Animal Collective - Hey Light (Song)
Hey Light is a song by Animal Collective and the second to appear on their fourth record, Here Comes The Indian. Continuing in a similar way to the previous track on the record, Hey Light opens up with a somewhat chaotic sounding introduction, but thankfully the band doesn’t go …
Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See: Album
The UK’s favourite Indie rockers returned this summer with their fourth studio album, entitled Suck It and See.
Despite critics and fans alike not being too impressed with their last record, Humbug, the boys from Yorkshire have returned with, what I feel, is a very impressive album.
Although I was …
Animal Collective - Bleed (Song)
Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …
Cosmonaut - At the Drive In
There was a time in the late nineties when indie prog music was making a sizable surge in popularity. With this surge in popularity came a huge surge in the quality of the music, as more and more bands were being noticed for their indie prog sound. It was …
Bob Dylan - Talkin’ New York (Song)
Talkin’ New York is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. Something I should point out is that this is the first Dylan composition ever released on any of his records and along with one other original on this record, this is the only …
Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …
Attak 2002 Album by KMFDM
Attak is a great piece of music. If you haven’t yet heard about this album, and about the band KMFDM, it is quite possible that not many roads will lead you to this piece of music, but that would be a real loss for any music lover, and I …
Animal Collective - Danse Manatee (Album)
Danse Manatee is the second record released by Animal Collective. Following Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished, the best way I can summarize this album is that it actually seems to be a decline and a step down in songwriting unfortunately. Though Danse Manatee does certainly have its moments …
Megadeth Countdown To Extinction
Countdown To Extinction is Megadeth’s fifth album, produced by Max Norman alongside Dave Mustaine and released in 1992. The album is the band’s most mainstream and commercially acceptable albums, with many well known singles, the album is the bands most successful. This album is another one of my favorites …
Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta (song)
Atlanta is the closing track on Stone Temple Pilots album No. 4. I find this song to be comfortably soothing, and a suitable song to close an excellent album with. The song starts off very simple but becomes more and more layered as it progresses on.
“Atlanta” is a slower …

Midian is the fourth album by Cradle Of Filth, released on Koch Records on Halloween of 2000, produced by John Fryer. This is one of Cradle Of Filth’s heaviest albums, the album is sort of a concept album, drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft, and the Clive Barker Novel Cabal. …
My Love Essential Collection by Celine Dion

Glen Campbell: Glen Campbell Live CD
Glen Campbell: Glen Campbell Live was recorded at the Goodtime Theater in August 1994. I love live albums that let you have a feel for the audience and how the performer responds to it. I have a similar album back in the middle of Campbell’s heyday and …
Trinidad James - All Gold Everything
I had never heard about Trinidad James and randomly came across his ‘All Gold Everything’ music video on YouTube.
Since I had no clue about him and his music I watched the video till the end and I was wondering what just happened?? The visuals were so distracting that the …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side II)
Overview - Side II of The Wall by Pink Floyd is a huge improvement after side I, which wasn’t terrible but at the same time it didn’t really make me too eager to hear the rest of the album. Side II just had better songwriting overall, and although there …
Enslaved (Band)
I can’t say that I’m very keen on listening to most black metal music, as the sound and sometimes the lyrics just does not appeal to me. However, when I discovered the black metal band Enslaved some years ago when listening to an online metal radio station, I became …
Marshall Mathers LP 2 album by Eminem
I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …

Winner (song) by Jamie Foxx featuring Justin Timberlake and T.I.
I was searching for a positive affirmation quotes on the net when I bump on this lyrics. Then I remember from reading the lyrics that I have heard this song playing as the background song for NBA Playoffs. In addition, I was right; it is the official song for …
James Bond Theme by Richard Fortus
If you have ever seen the new line up of Guns N’ Roses, you may know a guitarist by the name of Richard Fortus. I recently saw the band live and they sounded amazing. Axl Rose was late as usual, but it was amazing to see them and …

