Cousins is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their second record, Contra. Right from the opening, you hear an incredibly chaotic and energy guitar riff which has the characteristic youthful sound of Vampire Weekend, but it’s far more chaotic in my opinion. Surprisingly, the band comes up …

I never really pay attention to Demi Lovato. All of a sudden, her new single released and it was everywhere. It also went straight to #1 on itunes. I was so surprised so I did a little research and found out she had eating disorders, cut herself, and went …

Sister, by Sonic Youth is an album that one has to learn to like. Its beauty does not reveal itself at once, but one has to understand the music before it becomes possible to enjoy it.
When speaking about this album, for me personally, two tracks stand out head and …

I am so in love with hit single The Man Who Can’t Be Moved by The Script. Just some information about this song and the band, before I pore out my heart. I am not in love or anything, all it is, is I am in love …

Between the Buried and Me (BTBAM) is a progressive metalcore band. Yeah that’s right, that —˜shouty angry’ music your dad really hates, but with more spice and flavour. To someone not used to this sort of music I can see it being a challenge to listen to, with dissonance, …

The Coffee Song is a song by Cream which appears on their debut record, Fresh Cream. The song opens up with a very dreamy atmosphere due to the vocal delivery and also the subtle guitar lines played behind the vocals. As with many of the songs by Cream, …

The Struggle Within, the final track of The Black Album, is a song which unfortunately sends the album off on pretty much just an average note. I’ve praised Hetfield’s vocal work and performance throughout this entire album but unfortunately I can’t really say that about this track. I think …

Elvis Presley is no longer with us but he certainly is still a name that everyone recognizes. I remember as a child, listening to Elvis on my mother’s stereo. He was still alive and well, but he had gained quite a bit of weight by the time he passed …

The Kids Quartet is a track by MGMT which appears on their first record, Climbing To New Lows. The song opens up with a very odd opening, there’s an odd vocal effect along with a drum rhythm which leads into what sounds like a synthesizer coming in and out …

That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.
How often do you have ups and downs in one year? How often do our aspirations and emotions change? All the …

Many people would say Lady Gaga’s new album “The Fame Monster” is not a good album. I can see where they are coming from. There are only eight different songs, and it is hard to understand any of them. However, to me, it is quickly becoming one of my …

Seeing the name of Guy Sigsworth as a producer of Alanis Morissette album, titled Flavors Of Entanglement, I had felt worried. Alanis will lose in style, remember that Guy has been working on albums for artists such as Björk, Madonna or Britney Spears. But after hearing the 11 tracks …

Regrets by Jay-Z is the last song off of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” released June 25, 1996. I personally find it to be a perfect song to conclude the album. The song Regrets samples “It’s So Easy Loving You” by Earl Klugh and Hubert Laws. This makes the …

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 …

The Hank Jones: Tender Moments CD is for those of us who love the crooners and the beautiful love songs and ballads they bring us about life. These songs are among Jones’ favorites, and many of them are counted as favorites of mine as well, beginning with the …

I think that this is not a very good full length album for a band like Modest Mouse. I remember how I first started listening to it after I listened to their first full length album, and I did not enjoy this record at all. It was because I …

For us those who are old enough to catch the tail-end of 80’s rock, rock icons Guns N’ Roses are definitely something we can be nostalgic about. Hard-core fans definitely miss the music of unique guitar sounds, equally unique and incredible song structure and craftsmanship and wildcat howls …

When it comes to music I know when I really like an act or artist because I buy an album pretty much based on one or two songs and then just seem to listen to these songs over and over again.
This was the case with James Morrison. His song …

On the fifth album, Counting Crows deliberately to display two different themes. On side A, we are treated to color hard rock music, while the B side, bringing us to the nuances of folk. This album in a short time was ranked 3rd U.S. Billboard 200. Long enough for …

When released, Barbra Streisand: One Voice CD got a lot of attention and for good reason. It’s not everyday that this amazing singer gives a concert. This was back in 1987, before her big concert tours of the 90’s. Barbra gave a concert in her backyard, …

Overview —“ The Unforgiven I, the final music video released by Metallica for support of their record The Black Album is their most symbolic video at this point yet also probably my favorite and their best. Along with Nothing Else Matters, The Unforgiven easily has the most personal lyrics …

The obscure titled “I Was A Teenage Hand Model” closes out Queens of the Stone Age’s debut self titled album at track 11. What makes this album so weird is that it was released on Roadrunner records which I am most familiar with them releasing Soulfly albums, which are …

2 X 4 is a song by Metallica which appears on Load, the first half of their double album, Load/Reload. The track opens up with a sludgy sounding drum rhythm from Ulrich before Hetfield comes in with the rhythm part which reinforces my statement about this song having sort …

Most know Zack de la Rocha as the vocalist of the well known political rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine. Only some know him as the former front-man of Inside Out, a lesser known hardcore punk band, as well. During their somewhat-short time as a band, Inside Out released …

For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t like the band Cracker—¦ but I do anyway. I suppose it’s what the band calls “Cracker Soul” that moves me. It’s that intangible there is in music that is added by pure feeling. Cracker songs are simple; easy chord progressions repeated …

I would not say that this album is superb but I think that it is quite good. It is definitely good enough for Arctic Monkeys. All the songs on this album are a lot more mature than the songs that the band used to perform on the previous albums. …

Tell me I was dreaming is a love ballad by Travis Tritt. It is the type of song that typically brings tears to most of us. The video is not what I expected the first time I heard the song and then watched the video. It was a unique …
