No More Runnin’ is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their 2009 studio record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening with an incredibly gentle and melodic sound, No More Runnin’ may have one of the more melodic sections on the entire record, second to perhaps only Bluish. …

Overview —“ St. Anger, the title track of Metallica’s 2003 release is one of many tracks that fans couldn’t stop criticizing and insulting. I don’t want to make this whole review where I give my opinion on the actual album itself, because I didn’t like it either, but this …

Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …

Stay Too Long, for me , shows the more upbeat side of Plan B’s nature. If you think he only does down beat or deep stuff this is a real head lightener for you. It’s bright from the start and dare I say it, chirpy and catchy.
It’s one of …

With some trepidation - after all, I had heard BAD things about her latest release - I purchased My December, Kelly Clarkson’s third album.
I’m glad I did.

Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …

Ciara like a boy is about how what would happen if the rules changed up and the girls act just like the guys and the guys act like the girls. Would that work, I don’t think so but that is how lots of guys act. They are players and …

The Blackening is metal legends Machine Head’s sixth offering to the “Djent” scene.
The production is much more polished than previous albums, and the overall sound is crisper, and tighter. The band have definitely stepped up a notch in terms of technical ability and musicianship with this offering, and as …

Marty Sampson has a very husky voice in singing this song All I Need Is You. I really like the song because of the wonderful message and the composition of it was also amazing.
He also leads the guitar as he sings although you can obviously hear from Marty’s voice …

Bon Jovi is one of those huge artists in music that will always be in the major leagues of Rock N Roll forever and they will probably play big gigs til there done. One of the songs I really like by them and it is huge hit is the …

Make no mistake about the tracks in Decade In The Sun by Stereophonics. If you have the interest of an Indie band style type of music and you are really looking for nice type of tunes; with a slow-rock bit of an influence, kind of country indie rock, I’d …

I love this album. I never actually believed I’d like something by Pearl Jam, not because I consider them a weak band, but because their musical style left me cold. Some categorize it as alternative rock, although I’d much rather say that they’re just a good hard rock band …

Telephone is a song by Lady Gaga which appears on her album The Fame Monster. The track opens up with a fairly quiet mood which serves as a nice contrast to the majority of the track which is much more lively and energetic. I think that a nice thing …

I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
