In the end by Likin park
In the end by Likin park is a song that has an awesome beat to it and the words are a little bit freaky. I like the way the song starts out personally but the rest of the song is good too. In the begging of the song …

TP-3 Reloaded

Chapter 20 of “Trapped in the Closet” brings the story back to the elderly couple as Rosie the nosy neighbor is seen reading her bible at home (this series is just full of ‘black people cliches’, now isn’t it?) when her …
Metallica - The Day That Never Comes (Song)
The Day That Never Comes, the first ballad on Death Magnetic, certainly is yet another good example of Metallica were being truthful when they said they let past records influence them on this album. Whereas the first half of this ballad (Let’s remember that the first half of Metallica …
The Cranberries - To The Faithful Departed (1996)
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 …

Seventeen Seconds, 1980 Album by The Cure
This is a very beautiful record. Its beauty is very fine and well crafted. After you listen to this album for the first time, you might think that this record is not very rich in content, but in that case, you would be wrong, since this music is such …
“Snake” (2003): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Snake”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …
Animal Collective - Water Curses (Song)
Water Curses is a song by Animal Collective and is the title track of their 2008 EP release. Opening with a synthesizer intro, Water Curses quickly transitions into a lighthearted and easily flowing track which the instruments and Tare’s voice do a good job of establishing. Although the songwriting …
Circus by Britney Spears
Britney’s comeback is truly what ‘Circus’ is all about. The song tells about her being a showbiz entertainer. She knows her place. She knows what she wants on stage and off cam. Well, I hope she’s better be good now after a lot of hard beats the people had …

The Rolling Stones - Dancing With Mr. D (Song)
Dancing With Mr. D is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Goats Head Soup. The track starts off with a fairly laid-back guitar riff from Richards which seems to have a blues feel to it but the drum rhythm sort of gives the song …
Harder to breathe by Maroon Five
Harder to breathe by Maroon Five is an awesome song and the lyrics are pretty catchy. I like the beat though because of the drums and all that. This song I found by listening to it on the radio and I wanted to find out where I could get …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side IV)
Overview - Although Side IV of The Wall isn’t as good as side III, it still has some very good songs on it and wraps up the story behind this album very well in the end. In fact I’d have to say that this side has two of my …
Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
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 …
All That Remains: Fall Of Ideals
When I first heard of this band, I didn’t really know to much about them other than they sounded a lot like Killswitch Engage. Well I got more than I bargained for. When I borrowed this CD from my friend Jacob, I was soon to find out that they …

“Stiff-upper lip” AC/DC music album
Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …

I was never really a fan of the singer Billy Joel until only a few years ago. This might have been because a certain radio station personality would play his songs too regularly for me to appreciate them at the time.
Billy Joel is one singer whose history I …
Passion Pit- Sleepyhead
Sleepyhead is a song off of Passion Pit’s first EP, Chunk of Change, although it’s also on their first full album, Manners. Of all the songs that they have done, Sleepyhead is by far my favorurite, and I’ve had it on repeat for the last week, because it’s so …
Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand - Single
You have to wonder how some people manage to get a song in the charts, especially high in the charts and for me this is one of them.

Flo Rida - Club Can’t Handle Me Song

Syd Barrett - Barrett
Overview - Barrett, the second solo record of Syd Barrett, is more stripped down songwriting - basically the exact opposite of his work in Pink Floyd. While in Pink Floyd Barrett worked a lot with very frantic and chaotic psychedelic music, but this album really isn’t like that at …
Sufjan Stevens Illinoise
I just recently started listing to Sufjan Stevens and really really really enjoy them. they have a unique sound that I dont think can be found in any other artist of today. the track titles are extreamly long and hilarious such as track #2 entitled The Black Hawk War, …

Dirt by Alice in Chains (album)
Marking the 19th anniversary of Alice in Chain’s “Dirt”, it is only fitting to pay it tribute and praise for what it did for many fans of the band, and many people who were introduced to them through that album. This album had many very dark tones, battling many …

Alice in Chains
“Alice in Chains” was one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Some people said that their music was grunge. However, I think that their music was much more than grunge, as some of those people only say that because the band originated in grunge rock capital of …
Bleed Like Me, 2005 Album by Garbage
I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …
