Exile is a song by Slayer which starts out in an extremely heavy fashion, as most Slayer songs do, before Araya comes in with the vocals of the track. Now typically I like Slayer a bit and think they’re a good metal band but the sound on Exile is …

Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …

I Walk the Line is a song performed by Johnny Cash. In 1956 is when he recorded this song for Sun Records. It was a top seller of course because it was a song about the heart and people could relate to it in their own lives. It is …

Day of Baphomets is a song by the Mars Volta. It appears as the 7th track off of their 2006 album “Amputechture”. The Mars Volta are noted to be a very avant-garde and experimental band. With their odd time signatures, offbeat syncopation’s and intellectual lyrics make each song an …

Nine Heavens, the second album by Niyaz, a group comprised of former Vas vocal Azam Ali, instrumentalist Loga Ramin Torkian, and DJ Carmen Rizzo, is an ecstatic 2-CD compilation. The first of these contains 9 electronically mixed songs, and the second repeats the same songs except one in an …

Eminem returns in fine form with his fourth CD. “Just Lose It” was the first big single, followed by “A** Like That” and they showed off Eminem’s playful side with jokes about celebrities and silly lyrics. I have to say that there were a few songs on …

The Cardinals appear to have been the catalyst for Adams’ more surefooted outings of late …

At The Drive-in was a moderately known progressive indie band for the majority of their existence. The fans of the genre knew who they were, but there were not too many people outside of this hardcore group of fans that knew too much about them maybe outside of their …

The Abandoned Hospital Ship is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their album Clouds Taste Metallic. The track opens up with Coyne coming in with the vocal delivery immediately and singing in front of a subtle piano playing behind him. In my opinion, the track sounds …

I am sure that some people might not understand the beauty of the music on this album but I personally do find beauty in this music and below I will try to explain why the nine songs that were released by Sonic Youth in 1983 are attractive to me …

I’m sorry. I just can’t like the books. I can’t stand the movies. I have no fangirl fantasies of being swept away by a semi-dead 108-year-old virgin who wants to carry on tales of how he would destroy me if he made love to me and …

Rain Man is a song by Eminem which appears on his album Encore. The track starts off with a pretty slow tempo and a laidback rhythm which Eminem establishes a rhythm for with his vocal performance. The opening vocal melody seems a bit awkward at first, and I will …

Whether you like her music or not, you can’t argue that the name Lady Gaga is/was iconic. I am not really a fan of her whole discography because it went downhill when she released Born this Way - the time when her music became somewhat pretentious for the general …

Overview - Broken, the first EP put out by Nine Inch Nails, is basically eight extremely aggressive songs just fueled by anger, which becomes obvious not only through Reznor’s voice but even through his guitar playing. Generally I’m not a huge fan of albums that have just one feel …

Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …

Honestly, I really dig this group. MTS is a doujin artist - in English, that basically means it’s a Japan-situated artist that arranges popular tunes with unique twists. Magical Trick Society in particular falls squarely in this genre - their arrangements of popular video game tunes have definitely not …

The song talks about how great …

Original of the species is one of the songs featured on the “How to dismantle an atomic bomb: CD which was released by the Irish rock band, u2. I just loves the way this song begins with just a drum and the piano in background. This is also another …

Bruce Springsteen released Magic in 2007, an album eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike. His first outing with the E-Street Band since 2002’s The Rising, a lot was expected of the Boss this time around.

Shontelle is an R&B singer-songwriter from Barbados. This aspiring lawyer-singer is also the one who sang T-shirt, which became my theme song whenever I am taking a bath. Impossible is another hit single coming from her that is far much better than T-shirt because of the story. The story …

Rolling Papers is Wiz Khalifa’s big debut album. He released a few of the songs as singles before the release of the CD. That made it feel like I had already heard about half of the songs before he released it. The problem with that was that he had …

Summer time by Kenny Chesney is about how much fun summer time is. It also is about how much Kenny Chesney likes his fans because it is always summer time with them. This song is also about how there is a lot more to do in summer time …

It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …

Escape, one of the later tracks on Ride The Lightning, is a track that I’ll admit sounds forced and written for the radio in my opinion. Supposedly the story is that the record company wanted Metallica to write a track like Escape, due to …

Sweet song, this is; Don’t Forget To Remember Me by Carrie Underwood. I enjoyed myself listening to this song pretty much each time and when I watch the music video, I know understand why Carrie was chosen by the judges or rather, the viewers out there in American Idol. …

Although I enjoy volume one in this three volume series the most despite the disappointing audio quality, volume two is nonetheless entertaining still because it features a lot of songs from the Beach Boys that aren’t heard as often as say “Good Vibrations” or “California Girls” or “Kokomo”. Those …

Ballad Of Hollis Brown is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record The Times, They Are A-Changin’. Right from the first few guitar parts of this track, you can hear sort of a dark mood to the track and I’ll say right now that this sound …

I am a huge fan of 80’s idie rock and alternative. Well, indie period. My favorite band is Depechmode, and for the first time I have found something that they can be compared to. Now I’m not saying they are equal, but almost and if you are a Depechmode …

This Elvis Presley album realeased by RCA AFL in 1985, Always On My Mind, was a hard one to find for me. I already have most of the songs on other Elvis albums, but since it’s Elvis, I still wanted it nonetheless.
I do find myself a bit disappointed, though. …
