The main reason why I am intrigued by The Pussycat Dolls is because they manage to sing relatively well by doing exhaustingly well choreographed dance moves. They are always in sync. They have great sex appeal. They are a very talented group of performers that are entertaining in concert …

Every now and again, a song comes along that has so much energy and life to it that it becomes a timeless monster of music. Driving guitars often populate these songs with hard chords being slammed out in a progressive manner, as the drums beat out creative rhythms that …

Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!
As a background, AURORA (real name Aurora Aksnes) …

I so love this song very much with my entire life. The first time I heard this one was 2007. I admit I am not a Miley Cyrus fan but I watched her television series before but not daily. That was in Disney Channel. This is the theme song …

After The Cranberries disbanded in 2002 the bandmembers went back to being with their families, and it took a while until some of them showed any sign of life. Dolores O’Riordan kept a low-profile for several years, she appeared here and there, did some collaborations until she decided to …

“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 …

Def Leppard are one of Britain’s most successful rock bands. They were one of the pioneers of the 80s hard rock sound, achieving massive, million selling success in the 1980s. In the 1990s, their music was no longer fashionable and their career took a slump. They changed their sound …

Sara Bareilles’ album, Kaleidoscope Heart, was recently released. The album is consistent with her previous works, but it seems to have reached an all-time high.

First time I hear ‘Walking On a Dream’ from Empire of The Sun, I really want to listen to this song more and more. First, I don’t know who sing this good song, until i search on Google with some part of lyrics as a keyword and finally I …

While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …

Overview —“ Wherever I May Roam, a third music video released for The Black Album, along with Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters, focuses on a live setting which fits extremely well with the song in my opinion. The song is all about the life of touring and not …

Everything’s Explodin’ is a song by The Flaming Lips and the opening track of their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a heavy guitar riff, the percussion violently enters the mix as the song begins to establish its main rhythm. To be honest, I was not personally …

I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …

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 …

WHen I was younger in my earlier years of high school, I had just gone into an alternative rock phase. I think that was about the same time which a new alernative rock singer named Michelle Branch emerged upon the scene. I liked her since I thought her songs …

Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah part 1: World war 4″ is a classic to me. I state this, because not a lot of people liked this album. With the release of her hit single “Honey” everyone thought the entire album would spawn similar sounding songs. They were wrong. I like …

The Ballad Of Ira Hayes is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Dylan. Apparently this song is a cover which is actually something that I was not aware of, but then again, I do remember that at least a few tracks on Dylan were cover …

Overview - Blonde On Blonde, Bob Dylan’s seventh effort, is the first of Dylan’s albums to follow his commercially successful album, Like A Rolling Stone. After listening to Like A Rolling Stone I honestly wondered how Dylan would ever top that masterpiece, and to this day I don’t believe …

Octavarium is a rock music CD by Dream Theater. Although it is not my favorite of their CD’s it is still very good.

Bruno Mars, Just The Way You Are. I saw it was number 1 in the UK but I had no idea who he was or what the song was. Funnily enough though as soon as I found this online I did k ow and realised straight away why it …

Numb by Linkin park is a song that I like a lot because it is a song of anguish. To me it sounds like the lyrics are telling how majority of teenagers feel but are afraid to admit so. This song has some powerful verses in it and the …

A very fast song from the start as the lead guitar pumps up the volume of the praise song and as Joel Houston sings. He was sounding hoarse voice here but it is still okay because he is doing it with all his heart and what his soul can …

If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …

I think that Cypress Hill IV is one of the best rap albums in history. This album does not sound flashy. It is not an album that you fall in love with at first sight. But this is an album that is very rich and serious. It is exactly …

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 …

“Katzenjammer” is a song by Kyuss that shows up on their album “Wretch” and their EP “Sons of Kyuss”. I am reviewing the “Sons of Kyuss” version. This version of the song “Katzenjammer” happens to not only be longer, but in my opinion better than the one they released …

John Denver: Rocky Mountain Christmas CD is a really nice album to play during the holidays especially if you like that crisp, outdoor feel, because that is present all through this record. Denver was known for his environmental beliefs and the song choices for this album reflect that.

The One I Want is a song by Green Day which appears on their debut record, 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. The track starts off basically by going back and forth between this faster and slower section, but this doesn’t last for very long as Armstrong comes in with the …

This Good Friday was my second time seeing all three of these bands, so I know what I’m talking about when I say that this concert was not just “business as usual” for these artists.
The concert began with a bang when Sevendust came onto the stage. Their high-energy …

IF Z-Man is part of the Hieroglyphics extended family, then he is one the outer, outer branches of the family tree. He actually is part of the Hiero crew, but not an immediate member, but signed to their label, Hiero Imperium. Z-Man’s lyrics are in a league of …

Overview —“ Side II of Tommy may only have four tracks to it, but due to the last track, it has a lot of music on it. Obviously since this is a concept record, all of the songs on here fit together with one another in some way or …

If I assess this album now, trying to figure out its worth more objectively, I probably would have a more sober opinion of it. But even after the passage of so many years, I still find it almost impossible to have an analytical, cold view of this album, because …

Initially it would not catch me listening to this kind of music, but this wonderful singer left me with no other choice but making an exception. The first time I heard her voice I thought that I was in the dream, I caught myself day dreaming and losing all …

I had a chance to listen to the new Jay-Z album which is the Blueprint 3, and it is one of my most favorite music albums of the year. This is Jay-Z’s 10th album and even at almost 40 years old, he is still one of the best rap …
