Iron Maiden - Blood On The World’s Hands (Song)
Blood On The World’s Hands is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record The X Factor. The track starts off with a keyboard part which establishes somewhat of an eerie mood to the track and makes me hopeful that the song will build. I’m not exactly …

Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton
I love the song, Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton very much! Paris looks so adorable in the music video and if I’m right, this is one of the first few videos that she has released. Not sure which music record company she’s under, but if it’s …
Megadeth - Mastermind (Song)
Mastermind is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Cryptic Writings. The song opens up with a heavy guitar part before giving way to a nice bass fill with the guitar rhythm coming back in and out. The guitar itself soon doubles up on this bass fill …
Animal Collective - People (Song)
People is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their 2006 EP of the same name. Taking about a minute to introduce the track, a heavy percussive rhythm enters the song after about a minute in which gives the song a more definitive rhythm and I’m currently liking …
Weezer - Knock-Down Drag-Out (Song)
Knock-Down Drag-Out is a song by Weezer which appears on one of their self-titled albums, otherwise known as The Green Album. The track starts out with a very catchy vocal melody and this doesn’t let up anywhere throughout the song. The songwriting on this track is very basic, it’s …
The Last Goodbye- Mckenzie Comer
I know many people have not heard of McKenzie, well this girl has an incredible future ahead of her. She is a fourteen year old Aussie singer, with a voice that could move moutains. She has not gotten an offical record label to sign her yet but she has …
The Who - Tommy (Side IV)
Overview —“ Side IV of Tommy wraps up the story of the character and closes the album, one brilliant piece of work. On first impression, I thought that Tommy had some nice tracks and had an interesting story, but after closer listen —“ this album is probably the best …
Iida 5-String Banjo
I purchased the Iida 5-String Banjo in 1974. This particular model is not for beginners but at the same time its not a high end instrument. I’ve used it for 35 years playing it for family, friends, and on stage professionally. The banjo features a heavy mahogany resonator, steel …
Metallica - Broken, Beat, And Scarred (Song)
Broken, Beat, and Scarred, the third track off of Death Magnetic continues the pattern of songs which sound a lot closer to tracks which Metallica were writing during their earlier days, the 1980s and very early 1990s. Broken, Beat, and Scarred has somewhat of an eastern sound to it …
The Beatles - Good Night (Song)
Good Night is a song by The Beatles which is the final track on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Good Night opens up with this very majestic sounding string section which has this very corny sound to it to be honest but I know this is what …

Cracker - Low (Song)
“Low” is the number 1 single by the band Cracker. I’m actually kind of surprised that nobody has written a review for such a memorable and catchy song already. “Low” single handedly brought recognition for the band Cracker and significantly boosted their record sales for their 1993 album “Kerosene …

“Be Without You”
“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
Every since I can remember, I have been a fan–I use the term loosely–of Mary J. Blige’s music. I say I use the term loosely because I don’t really consider myself a fan: Fans stand out in the rain for concert tickets; fans plaster …
Like Only a Woman Can by Brian McFadden
“Like Only a Woman Can” is a song by Brian McFadden, released in 2007. It is one of the singles of the album “Set in Stone”. I’ve been a big Westlife fan since I was still in grade two. I was so frustrated upon the band’s breaking. However, I’m …

Animal by Ke$ha
There are certain recording artists whose music is criticized by many of the people who consider their own taste in music to be very well refined. Ke$ha so happens to be one of those artists. As a pop star, she has found a lot of success, but she has …
Beat It (song, Fall Out Boy feat. John Mayer)
I love the remake of this song by Fall Out boy and John Mayer which was originally sung by Michael Jackson.

Michelle by Ben Harper
Artist: Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals
Like a lot of people said reviving Beatles’ song is such a scary thing because not only you need to make a good rendition but also the tendency to ruin an already perfect song.
True in fact that I have heard lots of Beatles’ …
Gojira : From Mars To Sirius
France was not always romantic as we think. Although the region is not an area of rock music popular such as Sweden or Germany in the internationally. Everything will change when Gojira present as the antithesis of fashion, perfume, and synth-pop. From Mars To Sirius contains twelve songs with …

Concert on DVD: Madonna Sticky & Sweet Tour
My wife were watching our nightly episode of the show Destination Truth on Netflix Instant Watch last night and, when it was done, realized it wasn’t even 9 yet. Since it was too early to go to bed, we looked for something else to watch.
At first, I thought we …

Serj Tankian’s Elect the Dead Album
After System of a Down broke up, the lead singer Serj Tankian decided to do his own solo album and after a bit of a wait, we got Elect the Dead. In all honestly, while I would have preferred a regular System of a Down album over this, this …

Forgetful Heart is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Together Through Life. Though the music at the start of this track doesn’t go on for too long, I do enjoy the mood it establishes and I think that it fits perfectly with the tone and …
Hollywood Undead “Swan Songs” album
Hollywood Undead released their debut album “Swan Songs” in August 2008. It’s hard to describe their music genre, as they pull from so many different styles. They are most commonly referred to as rap rock, but I feel their music goes so beyond that label.
The …

Green Day “21st Century Breakdown”

Meshuggah Catch Thirty-Three CD
