This is the first time that I have ever really heard something fast by John Legend. I absolutely love this song, and did the first time that I heard it. Usually I don’t like songs with this particular tempo. The tempo has been used a …

Prince Charming is a song by Metallica which appears on their album Reload, the second half of their double record Load/Reload. The song starts out with a guitar riff which is very blues-rock sounding and is pretty characteristic of many of the riffs on both Load and Reload which …

Without question, not Eminems best track and yet it remains a classic, why? Because My Name Is was the track that seemed to really announce Eminem on the world stage.
It wasn’t his first song or from his first album but it was the one that captured peoples attention and …

When I want a feel good love song, I listen to Heaven in my woman’s eyes by Tracy Byrd. It all about how he couldn’t survive without the heaven in his woman’s eyes. She gets him through the daily junk of life. It’s a great tribute of love from …

Lady Gaga is considered to be very weird by many. Her strange taste in clothing and makeup rub some people the wrong way. A lot of people think that she is trying to be something that she is not simply so that she can sell more records and more …

“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …

This is the 21st Century is a song by the progressive rock group Marillion, which was first released in the 1990s but which has had several further releases since that time, some of them in a (to my way of thinking) considerably inferior acoustic version that was cut to …

If you were to ask me about a love ballad that reminds me of an old western movie I’d have to say it would Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson. This song is about a couple of friends that robbed a bank and then became outlaws running from the …

I have no idea how I started listening to this band. I think it was because of the style they were playing, dubbed shoegazing, and that sounded pretty interesting. I was thinking, what can shoegazing be, or what sort of a music is that, and so, I stumbled upon …

This was a very lovely and wonderful song that really reminds me how blessed I am and I tend to appreciate my life everyday as God is the one that sustains every thing I need.

Mastermind is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Cryptic Writings. The song opens up with a heavy guitar part before giving way to a nice bass fill with the guitar rhythm coming back in and out. The guitar itself soon doubles up on this bass fill …

Apotheosis sound of the band Jimmy Miller, who in the mid-60s reconverted the beethelian copy into a single group, introducing the black sound across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, for this reason, I found the very Ry Cooder and Al Kooper in the credits, putting the album in a worthy …

As Rush went into the 80’s their sounded changed a quite bit since they started out in the 1980’s. One of the songs they are most known for is the instrumental YYZ off the Moving Pictures album. The song has a really odd timing at the intro but it’t …

Good Night is a song by The Beatles which is the final track on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Good Night opens up with this very majestic sounding string section which has this very corny sound to it to be honest but I know this is what …

Light From Above is Black Tide’s first and only album so far, but there is supposed to be a new album coming out within the next year. The lyrics in this album don’t really have any deep meaning, but that isn’t the focus of this band. The focus is …

Jennifer Hudson CD album is unique. The title of this CD is also Jennifer Hudson. She is such an amazing singer, it’s no wonder that she has won an award before. Her voice is so precious and awesome and I felt sorry for her from the bottom …

Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …

TP-3 Reloaded

Chapter 20 of “Trapped in the Closet” brings the story back to the elderly couple as Rosie the nosy neighbor is seen reading her bible at home (this series is just full of ‘black people cliches’, now isn’t it?) when her …

Ray Stevens is one of the funniest musicians I know of. I love his song Mississippi Squirrel Revival. My husband likes the song because he has family that is from Mississippi. It is about a boy who brings a squirrel to church to show his friends. When he opens …

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 guitar is a great guitar for the price. The list price is $850, but it plays among guitars worth twice as much. I own the cream white color of this guitar, and I must say, and …

I have been a huge fan of Ms. Carrie Underwood. She won the fourth season of American Idol a decade ago and since then she’s become the most successful Idol winner ever, and for all the right reasons!
Despite the fact that her genre is kinda local to the US …

I do really love the music of Geoff Bullock II particularly his album “The Power of Your Love.” Listening to the album “Power of Your Love” will give you a one of a kind worship experience. The album is full of awesome and soul-reviving worship songs which include the …

I am really touch by the song entitled ‘Home’ by the band Daughtry. I only heard it from Chris Daughtry’s performance in American Idol.
Honestly, I am touched by the song. I was once in a strange country and I really feel homesick. It is totally difficult being alone and …

You could not classify Novembre’s “Materia” as metal, nor heavy metal. Though Novembre have a background that is colored in Metal, on “Materia” they embrace their softer side while including traces of their metal history.
Novembre could somewhat be classified as similar to bands like Opeth, Katatonia, and even at …

Cheap Trick is a band that has been around since a few years before I was born yet they seem to reinvent themselves just enough to stay around.
They have quite a few decent newer songs but, when I listen to them, I still prefer the classics like “I want …

There are many good points about Mumford and Sons releasing their newest album Sigh No More. They have been currently on tour around the U.S and will be for the next year. This genre of music i particularly like because it is kind of …

I’m a proud trekker and have been from the beginning of the Star Trek franchise, so I was happy to add The Best of Star Trek - 30th Anniversary Special CD to my collection in 1996. This CD incorporates music from the then four TV series that belonged …

When I first heard this song I almost wrote a letter to Eden’s Edge asking if they wrote this song for me. Every line of this song is parrelel with my experiences. I had never heard of this band before this song. I saw it as one of the …

Looking for a new place to practice with my band I jumped into Google (as usual). A place called the FuzzBox came up and took a look into their website. Not much there on the site but decided to go down and look anyway. It’s actually only five minuets …

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 …

I don’t know who Ashley Simpson was until I heard the song “Pieces of Me”. I didn’t even know that she’s the sister of Jessica Simpson. It actually came as a surprise to me because they are so different from each other, personality-wise and style-wise. Quite frankly, I like …

Overview —“ South Of Heaven, the fourth album released by Slayer, definitely slowed things down after the extremely thrash driven Reign In Blood. I know that when people tend to think of slayer they think of extremely heavy metal, but more importantly, they think of extremely fast metal. When …

Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony.

Blood On The World’s Hands is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record The X Factor. The track starts off with a keyboard part which establishes somewhat of an eerie mood to the track and makes me hopeful that the song will build. I’m not exactly …

Oasis is a band that occupies a very special place in my heart. Their 1995 album, What’s the Story, Morning Glory was basically the first CD we ever had in our household, because back 1995 most people still listened to LPs, and so did we. That album is very …
