Pink Floyd - Money (Song)
Money is track a track by Pink Floyd which appears on their iconic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. I say that the album itself is iconic but I’d also say that this track, along with many others on that album, has also become iconic in rock and …
Megadeth - High Speed Dirt (Music Video)
Overview —“ High Speed Dirt, a music video released by Megadeth for their fifth effort, Countdown To Extinction, is a song and music video focused all about skydiving. It’s interesting that Megadeth chose to not release this song as a single yet still make a music video for it. …
Buffet E11 Clarinet
The Buffet E11 Clarinet- The standard-issue clarinet that schools give out (if they can afford better than a Yamaha or Jupiter).
First Impression: My first thought when I saw the E11 was that it had a nice build to it- it looked a lot sleeker than it’s predecessor. I …
“Amanda”
“Amada”
Performer: Boston
Since listening to Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”, I have been on the prowl to find more of their music and I came across (what appears to be a power ballad) “Amanda”. The song “Amanda” is the first song off of their third album, “Third Stage”.
Again, I’ll confess …
Fall by Clay Walker (Song)
Clay Walker is one of those old-fashioned country singers who has been around since like the 1970s. Wonderful singer, wonderful performer and he has quite the heart for people. I haven’t heard much from him lately, but this is one of his older songs that I really enjoyed in …
Tool - Aenima (Song)
Aenima is the title track for a record released by Tool. The track starts off with a heavy sounding guitar rhythm which leads into a very nice and heavy sounding rhythm once the bass and drums come in. The verse of the song is actually led by a bass …
Take Me Home Country Roads
Take Me Home Country Roads is one of John Denver’s many top hits. It is a song about him growing up in hills of West Virginia as a boy. It talks about how he remembers so many things and how they change over the years. That if he listens …
Album : Emerald Sun - Regeneration (2011)
As much as i enjoy the occasional power metal album, these days there are so many options available and releases in the genre are so frequent that it’s gotten to the point that an album of this style really needs something special if it’s going to draw me in …
Disclosure ft. Lorde - Magnets (Song )
“Teen hottie” Lorde (or at least that’s what the twittersphere is calling her) has released new music in collaboration with Disclosure. The song titled “Magnets” is included in Disclosure’s newly released album “Caracal” available now everywhere.
Lorde has been absent in the music industry for quite some time now. In …
The Offspring Ixnay on the Hombre Album
This album is not one of my favorites to be honest, but it’s by no means a bad album, all I am saying is compared to other albums like Americana and Smash, this is a bit lower on my list of The Offspring’s albums. Still it’s an overall solid …
Radiohead - Nice Dream (Song)
(Nice Dream) is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second record, The Bends. The song opens up with a simple acoustic guitar strumming pattern before other instruments begin to join in and fill in the sound. Thom Yorke comes in with the first verse with a very …
Firework - Katy Perry (From The Album, Teenage Dream)
When I first heard of Katy Perry’s Firework, I thought it is just another teenage song and so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But yesterday, my brother showed me a video he made using that song, and I was moved by the lyrics. Contrary to what I …
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (1994)
I hate this album. I hate it just because this is the last Pink Floyd album, for good. That’s the only reason, other than that, this is the first Pink Floyd album I got to listen to as a whole, and the song that made me listen, was High …

Cream - Fresh Cream

It Girl (Single)- Jason Derulo
This is one of my favorite songs at the moment. As an artist, Jason Derulo is catching my eye more and more with every song he realeases. He is what I consider a matured Justin Bieber, his songs are really matured but they are still cute songs about that …
Let Love Win by Daniel Kirkley- CD
The first song I heard by Daniel Kirkley was My New Dawn. I heard this awesome song on the radio. This was definitely a cut above the other songs they play on the radio. It was a gorgeous, powerful song. When I heard that song, …
BatMan Forever Soundtrack (CD)
The BatMan Forever Soundtrack has some really great music. The CD has some great artists like Bone Thugs N Harmony, U2 and even Method Man. I think the CD has an overall really good sound to it. One thing I really like about the CD is that it’s must better …
The Offspring Americana Album
The Offspring is an alternative punk rock band and is one of my favorite bands in general. This is also one of my favorite albums from the band as well and it has some of my favorite songs from them. I think this album is pretty solid around.
The first track …

This is such a cool, creative song! I love it, it’s been one of my daily songs… one of those that dont leave your head, kind of your theme song of the day perhaps you would say? Well Mike Posner- I got to hand it to him, his voice …
Aks Album

Type O Negative Bloody Kisses
The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …
Deeper Than The Holler
There is just something about country music and the way it tells a story that does not compare with any other type of music. One of my favorite music artist is Randy Travis. His song “Deeper Than the Holler” is an example of a great country love ballad. It …
The Slip, 2008 Album by NIN
This album is quite a let-down. This album was released by Trent Reznor for free in its digital form. The release was very unconventional in its form. And I think that it was correct that this album was free. The thing is that this album is not very good. …
Album :Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin
i have nothing but the utmost respect for everything that Ozzy Osbourne has done for the world of rock & heavy metal over the years. But being the godfather of metal doesn’t actually mean that you aren’t judged on each individual thing you do.
For example, i think his …
Michelle Williams album ‘Unexpected’
If you haven’t sampled any of Michelle Williams songs from her new album ‘Unexpected’, do so ! She has such a solid, unique voice and I just love her new album. It’s more of a pop, dance type album, and the song ‘The Greatest’ is fantastic. There are great …

