I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …

I first came across the female musician called St.Vincent when she was a guest, along with David Byrne, on the Colbert Report. David Byrne is the leader of the legendary band Talking Heads, and I have been quite familiar with their music for years, while St.Vincent was an attractive …

Harvester Of Sorrow, the sixth track off of And Justice For All, is a track which I initially never liked very much but now have come to gain at least a bit more appreciation for the track. I think that the main problem I had with Harvester Of Sorrow …

Suicide And Redemption, Metallica’s fourth instrumental of their career and penultimate track on Death Magnetic, is similar to The Unforgiven III in the sense that it has some truly brilliant parts but also some parts which just aren’t so good. I’ll start with my complaints against the track. My …

I sing a variety of songs, from 50’s …

The Mirror Has Two Faces CD is the soundtrack for the movie of the same name which starred Barbra Streisand and Jeff Bridges. It’s a love story about two very unlikely lovers. It’s about beauty, inside and outside, and the notes of the instrumentals reflect that beautifully.
Streisand …

This album is the closest thing to musical perfection in rock and metal that I’ve heard in a long time. Personally, I think that this is a musical masterpiece from Mushroomhead. The first track, “Kill Tomorrow”, begins slow and steady with Jeffrey Nothing’s vocal starting as well. Then the …

The first song I listened to by country artist Billy Currington was Must Be Doing Something Right. I fell in love with Billy’s original, soothing voice. When I have to come up with a word to describe Billy’s voice, I would have to say sexy. Not in a weird …

I love James Darren. He’s in my top group of performers since childhood and I love his singing. I really don’t remember what I saw him in first, but he made an adorable Moondoggie, singing “Gidget” to Sandra Dee.
In his era of the teen idols, the late …

The Album believe by Justin Bieber was the turning point in his career. This album was intended to show the singer leaving his childhood, sweet school romance styled music behind, and into a life of a teen/adult. Though many people were unsure this would work, I have to Personally …

Ghosts Of War is a song by Slayer which appears on their record South Of Heaven. The song starts off with a very fast riff and an aggressive drum pattern as well, although I do have to admit that the actual tone on the instruments leaves something to be …

“Thinking of You” is a music video by Katy Perry that, to me, signifies most of all that she has grown up as an artist. She has come a long way from her bubble gum pop roots of “I Kissed a Girl” and “Ur So Gay”. Thinking of You …

Back Pack is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears as the fourth track on their record Knife Man. Opening up with a brooding rhythm guitar, the vocals come in soon enough and I would characterize this song as having more of a ballad feeling. Although the previous …

This album was anticipated by most of …

Burton’s movies, while not perfect adaptations of Batman, did get quite a bit right. Burton did have a solid understanding of the dynamics between characters. It’s true Joker did not really kill Bruce’s parents, but I understand why they set it up that way. While he …

I am amazed at just how low the general rating for this album has been so far across the internet. I think it may have something to do with the hipsters being disappointed that another one their underground indie bands are making a push for commercial success. I don’t …

Subliminal-just when you thought it was over
Subliminal’s new/ not so new album is something that was destined to get mixed reviews. On one hand, he continues his legacy of excellence and presents us with well crafted and executed songs. On the other hand, it is clear that …

Cotton Eye Joe was a popular dance track in the 1990’s by the band called The Rednex, which as their name suggests, they take upon the gimmick of that of a redneck. Country music, hillbilly blues and some classic techno dance beats! What more can a music fan ask …

I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …

Overview —“ Fuel, probably the most aggressive and fastest songs from either Load of Reload, is the opening track to Reload. I have to admit that I feel bad to the people who started to listen to Reload and then heard this track as the first song and then …

When I stepped out of the warm summer night into the Pearl Street Nightclub in the quaint village of Northampton, Massachusetts, my expectations were set at an unattainable height, as if I were entering the gates of Max Yasgur’s farm in August of ‘69. I was, however, not entering …

Addict is a song by Slayer which starts off with a clean guitar playing an eerie sounding riff along with a simple drum pattern. This eerie atmosphere is nothing all that special but I like that it’s something different than Slayer’s typical just extremely fast and heavy tone, which …

The roaring sound of thousands (or even millions) of fans of the most popular folk band of the decade might be deafening, #BringBackTheBanjo even trended in Twitter when they released the first taste of their electrified change.

A friend of mine who decided that they were going to get me hooked to indie pop music as well, decided that they were going to introduce me to an Australian indie pop band called “The Lucksmiths”. I think that they started their band in the nineteen nineties or …

The Way You Look Tonight is a song that Rod Stewart recorded much later in his career when he had a strong foothold on his audience. He became a much more mellow singer as he grew a bit older and the songs that he sings will melt the heart …

It is a very good idea of the organizers or whoever they call to compile the 2nd version soundtrack title, High School Musical 2. I find arrangement truly amazing and this soundtrack is something that I always put on and listen to while cooking, doing some exercises or …

For the band Skid Row, their image may be best defined by their larger-than-life frontman Sebastian Bach and his powerful, soaring screams but one cannot dismiss the fact that the band’s over-all sound is the key ingredient in
making Skid Row one of the most noted rock outfit to ever …

I find this debut album title, Little Voice by Sara Bareilles not that bad. I think young singers nowadays are awesome and that they have a very good quality-like voice. She sounds very nice and lithe-like, and almost like a soothing gentle kind of music and believe it …

This album was released very recently - just on the 17th of April. I am a huge fan of all of Dar Williams’ music, but, although I had very high expectations, I was not at all disappointed.
As with all of this unique singer songwriter’s music, each song is completely …

B.Y.O.B. the opening track of System Of A Down’s double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize is what I would consider to be among their most aggressive work throughout the past few records. The song opens up with a guitar riff by Malakian which is quite aggressive and quick before giving way to …
