Weezer - Tired Of Sex (Song)

Album : New York Dolls - Dancing Backwards In High Heels

Metallica - Fade To Black (Song)
Fade To Black, the ballad of Ride The Lightning, is certainly the song where I believe Metallica truly proved that they were much more than a thrash band from the 1980s who were completely driven by energy. I feel like the progression and development …
Slow Motion Life, part one - Nine Days album
Earlier this year, Nine Days fans finally got what they were much anticipating — new music from their favorite band. With their own record label, the band put 6 songs as part one of an album called “Slow Motion Life.” I have gotten the impression that the …
Megadeth - Into The Lungs Of Hell (Song)

Enter Shikari - Take to the Skies (Album)
Not usually my cup of tea this. It’s more a bitter dark and strong coffee that you could stand a spoon up in … I really dislike the taste of coffee.
So it’s not something I would knowingly drink. Or, to cut the waffle (and terrible metaphor) short: It’s not …

Metallica - Holier Than Thou (Song)
Holier Than Thou, the third song off The Black Album, is certainly much more aggressive than the previous two tracks of Sad But True and Enter Sandman. Although the aggression and speed of Holier Than Thou doesn’t match the first four records, it’s probably one of the more aggressive …
Godspeed You Black Emperor
Together with Mogwai back in the early 1990s, Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the team of musicians that made post-rock into a musical genre of its own, taking a bit of influence from a bands like Slint and Savage Republic. They have never declared themselves as a “band” by …

Ratatat - Seventeen Years (Song)

Scars On Broadway - Enemy (Song)
Enemy is a track by Scars On Broadway which shows up on their self-titled debut record. Enemy starts off with a very light guitar riff which is dominated by a wah effect and certainly has sort of a dancing, or at least moving, rhythm to it. Something notable on …

Darius Rucker
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 …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
Chemicals is a track by Scars On Broadway which is on their self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that although I like the song itself, I’m not a huge fan of the studio version and would certainly recommend a live version over the studio version. Throughout this entire …
Queen - This Could Be Heaven - Single
This seemed to be quite a heartfelt song from Freddie and Queen. His vocals seem quite relaxed certainly at the start but you can feel him building.
What he songs is very true. It’s as though he just can’t believe how people act on earth. What I do find interesting …

Justin Bieber My World 2.0 -
Ok now allot of guys are probably thinking “EW.” but seriously if you look at it from a musical standpoint the album isn’t THAT bad. I know that girls overrate him and guys underestimate him but if we all look at it from the same point, you will see …
The Yamaha DGX 305 Portable Grand

Type O Negative Bloody Kisses
The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …

Anita Baker (singer)
Back in the nineteen nineties when I was a child, Anita Baker’s songs would play a lot on the radio. Since they would play so often, I ended up disliking her music then, and also thinking of it as being boring. However, it has only been recently since I …
Status Quo - You’re In The Army Now - Single
I heard this track the other day, can’t remember where now, but it took me back years to when my mum and dad used to listen to Status Quo and I remembered how much I love this song.
Perhaps it has extra relevance to me now as my friend is …
Awolnation (electronic rock band)

Handshakes at Sunrise - Circa Survive
As one of the earliest songs from Circa Survive, “Handshakes at Sunrise” remains one of my favorites, if only for its sentimental value. Displaying a sound that would become standard for the band, you get a feel for where they started, and how the sound of their early music …
Sucioperro - a Scottish band
Sucioperro is a band from Ayrshire, Scotland in the UK. If you like rip-roaring indie-rock with a bit of funky soul then I’ve no doubt that you will love this band. That may sound like an odd description for a band’s sound but honestly it’s accurate. They are …

It’s the sequel to “Fiesta”, it’s another “Four Page Letter” from Aaliyah, no wait, it’s “Slow Wind”! The third single and music video from R. Kelly’s solo album TP3 Reloaded, following “Trapped in the Closet” and “Playas Only”. It looks almost like a watered down …
