I don’t know about other people. And I don’t know whether they see the same things as I do. But have you seen other musical talented people in the musical world, that have grown so much in performace, in atttitude, in passion as Beyonce? I mean surely there is …

Science is a song which is by System Of A Down and appears on their second record, Toxicity. The track opens up with sort of a galloping guitar riff which plays on natural harmonics and leads into the heavy main rhythm of the track which has an excellent groove …

H.I.M (His Infernal Majesty)
This band is one that has been around for a while, and has a good number of albums under their belt. HIM stands for His Infernal Majesty. Sound kind of dark? Well they are, in a way. Their lyrics are, essnetially, love lyrics …

I am a true fan of music, and able to listen to just about any genre without feeling as though I need to switch to something else. I must admit, though, I have never really been a fan of anthem rock, as I usually find it either completely boring …

Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble is awesome. I have a copy of this and I think that it’s such a good buy. Michael Buble as we all know, have this oldies type of voice and especially gentle and soothing to the ears. It’s like hearing the …

I thought The Bird and the Bee managed to make a great sequel to their first album! Inara’s voice is absolutely beautiful and subtle. There is a great variation of sounds, and yet you can always tell that each is a Bird and Bee creation. Many of the songs …

Of Moons, Birds, And Monsters is a song by MGMT which appears on their second album, Oracular Spectacular. The track gradually builds before VanWyngarden immediately comes in with the vocals and a bouncing rhythm behind him to back him up. I will say that right form the start, the …

Grand Theft Autumn/ Where is your boy by Fall out boy is a song that is a little bit out there. It talks about how this guy does not want her boyfriend to find out what he knows because she was the last good thing. To me that …

The Corrs is an Irish band and they have sold millions of copies of their albums worldwide. I can even recall that was in third year high school in the late 90’s and I heard their song “I Never Loved You Anyway”. This song made me love this band. …

When we think about Elliot Smith, several things may come to mind. We might be reminded of beauty, harmony, tragedy, love, and the mysteries behind our emotions. Elliot, before his tragic passing (suicide), released many impressive albums, with countless hits and demonstrations of incredible talent.
One of my particular favorites …

The Luniz album Operation Stackola is probably one of the best bay area albums to ever come out. This album is great and it is the album that has the hit song I Got 5 on It. This song was big on the radio and everywhere that people heard it. …

There is something really special about this album. There are many people out there who do not appreciate Limp Bizkit that much. But I am guessing that those people will find less of the stuff they could object to on this record. For me personally, this album is probably …

Take A Bow is a track by Muse which is the opening track of Black Holes And Revelations. I just finished reviewing Starlight which is another track on this record and said that it’s an enjoyable song but not really one to be listening to if you wanted to …

IF Z-Man is part of the Hieroglyphics extended family, then he is one the outer, outer branches of the family tree. He actually is part of the Hiero crew, but not an immediate member, but signed to their label, Hiero Imperium. Z-Man’s lyrics are in a league of …

Sting is a very famous singer in the world. But in China, most of people don’t know him well or even don’t hear his name. As a Chinese, I heart his name from the film ‘Leon-The Professional’. Sting sang the theme song ’shape of my heart’ about it. I …

I am not a hug fan of the Pussycat Dolls, but I really like this song. And I think that what they are singing about in this song happens to a lot of couples at some point in their relationships. But sometimes, it gets a little out of hand …

The Lantern is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request. I’ll say right now that The Lantern has an extremely odd structure which makes describing this song somewhat difficult because the track is extremely unpredictable and is constant changing in ways …

After Soundgarden broke up, lead singer Chris Cornell got to work on his solo music. Releasing his debut solo album, Euphoria Morning in the 90s, this remarkable album features some tracks that display Cornell’s talent as a song writer, as well as a vocalist.
My favorite song on the album …

Chemical Warfare is a song by Slayer which appears on their EP Haunting The Chapel. The track starts off with a very fast chugging riff from the two guitars before Lombardo and Araya come in with the drum and bass parts respectively. Something that I always remembered about Chemical …

