The Saturdays are a relatively new band which has already made some chart topping hits. Most noticeably is their new EP “Just can’t enough” I at first wasn’t all that too sure if it would be a”hit” and a great rendition to the original from dépêche mode. Never the less …

Now that I’m listening to a bit more of Muse’s music I’m realizing that a lot of it actually isn’t driven by guitar very much at all, and this is quite a contrast to the music which I’m typically accustomed to listening to. Obviously Muse does have guitar parts …

I have heard from the radio that Leona Lewis is a winner of a show in Europe, I think in United Kingdom. If I am not mistaked, she won that ‘X-Factor’ show. After making that hit song ‘Bleeding Love’, I think the song ‘Here I Am’ as another great …

Brad Paisley always sings the most humerous and light-hearted songs I have ever heard in country music. This song is a light way of saying that when you are young, you really don’t know what you are talking about. And for once in my life, I agree. When I …

One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …

Blowin’ In The Wind, one of Bob Dylan’s most famous and ionic songs throughout his extremely lengthy career proves to certainly meet it’s reputation as the track itself is just great. As with most early Bob Dylan, or rather most Bob Dylan for that matter, the track isn’t driven …

One of the best songs I ever heard. This side of Katy Perry, which is somewhat serious, is very surprising. Katy Perry is a bold artist writing songs about realities in life. One of these songs is Thinking of You.
Its lyrics talks about losing a loved one and the …

Well, I have been a fan of these guys for a while and when I heard that they were releasing another CD, I kind of had my doubts. I felt that these guys had reached their peaks at just having cellos and distortion effects in their music. But I …

The Gaslight Anthem is a punk rock band from New Jersey. “The 59 Sound” is there second album less than two years, but it seems like they have been working on this forever. They are quoted as saying that Bruce Springsteen is one of their main influences …

Sometimes I watch a performance of live music and you have to wonder whether you are being asked to buy into the song, or the looks of the artist. I asked myself this when watching the X-Factor Final and Rhianna came out to perform.

“The Body Rock” appears off of Busta Rhymes album When Disaster Strikes. It is the 17th track off of the absolute stellar album, often criticized as being his best. This is kind of crazy considering that there are 19 tracks all together. It’s nearly impossible to release such a …

I was, for a very long time, a huge Oasis fan. I loved their first albums. Especially I enjoyed the second and the third albums. But all their work after 1998 left me rather disappointed. So, I was very interested as to what was going to occur after the …

The Rolling Stones are old. Some people say they were far too old to be playing at the Super Bowl a few years back. I say leave them alone. They have earned the right to age, they have put in their time as young people, but their music lives …

Hoobastank was one of those bands that I remember had a lot of hits when I was a teenager. I wasn’t a huge fan per se, but I did like a lot of their music. These days, when going through some of their earlier music and listening to some of …

Falling Away With You is a song by Muse which appears on their record Absolution. The song opens up with an extremely melodic synthesizer rhythm which an acoustic guitar lead soon comes in over. Bellamy’s vocal melody pretty much mimics this acoustic guitar part but it works well nonetheless …

The first single off the latest Stone Temple Pilots record released almost a year ago is the first track entitled Between The Lines. It has an upbeat tempo that it starts off the album with. This song starts off with a heavy guitar intro where almost immediately Scott’s …

ReJoyce by Jessica Simpson is her first (and only so far) Christmas CD that came out in 2004. I love this CD and my only complaint is that I wish there were more than 11 songs on the CD. She has classics on there as well as new songs. …

I am hooked on Katy Perry’s repertoire these days. What got me started was her hit single, California Girls. At that time, about a month ago, I had no idea if this girl had much wider capability. As I heard her other songs however, I began …

“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 …

Truly, Madly, Deeply, By Savage Garden is a song I like but now don’t listen to much after I found it on this one persons myspace page who is so mad at me I have no honest clue why. The song has a cool soft beat to it and …

How often do you have ups and downs in one year? How often do our aspirations and emotions change? All the …

Danse Manatee is the second record released by Animal Collective. Following Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished, the best way I can summarize this album is that it actually seems to be a decline and a step down in songwriting unfortunately. Though Danse Manatee does certainly have its moments …

The Deftones released their fourth album the self titled Deftones, in May of 2003, the album was produced by Terry Date and The Deftones. Hexagram is the band in their classic style, the perfect mix of loud and mellow. Needles And Pins has a darker feel that reminds me …