Ah Cannibal Corpse, what a lovely band! This song I am about to review is entitled “Stripped, Raped and Strangled”. This song appears off of their album “The Bleeding” and believe it or not is pretty much a single. It happens to be the third song on the album, …
Singer Kid Rock
If you want to talk about a diverse singer, Kid Rock would be the one. He changes sides so often that you almost can’t keep up with him. He goes from songs like “American Badass” to “Picture” without batting an eyelash. Honestly, I don’t even know what genre that …
The Flaming Lips - Can’t Exist (Song)
Can’t Exist is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fourth track to appear on their sophomore release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with some guitar feedback, an acoustic guitar surprisingly enters the mix and leads the song with a distorted guitar behind playing power chords. Coyne comes …
Interpol - Our Love To Admire CD Album
Interpol fans awaited this release with much anticipation. Kings of all things austere, New York based Interpol have previously honed its taut guitar rock into an art form. I fear this album will disappoint eager disciples. This time around they’ve opted to minimize the drum and bass and replace …
See You Again song by Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is a Disney channel teen star and has broken into the music industry as well. I first heard her song “See You Again” on a local radio station here and immediately recognized it was her from the Hannah Montana series!
I actually really like her song and her …

He Wasn’t by Avril Lavinge is a song about how this girl does not like her guy that much any more and decides he is not the kind of guy she is looking for. The guy is hanging her out to dry and that is how lots of guys …
Queen - Under Pressure - Single
There is no doubt that Queen are a band for classics and Under Pressure was another from this category. I suppose when your front man is Freddie, who has an audience in the palm of his hand then you can achieve anything you want.
Funnily enough, Under Pressure, I suppose …
Metallica - Hero Of The Day (Music Video)
Overview —“ Hero Of The Day, the second music video released by Metallica for the album Load, continues in the sort of strange symbolism that the band first introduced with Until It Sleeps. I don’t mean to come off as sounding as if symbolism is bad in music videos, …
Three Libras - A Perfect Circle
Slower music is a divisive topic among my friends and I, as well as many people within the rock community. Personally, I do not mind a slower song from singers or bands typically known for being more hardcore, but there are a lot of people out there who see …
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb 2004 Album by U2
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a very strong album of songs. I feel a little anxious reviewing it because I predict that most potential readers have heard songs off this album, since it is U2 of course, arguably, the most famous currently active band in the world, …
With you by Chris Brown
With you by Chris Brown is a beautiful song about how a guy is really happy about his girl. He describes what she means to him in this song in so many words it’s beautiful. The reason I like this song so much is because of a friend of …
The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting For The Man (Song)
I’m Waiting For The Man is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their first record The Velvet Underground & Nico. The song is one of the more well known songs from The Velvet Underground and with good reason I’d say. The track starts off with a …
The Offspring Splinter
Splinter is the seventh studio album by The Offspring, produced by Brendan O’brien and released in 2003, three years after the bands last album Conspiracy Of One. The album is a welcome step away from the last album, and I am really pleased to see the band’s return to …
Metallica - Rebel Of Babylon (Song)
Rebel Of Babylon is a song by Metallica and is the fourth and final unreleased song from the Death Magnetic sessions recently debuted at the Fillmore in San Francisco, California. Opening up with a clean guitar part that Hetfield sings over, I’m slightly reminded of a modern version of …
The Doors - L’America (Song)
L’America is a song by The Doors which appears on their album L.A. Woman. The track opens up in a very dark fashion with a confusing guitar line playing along for about a minute before other instrumentation comes in to further enforce this dark atmosphere. After about a minute …

Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Music Video)
Overview —“ Down In It, the first single and music video released by Nine Inch Nails for their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine, takes the chaos of the song and matches it with a video. Although this sounds appealing, at least to me, the execution in the music video …
Empire of The Sun - Walking on A Dream
First time I hear ‘Walking On a Dream’ from Empire of The Sun, I really want to listen to this song more and more. First, I don’t know who sing this good song, until i search on Google with some part of lyrics as a keyword and finally I …
Lana Del Rey’s Album Ultraviolence
I have always been a fan of Lana Del Rey. She has an incredibly, one of a kind voice, a sexy and sultry style, and meaningful lyrics. “Ultraviolence” is her third album, and as a fan, I was not disappointed. I have heard all of her previous work so …
The Way You Look Tonight by Rod Stewart
The Way You Look Tonight is a song that Rod Stewart recorded much later in his career when he had a strong foothold on his audience. He became a much more mellow singer as he grew a bit older and the songs that he sings will melt the heart …
Breaking Benjamin-We Are Not Alone CD
I bought this CD when the song “So Cold” was playing on the radio everywhere. I really loved that song with its haunting melodies floating above a hard rock edge. Unfortunately, the rest of the CD fails to live up to the promise of that song. It’s …
