Calling you by Blue October
Calling you by Blue October is a beautiful song to me because it is talking about a person who is surprised this other person to pick them to go out with them. This song is also wonderful in the way it is talking about a person who is …

Emphasizing the importance of Persian culture in her work, the Iranian-born singer calls her second studio album the word “Shabrang” - that was the name of the black horse belonging to Siyâvash from the book of the Shahnameh kings. Siyâvash symbolizes virtue, honesty and courage - being the son …

Nine Inch Nails - Please (Song)
Please is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track starts off with a heavy industrial sound and the synthesizers actually have a pretty interesting sound throughout this section in my opinion. Reznor comes in with the first verse pretty quickly as …
The Colour And The Shape
The Foo Fighters came about when the grunge band Nirvana ceased to be due to Kurt Cobain’s untimely death. I have always loved the Foo Fighters and the relationship to Nirvana has absolutely no bearing on my opinion of this cool band. I have seen them in concert as …
Led Zeppelin - The Lemon Song (Song)
The Lemon Song is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on their record Led Zeppelin II. The track starts off with a fairly slow riff coming from Page which sounds to be quite blues-rock influenced and the overall tempo of the song thus far seems to set up …
My Chemical Romance - To The End (Song)
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 …
Men Without Hats (music group)
As I mentioned in a couple other reviews, I like dance and electronic music. However, at one point in my life, I had a love for eighties dance and new wave music. Now most of what I would hear would be from listening to songs being played on the …
Ozzmosis, 1995 Album by Ozzy Osbourne
I probably would not have been prompted to write a review of this album in particular, if I hadn’t gotten to stumble upon quite negative reviews of this album online. If you go by the reviews that are online, you will definitely form the impression that this album is …
Gogol Bordello - Haltura (Song)
Haltura is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. The track opens up with a fairly vague atmosphere before a more definitive rhythm is established and the typical dance-feel rhythm of Gogol Bordello comes into play. One complaint I have against …

A Perfect Circle, Thirteenth Step
Starting with the album title, this CD has all the markings of a band that is representing a 12-step program. But, do not let that deter you from one of the best albums ever. Yes, I said ever.

“Murder Junkies” by GG Allin & ANTiSEEN (LP, 1991)
In 1991, GG Allin collaborated with ANTiSEEN, a prominent punk band of the day, to record “Murder Junkies”. Featuring one of GG Allin’s best backing bands and demonstrating GG Allin’s move toward crossover thrash, “Murder Junkies” is no doubt the best album in GG Allin’s discography.
The recording quality on …
System of a Down The Hypnotize Album
Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …
Myley Cyrus - 7 thing
For a young artist, miley cyrus is pretty talented, she can act and sing. First time I thought that she can’t sing, but after her song, I think its good enough though I don’t like her behaviour, her song is goog enough to listen. Like this one, seven things.
This song …

Animal Collective - Too Soon (Song)
Too Soon is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their fourth studio album entitled Here Comes The Indian. The impression I get from Too Soon is that Animal Collective yet again tries to recapture the relaxed sound that they had all throughout Campfire Songs …
The Stooges album “The Weirdness” (2006)
I didn’t think it was really fair to go posting this album review after only one listen (after all, this is The Stooges we’re talking about, not Gwen Stefani or something). Incidentally, after first listening to this record my friend and I also indulged …

The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting For The Man (Song)

Chasing Dixie
Everyone - I’m excited to review a new music group that includes Alaina Whitaker, Andrea Young, and Erin James; yup, Alaina is the Alaina from American Idol ! I wouldn’t compare them to the Dixie Chicks; though they have a similar name and numbers in the group. Alaina has …

Bone Thugs N Harmony: Creepin On Ah Come Up
Bone Thugs N Harmony’s Creepin On Ah Come up album is a hip hop classic and one of the best rap albums I have ever heard. From the intro with the devil laughing to the haunting singing of Bone Thugs, this album delivers the thug style. The hit song …
Freshly Ground Musical Group
The very first time I was exposed to the sounds of this Cape Town based band, I thought I was listening to the music of an international act, so good was the song —˜I’d like’, and when I later learned that it was a local group, my curiosity levels …

Cover your eyes, children, cover them tight. “Bump n’ Grind” is R. Kelly’s second single and music video from his first solo album (and second/sophmore album altogether) titled “12 Play”. This is entirely a concert music video, although it is much more clearer and …
Bob Dylan - The Ballad Of Ira Hayes (Song)

Sexy can I song by Ray J and Yung Berg
Sexy Can I by Ray J and Yung Berg is a cool song that you can play all day and just chill ton the beat. One day I listened to this song for three hours straight and I still wanted to hear it again. There are a few cuss …
Metallica - Trapped Under Ice (Song)
Contrasting with the preceding track, Fade To Black, Trapped Under Ice is an extremely aggressive Metallica track which I’m sure is pleasing to those listeners who criticized Fade To Black. The lyrics to Trapped Under Ice deal with basically a helpless, and quite dangerous, …
Metallica - Devil’s Dance (Song)
Devil’s Dance is a track by Metallica which appears on their second half of the double-record, Reload. I will be honest and admit that for the most part, I don’t like too many of the tracks on either Load or Reload, but I will say that I believe Devil’s …

Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …
The Beatles - Wait (Song)
Wait is a song by The Beatles which appears on their record Rubber Soul. The track opens up with the vocals coming first before the rest of the instrumentation coming in to join the vocals on the song. Though a listener can certainly hear the unique sound of the …

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 …

The Velvet Underground and Nico
I’m a great believer that it’s the little things in life that make us who we are. Little signposts that send us off in different directions. This is the album that played a big part in changing my life.
I’m 16, just bought this strange album with a …
