Lip gloss by Lil Mamma is a song about how this girl is uncool and then her lip gloss gets her into the cool club because it’s cool. This song is awesome in some ways because it’s all about lip gloss and I don’t know any song that is …

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, a track written primarily by John Lennon for The Beatles’ record Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band would have to be one of the more psychedelic tracks which the band has written, or at least one of the tracks most heavily associated with …

The song ‘My home’s in Alabama’ is by the group Alabama. It is a good song that makes you think of home where ever that may be. For me it reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was a kid and the fact that we …

This is the band’s debut album, released in 2000 of Ferret Records and produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. The album is a really impressive debt from the band, several of the songs Temple From Within, Without A Name, and Vida Infra appear on the bands future album Alive Or …

“And So I Know” is a track off of the Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop album released in 1996. Not only do I find this song adversely different from the other tracks on this album, but I also find it to be very relaxing and quite …

When I first heard of Katy Perry’s Firework, I thought it is just another teenage song and so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But yesterday, my brother showed me a video he made using that song, and I was moved by the lyrics. Contrary to what I …

Overview —“ Warning, the second music video released by Green Day for support of the album of the same name is another music video where Green Day once again demonstrate their sense of humor. I have to say that I’m really not a huge fan of the entire Warning …

Just is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second album, The Bends. The track opens up briefly with an acoustic guitar pattern which continues playing despite a lead guitar part coming in over it which creates an interesting sound. I must say that I wished Radiohead would …

When I think about all the single mothers in the world, I begin to think about my own mother. After she left my father, it was just me and my sisters and her living in this apartment that I can remember like it was yesterday. I was too young …

Holiday, the third track of American Idiot, obviously isn’t as complex or developed as the previous track, Jesus Of Suburbia, but is nevertheless a pretty good song in my opinion. I stated in my review of American Idiot that the title track may not be exactly what Green Day …

Cannibal (2006) is the fifth album by Static-X and in my opinion the band’s most aggressive and best album yet, while many bands in their position would make a horrible experimental album, Static-X makes an even heavier album, with better guitar solos, and a faster tempo. The album was …

Everyone goes through their phases where they are obsessed with that one song and are afraid that because they are listening to it so much, that they might end up just getting sick of the song. Well, I am currently obsessed with this song and have been for a …

The Black Keys, a blues rock duo out of Ohio, has been releasing records since the early 2000’s, but truly broke through to mainstream success with the release of 2010’s “Brothers.” A good friend of mine, who’s gotten me into countless bands, turned me onto the Keys years back, …

You probably know Joe Budden from his hit singles “Pump It Up” and “Calm Down” which are included in his debut self titled cd released by Def Jam Records in 2003. Since then he has released almost no new material until he released his Mood Musik 2 mixtape …

Overview - Another Side Of Bob Dylan, Dylan’s fourth effort, continues in his traditional style of having excellent lyrics, basic instrumentation, and not so great vocal delivery. Despite the flaws in his voice, Dylan is really able to compensate for his lyrical talent, which is something he really showcases …

The song walk over you is one of AC/DC’s songs that have a lot of aggression in. This song off the album Highway to Hell would have to be one of my favorites on the album. The intro is made up of slow distortion power chords played by …

Rihanna’s 7th album to date, she gifts us with the title “Unapologetic”. Although there’s no track in the album under the same title, I believe the theme is based around that title. Following the hype and promotion of this album, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. I …

Distance is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad and is the fifth song on their 2011 release, Knife Man. Opening up with a fast and aggressive rhythm guitar part, the song reminds me far more of the second track on the record, The Gift Of The Magi 2, far …

This song is such a feel good dance song. I originally looked it up because one of my favourite music artist said it was his current favourite song. Now I look way past that and question why I did not know this song before! It is a combination between …

Machine is Static-X’s second album, released in May of 2001 on Warner Bros Records. The album introduction starts with a sound that makes you think you may have the wrong album, and then picks up big time with Get To The Gone, Permanence, Black And White, This Is Not, …

I was/am a big No Doubt fan. I’m from the camp that enjoyed Gwen’s pink hair days (even though, yes, it signified a troubled rift between her and then-boyfriend Gavin Rossdale). “Return of Saturn” is my favorite album of theirs and I play it when I’m feeling especially nostalgic… …

Til I Forget About You is what really made me like Big Time Rush. Being one of the first songs I heard by them, I am not easy to please with music by all means but by the second time I was listening to this song I loved it! …

I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what this song is really about. When I read the lyrics, I think about death. The blue moon reference, and “take me up in your arms” line makes me think that the lead singer is embracing …

Sun King is a song by The Beatles which appears on their album Abbey Road. The track opens up with a clean guitar riff which has a very nice melodic feel to it as the other instruments gradually join in to create a very calming and mellow atmosphere. The …

For the past couple of months David Nail has been helping me past some really difficult things in my life. This includes accepting change.

Bad Crumbs is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. Placing the vocals in the spotlight, Bad Crumbs features several layers of vocals which do an interesting job of creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere, but I find the music behind the vocals to …

Know Your Enemy is a song by Green Day which appears on their record 21st Century Breakdown. As a note, this was the first single to be released in promotion of this record so you can expect a pretty catchy, and straightforward, track. The song starts off with a …

Another talented person in my eyes would be Tracy Chapman. You just need to listen to Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman to know that she is a real singer and the real deal. Most of her songs are about life and love in general and sometimes about …

Meshuggah is not a household name. Most people will go through their lives never hearing about an experimental Math/Metal band named Meshuggah. They are from Sweden, and are hailed as the Math/Metal gods(aside from Tool). Meshuggah are known for their complex, mind numbing time signatures, and their brutal almost …

Across The Universe is a track by The Beatles which appears on their final record, Let It Be. Across The Universe starts out with a pretty stripped down instrumentation, just Lennon and an acoustic guitar, and it’s pretty much like this throughout the entire track although some other sounds, …

ALIVE II
Haven’t we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than ‘live’ like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can’t …

The first time I heard this song was when I was nine and you would not imagine that age I certainly understood what this song is all about. Don’t forget me is an old song coming from Captain and Tennille the husband and wife team. This is a good …

Wow! What can I say? This music video in my opinion is one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. It’s just so unique and fun and it’s everything. First of all, WOW! I could never in a million years thought that this would be the type of …

This is the fourth album by the international successful pop group the Backstreet Boys. This is also their last album before the group broke up (before the current re-union). I have really waited for that album, thinking about how wonderful it was going to be. I must mention that …

If I were a record company executive, I would definitely sign up Kenyan rock band Murfy’s Flaw. Three things make this band appealing to me. First of all, five out of six of the band members are female. Being female myself, I can only celebrate this fact since the …

Hail to the Thief is a really good record. I personally see this album as a return to form for Radiohead after some slightly dodgy albums, like Kid A and Amnesiac, in particular Amnesiac. The problem with those two albums, from my personal point of view, is that, when …

Two Sails On A Sound is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth studio album, Here Comes The Indian. Beginning in a manner which is characteristic to this album, Animal Collective take their time in establishing an introduction before going into any bulk of the song. …

I have been a casual fan of X Ambassadors ever since their sleeper hit “Renegades” started taking off early this year. In fact if you look at the reviews I made for this very site, then you’ll see that I’ve reviewed “Renegades” too. Side note: I still love that …

If you remember the Hot Fuss, the debut album from The Killers, released in 2004, would you mind addressing the songs from the band, who came from Las Vegas, which affected the New Wave and Britpop, while Brandon Flowers (vocals), sing with a fake English accent, ironically it is …

I first was acquainted with Taylor Swift’s music through her single You Belong with Me. I kept hearing it over the radio and I thought it was a catchy song. I am no teenybopper but somehow it was not long before the single appealed to me. …

A while back I found out about The Close Lobsters through Pandora radio. Basically they are an indie pop rock band from Scotland. I actually wrote a review on here for one of there songs which was “I Kissed the Flowers in Bloom” which is an excellent song. “Going …

Shortie like mine is a song by bow wow ft. Chris brown is a song about how this guy is saying that there is no other girl like his girl in the whole world. He says his girl is one of a kind and he loves her or just …

I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …

East 1999 Eternal is one of the best albums ever created. And it is the best album recorded by rap group Bone Thugs N Harmony. They have a very magickal and sinister sound on this album. I really enjoyed the fast paces raps and haunting vocals they used on …
