Music Reviews
Magical Trick Society
Honestly, I really dig this group. MTS is a doujin artist - in English, that basically means it’s a Japan-situated artist that arranges popular tunes with unique twists. Magical Trick Society in particular falls squarely in this genre - their arrangements of popular video game tunes have definitely not …
Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera (Song)
Phantom Of The Opera is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their self-titled debut record. The track starts off with a quick guitar riff, accompanied by Harris’ bass, which sounds great but leads into an even better riff which is more of a lead that goes right …
“Decade” An Album By Neil Young. Music
Neil Young is probaably one of the most famous artists in music today. Neil Young ha been around since the ’60’s and is one of the artist which I heard all the time growing up. My parents both love him and though I think that some of his songs …
James Ingram
James Ingram is one of a few male singers I admire. Everytime I hear any of his singles, it gives me the impression that he can sing any song no matter how difficult or challenging the notes could be. And his performance pays off the program that …
Howl 2005 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I think that Howl is a very strong album. This is an album, which has a very high emphasis on songs. By that I mean that, with many artists, they would have 10 or 15 songs on an album, and all the songs would sound very similar to each …
The Rolling Stones - Little By Little (Song)
Little By Little is a cover performed and recorded by The Rolling Stones which appears on their self-titled debut album. The track starts off with a guitar part along with a harmonica before Jagger comes in with the vocals of this track and sings in quite a blues-like delivery, …
Samsung YEPP MP3 Player

Sugarfoot Rag by John 5
If you like a guitar instrumentals and also like a style of bluegrass type playing with a side of Metal. Then check out John 5 most particularly Sugarfoot Rag off his album Vertigo. Ive always thought John 5 was a strange guy with his make up and being a …
Metallica - Seek And Destroy (Song)
Seek And Destroy, the penultimate track off of Kill —˜Em All, has to be one of the most well known songs from Metallica throughout their whole career and certainly, along with The Four Horsemen, the most well known song off of Kill —˜Em All. …
When You Say Nothing At All by Allison Krauss
When You Say Nothing At All is the best song that Allison Krauss ever recorded, in my opinion. It is the most amazing love song that you will ever hear. From lyrics to the beat, it is the most romantic song I can think of. She is telling her …

R. Kelly
“Thoia Thoing”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
“Thoia Thoing” is the third single and music video from R. Kelly’s 2003 solo album “Chocolate Factory”, it follows “Ignition (Remix)” and “Snake”. In “Ignition (Remix)”, he gave us another one of those generic Hip Hop party settings; in “Snake”, it was all about Egypt …
Natasha Beddingfield - Unwritten
‘Unwritten’ is the most my favorite song from Natasha Beddingfield. Everytime I listen this song, my feeling always happy and feel fresh to doing everything. This is a song that very good to declare as a happy spirit theme song for me.
The lyrics is very match with the music, …
Issues, 1999 Album by Korn
I think that the 1999 Issues is Korn’s greatest work. It is the first album by them that I got hold of, and I was strongly impressed by the music. I was rather young when I got a hold of this record, it was before their 2002 release Untouchables, …
The Canadian Brass: The Essential Canadian Brass CD
Several years ago, and actually probably longer than that, I was visiting a friend back east and he took me to a local Best Buy. It was actually the first Best Buy I was in, but while there we looked through the CD collection and I ended up …
The Flaming Lips - Staring At Sound/With You Reprise (Song)
Staring At Sound/With You (Reprise) is a song by The Flaming Lips and either the penultimate or final track on the band’s debut album, Hear It Is. While most copies of this album will have this song as the final track, early copies feature a bonus track entitled Summertime …
Bob Dylan - It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding (Song)
It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) is a song by Bob Dylan which is the penultimate track on his album Bringing It All Back Home, one of my favorite Dylan albums. I’ll say right now that you should get used to the opening guitar riff you hear on this …
U and Dat
U and Dat by E-40 is a dance song if you’ve ever heard one. I absolutely love this song because it is such a fun song. The words are not all clean but what do you expect with the culture of rap and R&B music now days. Almost every …
Metallica - (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth
Overview —“ (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth is the fifth song on the first album released by Metallica which strikes me as an extremely strange move to even include this song on their debut record. For those of you who don’t know what this track is, this will become very clear …
Album : John Waite - Rough & Tumble (2011)
As much as i respect John Waite and legacy he has left behind me so far, he isn’t one of my all-time favorites which means i can be properly subjective about his newly released album.
The short version of this is that i class it as a total disappointment, …
According to You by Singing Group Orianthi
This song says it all when it comes to how guys act when they decide they want an excuse to do something they shouldn’t be doing. They will find ways to treat their woman like junk and tell her she isn’t good at anything. This woman isn’t going to …
Madonna: True Blue
80s music had a distinctive sound to it, and no one was more pivotal in the 80’s then Madonna. She first sprang into the spotlight in the early 80s (83 I believe, with her first album) and by mid-80s was a household name. She has produced many albums, but …
David Archuleta
It is so amazing to be listening to David Archuleta singing on his debut CD. I am amused at first but when I listened to the tracks inside this pioneer CD of David Archuleta, I think that this young gentleman can go far with his mature voice. David …
The Flaming Lips - Oh, My Pregnant Head (Song)
Oh, My Pregnant Head is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Opening up in a very melodic fashion, the vocals don’t take very long to kick in with the rest of the band. What I particularly like about this …
Travie McCoy
This is one of the songs that you don’t like at the beginning but once you hear it the third time, you are instantly in love with the song. I love this song because of the beats and his voice. Travie McCoy’s voice really makes up the song. His …
The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Song)
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is one of the tracks from the White Album which I would define as being simply one of the most upbeat tracks throughout the entire record and one of the most cheerful sounding Beatles’ tracks which I’ve ever heard. Right from this description I would be assuming …
“I’ll Be Your Sunset” by A Rocket to the Moon
A very techno but soothing song. The vocals aren’t very focused on in here, instead it is more blended into the instrumentals, and it makes the mind serene. This is one of the few songs I approve of the use of auto-tuning, because of how capable of bringing us …
The Grateful Dead - Me & Bobby McGee (Song)
Me & Bobby McGee is a cover performed by The Grateful Dead which appears on their live album entitled Grateful Dead, otherwise known as Skull And Roses due to the iconic cover art of the record. The track starts off with a clean guitar pattern primarily in the right …
Geoff Bullock II
I do really love the music of Geoff Bullock II particularly his album “The Power of Your Love.” Listening to the album “Power of Your Love” will give you a one of a kind worship experience. The album is full of awesome and soul-reviving worship songs which include the …
Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure
This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …
“Bad Man” (2000): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Bad Man”
“Shaft”: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

