Calling you by Blue October is a beautiful song to me because it is talking about a person who is surprised this other person to pick them to go out with them. This song is also wonderful in the way it is talking about a person who is …

Overview —“ Nimrod, Green Day’s fifth album is an album which I personally feel takes them backwards rather than forwards. I’ll say that I thought both Dookie and Insomniac were very good albums with very little filler on them, this album is a bit different. To be fair, there’s …

The liner notes are essentially just the lyrics, but it is pretty thick considering that there are 16 songs on the CD. I do wish they were easier to read. Give me old fashioned LP records when you didn’t need a magnifying glass to read lyrics.

Queen, quite simply a legendary band, with the best entertainer of all time fronting the band. An absolute classic that is always played when a sports team wins a trophy in the U.K, is We Are The Champions.
What I love about this song is the very start. The way …

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. …

Lil Wayne —“ The Dedication 3
Lil Wayne dropped the dedication 3 in 2009, and it was definitely a letdown, coming from a Lil Wayne fan. Lil Wayne performed well on the mixtape but the members from his entourage failed to shine.
Firstly, DJ Drama, the mixtape DJ, talks and yells …

If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …

Honestly, the main reason I purchased the Twilight soundtrack was for Robert Pattinson’s song, “Never Think” and “Bella’s Lullaby” by Carter Burwell. Not only that, but there were a few songs I herd in the movie that I particularly liked. These songs included: “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse, both …

Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic.
