R. Kelly
“Snake”
Chocolate Factory

I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …

This young crooner, Taylor Swift is no ordinary singer. My sister has Fearless by Taylor Swift sitting proudly on her album shelf and she listens to it regularly. At first I thought it is just another Britney wannabe and I thought low of the quality of the songs …

This album is not one of my favorites to be honest, but it’s by no means a bad album, all I am saying is compared to other albums like Americana and Smash, this is a bit lower on my list of The Offspring’s albums. Still it’s an overall solid …

Overview —“ Nimrod, Green Day’s fifth album is an album which I personally feel takes them backwards rather than forwards. I’ll say that I thought both Dookie and Insomniac were very good albums with very little filler on them, this album is a bit different. To be fair, there’s …

Gym Class Heroes are an American band that I didn’t know of till recently. I first heard about them when I heard their first single from a new album on the radio airways, Cupid’s Chokehold.
This song basically starts off with a series of a person singing “ba ba da …

Sara Bareilles is such a lovely lady, and her voice is angelic. There’s something in her cold voice that is so soothing and ethereal. Like every time I listen to her voice, I almost always get shrills and goosebumps because it’s just so beautiful.

“The Day I Tried To Live” is just one of many singles off of Soundgarden’s absolutely amazing 1994 release “Superunknown”. Soundgarden was probably the most interesting group out of the Big 4 back in the day. Where Alice in Chains was known as being the heavier more “metal”, Pearl …

Nicki Minaj’s first release, Pink Friday, is probably the worst music purchase of my life. I bought the album sometime late last year in anticipation of it having “Knockout”, my favorite Nicki Minaj song, on it. You know the drill: I got to the store, couldn’t remember the name …

I was at the local record store, browsing through the Metal section looking for another amazing band to add to my collection. Being a huge fan of bands that push the envelope and cross genres and try all together new things, I focused on Meshuggah. Literally everyone I have …

Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …

Don’t take Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D too seriously. If not, you will not like the music at all. Instead, if you just listen for pleasure, doing some things while listening and putting on this CD music while the guests are in your home for a birthday party …

This is not the best album by the band. This is not even one of their best albums. But at the same time this album is still very good. And it has some features which are truly unique, interesting, and original. This album is kind of experimental even for …

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 …
