Music Reviews
Nine Inch Nails - Head Down (Song)
Head Down is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their record The Slip. The track opens up with a slightly sloppy sounding drum and bass part along with a distorted guitar joining in, I’m not sure that sloppy is the most accurate word to be using …
Bob Dylan - Gates Of Eden (Song)
Gates Of Eden is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on the album Bringing It All Back Home, one of my personal favorite albums from Dylan. I’ll just point out right now that the final four tracks of this record are just brilliant: Mr. Tambourine Man, Gates Of …
Where is the love (Black Eyed Peas)
Where is the love is a suprisingly good song from Black Eyed Peas. In saying this I am not implying that I am suprised that Black Eyed Peas can produce a song of decent standard, I am sure they are a group of highly talented individuals, I am merely …
Timbaland and Magoo
Timbaland and Magoo is one of the coolest rap groups from the 90s era of rap. They had some really cool beats that were really unique and one of a kind. I really do think that all the lyrics that Timbaland and Magoo used to rap about were really good. …
‘Thinking Of You” by Katy Perry
This my favorite Katy Perry’s song. And she wrote it! She is so talented and amazing. I didn’t thought she could write a very good song like this. Now I know she’s really a talented woman.
Thinking Of You is for all the girls who lost their boyfriends, either died …
The Best Of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special! Original TV Soundtrack
The Best Of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special! Original TV Soundtrack is a soundtrack that I was disappointed in somewhat. I think several musical pieces are more deserving to be on this soundtrack than what was ultimately decided on and I would not consider this soundtrack to represent the …
The Grateful Dead - In The Dark
Overview - In The Dark, The Grateful Dead’s twelfth effort, is overall just an album that I consider average. I’ll be honest say that there are a few good songs on here, and the opening track really left me hopeful for the rest of the album but I was …
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror (Song)
Black Mirror is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second release, Neon Bible. For a fan who has only heard this band’s first release, Funeral, I will say that the overall sound on Black Mirror is going to strike you as very odd because of how …
Green Day - Extraordinary Girl (Song)
The first thing I want to say is that Extraordinary Girl actually has an introduction which you couldn’t have predicted and I simply have to praise Green Day for this. I know that in a lot of the songs I’m reviewing for this record I’m saying that they’re predictable …
Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door
Overview - In Through The Out Door, Led Zeppelin’s final effort before the death of their drummer John Bonham, is an album that I would to say is simply average at best. The album does have some good work, at least good parts, but overall the album really isn’t …
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (Song)
Behind Blue Eyes is a song by The Who which appears on their record Who’s Next. Unlike the traditional rock and roll sound that The Who had throughout their career, Behind Blue Eyes is certainly a ballad which carries with it a much different atmosphere and mood compared to …
Animal Collective - Baleen Sample (Song)
Baleen Sample is a song by Animal Collective and the third track on their 2005 EP, Prospect Hummer. I should mention from the start that this is the only song on the EP on the record to not feature the vocals of Vashti Bunyan, so the band have to …
Pirates of the Carribean ultimate swashbuckler collection
After listening to the Pirates of the Carribean Ultimate Swashbuckler collection CD that came with our Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man’s Chest DVD, I can understand why they chose to give it away rather than sell it.
While it is a good historical account of the songs pirates often …
Evol, 1986 Album by Sonic Youth
I am sure that there would be people out there, who, when subjected to the music of this album by Sonic Youth, would find it almost ugly. But I personally find it very beautiful indeed. And I think that it is a matter of being able to see this …
Damien Rice CD
This CD was recommended to me by a friend, I bought it and loved the CD, so I am writing this review in the hope that others will buy it and love it too.
First off it has to be said that there are many singer songwriters out there …
Animal Collective - Moo Rah Rah Rain (Song)
Moo Rah Rah Rain is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate track on their third studio release, Campfire Songs. Opening up with an almost tribal-like vocal pattern, the band is able to establish a mood which is unique from the previous three tracks before the acoustic …
MFEO by Kavana
MFEO by Kavana is very catchy and I used to listen to this particular track over and over again after I came back from school.
I even bought Kavana’s single of MFEO. Yes, such was my craziness during those times and I would smile whenever I think about …
Timbaland feat. Katy Perry - If I Ever See You Again (Music)
I love Timbaland, and he’s always so sensual and melodramatic sometimes when it comes to his songs but they’re really wholesome, and when I heard Katy Perry was going to sing her too I was very ecstatic as I love her, and although they might have come off as …
Korn band
I first discovered the band Korn in I think about 2000. It was when had seen the video for Freak on a Leash on MTV, and I remember thinking it was the heaviest type of rock music I had ever heard. I thought the video was amazing and mystifying …
The Flaming Lips - Unplugged (Song)
