“Shook Ones Pt. 2″ is the number 1 single by Mobb Deep. This was the reason you bought “The Infamous”. What made it even more enjoyable is that the album happened to be just as fantastic as the song. “Shook Ones Pt. 2″ is the number reason that put …

Kenny Rogers is one of those country artists who have been around for a long time and that still continue to be a favorite today. I grew up on Kenny Rogers to be honest. My mother and aunts loved his voice when he sang so it was not unheard …

Viva La Vida is a cover of the Coldplay song performed by Weezer and appearing on their record, Hurley. Although I can’t really comment on the actual songwriting of this track because it’s a cover, I can certainly focus on Weezer’s interpretation of the song which is actually pretty …

Airbourne storm onto the scene with the thundering, rocking, beer-drinking, womanizing “Runnin’ Wild”.
Whilst Airbourne had one album out previous to this, it was very limited, did not sell well and is somewhat of a collector’s item now. Thus most magazines and listeners alike have credited this as Airbourn’es first …

Overview —“ The Unforgiven II, Metallica’s second part of The Unforgiven trilogy, continues on in the same dark approach and atmosphere that The Unforgiven introduced. The Unforgiven II continues with the story of the same child who was in The Unforgiven I but it takes place in between the …

After achieving success with Sweet Kisses, Jessica Simpson, appeared with Sweetest Sin on the album titled, In This Skin. More exciting and more excited.

I very clearly remember the first time I heard “Vision of Love” on the radio. I heard those first few notes on my local radio station and stopped everything I was doing. I just listened. I remember thinking at first it was Whitney Houston but then …

Overview - Highway 61 Revisited, Dylan’s sixth effort and his first to feature a full backing band, is filled with brilliant songwriting and excellent lyrics, something I’ve always expected of Dylan after hearing a lot of his work. This album contains some of Dylan’s most well known songs of …

To be completely and totally honest I am not a huge, die-hard country fan. I am the type of person who likes a mixture of music. That being said several years ago I was in walmart when I saw Toby Keith’s album “How DoYou Like Me Now”. If memory …

The Corrs is an Irish band and they have sold millions of copies of their albums worldwide. I can even recall that was in third year high school in the late 90’s and I heard their song “I Never Loved You Anyway”. This song made me love this band. …

The rock band Korn sucks and are way too over rated. I mean looking at the guys first glance I though they were a bunch of women, they all look way too feminine to have been singing hardcore music. I am saying this right now that all there songs …

Kelly Clarkson is a former American Idol who recently came out with an album entitled “All I Ever Wanted”. Overall, it is a pretty good album that has produced some solid hits that have been played on the radio a lot.
“All I Ever Wanted”, the song that the album …

Let me first preface this by saying that Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” is my favorite music video of all time. Regina Spektor is one of the most adorable recording artists of this generation. She has a voice like no other. In my opinion, she is one of the most talented …

From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

The Bleeding is Cannibal Corpse’s fourth album, and last to feature Chris Barnes on vocals, who is now the vocalist for Six Feet Under. The album was released in 1994 on Metal Blade Records, and produced by Scott Burns. The album is not as fast all the way through, …

Ain’t It Just Like You isn’t a typical Toby Keith song in many senses. I love the song though. She decides that she is going to leave, but she isn’t really that sure that she wants to go. He doesn’t want her to go so he prays, begs and …

Casino Boogie is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Exile On Main St. The track opens up with a clean guitar riff which has a blues rhythm to it and once the song goes on for a bit, it becomes obvious that there’s certainly …

Sometimes i have a preconceived rough idea on what an album is going to sound like before i listen to it. I have found that without bragging i am right more often than not. The problem with doing this though, is that when i build an album up in …

It is rare to see an Asian American songstress making a name for herself in America, despite the claim that there is no racial bias in entertainment. And so Vienna Teng’s presence upon the adult alternative music scene is very much refreshing and a welcome change from the numerous …

My opinion of this album changed dramatically in the course of years. I was a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne when I was in my early teenage years. I knew all his albums very well, and was quite fond of many of his songs. And this album, the 1983 …

I have only recently been introduced to the music of the Benjy Davis Project and have been really enjoying their honest pop-rock feel which is a bit like a cross between Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty and another one of my favorites Will Hoge.
This new album of theirs is …

To The End is a song by My Chemical Romance which appears on their album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. Opening up with a fairly dissonant sounding guitar riff and the vocal melody right away, I will admit that Gerard Way does a good job of giving the track …

The lyrics in American Gangster by Jay-Z can be quite disturbing for those with a faint heart. But I took a peep and listen to them anyway the other day. Was not that bad. The songs are actually based on the same movie title. Talking about …

Sara is a song by Bob Dylan which is the final track on his album Desire. I’ll be honest and admit right now that this is one of my favorite Dylan songs throughout his entire catalogue. The track starts off with a somewhat ominous tone before leading into a …

Dig A Pony is a song by The Beatles which appears on their final studio record, Let It Be. Dig A Pony starts off with sort of an awkward beginning before getting into the main riff of the song which isn’t bad at all. Lennon soon comes in with …

I’m a person who has tended to gravitate to mostly different kinds of rock and electronic music ever since I was a teenager. However, that does not and has never stopped me from exploring other genres of music and having other favourite artistes from those same genres. Nevertheless, it …

I wasn’t anticipating much from the Tennessee band the Kings of Leon when I foremost heard they were releasing a fresh album, and this is mostly since they haven’t done something major (in my view) like Aha Shake Heartbreak. Their final album, Because of the Times, did okay with the …

I love this track from Eminem. To some just a good track to listen to, for those who look deeper a real insight into Eminems life and the rap industry.
It goes into detail with regards his feud with Ja Rule that included 50 Cent and Dr Dre. You can …

I think that The Bends is the album that best defines Radiohead. Of course one could find numerous reasons why OK Computer is a better record, but to me personally The Bends will always be on a par with OK Computer, even though it is lacking in some features …

Best of and greatest hits CD’s are always worth a good review regardless of the singer/band, which is what led me to writing this review. Hope this review will persuade you to by this CD is you haven’t done so already. Good music at any price!
