Faryl Smith Album
In 2008 Faryl Smith stunned the many thousands of watchers on the TV Talent show Britain’s Got Talent. At the age of 13 who voice was truly unbelievable, in a good way that was, she had a voice just as good as the most known professionals in …

Carnival Ride is Carrie Underwood’s latest CD. I think this is a very good Cd. The Cd itself is very colorful.
The important part, the music is very good and is sung with quite a bit of ability.
There is quite a variety of songs. Miss Underwood …

Few bands have gone on to do anything after X-Factor but the four lads that call themselves JLS have done very well for themselves and their track, The Club is Alive, to me is what they are all about in away.
I do find it interesting that the main line …

Mansard Roof is the opening track of Vampire Weekend’s self-titled debut record. The song opens up with a definitive rhythm and catchy vocal melody before gradually building up until it really picks up around thirty seconds in and establishes a driving rhythm. What I particularly like about Mansard Roof, …

Rock And Roll is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album Loaded. Opening up with a fairly quick but empty sounding introduction, the intro makes good use of some nice bass fills, but unfortunately really lacks in a guitar riff to hold my attention. Nevertheless, …

Abba has been one of my most favorite groups in the world of music. Their Greatest Hits collection has 19 of the best tracks ever recorded. From Dancing Queen to Waterloo, you will be overwhelmed with rich and powerful music with hours of enjoyment. Polar Music International did not …

Children Sing for Children: 25 Christmas Songs is a great purchase for this holiday season. I bought an audio CD of Children for Children and indeed the kids at home are having great time listening to this. I myself and the whole family do also enjoy the song …

The Vox AC15 CC is a 15watt class A tube amp that is something of an amalagam of previous AC 15 models. The amp is fairly big, and very heavy, weighing something in the neighborhood of 80 pounds, but it’s still easier lugging around than a halfstack.
The AC15 CC …

“Move Along” by the All American Rejects is just an average album. To be quite honest, I kind of wish that I had not spent the money on this song. My overall opinion of this album is that there are a few good songs on the album but the …

One of my favorite performers throughout my life has been Donny Osmond, so I strive to get all the CDs, though I haven’t been able to do that as much in recent years. However, I was able to get the Donny Osmond: Somewhere in Time CD which lists …

I am a huge fan of 80’s idie rock and alternative. Well, indie period. My favorite band is Depechmode, and for the first time I have found something that they can be compared to. Now I’m not saying they are equal, but almost and if you are a Depechmode …

Something Else by Good Charlotte is a song that I like in some ways because it is about how every one wants something else no matter what they might have. It also is talking about how you can be any thing you want to be no matter what your …

Stupid Girl is a track by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Aftermath. Stupid Girl opens up with a quick drum part before developing a very light-hearted rhythm which stays pretty much constant throughout the song, or at least some variation of it. I’ve read a few …

The Best of Stargate SG-1 Season 1 soundtrack CD contains music from 9 different episodes of the hit science fiction series as well as the main title and end credits. I definitely want to mention the liner notes which has a brief summary of the episodes included plus …

Calling you by Blue October is a beautiful song to me because it is talking about a person who is surprised this other person to pick them to go out with them. This song is also wonderful in the way it is talking about a person who is …

Celly Cel is a really good rapper from California. He has been a Bay Area Legend for a long time. He is one of the rapper who had the honor of rapping with bay area legend E-40. I really like his style of rap and his voice. He has a …

To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …

When I was in my second to last year of high school, which was when I was about fourteen years old or so, a new R&B all male African American music group emerged called “B2K”. While I was not too taken with them initially for the obvious fact that …

Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …

This album is really great. I was actually very surprised to find out that this album was not an actual album of new material but it was a compilation album that consisted of the songs Kid Rock had written for his early albums in the 1990s, when he was …

It might be surprising to say this, but this album would have gotten a higher grade if it was a debut album by a band. But, in comparison to all the previous records that this band has put out, this one looks indeed like a kind of disappointment.
Modest Mouse …

