I came across this song on MySpace and was quite drawn to the singer. She has a tone that kind of reminded me of Amy Winehouse, but without all the gravel in her voice. The song’s lyrics kind of confused me at first. But then …

Time Passes Slowly is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album New Morning. This track opens up with a piano which gradually builds up and somewhat reminded me of jazz if it would’ve continued, but unfortunately it doesn’t go on for too long. Dylan comes in …

I was browsing through some of my old CDs, and I came across The Purple Tape by Lisa Loeb. It’s been awhile since I listened to it, so I put it on to listen. I remember Lisa Loeb, with her specky image, and a sort of like a …

Hinnom, TX is a snog by Bon Iver which appears on their self-titled second album. The track opens up with a sound which I can only describe as being very airy and light. Once a listener hears the intro, it honestly sounds as if they’re listening to a song …

Overview —“ Side I of Tommy, The Who’s rock opera, is a track which starts out with probably one of their best songs up to this point but unfortunately goes downhill from there. After listening to Overture, I truly was in awe and I expected a really well written …

The Fool is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the fifth song on their album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Something I should mention about this track immediately, as a fair warning, is that this is the first instrumental on this record. I say as a …

When I heard this song playing in the movie, I had even loved the movie even more, this song had been the monument and foundation in which they had fallen in love and the lyrics and the song itself is incredible. It’s more of a classical and musical orchestrated …

David Bowie is the very definition of LEGEND in the music industry. I have been a fan of David’s for many years, and I actually heard about him from his films, not from his music. The specific film being Labyrinth, in which he was one of the main characters, …

The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

Desolation Row, the final song to appear on Bob Dylan’s record Highway 61 Revisited is a track which I consider to be a perfect ending for one of the greatest records that I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to. As if you thought some of the other tracks …

This is probably one of the most heartbreaking, tear-wrenching songs I have ever heard. It is based on a true story, and one of Tay’s rare songs that doesn’t sing about boys and one-sided love. It tells of a young mother’s groundbreaking sorrow of losing her beloved youngest son …

Overview —“ Bonded By Blood, the debut album released by Exodus definitely established them as a thrash band to watch over. I think the only reason why this album didn’t receive a lot more attention, although it did still receive a lot, is because it was released in 1985 …

One Of My Lies is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. The track starts out with a pretty raw sounding three-chord guitar riff before the bass and drums join in. Something I like about the sound thus far is that the production really isn’t …

This is a good new cd. It is Lenny Kravitz’s newest cd. Compared to Lenny Kravitz’s other cd’s, such as Baptism, and the Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits, this is nothing. With his other cd’s compared to other cd’s he has to many slow songs. By slow, I mean a …

One of my all time favourite albums. The debut album by the jesus and mary chain. This album is a masterpiece, beautifully crafted pop songs covered in feedback and hidden behine a couple of walls of white noise. There isn’t another album like this, its filled …

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Blonde On Blonde. The track starts off with a moderately paced drum rhythm before leading into a section which features a brass band, an interesting yet somewhat strange use of outside instrumentation …

Well, I think that this album is good, but not as good as other BRMC albums, like their first record, “Take Them On, On Your Own”, and, of course, “Howl”, the latter, from my point of view, being their very best album.
To appreciate and assess this album (Baby 81), …

She’s Leaving Home is a track which appears on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. Although the track is credited to Lennon/McCartney, for some reason I feel like McCartney had more influence in the songwriting of this track and I have to say that I’m extremely …

Overview - Let It Be, the final studio album of The Beatles, is made up more of melodic tracks rather than just traditional rock songs, although there are still some of those on here, mixed with some great songwriting and excellent vocal delivery. For me, there aren’t too many …

I always love Christina Aguilera whatever her songs. It’s always good to sing by her. Like this song, hurt. This song is slow and so melodic. In this song, Christina didn’t dance or use her powerful voice to make an energetic song because it can saiy that ‘hurt’ is …

I can’t break free of this song. It’s not so much stuck in my head as I am just strangely addicted to it. It’s incredibly catchy. I don’t know what the draw is because at face value it’s a techno song that sounds a little like …

March Of The Meanies is an instrumental track which appears on The Beatles’ record, Yellow Submarine. Let me first start by saying that I really didn’t like many of the instrumental tracks on Yellow Submarine with the rare of exception of one or two, March Of The Meanies being …

Jordin Sparks is such an awesome person. Not only is she young, but she is also talented and I think for someone with a nice image as her, she has a nice big voice to boot too. However, the songs inside are quite on average. I think …

James Ingram is one of a few male singers I admire. Everytime I hear any of his singles, it gives me the impression that he can sing any song no matter how difficult or challenging the notes could be. And his performance pays off the program that …

“Like Only a Woman Can” is a song by Brian McFadden, released in 2007. It is one of the singles of the album “Set in Stone”. I’ve been a big Westlife fan since I was still in grade two. I was so frustrated upon the band’s breaking. However, I’m …

Green Finch and Linnet bird is a wonderful song from the musical Sweeney Todd. It also is on the soundtrack of the movie Sweeney Todd. The song is operatic, and has sweeping notes and vocals as the singer —˜s voice climbs up and down the musical scale. …

One could find many reasons to criticize this album, probably, but I personally do like it though. I first got acquainted with KMFDM by their post-millennial albums, and then I got to listen to this, which could be considered its first true complete album, even though there were two …

Metallica’s debut 1983 album Kill Em All was going to be titled “Metal up your ass” but the record company made them change it before it’s release. This could be Metallica’s most impressive album, technically. The parts are faster then most anything by Metallica, the solos are huge, and …

In truth, I’m not sure why I purchased Victoria Shaw: Old Friends, New Memories. I know she did a duet with Ty Herndon, who is one of my very favorite singers, and I might have been hoping to find him on this CD (he’s not). It’s possible …
