Green Day - No Pride (Song)
No Pride is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Insomniac. The track opens up with a quick guitar rhythm comprised of the famous pattern of three power chords played on a heavily distorted guitar. Despite the predictable opening, one thing I do like about the …

Ukulele Mahalo U30
I bought the Mahalo U3 Soprano Ukulele for 20 euro. I was told in the music store that it was not a very good version of the ukuele and that it just for fun. I would dispute this. I find that the Mahalo U30 is very playable. …

That Old Feeling CD
This is a self review from a performer’s point of view.
“That Old Feeling” is a refreshing music CD that is also a welcomed “trip down memory lane”. The CD is a tribute to the days of past, and the music is a direct reflection of those times that so …
Attila the band
Attila is a metal band and they are pretty cool in so many ways and the main reason for me liking who they are would have to be that they make songs that are awesome. Songs such as deuce deuce and let me get a Newport are catchy songs …
Green Day - St. Jimmy (Song)
After listening to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting, I just have to say that St. Jimmy could not have come at a better time on the track listing. Whereas the previous two aforementioned songs are honestly just boring pieces of music which are predictable and …
Future Sex/Love Sounds Album of Justin Timberlake (JT)
The Future Sex/Love Sounds Album of pop idol Justin Timberlake, or JT for short, is to me simply the best he’s had in the music industry. This was JT’s second album, released in 2006.
I have followed JT’s career from the very start, right back to his struggling —˜N …
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (Song)
Yellow Submarine is a track by The Beatles which appears on both Revolver and Yellow Submarine. Although the track is written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, it’s actually the drummer, Ringo Starr, who takes lead vocal duties on this track. For those of you who have heard Starr …
The Rolling Stones - Yesterday’s Papers (Song)
Yesterday’s Papers is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on Between The Buttons. Something interesting about Yesterday’s Papers is that the track has sort of a psychedelic sound to it. For one, the background vocals seem to have sort of a fade in and out effect which …
Animal Collective - Bleed (Song)
Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …
The band Lamb of God
The band Lamb of God is one of the best metal bands ever and you should check them out. I love their songs, most of them anyways but one the best songs I have heard from them is a relatively new song by them and its called everything to …
Go!Go!7188 - Antenna (2009 Album)
I’ve been following Japanese surf rock band Go!Go!7188 for over 5 years now, and I was really excited to get my copy of their 2009 album, Antenna, which promised some different sounds while still showing the classic Go!Go!7188 rock.
True enough, the album featured songs that I can’t really say …
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
Here comes the judge! That’s right, this is the album that proved to the world Soundgarden was a legitimate threat to any rock Gods previous. Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden’s forth album, is where it really starts to get good.
Oh, man. I can hear the start of Rusty Cage playing in …
Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart by Alicia Keys
As a singer, I’m not very fond of Alicia Keys. I think her voice sounds really weird and it is just not that pretty sounding. But I have to give her some credit because at least her voice sounds natural and doesn’t have any crazy sound effects on it. …
The Flaming Lips - Halloween On The Barbary Coast (Song)
Halloween On The Barbary Coast is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death in the Future Head. Opening up with a collection of somewhat random sounds, a moderate guitar lead soon drives the track until some interesting percussive work also starts to …
3 Inches Of Blood Fire Up The Blades
This is the Canadian band’s third album, and second album for Roadrunner Records, released in 2007 with producer Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Fire up the Blades won me over. The band stated that the album is influenced by low quality beer and bong hits and listening to black metal …
Movin’ Out - Original Cast Album
“Movin’ Out,” the Broadway show based on the music of rock legend Billy Joel, enjoyed a relatively short-lived run on the Great White Way. Nevertheless, the original cast album is a great addition the the record collection of any Billy Joel fan, as well as anyone interested in the …
Sound Peace - David & Steve Gordon
Sound Peace - David & Steve Gordon is a fairly enjoyable audio CD that offers a combination of flutes, guitar chords, harps, wind chimes, piano melodies and more. All of the instrumental music that appears on this CD is gentle and soft, and is arranged in a way that …
Album : Face Down - The Runaway (E.P)
Today I had the opportunity to check out a nice little five track E.P from up and coming groove metal act FACE DOWN. Before you say anything, no this isn’t the same groove metal band by the same name that were prominent in the late nineties, this is just …
Gorillaz, 2001 Album by Gorillaz
I have read that this album has sold over ten million records worldwide. There must have been many reasons for that, but I would go so far as to claim that the music proper was not the biggest reason for this album’s commercial success.
I was about twelve when I …
Meet Miley Cyrus Album
A lot of people try to trash talk Miley Cyrus for being a rebellious Disney Star who has made a lot of mistakes in the public eye by posting really bad pictures of herself on public social networking sites. Although I do not think Miley Cyrus is a great …
Human Nature by Michael Jackson
In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …

