Nine Inch Nails - Please (Song)
Please is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track starts off with a heavy industrial sound and the synthesizers actually have a pretty interesting sound throughout this section in my opinion. Reznor comes in with the first verse pretty quickly as …

Panopticon black-metal band - Roads to the North album
Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. In the album Roads to the North, Panopticon not only brings in your typical instruments (guitars, drums and vocals) that you find in a rock/metal …
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …
The Flaming Lips - The Ceiling Is Bendin’ (Song)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Ain’t No Telling (Song)

Skull and Bones, 2000 Album by Cypress Hill
Skull and Bones is a remarkable record in that on this album Cypress Hill tried something they had never tried before, and yet there is such a strong sense that they know perfectly well what exactly they are doing, as if they had been doing it for years before.
This …
Laskar Pelangi Nidji
There is no doubt that Nidji is one of the most Famous bands in Indonesia and I believe, regarding that, Mira Lesmana (Producer of Laskar Pelangi) chose them to contribute one song for Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Army), a movie based on best-seller book by Andrea Hirata about teachers who …
Song: Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by singer Toby Keith

If you’re looking for that Les Paul sound with not a lot of money but enough to get something like the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra, it is well worth the money. This guitar plays like a champ with its bright tone from the Classic plus pickups that sound great …
Bossa Nova Stories by Eliane Elias
I don’t know how to say this, but I’m so in love with jazz music lately. Especially after I’ve listened to Bossa Nova Stories by Eliane Elias. I do not realize that Jazz music, or rather Bossa Nova could be really attractive and seductive. It makes me …

Scars On Broadway - Kill Each Other/Live Forever (Song)
Kill Each Other/Live Forever is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut self-titled record. I’ll say right now that this track is extremely repetitive and there isn’t a lot of diversity in the song, but I’ll also say that Daron Malakian gives once of his …

Its Blitz 2009 Album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing
The Best Damn Thing? Does this album really live up to that ambitious title? Well, in a word, no. Not in my opinion. But that’s a bit unfair of me because of several things. I’m not an Avril fan to be honest, I can’t seem to get along with …
“Meantime” by Helmet (LP, 1992)
In 1990, Helmet released their debut “Strap It On”, which packed one of the hardest punches of the early 90s. Two years later, they released their follow-up, “Meantime”, which was just as insanely brutal. In an era of some of the greatest rock n roll in history, Helmet came …
Maxwell Unplugged CD
I just love this cd, this man is sooo talented and i would recommend eveyone to go and get this for your collection!!

For Love Of Innocence
Who could have blamed those who denied hope of any future for Nightwish? With Opera metal hidden so deeply in the Finnish shadows, surely anybody would feel threatened by a band with power metal guitar chords, techno inspired keyboard tunes and a lead singer trained in the style of …
Dreams from The Corrs
Dreams from The Corrs is awesome. The Corrs is at their most peak/popular during the late 1999s or early 2000s, I’m not so sure. In between those times, I was so heavily into buying their CD singles and albums.
Their songs are very Irish-influenced since they hail …

Pink Floyd - Marooned (Song)
Marooned is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album The Division Bell. The first thing I should mention about this song is that it is an instrumental where David Gilmour pretty much leads the tracks, so if you’re not one for guitar solos then this probably …
Bob Dylan - Seeing The Real You At Last (Song)
Seeing The Real You At Last is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Empire Burlesque. The track opens up with a bit played primarily by horns and outside instrumentation which I really don’t associate with Bob Dylan and that I personally don’t really like hearing …

California Love
I never got into Tupac. I actually find him to be pretty overrated and I was more of a Biggie fan myself. I haven’t heard much of his stuff, but overall it failed to impress me.
The exception to that rule is a track called “California …
