“Just a Man” is a song by Faith No More. This appears as the 14th track on Faith No More’s album “King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime”. I find this song to be truly fantastic, considering that it isn’t even a single.

I have to say, this is my favorite debut album from any band I’ve ever listened to. Led Zeppelin’s self titled debut album really cements the band as the premier hard rock band of the time.
Released at the beginning of 1969, this album quickly rose to fame on British …

The Suburbs is Arcade Fire’s third studio album, released in 2010, and probably my favourite out of all three of their albums. It’s been three years since their last release, and this album has been highly anticipated by all of Arcade Fire’s fans. The wait, in my opinion, is …

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 …

This album is the closest thing to musical perfection in rock and metal that I’ve heard in a long time. Personally, I think that this is a musical masterpiece from Mushroomhead. The first track, “Kill Tomorrow”, begins slow and steady with Jeffrey Nothing’s vocal starting as well. Then the …

On the surface, Little Woman is a very simple song that isn’t all the complex. That may be how it is even below the surface, but this song captured the hearts of young girls throughout the United States way back in 1969. It’s called bubblegum music because …

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, …

Last is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their EP Broken. The track opens up in an extremely aggressive fashion with Reznor wasting no time with a heavily distorted guitar riff, a bounding drum rhythm, and overall just a very heavy sound which his vocals on …

This was the first band that I ever started listening to and this was probably the first CD I have ever purchased. I am really glad that I did buy it. It was just a random choice when I bought this CD. I thought the CD cover looked cool …

You don’t have to be a child of the 80’s to know that there is tons of music out there from this decade that is simply marvelous. Out of the 80’s came a group called Tears for Fears. Much of their music has been sampled in the …

Off the new Slash album, Nothing to Say by Slash is a song featuring vocals by The M Shadows off Avenged Sevenfold. It starts off with a creepy laugh by Slash and goes into a dark riff that goes into another riff into the verse of the song. I …

I don’t know much about her except that she’s a 36 year old jazz singer who graces many stages around the Atlanta area (and I presume, beyond). She’s got a great set of pipes. But …

This thing is a beast plan and simple. More then enough power to rattle dishes in the china cabinet.

In this third album, Pissed Jeans, a band who came from Pennsylvania, USA, still looks consistent. If you like the type of punk rock offered Jesus Lizard or maybe Butthole Surfers, you will really enjoy the Pissed Jeans. If not, you will feel lost, because the King Of Jeans …

No Scrubs by TLC is a song that is really cool in my opinion because it talks about how this girl does not want no Scrub. She then goes on to diss him in the song. This song in my opinion is like how I am when a guy …
