I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …

This album by Sonic Youth aroused a mixed reaction in me. On the one hand and I thought that this album could have been a lot better. On the other hand it still has a number of very good songs and some features, some very impressive features, which were …

We’re Going Wrong is a song by Cream which appears on their album Disraeli Gears. Opening up with a few guitar chords and a steady drum rhythm behind, the song initially has a fairly somber mood and it makes me curious if Cream will explore this further as it …

Indescribable by Chris Tomlin is a song that sums it all up. Indescribable is just the word to describe what god is. He is hard to explain and in so many ways you can’t explain him that’s why I agree he is one hundred percent Indescribable. I like this …

White 2 is the fourth album from drone metal pioneers Sunn O))) and most probably their most ambient based work.

The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …

Money is track a track by Pink Floyd which appears on their iconic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. I say that the album itself is iconic but I’d also say that this track, along with many others on that album, has also become iconic in rock and …

Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” is one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the 1990s. There is a certain rawness to the whole affair — dissonance, and fuzzy production values give this album a homemade feel. The lyrics have a distinctly post-modern, sometimes dark tone to them, while others …

I thought that the 1994 Illmatic by rapper Nas was a classic and is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. At the time, Nas was a relatively unknown artist and west coast gangsta rap artists were dominating the hip hop scene such as Dr. Dre, …

This song says it all when it comes to how guys act when they decide they want an excuse to do something they shouldn’t be doing. They will find ways to treat their woman like junk and tell her she isn’t good at anything. This woman isn’t going to …

OneRepublic’s “Dreaming Out Loud” is a stellar debut album, in my humble opinion. OneRepublic is a rock band that recently became very popular on the radio, MTV, MySpace, and pretty much everywhere else in the music scene. It came out awhile ago but I just recently picked it up …

The song Kairo by biniou is a really amazing song. Even someone that doesn’t know the Japanese language can enjoy its beauty.

Yes, that’s the real artwork for Sia’s newly debuted song titled “Bird Set Free”. She’s been getting weirder and weirder as she’s deeper into her career, now she’s refusing to have a camera in front of her face. Her album covers and live performances are so weird to be …

My mind is changing about the Pussycat Dolls. I still don’t understand why in the world you need 6 people to sing one song, but whatever. I finally gave them a chance and I found that I actually enjoyed their music. I added their newer single to my playlist …

Skillet’s seventh album “Comatose” brings out all the things I love about this band. Their deep and meaningful lyrics and incredible sound and music style that’s all their own. “Rebirthing” is the perfect mix of everything Skillet. The melodious string arrangement. The edgy rock sound …

Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …

Avery Island/April 1st is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the seventh on the track listing of their debut release, On Avery Island. Something to point out about this track is that it’s another instrumental, so this could potentially be slightly discouraging to some listeners. In my …
