With “Still Life”, Opeth expanded on their musical musings by infusing a much more Progressive sound with Death Metal, Folk and minor Jazz infusions, throwing them in a blender and funneling the resulting substance through masterful musicianship and impeccable song writing. The end result is “Still Life”, Opeth’s fourth …

Blackout is the fifth studio album by Britney Spears. It is one of her most successful studio albums. It has more r&b and urban sound with the collobration of Danja.

One of my new favorite songs off of the new Slash album is By the Sword. The track features Wolfmother singer and guitarist Andrew Stockdale. I think Slash did a good job on having him sing for this song. It really fits his style as a rock vocalist …

This song is excellent we can’t deny that. Actually, this song has been recommended as one of the top 10 graduation song of all time. The message of the song allows us to reflect on how we deal with separation. Some may ask why is it suitable for a graduation …

One of my guilty pleasures is listening to dance music rave, euro-dance and euro-pop from the nineteen nineties. I guess it’s a little strange judging from my personality and my other likes and dislikes, but I believe it stems from me hearing it so much, and liking the dance …

On some levels it is probably difficult to admit it, but, looking back at this album, and comparing it to the albums that Radiohead afterwards, this album indeed comes off rather badly. I personally think that this album is quite weak. And it is my mature opinion, which is …

Brockhampton isn’t what you would normally expect from a boy band. Before listening, I didn’t know what to expect from the guys, since this was my first time listening to them. I was recently trying to expand the kind of music that I listen to, so I decided that …

As a big fan of international music, I try to expand my collection every so often with a “big hit” CD that I’ll have hours of enjoyment listening to. It’s a much better experience when I’m able to discover a CD that contains lots of different voices, tons of …

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 …

Overview - Obscured By Clouds, yet another of Pink Floyd’s efforts, is an album that tries to balance out instrumentals with more traditional songs. Personally, I give credit to Pink Floyd for putting four instrumentals on this album, two of them to open the record. Besides the four instrumentals, …

Dolly Parton is so much more than just a country music singer. She is an actress and all around fun and happy person that deserves all the wonderful things that she has in her life. She is an endearing person who has been known for her rather large bosom …

The first time when I heard of the singer Patty Smyth was when I heard a song from her in the nineteen nineties when I was still a child. I remember it was one of my favourite songs at the time, but I could never seem to hear it …

This 1998 album is the 7th album by Sepultura and the first to feature vocalist Derrick Green who replaced Max Cavalera. Green does a fine job, maybe even better than Max, this album is better than anything Max Cavalera’s side project Soulfly has ever done. This album uses Japanese …

BoA- White Wishes song has been out since 2009. I was first introduced to it when I was watching music videos online. When I first heard the song I was amazed. It’s instrumentals and her voice reminded me of a fantasy world. Her voice was gentle but yet strong. …

Everyone seems to love Taylor Swift these days, including me. But I liked her before she got big, when she first came out with songs like “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on my Guitar”. On Taylor Swift’s new CD, she has this song called “Forever and Always”. If you get …

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 …

One of my most anticipated album release this year is probably Halsey’s “BADLANDS”. Just so you guys know, BADLANDS is a concept album that talks about the bad sides of a human being, hence the title.
Halsey (real name Ashley) is an up and coming artist, she’s mostly alternative …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

This guy is awesome. If you don’t remember, he’s the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish. He came out with a country album and it’s amazing, simply amazing. His voice is so on the money; it’s unique and beautiful and rich. I really and truly do not like country …

There was a time when Alabama ruled the airwaves of country music and Alabama: When It All Goes South CD displays one of the reasons why. The title track itself has always made me chuckle since it starts with a scratch of music from Alabama with another song. …

I’ve tried listening to this album dozens of times at different intervals over the last few years to see if …

This is Pantera’s second album, the title comes from the movie The Exorcist. Released in 1992 and produced by Terry Date again, this album is far more aggressive than the last, tighter, darker, faster, and I don’t think it could have been much heavier. Mouth for war opens the …

California Gurls video is sweet. It has a lot of candies, jelly, chocolate and sexy girls. According to my research, the video is inspired by the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. Actually Katy looks like Alice that is wandering in Wonderland. I had fun …