It looks R. Kelly has fallen from his “I Believe I Can Fly” level of success. I mean how do you go from that to “Gotham City” and then to this? I mean hey, it’s not even like “I Believe I …
Album : The Who - Who’s Next (1971)
Well this review should be pretty easy, i mean who doesn’t like The Who? well, if anybody answered that question by saying something like “Yeah, i like their radio singles, but i don’t know about the rest of their stuff”. Now is the time explore some of their more …
She Wants Revenge
I am a huge fan of 80’s idie rock and alternative. Well, indie period. My favorite band is Depechmode, and for the first time I have found something that they can be compared to. Now I’m not saying they are equal, but almost and if you are a Depechmode …

Death Cab For Cutie - No Sunlight (Song)
No Sunlight is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their album Narrow Stairs. The track opens up with bass, guitar, and drums exchanging in an interesting enough rhythm before a piano also joins in with a subtle but incredibly helpful line. The vocals soon join …
Rolling Papers CD (Wiz Khalifa)
Rolling Papers is Wiz Khalifa’s big debut album. He released a few of the songs as singles before the release of the CD. That made it feel like I had already heard about half of the songs before he released it. The problem with that was that he had …
Singer Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley is no longer with us but he certainly is still a name that everyone recognizes. I remember as a child, listening to Elvis on my mother’s stereo. He was still alive and well, but he had gained quite a bit of weight by the time he passed …
Fender Frontman 65R: 65w Guitar Amplifier
One day while I was at Guitar Center, I was looking for a guitar amp to use in small gigs at my place and for recording. I needed something that could be turned up extremely loud without any static, cracking, or risk of breaking. It also needed to produce …
Metallica - Overkill (Song)
Overkill is a cover performed by Metallica which appears on their album full of covers, both old covers and newly recorded covers, Garage, Inc. Overkill is just one of I believe four Motorhead covers which Metallica chose to end this record with, and like the other three it seems …

Candy Shop song by Madonna
This song is from Madonna’s new album. It’s one of my favorite songs right now. Other than the song four minutes it’s my favorite on the album. It’s a good song to dance to and to sing to. I really like it because you can dance and sing to …
The Saturdays Just can’t get enough EP (Comic Relief)
The Saturdays are a relatively new band which has already made some chart topping hits. Most noticeably is their new EP “Just can’t enough” I at first wasn’t all that too sure if it would be a”hit” and a great rendition to the original from dépêche mode. Never the less …
The Game : “The Doctors Advorcate”
The second cd by rapper “The Game” was titled “The Doctors Advorcate” but the title was deceptive since it included no tracks which were actually produced by Doctor Dre. The cd included the single “One Blood” which became a hit on the streets of New York and LA almost …
Album : Eddie Spaghetti - Sundowner (2011)
Though my affection to country music is quite minimal, there has always been a few artists that sprout up and hold my attention in the genre. Johnny Cash is one, Paul Thorn is another and recently ex Hootie & The Blowfish vocalist Darius Rucker released a great country tinged …
Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 by Shakira
I bought this yesterday, as it was a new released album, and I love Shakira, the artiste, who is like Latin’s version of Beyonce. I bought it for about $14+, and on the cover of this album is a picture of a beautiful Shakira, carrying an infant on …

Break Free by Hillsongs
A very fast song from the start as the lead guitar pumps up the volume of the praise song and as Joel Houston sings. He was sounding hoarse voice here but it is still okay because he is doing it with all his heart and what his soul can …
Sunshine
The song ‘Sunshine’ is a simple sort of song performed by John Denver. It has a very good melody that makes you want to sing along. It reminds me of camping along side of a lake and waking to the sun rising over the water. Then when it rises …
Linkin Park
Linkin Park is no doubt one of the best Rock Bands ever, as far as I am concerned, of course. Their songs left a mark in me, to this time I still have a couple of their old songs and I just never get tired of their song. Their …
