This is 3 doors down’s first major label album released in 2000 on Universal Records. You could call this album post grunge I guess, there are heavy parts but it’s not really a heavy album. Singles include Kryptonite Loser, and Be Like That. The album is a really interesting …

It has been quite a while since a singer has released an album with so many singles that I really, really like with the last such albums going back to Tamia’s self titled album, Puff Johnson’s ‘Miracle’ and Anita Baker’s ‘Caught up in a Rapture’.
Alicia Key’s latest offering, ‘The …

Ride The Lightning, the title track of Metallica’s second release, is a song where I believe you can hear some aspects of Kill —˜Em All blended with some new aspects from Ride The Lightning. The reason I say this is because the music to …

This is another of Chris Cornell’s solo albums but very different from anything he has ever done before. He worked with Timbaland on this, so already you’ll know it doesn’t sound like Soundgarden, Audioslave or even his other previous solo work.
I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, so I …

Airbourne storm onto the scene with the thundering, rocking, beer-drinking, womanizing “Runnin’ Wild”.

The long-standing band A.C., whose offensive name is often abreviated as such, is notorious and infamous for their noise-filled “anti-music” with frontman Seth Putnam screaming extremely offensive lyrics.
