Personally there’re not so cool songs, …

After listening to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting, I just have to say that St. Jimmy could not have come at a better time on the track listing. Whereas the previous two aforementioned songs are honestly just boring pieces of music which are predictable and …

I first heard of the German rock band Rammstein when I had just left high school and had begun to crave metal and explore some of the heavier genres of rock music. Someone had introduced me to the music of Rammstein, which I became even more interested in hearing …

The Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill soundtrack CD is one of my favorites. This Disney movie starred Patrick Swayze as the legendary Pecos Bill, and it’s full of magic and adventure. The music expresses the wonder of heroes and the growing up of a …

As a lady, listening to Reunion by Black Sabbath takes a good amount of courage from me, I have to say. I was given this track as a birthday present last year and I’ve yet to find out who the “mystery” user was up till now. The …

I have been a fan of Carrie Underwood since she won American Idol. Every song that she came out with after that I thought was really great and I truly believed that she was bringing country music to a completely different level. People started liking country music more than …

“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 …

I realised i should have listened to this alot sooner as this release really got my attention from the first track.
Clocking in at around 15 mins, The splatter sessions …

This album, in my opinion, is pure genius. It’s reveals a more romantic side of Chris Martin (the lead singer) who is an immensely talented musician. Yet with a little more rocker edge to it. I wish that everybody would listen to it.. I never knew how deeply music …

I have never loved any R n b artist until Chris Brown. He is truly a brilliant artist with a very lovely and unique voice. Not that other singers don’t have his talent, but Chris Brown sure is one of the best I guess in the modern songs I …

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 …

This is one of my theme songs at the moment. This song is contagious and once you hear it, it is stuck in your head for quite a while. I could care less because this song represents incredible music that is hard to get the words to describe. I …

Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective.

H.I.M (His Infernal Majesty)
This band is one that has been around for a while, and has a good number of albums under their belt. HIM stands for His Infernal Majesty. Sound kind of dark? Well they are, in a way. Their lyrics are, essnetially, love lyrics …