Let me first preface this by saying that Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” is my favorite music video of all time. Regina Spektor is one of the most adorable recording artists of this generation. She has a voice like no other. In my opinion, she is one of the most talented …

Stand up for love is an inspirational song coming from Destiny’s Child. I feel goose bumps every time it is playing. The message of this song is truly for the victims of Hurricane Katrina although it was written even before the hurricane happens. It makes my heart soft and …

Losfer Words (Big —˜Orra) is an instrumental by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Powerslave. I can’t speak with absolute certainty but I believe this is one of the very few Iron Maiden instrumentals, the only other one to come to mind right now is Transylvania and I …

I still have a special love for rock music, but to be honest, there are very few bands that I can honestly say that I am and have ever been a devout fan of. As a teenager I was generally a fan of the music and the way it …

Jonny Horton sings the song North To Alaska. I like this song because it talks about something I have always wanted to do. I have thought about moving to Alaska for about twenty years now. I even went so far as to find land for sale in Alaska. I …

I am hooked on Katy Perry’s repertoire these days. What got me started was her hit single, California Girls. At that time, about a month ago, I had no idea if this girl had much wider capability. As I heard her other songs however, I began …

Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …

This little beauty can be your resident musician’s best friend. My husband purchased this for himself recently when he bought a new guitar. At the cost of $185.00 USD, it was still more inexpensive than other ones of the same type.
This pedal does it all! You will have to …

After aimlessly traipsing through the back of muddy woodland Stanley Park for just under two hours one would surmise that standing in the rain another few hours listening to a band whose album 100th Window mostly contained minimal loops and a dark delve into classical music, would be torturous. …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

How you remind me by Nickelback is a song I like a lot because the words stand out to me when ever I listen to it. It’s like I can relate to what the singer is trying to say in his song. My friend on the other hand told …

The Way You Look Tonight is a song that Rod Stewart recorded much later in his career when he had a strong foothold on his audience. He became a much more mellow singer as he grew a bit older and the songs that he sings will melt the heart …

Overview - The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barret’s first solo record after departing Pink Floyd, is an album that sounds absolutely nothing like the work Barrett did with Pink Floyd, it’s surprising that it’s even the same man to be honest. Not only is Barrett’s songwriting a lot simpler and …

Pillow Music - Natural Deep Sleep by David & Steve Gordon is something that I find to be very valuable. The reason I find this audio CD to be quite valuable is because it helps me to sleep on nights that I simply cannot turn off my mind. If …

The New York Dolls have always been seen as a band with their own agenda and have never been known to bow down to expectations and trends. For a long time they were considered disbanded and i never thought i would bear witness to an all-new album from them. …

When The Earth Moves Again is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Bark. The track opens up with a mix of violin, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and drums so as you can imagine, right from the start of this track the song has …

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. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

R. Kelly

It’s the sequel to “Fiesta”, it’s another “Four Page Letter” from Aaliyah, no wait, it’s “Slow Wind”! The third single and music video from R. Kelly’s solo album TP3 Reloaded, following “Trapped in the Closet” and “Playas Only”. It looks almost like a watered down …

(Music From) The Elder
This LP would be notable for three things:
1.) It was KISS’ return to the realm of a concept album
2.) It would be Ace’s last album with the band for 16 years as he quit/was fired soon after.
3.) The album bombed so bad it was KISS’ worst …

Lucky Ali is one of the good soulful composer than we have in Indipop world. His debut album Sunoh (which means ‘listen’) is a nice collection of melodic songs. There are songs on different subjects, and all of them have been blended beautifully by soulful melodic music. Ali has …

This is actually the first time I’ll be reviewing a “rap” song. So I decided I’d go a rather different these days because I need to expand my music horizon. Every day I have been doing the same routine, listening to Alternative, Indie, Dark-Pop, Heavy-Beat, Contry and EDM music, …
