I was 16 (now I’m 21) when I started listening to The Cranberries. They were the ones who made me like music in general, and they’re the ones I’ll probably always hold in my heart. And that is why I’m really biased when it comes to this particular band, …

The Best Of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special! Original TV Soundtrack

Album : Heonia - winsome Scar (2011)
What is it with female vocalists thinking that they have to sing every word in the highest possible register? This fact has annoyed me for a long time now and really causes me a lot of frustration when i find symphonic and melodic metal bands that would otherwise be …
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 …

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush (song)
“Plush” is to date The Stone Temple Pilots biggest hit. Although it appears as the second single released from their 1992 debut album “Core”, it happens to be the bands most notable song. That’s saying a lot considering the bands decently long career and all the heckling and criticism …
