This is a very special album by a very special band, at least to me. This was actually the first Sonic Youth album I ever listened to. And the music on this album attracted me. It drew me into an entirely different world. I got really interested in the …

Black Eyed Peas Where Is The Love is a beautiful song I like listening to because it talks about how the world is today. No lies so far I have found in this song. It talks about how we need to do as we say and proclaim and not …

Before they were one of the greatest bands of all time, there was the black album.
Opening the album is the heavyly rotated “Enter Sandman”. This track begins with mouth crunching guitars and drums. Throughout the entire track you are wondering if the boogyman himself …

Sweet song, this is; Don’t Forget To Remember Me by Carrie Underwood. I enjoyed myself listening to this song pretty much each time and when I watch the music video, I know understand why Carrie was chosen by the judges or rather, the viewers out there in American Idol. …

La Rapet is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Kicking off with the vocals right away, the first thing I notice is that better production could’ve certainly helped this song because the vocals are fairly hard to make …

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 …

How good has it been over the last few years to be a fan of thrash metal!! I like loads of different kinds of music, more than most people i know, but old-school thrash metal will always hold a special little place in my heart as it’s the music …

After System of a Down broke up, the lead singer Serj Tankian decided to do his own solo album and after a bit of a wait, we got Elect the Dead. In all honestly, while I would have preferred a regular System of a Down album over this, this …

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is the second and most recent album released by Neutral Milk Hotel. One of my friends considered this to be in their top five albums of all time, so I will admit that I went into the listening of the record with slightly …

The CD The Beatles 1 is a compilation of 17 of the Beatles’ hit singles. With about 80 minutes of music, and only the good songs, this was a great value for the money. Beatles music is something that I never get tired of, and …

“Trapped In The Closet, Part 9″
TP-3 Reloaded
Jive Records
Part 9 in the “Trapped In The Closet” series picks up right after Part 8. Officer James begins to hear a noise in the kitchen and starts searching around - behind the fridge, under the table - nothing, but he does …

This song is such a feel good dance song. I originally looked it up because one of my favourite music artist said it was his current favourite song. Now I look way past that and question why I did not know this song before! It is a combination between …

In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …

Under The Boardwalk is a track by The Rolling Stones which appears on The Rolling Stones No. 2. I’m aware that this song is a cover so I cannot really comment on the structure of the actual songwriting of the track so I’ll be focusing on the execution of …

“Hell Chose Me” is the 3rd outing from death metal/hardcore band Carnifex. Let me start off this review by saying this completely sounds like a new, completely unrelated band. The progession from their second album “The Diseased and The Poisoned” is so noticeable with this album, that the two …

Neil Diamond was always a favourite singer of mine way back to the 1970’s. As a fan of the Monkees, too, I loved what they did with ‘I’m a Believer’ and ‘Little Bit Me, Little Bit You’.
He was a mash in the film ‘The Jazz Singer.’
His newest album Home …

The liner jacket for Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD is nothing more than a very long credits listing, so that’s a little disappointing. There is a quick few lines signed by Barry on the last page, but that doesn’t help to make the liner worthwhile. When …

After listening to the Pirates of the Carribean Ultimate Swashbuckler collection CD that came with our Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man’s Chest DVD, I can understand why they chose to give it away rather than sell it.
While it is a good historical account of the songs pirates often …

I heard this track the other day, can’t remember where now, but it took me back years to when my mum and dad used to listen to Status Quo and I remembered how much I love this song.
Perhaps it has extra relevance to me now as my friend is …

I personally do not like this album. Some of the songs on this album were commercially successful, even though I think that this album is quite boring and dull.
This album is rather long. The previous Cure album, Disintegration, was very good. Disintegration is also a very long album, but …

Overview —“ Damage, Inc. the final song on Metallica’s third record, Master Of Puppets, opens up with a layer of bass lines before giving way to one final thrash assault for this record. In a sense this song is pretty similar to the structure of Battery except Damage Inc. …

R. Kelly ft. Usher
“Same Girl”
Double Up

“Same Girl” is a rather refreshing breath of air in R. Kelly’s chronology of singles and music videos. Big time. This music video is of “Dow Low (Nobody Has to Know)” and “Trapped in the Closet” caliber. “Same Girl” is the second single …

What’s Left Of The Flag is a song by Flogging Molly which appears on their record Drunken Lullabies. The vocals waste no time coming into this track as they start right away simultaneously with a violin part as well as an acoustic guitar strumming a simple pattern in the …

I don’t know how to say this, but I’m so in love with jazz music lately. Especially after I’ve listened to Bossa Nova Stories by Eliane Elias. I do not realize that Jazz music, or rather Bossa Nova could be really attractive and seductive. It makes me …

A very powerful voice by Darlene Zschech as she sings the song Here In My Life which deeply touched my spirit as I sing this song along even if I was alone or with somebody. I like how high is Darlene’s pitch. She is one of the best singers …

I was talking with a friend of mine about Cranberries albums, and he asked me, which one is the odd one? The one that doesn’t fit. Well, it certainly is “To The Faithful Departed”. While “No Need ” was a natural evolution from “Everybody “, this album is the unnatural …

Secret Door is a song by the Arctic Monkeys which appears on their album Humbug. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern before the vocals join in with a melodic delivery, Secret Door quickly changes its general tone which I personally wasn’t a big fan of because I liked …

Shontelle is an R&B singer-songwriter from Barbados. This aspiring lawyer-singer is also the one who sang T-shirt, which became my theme song whenever I am taking a bath. Impossible is another hit single coming from her that is far much better than T-shirt because of the story. The story …

This album is the complete opposite of the previous „Wish you Were Here”. When I first listened to it, I was shocked by the huge leap the band made from that album. If WYWH was about emotions, intimacy, and empathy, „Animals” is a strikingly bleak and politic statement, in …

It Ain’t Me Babe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on Another Side Of Bob Dylan. As with many of songs from Dylan’s earlier records, the instrumentation is extremely stripped down and primarily just features an acoustic guitar playing a basic pattern which Dylan sings over and …

Tell me I was dreaming is a love ballad by Travis Tritt. It is the type of song that typically brings tears to most of us. The video is not what I expected the first time I heard the song and then watched the video. It was a unique …

One could find many reasons to criticize this album, probably, but I personally do like it though. I first got acquainted with KMFDM by their post-millennial albums, and then I got to listen to this, which could be considered its first true complete album, even though there were two …