Metallica - The Four Horsemen (Song)
Overview —“ The Four Horsemen, the second track off of Metallica’s debut record Kill —˜Em All, is actually a song which is written from a much more complex standpoint than the opening track, Hit The Lights, at least in my opinion. I generally don’t associate Kill —˜Em All with …
Oasis: Don’t Believe the Truth

Coldplay: Viva La Vida CD
I, like others I’m sure, mostly bought this CD for its title track, “Viva La Vida”, which remains the strongest song on the album. However, that being said, Coldplay has put together a collection of some rather meaningful and haunting songs, separating this album from their previous releases.
The first …
So Simple by Stacie Orrico
So Simple by Stacie Orrico is a very nice catchy song and I love listening to this particular track each time. The song is actually about renewed freedom and having a new elixir to life. I love the song, including the video clip as well, and if you …
She’s like the wind by Lumidee
She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …

Kyuss - Beginning of what’s about to happen HWY 74 (song)
“Beginning of what’s about to happen HWY 74″ is the opening track on the debut album “Wretch” by the band Kyuss. This is very well my favorite song on “Wretch”. This song being that it is off their first album, features all the original members of the band. That …
Bon Jovi - Always - Single
Jon Bon Jovi is not everyones cup of tea, but I think he has released some absolute classics and this was one that lived with me for a long time and still probably does.
In Always, I have no idea if he is singing about an actual experience of his …
Motley Crue : Red, White and Crue
Before the album was released, a few years ago, Motley Crue fans have so long waited for this group to return to the reunion. I am sure, this group would know what the fans wanted. Therefore, Motley Crue have returned with the album Red, White & Crue. This album …
One Of The Boys by Katy Perry
Another great and talented singer would be Katy Perry and in One Of The Boys by Katy Perry; the title of her album, I can’t help but to compare her voice to Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. But she has her own identity voice and not quite Gwen. …
Green Day - When I Come Around (Music Video)
Overview —“ When I Come Around, the second music video released by Green Day also comes off of their third album Dookie. The song itself isn’t too bad, it’s not really one of my favorites off of Dookie but I do think it’s a good song, but I’ll admit …
Cannibal Corpse - Vomit The Soul (song)
“Vomit The Soul” is the 5th song off of Cannibal Corpse infamous album “Butchered at Birth”. This is classic death metal at it’s best. The album in general is genre defining, considering their albums released before this point of time had more thrash metal roots, I think with Butchered …
50 curtis album

Motorhead - Bomber
Overview —“ Bomber, Motorhead’s fourth album is an album that I feel is often overlooked due to both the record which followed it and the record it precedes. A lot of times when Motorhead is mentioned the albums to really get mentioned are Overkill and The Ace Of Spades, …
Concrete Angel by Martina McBride
I’ve always love Martina McBride. Her songs always touches me and I can always feel the emotions of the song. I remember how her songs really makes me feel pain and happiness. Even if I’m not inlove, but I always felt inlove when listening to her love songs.
But the …
The Divine Comedy : Bang Goes the Knighthood

Below is half of the track list …
Mariah Carey CD
I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …

Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin
One of Led Zeppelin’s semi know song is the track Heatrbreaker off their second album, Led Zeppelin 2. I like this song because it has that signature riff throughout the sing that is played in octaves. It really has that late 60’s tone to it and Robert Plant’s vocals …
Quarantines - At The Drive-in
There are few progressive bands that have had as much influence on modern indie/progressive music as At The Drive-in. With a large library of amazing songs, it is hard for any of them to stand out above the others, not because some of them are so bad, but because …
Aaliyah - Aaliyah Album
The self titled album named Aaliyah by Aaliyah was released to the public in July of 2001. Much anticipated, it came out and it didn’t disappoint me in the least. Today, you can still hear her wonderful music still being aired on the airwaves all over the world. Listed …
