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 …

Alvin Row is a song by Animal Collective and the final song on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with a dissonant sound from the start, I must admit that I’m slightly discouraged by this considering the fact that this is the longest song …

Bloom is a song by Radiohead which appears on their most recent record, The King Of Limbs. Opening up with a quick piano line along with a guitar, the drums join the mix and the band establishes a general rhythm with actually quite a lot going on before Thom …

The first time I saw and heard of the artist called Pink was when I was still in my earlier days of high school when she was still a fairly new artiste. Now Pink became popular in an age where the popularity of boy and girl pop bands like …

Overview —“ Jump In The Fire, the fourth track from Kill —˜Em All, is thankfully a much better track than the song to precede it, Motorbreath. If you read my review of Motorbreath then it’s pretty obvious that I really don’t enjoy that song very much at all but …

Birdy was quite the unconventional type of singer these days. She managed to put out a very outstanding debut album full of covers from different (mostly unknown indie) acts and put her own spin to it. It went on to become an acclaimed important record to establish her career, …

If you are unaware of who Eminem is you should know he is a rapper who is signed to Dr. Dre under Aftermath Records. He is famous for hits like �My Name Is�, �Lose Yourself� and �Stan� to name just a few. Well the concept behind �Curtain Call� is …

Although I’m not usually a film music buff, I decided to buy the CD of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” soundtrack for the Bat for Lashes and Florence and the Machine songs. Still, while I was expecting to limit my listening to these two tracks, possibly finding a third or …

Taylor Swift’s CD called Speak Now is of the country genre but is versatile and integrated into the pop genre too. It is available at any store that sells music, but I would recommend going to Target to pick up a Deluxe Edition for $14.99. Taylor Swift is a …

The View is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the second track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with an incredibly simple and pretty boring riff, Reed comes in with the vocal melody of the track which honestly just sounds like a mess to me. …

Aaliyah
“I Care 4 U”
Aaliyah
Blackground/Virgin
Director: LIttle X
I have to ask, why bother? Seriously, this has to be the worst Aaliyah music video ever, ever, ever made. This isn’t Aaliyah’s fault though because she was already dead at the time, it’s director Little X’s fault for not coming up with something …

Surfing on the web I found this blog that has the recording of the first date of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds North American tour of their latest recording ‘Dig!!!, Lazarus, Digg!!!’ The night was September 16, 2008, the venue was the 4th & B, at San Diego, …

Even though the band “The Ramones” became popular in the seventies and I mostly listen to a lot of newer bands, they have always been and still remain one of my faovurite punk rock bands. At first I thought that they were actually an English band since that is …

This is trash, pure and simple. If raccoons knock over your garbage can at 3 AM, there will be no way to differentiate between the debris strewn across the street and this filth. From “This Love” on, Maroon 5 have been insufferable, and the easiest solution was to just …

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 …

It’s All Too Much is a song by The Beatles which appears on their record Yellow Submarine. The track starts off with some guitar distortion, having somewhat of a psychedelic sound, before an organ part also enters in the song which reinforces this psychedelic tone. Once the main rhythm …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …

I just recently bought the 2009 Fender Stratocaster Standard (Made in Mexico) and so far I have few complaints. Fender is known for its quality and this stratocaster is no exception.

This has of course been a popular patriotism subject from many top country and southern …

Celebration Day is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on Led Zeppelin III. I’m not exactly sure what opens up this track, I assume it’s Page’s guitar with some extremely odd effect on it, but whatever it is, it certainly has a unique sound. Plant soon joins in …

I was never really a fan of the singer Billy Joel until only a few years ago. This might have been because a certain radio station personality would play his songs too regularly for me to appreciate them at the time.
Billy Joel is one singer whose history I …

No One Else is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The Blue Album. Opening up with a fast guitar riff, Rivers Cuomo comes in with the vocal melody nearly immediately and I must say that if this is your first time …

Rejoyce is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record After Bathing At Baxter’s. Just as a note, the title of this track is spelled as “rejoyce” rather than “rejoice” to pay homage to writer James Joyce, the author of Ulysses. The song starts off with a …

If you aren’t familiar with “Fun House,” then not only are you missing out on one of the greatest rock albums ever made…but you haven’t even HEARD true rock music, not the way it’s meant to be, at least. This album is everything that’s great about rock: it’s dirty, …

Years ago when I was still just becoming familiar with the hard rock and metal genres of music, a late friend of mine introduced me to a band called “Lacuna Coil”. I’d heard gothic bands before, but their music style was almost completely different from anything I’d heard at the …

I was looking through the billboard charts in hopes of downloading more new songs that can be added to my playlist, and when I downloaded this at Limewire and played it for the first time, I almost hit “stop” and “delete” but when I fast-forwarded it to the middle …

Hip Hop rarely sees a group that totally changes up the game. Usually, Hip Hop groups play the same song and dance that is acceptable because, lets face it, even groups in the underground want recognition, and many Hip Hop purists are afraid of any Hip Hop that strays …

“Black Sails In The Sunset” is one of the premier punk albums of the 90s. Put simply, it is a solid record with no filler, and provides an hour of some of the best and fullest punk of the 1990s. It is certainly AFI’s best record in my opinion. …

When it comes to writing the perfect pop hook in this day and age I really don’t think it gets any better than the outlandish Lady Gaga. Even without the unforgettable video, this song has this perfect ability to straddle bizarre and mainstream so expertly your not sure …

For me, Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD is worth it just for the first track, which is Does He Love You, the duet that became a smash hit with Reba and vocalist Linda Davis. This essentially launched Linda into her own career. It’s one powerful, …

Parabola is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. Just as a note, Parabola follows a track known as Parabol on the album and it’s pretty much meant that you’re supposed to listen to Parabol and then Parabola because it leads right into this track, just …

If barbies could sing and they needed a song just for them the song would have to be Barbie girl by Aqua. This song is all about barbies and I find it funny because it is directed towards little kids but my one friend Always sung it all …

It is ten years ago now since Eminem released his first studio album in the form of The Slim Shady LP. The album was ground breaking in a number of ways, but for me personally it was the first rap album that I ever listened to. Back in 1999 …

A few days ago i got my hands on the Digitech Grunge distortion. At first it seemd like any other gadget on my pedal board but when I pluged in my guitar, with a set of seymore duncan pickups in it, I just heard this wild roar with a …
