Carrie Underwood “Last Name”
I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …

The Lumineers, 2012 Album by The Lumineers
I have never been a huge fan of folk music. I never was particularly interested in it even though of course I’m a huge music fan, and I do not mind any genres by themselves. But it was very rare that my heart would be drawn by itself to …

Results May Vary, 2004 Album by Limp Bizkit
This record is appalling. I remember coming to this conclusion as soon as I listened to this record for the first time, and I still believe that this is the case. There is really nothing redeeming that can ever be said about this album, from my point of view, …
BoA Korean singer

Korn CD-See You On the Other Side
Korn is one of my all-time favorite bands, and they always know how to rocks. However, the recent loss of their guitarist is apparent since he brought a distinctive sound to any song with his loose-string playing, and it brings this CD down. My favorite song on …
