I was very impressed by this album when I heard it. It is a very interesting record indeed. It is very good that the band included so many new songs which have rather different sounds from each other. The previous album, Bloodflowers, released in 2000, was very good. I …

This is The Twelve Days of Christmas with a dark British spin. It starts off with harmless gifts being sent from a female friend to this British comedic genius. First she sends the usual gift of a partridge in a pear tree. Second was two turtle doves who had …

I was hearing this song on the radio for quite some time and of course it was only natural that it was the song on my last-song-syndrome and I had downloaded this on Limewire and was really enjoying this tune. Nelly did another great job singing this music and …

I love this album. I never actually believed I’d like something by Pearl Jam, not because I consider them a weak band, but because their musical style left me cold. Some categorize it as alternative rock, although I’d much rather say that they’re just a good hard rock band …

Overview —“ Wake Me Up When September Ends, the fourth music video released for American Idiot by Green Day makes commentary against the United States going into Iraq. The music video definitely returns to the form of a performance and story music video, this time the story is extremely …

Wish You Were Here, the title track of Pink Floyd’s record Wish You Were Here is an example of one of the best songs I believe that Pink Floyd has written throughout their entire career. Wish You Were Here is driven primarily simply by vocals and an acoustic guitar, …

It’s been a while, but Linkin Park, arguably the most popular rock/rap crossover group is back with a new record. It’s just been released today and I’ve got quite a bit to say about this one so let’s get into it. It seems almost necessary to address the whole …

This is one of my favorite songs and when I hear it now I still sing to it because first, it doesn’t only have a great beat, but second, the meaning of the lyrics of this song is cute yet sincere and sweet at the same time. It is …

You’ll love this song forever! Yes, bad pun. But this song is really cool! The song, a little over 6 minutes, is addicting. Blast in on you iPod, hiss a “yes” when you hear it on the radio, play in at your party. I know I’ve been listening to …

“Eagles Goth” is the 11th track on “Death by Sexy”. “Eagles Goth” is by far the shortest song on the entire album. What it lacks in length however, it makes up for in style.
“Eagles Goth starts off with a off key rockabilly riff. The guitar’s aren’t very impressive, the …

I Want To Be Something is a song by Weezer which appears on their record Hurley. The song starts out pretty quietly and only features Cuomo, singing quite delicately I might add, along with a simple acoustic guitar part. After around thirty seconds, and Cuomo gradually picking up his …

“Thunder” by Boys Like Girls had been a hit maker for a couple of months already. Though I didn’t like the beat so much, it appealed to me through its lyrics and the choice of words they made. My sister was also into this song. However, playing it over …

I just love this cd, this man is sooo talented and i would recommend eveyone to go and get this for your collection!!

True enough, the album featured songs that I can’t really say …
