I became a Green Day fan as soon as I heard one or two singles from their 2004 hit album “American Idiot.” I liked the anger and almost rage they expressed, and the hard-rocking style was something that impressed me when many other groups began putting out more —˜gentle’ …

Andy Griggs is one of those country music artists that only have a good song every so often. But he really landed a good one with this one. It’s funny though because the girl he describes in this song kind of descibes me. Anyway, in the song he describes …

Paper Lanterns is a track by Green Day which appears on their first album, 1039/Smoothed Out Happy Hours. Although the introduction of this song sounds like something I’ve heard from Green Day countless times before, I like how it sounds pretty raw and really doesn’t sound all that produced …

No More Tears is my favorite solo album by Ozzy Osbourne.I love every song on the album with all of my heart’s content.The reason mainly is Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing.However, I feel like they captured Ozzy’s voice and desire in a very mature time in his life.The overall feel …

Aaliyah’s follow up to “Back and Forth”, “At Your Best (You Are Love)”, takes a more laid back, and chilled-out yet funky and romantic approach in both the song and the video itself. She’s got …

I’ve never heard of Chris Daughtry nor his band Daughtry. But when I heard the song ‘Home’, I came to appreciate his music.
Then, there was a radio station which played ‘Over You’. Upon hearing that music, I admired Chris Daughtry’s music all the more.
The way Chris Daughtry interprets the …

Serious is the opening song of Scars On Broadway’s self-titled debut record. As this being the first record, some fans were not sure what to expect from Daron Malakian, whether he’d go with the sound that he had in System Of A Down or whether he’d go in a …

This is Pantera’s second album, the title comes from the movie The Exorcist. Released in 1992 and produced by Terry Date again, this album is far more aggressive than the last, tighter, darker, faster, and I don’t think it could have been much heavier. Mouth for war opens the …

I have read several reviews of this album that state that this is the long-expected come-back album by Oasis.

Mary J. Blige is a real great crooner. She sings from her heart and whenever I hear her sing, I know she sings sincerely as well and takes real care in her songs and the makings of it.
I have this particular CD album from her titled, Growing …

When it comes to music I know when I really like an act or artist because I buy an album pretty much based on one or two songs and then just seem to listen to these songs over and over again.
This was the case with James Morrison. His song …

When it comes to writing the perfect pop hook in this day and age I really don’t think it gets any better than the outlandish Lady Gaga. Even without the unforgettable video, this song has this perfect ability to straddle bizarre and mainstream so expertly your not sure …

Hurt is a song by Nine Inch Nails which is the final track on their concept album, The Downward Spiral. Something to note about this song was that it was covered by Johnny Cash before the time of his death, but I’ll be focusing on the version by Nine …

It Hurts Me Too is a traditional song arranged and performed by Bob Dylan and appearing on his album Self Portrait. I’m slightly familiar with The Grateful Dead version of this track so it’ll be interesting to hear how Dylan interpreted it. Dylan unfortunately starts out with a not …

If you aren’t familiar with “Fun House,” then not only are you missing out on one of the greatest rock albums ever made…but you haven’t even HEARD true rock music, not the way it’s meant to be, at least. This album is everything that’s great about rock: it’s dirty, …

“Force Fed Broken Glass” is quite possibly my favorite Cannibal Corpse song off their 1994 album “The Bleeding”. This happens to be the 9th track on the album which is the second to last song. It’s kind of weird that they put such a good song towards the end …

I recently purchased a new Fender Frontman 25R Practice amp for a room that I have set up, and I have to say that for a small, inexpensive amp, it does very well. I was able to play at fairly high levels, without hearing …

Sometimes i have a preconceived rough idea on what an album is going to sound like before i listen to it. I have found that without bragging i am right more often than not. The problem with doing this though, is that when i build an album up in …

Overview —“ B.Y.O.B., or Bring Your Own Bombs, the first single and music video released by System of A Down for their first half of the double album Mezmerize/Hypnotize brings back the steady songwriting that I personally felt the band sort of lacked on Steal This Album. Listening to …

Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …
