Album :Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin
i have nothing but the utmost respect for everything that Ozzy Osbourne has done for the world of rock & heavy metal over the years. But being the godfather of metal doesn’t actually mean that you aren’t judged on each individual thing you do.

The Stooges album “The Weirdness” (2006)

Nic Chagall Feat. Jonathan Mendelson - This Moment
On my wedding day I was really concerned about the type of music to play. I chose one particular song for my Audio Visual Presentation, and this song was entitled “This Moment” by Nic Chagall and Jonathan Mendelson.

In a Hole again-Tesla
Off the Forever More album by tesla is the song In A Hole Again. this song starts off with clean guitar arpeggiated riff and then it goes into bass by Brian Wheat. I think the bass is a little too loud but the song really starts to pick up …
Animal Collective - Alvin Row (Song)

“How Do Like Me Now” by Toby Keith. A Music Album
To be completely and totally honest I am not a huge, die-hard country fan. I am the type of person who likes a mixture of music. That being said several years ago I was in walmart when I saw Toby Keith’s album “How DoYou Like Me Now”. If memory …
Green Day - Homecoming (Song)
Homecoming, the second musical epic of this album along with Jesus Of Suburbia, is honestly just as good as Jesus Of Suburbia in my opinion. I praise both of these tracks heavily, not so much because the parts themselves are brilliant but because the whole song is very well …
Yamaha DJX keyboard
This keyboard was produced in 1998, and was one of Yamaha’s first keyboards to focus explicitly on re-creating DJ, club, dance, and hip hop sounds. As you scroll through the many pre-programmed beats in the machine, you’ll hear samples of “Lady” (D’Angelo), “Rapper’s Delight”, and even a …
“On the Edge” song by Lady Gaga

Mule Variations (Tom Waits Album)
“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, …
Surfin in the USSR
Ray Stevens does this hilarious song called “Surfin USSR.” It is a song that makes fun of the Russians which have been notorious for being the worst enemy of the United States of America during the cold war era. It features Ronald Regan as the President of the …
David Cook
I have mixed feelings about David Cook’s new single. It’s a good single but it sounds like all the other rock-y tunes out there on the main stream. I’m getting kind of tired of the sound. He’s so talented. I know that is his genre of music but I …
Album : Hibria - Blind Ride (2011)
Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …

It’s Time For A Love Revolution (Lenny Kravitz)
This is a good new cd. It is Lenny Kravitz’s newest cd. Compared to Lenny Kravitz’s other cd’s, such as Baptism, and the Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits, this is nothing. With his other cd’s compared to other cd’s he has to many slow songs. By slow, I mean a …
Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show
I watched Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show before and I must say that I was totally bemused and impressed. I think the lead singer, Nicole sang like a karaoke version of something. She can really stretch her vocal chords and it was so fun …

Soldier Side Intro is the opening track of System Of A Down’s album Mezmerize, the first half of their double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Just as some background information, Mezmerize starts off with the track Soldier Side Intro while Hypnotize ends with the track Soldier Side so this is one of …

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their record A Saucerful Of Secrets. The track opens up with a light guitar riff in the right channel which begins by playing an eerie riff as additional instrumentation gradually begins …
+44 When Your Heart Stops Beating
When Blink 182 had their fallout and Tom Delonge went his way, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus went their way, and formed this band with a friend. When Your Heart Stops Beating is an impressive album, after the failure of Blink 182’s last album I thought they had …

BSB’s album “Never Gone” was released in the June of last year. Before I could put my hands on one, the stock was finished! I hadn’t realised that BSB were still in so much demand! Well, the album is so cool, I haven?t yet stopped listening to it! The …

Below is half of the track list …
Sublime - Rivers Of Babylon (Song)
Rivers Of Babylon is a song by Sublime and the penultimate track on their album 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern, I get the impression that Rivers Of Babylon is basically like a more enjoyable version of the previous track, Krs-One. Like the preceding …
All That I Can Say (song, Mary J. Blige)
The 1999 release of Mary J. Blige’s album featured a wonderful opening song called “All That I Can Say.” I really love this little ditty. It’s a wonderful piece of instrumentation. And Mary really gets behind the music with her voice. The tempo is …
