Music Reviews
Bad Moon Rising, 1985 Album by Sonic Youth
This album is a very interesting record. I would not even say that it is a good or strong record as such, but it is surely pretty interesting to listen to. This record, which appears very early in their career, shows how heavy and experimental this band is. Even …

For you who loves rock band and know Flyleaf must know with the female vocalist, Lacey Mosley. I know her since I know Flyleaf. I like all their song, and I really the big fan of Lacey Mosley.

Low by Flo Rida ft. T-pain
Low by Flo Rida ft. T-pain is a new rap song that is out which I like a lot. I know the words by heart and I have learned the dance. My one friend not long ago asked me to sing the song because I told him I knew …
Bob Dylan - If You See Her, Say Hello (Song)
If You See Her, Say Hello is a track from Bob Dylan’s album Blood On The Tracks and certainly one of the songs on that record which I believe does a good job of conveying quite a bit of emotion and power behind both Dylan’s lyrics and vocals. I …
Different Gear, Still Speeding 2011 Album by Beady Eye
I was, for a very long time, a huge Oasis fan. I loved their first albums. Especially I enjoyed the second and the third albums. But all their work after 1998 left me rather disappointed. So, I was very interested as to what was going to occur after the …
The Clash Sandinista!
The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …
Blue Cantrell
When I was still in my younger years in high school, I would listen to hip hop music not necessarily because I was interested in most of the songs, but because a lot of my peers were listening to the music as well and I wanted to fit in …
Radiology - Lovedrug
During the late nineties, there was a bit of a revival of the more melodic progressive rock that had been popular in the mid to late eighties. While the eighties saw a very stripped down kind of sound, with a heavy emphasis on melodic guitar lines and keyboard sounds, …
Bon Iver in Concert
I grew up in a house full of music. My father is a Grammy-award winner. We were raised on good music. I believe one of the pioneers of music today is definitely the band Bon Iver, led by Justin Vernon. I’ve seen a lot of great indie concerts over …
Soulja Boy
I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …
Holding Someones Hair Back - Circa Survive
It is no secret that Circa Survive is one of my favorite bands, and that i tend to enjoy the bulk of the library. There are a few songs that stand out for me, and “Holding Someones Hair Back” is just one of these songs. While many of their …
The Grateful Dead - Viola Lee Blues (Song)
Viola Lee Blues is a track which appears on The Grateful Dead’s self-titled debut record. I remember that the first time I heard this track the first thing that struck me was the track length of the song since it’s over ten minutes in length. I’ll say right now, …
Katatonia The Great Cold Distance CD
Katatonia is a great band. They always have been. The actual music of the band is complex, inventive and catchy, all without being “sold out” or “poppy”. “The Great Cold Distance” is no exception. The instrumentation is complex, edgy, hard and very evolved from their previous works. There is …
What about Love (song) from Heart
Aside from Total Eclipse by Bonnie Tyler and Alone by Heart, this is one of those powerful songs that you can sing as an audition piece or your bullet to winning a singing contest. This songs sounds serious and it makes me proud that most of Filipino Singers can …
BatMan Forever Soundtrack (CD)
The BatMan Forever Soundtrack has some really great music. The CD has some great artists like Bone Thugs N Harmony, U2 and even Method Man. I think the CD has an overall really good sound to it. One thing I really like about the CD is that it’s must better …
Bob Dylan - One More Weekend (Song)
One More Weekend is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album New Morning. The starts off in a lazy and laid-back fashion with a blues sounding rhythm with Dylan coming in with the vocals. I don’t like the use of background vocals on this track as …
“El Camino” LP by The Black Keys (2011)
The Black Keys, a blues rock duo out of Ohio, has been releasing records since the early 2000’s, but truly broke through to mainstream success with the release of 2010’s “Brothers.” A good friend of mine, who’s gotten me into countless bands, turned me onto the Keys years back, …
Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music
I have always been upset that I missed Woodstock and missed most of the 60’s. I have been jealous of those people who lived through that decade of peace, love and rock and roll. My music tastes, and sometimes even my taste in fashion and lifestyle have trended toward …
Song: Alejandro by Lady Gaga
Once again Lady Gaga gives us another amazing single. I love Alejandro with its throwback to past hits ranging from ABBA’s “Fernando” to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. I have a hard time getting this song out of my head every time I hear it which is a …
Surfer Rosa, 1988 Album by The Pixies
I am one of those people who found out about the Pixies after paying attention to the song in the end credits of The Fight Club movie. I unwillingly paid attention to that song, and tried to find out what the name of the band and the song was …
Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells (Song)
Ring Them Bells is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Oh Mercy. Ring Them Bells is a pretty laid-back track and primarily just features Dylan singing along with a piano behind him in a pretty serious and somber tone in his voice in my opinion. …
The Rolling Stones - Empty Heart (Song)
Empty Heart is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on the EP Five By Five. Empty Heart opens up with a guitar riff along with a simple moving drum rhythm which gives the track a pretty traditional rock and roll sound and this is only reinforced once …
Let It Snow! (Bonus Live Track) by Michael Buble
I found a real good Christmas album in Let It Snow! (Bonus Live Track) by Michael Buble. This is a great buy for this season. I was not wrong when I bought this album of one of my favorite singers. I am dead over hills over …

Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce

What is it with Beyonce and her two female back-up dancers? Are they having lesbian threesomes? Is Jay-Z even included in any of the action? After having the both of them in three to four videos …
Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface
I’ve been recording music for about a year now in my house. I use the Tascam US-122 Interface and it works beautifully. On it you can control your headphones and Mic outputs. You can plug up to 2 mics into it and also any instrument such as keyboards, …
Fuck you right back by Frankee
Fuck you right back by Frankee is a reply to Eamon’s song fuck it. It is the other half of the story because every story has at least two sides and some times more. This is the girls side and I like it better than the guys side …
Justin Timberlake
I hate Justin Timberlake. He is flat out boastful, arrogant and an ass. His songs are not that good as well. I think the only reason that Justin Timberlake made it through as an artist is the fact that the bosses in the NSYNC’s management group decided that they …
Song: Man on the Silver Mountain by Mago de Oz
Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow is one of my favorite songs of all times. Ritchie Blackmore’s hard rock guitar style is unbeatable and the very riff of Man on The Silver Mountain is one of the best riffs ever. Ronnie James Dio will always be one of …

System Of A Down - Deer Dance (Song)
Deer Dance is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second album, Toxicity. The track opens up with an extremely heavy rhythm from Malakian’s guitar and the drums and bass further add to this heavy riff. The track then goes into this sort of sliding …
Demi Lovato - Skyscraper (Song)
I never really pay attention to Demi Lovato. All of a sudden, her new single released and it was everywhere. It also went straight to #1 on itunes. I was so surprised so I did a little research and found out she had eating disorders, cut herself, and went …
Daydream Nation, 1988 Album by Sonic Youth
It is difficult to overestimate the impact and quality of this record. The remarkable achievement that this record is should be considered in the context at which it was released. If an album like this was released in 1991, it would not have been a great album, but, as …
Deftones
The Deftones released their fourth album the self titled Deftones, in May of 2003, the album was produced by Terry Date and The Deftones. Hexagram is the band in their classic style, the perfect mix of loud and mellow. Needles And Pins has a darker feel that reminds me …
Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton
I love the song, Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton very much! Paris looks so adorable in the music video and if I’m right, this is one of the first few videos that she has released. Not sure which music record company she’s under, but if it’s …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Everything Is (Album)
Everything Is is the first EP released by Neutral Milk Hotel which is comprised of four tracks: Everything Is, Snow Song Pt. 1, Aunt Eggma Blowtorch, and Tuesday Moon. In terms of the diversity of the record, I would say that the EP does do a pretty good job …
The Final Cut, 1983 Album by Pink Floyd
I remember how I enjoyed this record, used to come back to it again and again. I did not have the lyrics for the album in the booklet, so I printed them out separately, and I would follow the album through with the lyrics, and it was pretty interesting. …
Metallica - Overkill (Song)
Overkill is a cover performed by Metallica which appears on their album full of covers, both old covers and newly recorded covers, Garage, Inc. Overkill is just one of I believe four Motorhead covers which Metallica chose to end this record with, and like the other three it seems …
The Doors - Light My Fire (Song)
Light My Fire is a song by The Doors which appears on their self-titled debut record. Light My Fire is one of the better known songs by The Doors and there isn’t any reason as to why it shouldn’t be. There’s always those songs which are pretty well known …
Debarge (music group)
It was my mother who first told me about the R&B music group “Debarge” even though I had heard their music playing sometimes on the radio over the years. I was familiar with a few of their songs, and while I had heard them playing, I just was not …
“Insomniatic” Album by Aly & AJ
I listen to a lot of musical artists that are around my age because they typically sing about subjects that are more relevant to me. Aly & AJ are a pair of sisters that sing together and have made multiple albums together. Insomniatic is one of their albums and …
Ke$ha’s New CD-Animal
Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …
H20 Solitudes CD 2008
I first heard this CD playing on a machine in a gift shop at callaway Gardens. It is a relaxing ambient type of cd, but melodic and not completely random sounds like some relaxation works are. These songs are performed by Chris Phillips, and is one in the line of …
The Flaming Lips - Halloween On The Barbary Coast (Song)
Halloween On The Barbary Coast is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death in the Future Head. Opening up with a collection of somewhat random sounds, a moderate guitar lead soon drives the track until some interesting percussive work also starts to …
Significant Other, 1999 Album by Limp Bizkit
If I assess this album now, trying to figure out its worth more objectively, I probably would have a more sober opinion of it. But even after the passage of so many years, I still find it almost impossible to have an analytical, cold view of this album, because …
Rob Zombie-Past,Present,Future CD
This is a great collection, showcasing the best of Rob Zombie’s work, both with White Zombie and as a solo artist. With 19 songs, you certainly get your money’s worth. But as with all greatest hits collections, if you’re a big enough fan of the singer, you …
Timbaland feat. Katy Perry - If I Ever See You Again (Music)
I love Timbaland, and he’s always so sensual and melodramatic sometimes when it comes to his songs but they’re really wholesome, and when I heard Katy Perry was going to sing her too I was very ecstatic as I love her, and although they might have come off as …
The Grateful Dead - The Grateful Dead
Overview - The Grateful Dead, the debut album of the band of the same name, introduces the band’s ability to write catchy songs and their ability to apply their style to a wide range of covers. The one word I can describe this album with is energetic. The energy …
The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall
I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …
Animal Collective - Moo Rah Rah Rain (Song)
Moo Rah Rah Rain is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate track on their third studio release, Campfire Songs. Opening up with an almost tribal-like vocal pattern, the band is able to establish a mood which is unique from the previous three tracks before the acoustic …
