Know Your Enemy is a song by Green Day which appears on their record 21st Century Breakdown. As a note, this was the first single to be released in promotion of this record so you can expect a pretty catchy, and straightforward, track. The song starts off with a …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.
It …

Kim is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Marshall Mathers LP. The track opens up in an innocent enough fashion with Eminem talking to his daughter, but a listener should soon hear the cynical tone which emerges from Eminem’s voice. For those of you who …

The artist Two Steps From Hell was created circa 2006 by Thomas J. Bergeson and Nick Pheonix. I would most likely compare their sound to the likes of Hans Zimmer, Audiomachine, and Immediate Music. It’s mostly dramatic/ intense music for stuff like movie trailers.
What I really like about their …

This review does not give any specifics other than not enough Sinatra was used. That is one of the worst thing about reviewers of reviewing in general, they are always looking for something thats not there, just take it as it is. The album begins with one …

One of Led Zeppelin’s semi know song is the track Heatrbreaker off their second album, Led Zeppelin 2. I like this song because it has that signature riff throughout the sing that is played in octaves. It really has that late 60’s tone to it and Robert Plant’s vocals …

The progressive rock band Dream Theater, known for their long, winding, and technically complex music, also has a penchant for equally lengthy and densely packed live-concert DVDs; the recent “Chaos In Motion” is no exception.

Overview - American Beauty, the fifth album by The Grateful Dead, continues in the same style of they started with on Workingman’s Dead by writing from more of a folk rock and country style rather than the electric and psychedelic driven songs from their first three albums. I’ll say …

Whaddit I Done is a song by Animal Collective which is the final track to appear on their record Sung Tongs. Opening up with an odd musical passage accompanied by a vocal section, the track somewhat feels like a song similar to Sweet Road in my opinion due to …

You may have heard their pervasive song “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” or seen its inventive “teen with antlers” video. And recently the follow-up single “Dance, Dance” is hitting the airwaves, with another imaginative video evocative of the troubled teen years. I decided to purchase their CD after …

DESTROYER
A multi platiunum success that was THE album that put KISS over the top after the success of ALIVE and provided KISS with the missing component that made them popular to the masses.
This didn’t sit too well with KISS fans as KISS departed from their “Live in the Studio” …

This my favorite Katy Perry’s song. And she wrote it! She is so talented and amazing. I didn’t thought she could write a very good song like this. Now I know she’s really a talented woman.
Thinking Of You is for all the girls who lost their boyfriends, either died …

What Would I Want? Sky is a song by Animal Collective and the second track on their EP Fall Be Kid. Opening up instrumentally, vocals do enter the mix but they are more of hums rather than actual lyrics which don’t enter the song until this instrumental section has …

When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …

White Sky is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their second record, Contra. The song opens up with the very playful sound that I have come to associate with Vampire Weekend. The vocals for the first verse come in with a fairly catchy vocal melody, but there …

Don’t buy this CD; it is really tasteless. Not to mention I am not really a big fan of this artiste anyway. But he is really talented I have to claim that. For this particular album, the songs are not that nice and I couldn’t relate to …

Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …

I listened to Bittersweet World by Ashlee Simpson the other day and she does not sound like her sister at all. In fact, I thought it was another rendition of Avril Lavigne or something.
The album of this song is not that awesome. I sifted through the songs and …

B.Y.O.B. the opening track of System Of A Down’s double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize is what I would consider to be among their most aggressive work throughout the past few records. The song opens up with a guitar riff by Malakian which is quite aggressive and quick before giving way to …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …

Emphasizing the importance of Persian culture in her work, the Iranian-born singer calls her second studio album the word “Shabrang” - that was the name of the black horse belonging to Siyâvash from the book of the Shahnameh kings. Siyâvash symbolizes virtue, honesty and courage - being the son …
