Music Reviews
“Thank Me Later” by Drake
I have recently become more of a fan of rap and hip hop music than I used to be when I first became obsessed with music. I have really begun to appreciate what a lot of rap artists are doing with their music these days because it sounds a …
The Rolling Stones - Casino Boogie (Song)

Pantera Album: Cowboys from Hell

Julia is the final track which appears on the first disk of The Beatles’ White Album. An interesting fact about Julia is that this is the only Beatles track throughout their entire catalogue where Lennon plays on the track, and Lennon alone. No other Beatle is heard on this …
Led Zeppelin - The Wanton Song (Song)
The Wanton Song is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which somewhat reminds me of The Immigrant Song, an earlier song done by Zeppelin. The point I’m making is that the riff …

Linkin Park- A Thousand Suns
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 …
MGMT - 4th Dimensional Transition (Song)
4th Dimensional Transition is a track which appears on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular.

“I Gave You Power” is the 4th track off of Nas 1996 album “It Was Written”. Although this song isn’t technically a single, it is one of the more well known tracks off of “It Was Written”. This is one of the best songs to exemplify just how well …
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne is one of the most popular rappers out on the markets right now, but is he really that good? I will admit that some of his songs have a good beat, and sound pretty good, but the majority of them are absolutely horrendous. He has turned from …

Winner at a Losing Game

M People (music group)
One of my guilty pleasures is listening to dance music rave, euro-dance and euro-pop from the nineteen nineties. I guess it’s a little strange judging from my personality and my other likes and dislikes, but I believe it stems from me hearing it so much, and liking the dance …
Muse - Hysteria (Song)

The Clash Sandinista!
The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …
Inner City Blues (song, Marvin Gaye)

Good News for People Who Love Bad News, 2004 Album by Modest Mouse
This album is a fantastic work of musical art. There are some moments that clearly have weak spots. Some songs should have been on the album from my point of view because they are not consistent and high quality enough, but the main course, the central piece of the …
Green Day “21st Century Breakdown”
I became a Green Day fan as soon as I heard one or two singles from their 2004 hit album “American Idiot.” I liked the anger and almost rage they expressed, and the hard-rocking style was something that impressed me when many other groups began putting out more —˜gentle’ …

Primer 55-New Release CD
Primer 55 isn’t a very well-known band, although I believe they had a song on a popular soundtrack, perhaps the Resident Evil movie? But this CD is quite a solid effort, maybe even great if you’re into the kind of hardcore tinged with funk sound they bring. …

The Beatles - The White Album (Side IV)
