Justin Bieber - Love Yourself (Song)
Justin Bieber’s re-invention proved to be really a success. Ever since he dropped his big ego and spoiled-boy personality, hype built up around him until it was big enough for people to check out his music again.
For all we know, only teens were here for him before his comeback …

Christian’s Inferno is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. Christian’s Inferno certainly has a unique sound to it and it’s significantly different than the other track thus far on the record. For one thing, Christian’s Inferno starts off with this very dark …

Men Without Hats (music group)
As I mentioned in a couple other reviews, I like dance and electronic music. However, at one point in my life, I had a love for eighties dance and new wave music. Now most of what I would hear would be from listening to songs being played on the …
Ke$ha: Take it off song
Take it off: this is one of my favorite songs off of Kesha’s debut
album, animal. When I first listened to the song, i didn’t like it because the beat of the song is electric sounding. It reminds you of some of the Veronica songs but after awhile I got …
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (Album)
Oracular Spectacular is the second album released by MGMT following their debut, Climbing To New Lows. Now, many people will know about this album due to some wonderful singles released such as Time To Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids, but what I want to stress in this review is …
Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off
Overview - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, the debut album by Jefferson Airplane, is an album that really isn’t all that similar to their later work, although this does happen quite a bit with debut albums. If you’re associating Jefferson Airplane with psychedelic rock, which isn’t a problem, then this …

Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern along with some rhythm instrumentation, the track interestingly enough sounds as if there’s a Spanish guitar style present which isn’t typically a …
Defiance by James Newton Howard - Soundtrack
The right kind of music soundtrack is crucial for a particular type of movie and for that, Defiance by James Newton Howard works for me. I listened to the songs inside and I certainly think it matched the concept of the movie, Defiance. On some circumstances, even if …
Fender Frontman 25R Practice Amp Guitar
I recently purchased a new Fender Frontman 25R Practice amp for a room that I have set up, and I have to say that for a small, inexpensive amp, it does very well. I was able to play at fairly high levels, without hearing …

Weezer - Mykel And Carli (Song)
Mykel and Carli is a song by Weezer which strays away from their typical power-pop sound and strikes me as being a bit more developed. Opening up in a very acoustic fashion with just an acoustic guitar and a simple harmonica pattern, the rest of the band soon comes …
Something Else by Good Charlotte
Something Else by Good Charlotte is a song that I like in some ways because it is about how every one wants something else no matter what they might have. It also is talking about how you can be any thing you want to be no matter what your …

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
Overview - The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barret’s first solo record after departing Pink Floyd, is an album that sounds absolutely nothing like the work Barrett did with Pink Floyd, it’s surprising that it’s even the same man to be honest. Not only is Barrett’s songwriting a lot simpler and …
Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses
One of those songs that stick in everybodys head and is a sure rock anthem of the decade is the song Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses. It’s an epic song that has a chorus effect intro played by slash and it really drives well into an intro solo …
Curtain Call by Eminem
Eminem’s final album, “Curtain Call” was a bit disappointing. It was short and it didn’t have many new songs on it. Some of the new songs are cool and have good beats, like “Shake That” featuring Nate Dogg.
Another new song is F.A.C.K is fairly entertaining, but also kind of …
Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD
First of all, there is a very nice CD-rom portion of Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD that includes a video of Brad talking about the songs on the album, his start, and more. It’s really interesting to watch. It held my interest. The pictures and …
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” is one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the 1990s. There is a certain rawness to the whole affair — dissonance, and fuzzy production values give this album a homemade feel. The lyrics have a distinctly post-modern, sometimes dark tone to them, while others …

Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde (Music Video)
Overview —“ Just to make things clear right now, I’m reviewing the song and music video A Tout Le Monde from Youthanasia, not from United Abominations. So this is also the version to feature Mustaine singing by himself and not accompanied with Cristina Scabbia. I’ll admit that I’m more …
Scars On Broadway - Exploding/Reloading (Song)

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …

The Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah
Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …

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 …

Laundry Service Album by Shakira
Shakira is one of those artists who has been extremely successful yet somehow manages to fly under the radar until she has huge hits like “She Wolf” or “Beautiful Liar”. She has always been one of my favorite female recording artists because she is an amazing vocalist as well …

ROCK AND ROLL OVER

Metallica - The Shortest Straw (Song)
The Shortest Straw, the fifth track on And Justice For All is one of the tracks which I would personally chose to be a representation for this record. If I were to asked to select a few songs off of And Justice For All which I felt did a …
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) …