The 21st century began with great news on the music world with the incarnation of some hard rock supergroups like “A Perfect Circle”, “Velvet Revolver” and “Audioslave”. This last one was created on 2001, when the remaining members of Rage Against the Machine (after Zack de la Rocha left …

Songs with a slower pace than most rock songs are ones that I typically enjoy, usually because these songs tend to be more creative on average. When a song moves slowly, it almost forces the songwriters to work a little harder at making the song interesting, as they do …

There was a time in the late nineties when indie prog music was making a sizable surge in popularity. With this surge in popularity came a huge surge in the quality of the music, as more and more bands were being noticed for their indie prog sound. It was …

Overview —“ Wake Me Up When September Ends, the fourth music video released for American Idiot by Green Day makes commentary against the United States going into Iraq. The music video definitely returns to the form of a performance and story music video, this time the story is extremely …

I think that this album is really good. I would not say that the whole album is perfect, because it has some minor weird components, from my point of view, but the majority of stuff on this record is really good, and it sounds truly convincing. I think that …

Have Cool, Will Travel is a song by Megadeth which appears on their Cryptic Writings. The track starts off with a sample of some blues song in the left channel along with a children’s song coming through the right channel, certainly an interesting way to start for Megadeth. However, …

Looking back i can’t believe just how strong the thrash metal scene was in 1986. I mean not only did Metallica and Megadeth release instant classics but Slayer also got into the mix.
I think they were pretty smart though, because they made sure that they had a different …

Mo Thugs Family Scriptures is the first and probably best Mo Thugs album to ever be released. This album features Krayzie and Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs N Harmony. I really enjoyed this album. The beats and music sounds very powerful as well as mystical. Mo Thug Family Scriptures …

Penny Dreadfuls is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with some background noise, a piano gradually joins the track before the vocals also come in. In strict contrast to the previous instrumental track, Untitled, the tone …

Nickelback makes great music. The sound is awesome and I really enjoy listening to their sound. I love the drums that are played in most of their songs. The music that flows from Nickelback’s band is nothing short of great. Nickelback rarely makes bad music and they haven’t made bad …

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

Mariah Carey really has a very sweet voice. I love her voice so much; she sings love songs very well and has wonderful voice interpretation of R&B songs too. She is the very first girl we have known to have collaboration with “hip hop” singers, and this is the …

Don’t buy this CD; it is really tasteless. Not to mention I am not really a big fan of this artiste anyway. But he is really talented I have to claim that. For this particular album, the songs are not that nice and I couldn’t relate to …

Coldplay is a British band specializing in the Alternative rock genre. Yellow is a wonderful love song from the Parachutes album they released a while back.
This song starts off with a guitar playing and then merges more into other instruments including drums. The singer, Chris Martin, then begins to …

Panic is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Here Comes The Indian. Opening with a vocal section, the song drags on in this manner for several minutes before entering into an instrumental section which is no more interesting. Unfortunately, Panic strikes me as incredibly similar …

Overview - Ride The Lightning is Metallica’s second album, after their groundbreaking thrash album Kill ‘Em All. While Kill ‘Em All was pure thrash metal from front to back in just a constant assault, Ride The Lightning expands on this form of music while incorporating melodic aspects to it …

Love game is the third single of the album “The Fame” by Lady Gaga. It is an electropop song that is very successful in charts.
The music video is so scandalous that some channels banned it. I think this video is so amazing and joyful. I can feel the inspiration …

I love The Verve. They’re sound is similar to that of Oasis, very haunting and thought provoking. This is their greatest hits album. I don’t own many of their singles, hence why I decided to buy this album. The album is simply amazing. The standout track for me is …

It’s a weird title, but The Only Other Broadway CD You’ll Ever Need is really the name of this CD, which features a variety of Broadway standout numbers from a slew of performers.
The liner jacket covers each song, the play it’s from, and the performers, so it gives the …

From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

Mono is a post-rock band from Japan that has amazed the fans of Mogwai Godspeed You! Black Emperor etc with their powerful mixture of guitar cascades and symphonic soundscape beauty. Karelia begins in the lowest possible tempo, but rises slowly to a ravaging sound, not the tiniest bit angry, …