Unplugged is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hear It Is. Interestingly enough, the track opens up with a distorted guitar riff which actually has a pretty driving sound to it, certainly not the sound that the Flaming Lips would come to be known …
In This Skin
After achieving success with Sweet Kisses, Jessica Simpson, appeared with Sweetest Sin on the album titled, In This Skin. More exciting and more excited. Great formula of imitating other singers such as Kylie Minogue, she hummed songs expertly. As a happy wife of Nick Lachey, in this album, Jessica …
Kayne West Flashing Lights
I am a serious fan of Kayne West, as many other people are also. I really lovve his song Flashing Lights, there is just something about this song that captures me. So many of my friends are confused by my near obsession over this song. I am not kidding …
Amy Winehouse-Back To Black
This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …
Barbra Streisand: A Collection - Greatest Hits … And More CD
Barbra Streisand: A Collection - Greatest Hits … And More CD is just what it says, a collection of Streisand hit records plus a couple of new things. From reading the liner, it appears from her note that one of Streisand’s big concerns of the days was saving …
Static-X Machine
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, …
Breaking Benjamin-We Are Not Alone CD
I bought this CD when the song “So Cold” was playing on the radio everywhere. I really loved that song with its haunting melodies floating above a hard rock edge. Unfortunately, the rest of the CD fails to live up to the promise of that song. It’s …
Phantom 309 by Red Sovine
Red Sovine sings the song Phantom 309 which is about a truck driver that gave his life to save a bunch kids on a school bus. It is about a true hero that was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of his life for others. Now days I wonder …
The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead
Overview - Live/Dead is the first live album put out by The Grateful Dead and it certainly allows fans and listeners to get a glimpse into what a live Dead show is like. I’m not sure about other people, but I know the first thing that I noticed when …
Weezer - King (Song)
King is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The Red Album. Like other songs on The Red Album such as Cold Dark World or Thought I Knew, King isn’t a song sung by Weezer’s lead vocalist, Rivers Cuomo. Because of this, King …
The Rolling Stones - Talkin’ ‘Bout You (Song)
Talkin’ —˜Bout You is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Out Of Our Heads. The track starts off with a nice blues-rock sounding riff before going into the main rhythm of the track which certainly continues this blues-rock feel as it’s paced with …
The Best of Stargate SG-1 Season 1 soundtrack CD
The Best of Stargate SG-1 Season 1 soundtrack CD contains music from 9 different episodes of the hit science fiction series as well as the main title and end credits. I definitely want to mention the liner notes which has a brief summary of the episodes included plus …
Michael Jackson’s Thriller album
I really liked this album. It’s so fantastic. All the songs here are my favorites. I got a copy of Thriller album from my friend. It was a ctually my birthday gift from her. And I am so happy with it. This album has songs that still can be appreciated …
Osmonds: The Plan CD
The Osmonds: The Plan CD is a very special compilation. Actually, compilation isn’t the right word. This project was a labor of both love and inspiration, written by the Osmonds and which musically told their religious beliefs. It’s tender and rock both and takes listeners on …
Animal Collective - Sweet Road (Song)
Sweet Road is a song by Animal Collective and is the sixth track on Animal Collective’s record Sung Tongs. Significantly different from the preceding five tracks on the record, the sound on Sweet Road certainly has a more experimental feel to it than preceding tracks and it also struck …
I can tell you want to fuck
I can tell you want to fuck by 504 Boyz is a song me and some of my home girls like to listen to all the time because we like the beat and the song is just romantic to us. Just this past Wednesday we were jamming to this …
In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
The Rolling Stones - Love Is Strong (Song)
Love Is Strong is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Voodoo Lounge. The song starts off with a moderately-paced tempo and features the typical instrumentation of The Rolling Stones coming in simultaneously along with a harmonica lead as well. Jagger comes in with the …

Disturbed (Indestructible)
I’m reviewing the band Disturbed because they are by far my favorite band, and have been for years. Unlike other metal bands, their content is extremely original and they’re not just in it for the money and fame. I hate it when artists simply try and make their music …
CD KISS HOTTER THAN HELL
HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss seemed to believe they would capture the public’s imagination with this second LP but it didn’t work out that way despite its high quality.
Better than some have suggested.
This one also didn’t sell when first released but greater things was soon to come. Album contains Gene Simmons’ …
Ultimate Power Ballads
A great CD is Ultimate Power Ballads. I love this Cd so much. It has got some really great songs on it that I grew up with from the 1970’s and 1980’s. It brings back great memories and emotions.
I love the song “Beth” by KISS. …

Women And Children First album by Van Halen

Taylor Swift’s “Love Story,” from album, Fearless
When Taylor Swift’s newest single, “Love Story,” hit the radio waves in 2008, I was in Georgia, driving around lost. An impromptu road trip with a friend from the battle scars of a recent heartbreak. Being an English major in college and being naturally critical of Shakespeare’s …

Psychosocial By: Slipknot
