The Chainsmokers ft. Phoebe Ryan - All We Know (2016 Song)
I just heard The Chainsmokers’ new song and my initial impression was, “WHAT? This is basically a ripoff of their previous song Closer? How could they be so blatant in self-plagiarism?” I immediately hated it because the first thing that came to my mind in why they became such …

Lady Gaga song, “Heavy Metal Lover”
Lady Gaga’s “Heavy Metal Lover,” from her latest album “Born This Way,” deserves a second chance. The first time I heard the song, I was only half-interested in what I was hearing. The first lines—”“I want your whiskey mouth all over my blonde south”—”caught my immediate attention, and I …

Dear Mr. President by Pink
I was very surprised by these lyrics, but I’m glad that Pink was able to convey her feelings to the president like this. She is a strong woman who is not afraid to exercise her rights. It is obvious that she didn’t have nice things to say about the …
Wild Mood Swings, 1996 Album by The Cure

I got the Fender Frontman 10G with a “starter pack” from Guitar Center, which also included a Stratocaster and etc accessories. As suggested, I was pretty new to the guitar and didn’t really need anything massive to practice with. I found no problem entirely using the small 10w amp …
Album :Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin

“Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5
This is trash, pure and simple. If raccoons knock over your garbage can at 3 AM, there will be no way to differentiate between the debris strewn across the street and this filth. From “This Love” on, Maroon 5 have been insufferable, and the easiest solution was to just …
Slayer - Exile (Song)
