Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

Opening up with a synthesizer intro that drags on for about two minutes, Ahhh Good Country then goes on in this instrumental fashion for about another minute before the vocal performance finally …

Wow! I can’t say that word enough when it comes to Soundgarden’s debut album, Ultramega OK. The band that blew the door down with this powerful, 13 track album. If you’re into rock at all, then this is the album to start your collection with.
With powerful and meaningful songs …

For starters, I’m not a fan of pop music. But I am a dancer. So of course I’m inclined to dance to pop music every once in awhile. I picked up Britney Spear’s album “Circus” and the best song on there is clearly “Mannequin.” It’s …

Erich Kunzel: Star Tracks II CD is a very nice compilation of various science fiction compositions. Kunzel and his Cincinnati Pops Orchestra are so good at conveying the spirit and excitement of the TV shows and/or movies the selections are from.

The song talks about how great …

Kids is a song by MGMT which appears on their second album, Oracular Spectacular. I’m sure that just about anyone who listens to modern radio has heard this song at least once, starting with the very distinct and recognizable synthesizer opening. I will admit that Kids is a fun …

The video clip to the music Face of Love - Wajah Kekasih by Siti Nurhaliza is pretty eerie. In it, Siti wore this particular long and draggy over-sized white long dress and with hair that were let go, and it was such a scary sight.
But she was …

Diamond Joe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. Right from the opening section of this track, Dylan’s vocal tone really doesn’t appeal to me very much but then again he went through a long period where his vocal …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

In 1982, Los Angeles-based deathrock band Christian Death released their groundbreaking debut record, “Only Theatre of Pain”. With its innovative Goth/Punk sound, dark atmosphere, pessimistic lyrics, and Rozz Williams’ distressed vocal style, the record would go on to be called the definitive deathrock album.
The album’s style is a …

“Your and Your Hand” by Pink has to be one of the catchiest songs I have heard on the radio in the past few years. At first I thought it was Kelly Clarkson, but realized it was Pink. I should have figured Ms. Clarkson wouldn’t want to ruin …

Rock music seems to have sprouted an absolute ton of different genres over the years, and one of these more current genres is the mixing of a metal like sound with a younger, almost pop sounding singer. Most of the time, it creates music that seems out of place …

Justin Timberlake’s “Justified” is a pretty good album, in my opinion. I was a huge fan of N’Sync back in the day so I will be the first person to tell you how much I hated the thought of any of the five members of that boy band becoming …

My view on this album is quite different from that of most people and music critics. I read online that some included this album in their lists of the best albums of all time. But I personally do not understand what could make this album so appealing, so magnificent. …