Cannibal Corpse - Staring Through The Eyes of the Dead (song)
“Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead” is the opening track on Cannibal Corpse album “The Bleeding”. This right here is probably about as mainstream old school Cannibal Corpse has ever gone, besides their brief stint on Ace Venture Pet Detective. Although “Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead” …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …
“Trapped In The Closet, Part 7″ (2005): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Trapped In The Closet, Part 7″

Low and behold, the mystery person who was accidentally shot at the end of Part 6 turns out to be Gwendolyn’s brother Twan (aka the black version of Arnold Schwarzenegger) who has just been released from prison. Just as predicted, Sylvester …
The Outsiders soundtrack CD
I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …
The Doors - Maggie M’Gill (Song)
Maggie M’Gill is a song by The Doors which appears on their record Morrison Hotel. The track opens up with a guitar lead which has simultaneous parts going on in the left and right channels with the drums and bass going straight down the center, the effect applied here …
Who You Are by Jessie J Music Album
I first discovered Jessie J through her first single, Price Tag, on the Top 40 List. It was a very catchy tune with a simple message and an upbeat attitude which is perfect for a summer song. I then saw her perform her music video for Who …
Animal Collective - Here Comes The Indian (Album)
Here Comes The Indian is the fourth studio record released by Animal Collective. Overall, the impression I get from Here Comes The Indian is that it sounds almost if they’re trying to recreate the melodic and relaxing atmosphere they established on Campfire Songs, but this time do it with …
Song: Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by singer Toby Keith
Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by Toby Keith is the complete opposite of what we have been used to hearing from Toby Keith throughout his career. The song is about a man who doesn’t just go play around with whatever woman comes along and then forget about her. …
As Tall As Lions CD
Are you looking for a vew and very interesting type of Rock n’Roll to listen to? Do you appreciate extremely well writen music and talented musicians? Do you want to listen to a bass player who can really play bass? If you answer is yes to either …
Album : Accept - Russian Roulette
I love albums that have the simple ability to split band’s fan bases right down the middle for a battle to the death. I guess there is a fair few albums like this across the rock & metal world, but maybe none more so that Russian Roulette from German …
Experience CD (by Mahogany Dust)
Mahogany Dust is a husband wife acoustic duo that does most spoken soul performances. But they just released an album called “Experience” that I was quite surprised by. That is because there is more production on the song that I expected. There are …
Roll The Stones tribute band
The other day I went to City Plaza in West Palm beach after I got off the tram. I watched them play at 8 pm when they started performing their upbeat songs like Jumpin Jack Flash, and I can’t get no satisfaction. The band was probably one of the …
Bob Dylan - Lenny Bruce (Song)
Lenny Bruce is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. Thankfully Shot Of Love is basically the last of Dylan’s records where religious themes are prominent throughout many of the lyrics of the song and on an even better note, Lenny Bruce doesn’t …

The Cranberries
In the nineteen nineties, one of the most popular rock groups was an Irish rock band called “The Cranberries”. The first time I heard of them though was not in the 90s wen I was a child but recently after I saw them on VH1 in a few countdowns …
Country Singer Toby Keith
Toby Keith has been one of my favorite country music singers since he came on the scene. Many people take offense to his sometimes “rowdy” appearances in songs such as “Who’s Your Daddy” and “How Do You Like Me Now?”. These songs are just a small part of what …
Icona Pop (music group)
The first time that I remember hearing any song at all from the music group Icona Pop, was back when those commercials for the company “Shoe Dazzle” were just getting popular. I literally paused what I was doing just to see the shoes, and then found myself Googling the …
