest of the band. What I particularly like about this …
Come Rejoice! A Judy Collins Christmas
This is my mom’s ever favorite CD song, which is Come Rejoice! A Judy Collins Christmas by Judy Collins. She loves Judy Collins so much, that she has a collection of every that Judy achieves in her career.
I guess the interest has sort of befallen to me, and …
City Escape - The Dear Hunter
I really like music that mixes a few good genres into something that is a nice swirl of both. Among my favorite combinations of genres is the mix of rock with jazz inspired pieces. There really is something about a piano, and sometimes horns, in a band that really …
Metallica - That Was Just Your Life (Song)
That Was Just Your Life, the opening track to Metallica’s latest record Death Magnetic, certainly has a feel and an energy that I don’t believe the band has had since 1991, the days of The Black Album. I’ll admit that when I first heard this album, this track honestly …
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 …
Sledding With Tigers - Sunshine (Song)
Sunshine is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the fifth song on their first album, No Randy No. Transitioning fluidly out of Love Songs Are Dumb Songs, Sunshine opens up with a group of cynical lyrics sung by a chorus of voices. Personally, I’ll say right now …
The Flaming Lips - Hear It Is (Album)
Hear It Is is the debut album released by The Flaming Lips. I’ll start this review off by just making clear that the sound present throughout this record is significantly different than the sound the band would go on to be known for. Because of this, if you’re a …

Ke$ha: Take it off song
Take it off: this is one of my favorite songs off of Kesha’s debut
album, animal. When I first listened to the song, i didn’t like it because the beat of the song is electric sounding. It reminds you of some of the Veronica songs but after awhile I got …
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 …

Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment

I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …
Stone Temple Pilots - And So I Know (song)
“And So I Know” is a track off of the Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop album released in 1996. Not only do I find this song adversely different from the other tracks on this album, but I also find it to be very relaxing and quite …
The Beatles - Baby You’re A Rich Man (Song)
Baby You’re A Rich Man is a song by The Beatles which appears on their most psychedelic work, Magical Mystery Tour. I chose to include that this is their most psychedelic work because it helps me in describing the overall sound of the track. For some reason this used …

Blitzkrieg is a cover from the metal band called Blitzkrieg which Metallica recorded sometime during the early 1980s as a B-side for Kill —˜Em All, if memory serves me correctly, and officially released on one of the disks for Garage, Inc. I have to say that if Metallica were …

Duffy : Rockerferry

My All Cover Version by Siti Nurhaliza
My All Cover Version by Siti Nurhaliza is awesome, and I’ve listened to her singing this cover version from Mariah Carey before. I really love it, and Siti sang using her own style of voice range and the sound is very cheery and awesome sounding.
For those of …
One More Drink by Ludacris featuring T-Pain
One More Drink is from Ludacris’ latest 2008 album Theater of the Mind. It has a very different sound from usual Ludacris songs, but it is my absolute favorite song of his so far. The blend of a claps and beats to dreamy bells is
stunning. This makes the song …
Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll
This is actually a very sad song, but it’s real and it speaks something that no one wants to speak about, something that people try to pretend doesn’t exist. But cruelty does exist in this world and it happens all the time. This song is about a girl who …

Hurricane is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Desire. One thing I should point out about Hurricane as it’s quite a long track, around eight and a half minutes, so if you aren’t really a fan of longer songs, this track may not be that …
The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Song)
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, a track written primarily by John Lennon for The Beatles’ record Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band would have to be one of the more psychedelic tracks which the band has written, or at least one of the tracks most heavily associated with …
“The Sideline Story” by J. Cole album

“Tommy Henriksen” by Tommy Henriksen (1999 Self-Titled Album)
Before I review this album, it is important to mention that I don’t typically listen to this style of music. I’m a metalhead and also listen to a lot of gothic music, but every once in a while I’ll end up listening to something completely unexpected and far outside …

The Hollow - A Perfect Circle
It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …
