Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (Song)

2010 X-Factor Finalists - Hero - Single
I have mixed feelings about the X-Factor finalists Hero song. I appreciate that it was all for a very good cause with all money raised going to Help The Heroes, but this is done each year in some format or another and whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I do …
Music Groups: The Eagles
The Eagles made a comeback album called “Hell Freezes Over” and it absolutely proved just how great the group really is. They are an easy listening type rock band that had long retired when they came back together for this tour turned album. Their talent shines through with songs …

Metallica - The Frayed Ends Of Sanity (Song)

Metallica - Death Magnetic
Overview - Death Magnetic, Metallica’s most recent album proves that even though the band was in extreme turmoil during St. Anger they did manage to come out of all of that horrible music and manage to make a record which puts them back on course. Although I will say, …
311 band
Sometimes it’s good to just listen to music that stands apart from the regular. I find that escape when I listen to 311. Nick Hexum just has such a mellow voice and I love the how reggae sound they mix with the rock sound. Some of my favorite 311 …
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’ …
Pantera The Great Southern Trendkill

Vampire Weekend - White Sky (Song)
White Sky is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their second record, Contra. The song opens up with the very playful sound that I have come to associate with Vampire Weekend. The vocals for the first verse come in with a fairly catchy vocal melody, but there …
Queen: Greatest Hits
While I’m not a huge Queen fan, I do like several of their songs and believe their music is perfect for when I’m in the car trying to stay awake on my drive to work.
That’s why I was glad to find their Greatest Hits album on sale at Wal-mart …
Bob Dylan - Lonesome Day Blues (Song)
Lonesome Day Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Love And Theft. As you can tell from the title, the track has a very blues-rock feel but I actually think that this works pretty well with Dylan on this song. Dylan’s vocal melody works …
The Grateful Dead - New Potato Caboose (Song)

Twilight Soundtrack
This CD is definitely a must have to all Twilight fanatics. I considered myself as one so I rushed to the music store to grab a copy. I like its packaging with Bella and Edward on the front cover of the CD case. However, I was …
Dreamend-Stigmata Boy
Dreamend is an underappreciated post-rock or showgaze band that has actually been quite productive over the last ten years. Stigmata Boy is one of their earliest recordings and has more singing in it than other of their albums. In most cases I don’t like to much of singing in …

Singer Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart isn’t the most handsome of guys, but he does have a unique voice that tends to draw me in at every turn. His voice does sound a bit scratchy but that is what makes his recordings so great. Rod Stewart has enjoyed great success as a singer …
Tri-Polar (Album by Sick Puppies)
Tri-Polar is the third album by the australian pwer-trio Sick Puppies.
As always one of the things that stays up on this album are the bass lines, some not for it’s level or difficulty, but for it’s creativity and the way it fits the song, i guess that the best …
Arcade Fire - Old Flame (Song)
Old Flame is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their self-titled EP record. Opening up with an instrumental intro which centers around a guitar’s rhythm, the vocals enter the mix with a delivery that sounds characteristic to the typical vocal sound Arcade Fire would later develop and …
The Velvet Underground - I Love You (Song)

Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia (Song)
I said in my review of American Idiot that everything with Green Day is simple and basic. Well, Jesus Of Suburbia makes me look like an idiot with this statement. I will admit that the majority of tracks on American Idiot are indeed quite simple and basic, this album …
Lasers Album- Lupe Fiasco
Lupe Fiasco is one of the opponents of hip hops status quo, and I respect him for it. It seems he just likes to oppose the way of doing things. In my opinion he is one of the more intellectual rappers in this generation. He refuses to sing about …
Rock Singer Elton John
Some things never go out of style and Elton John is one of them. Elton John quickly soared to number one spots on the charts in the 1970’s and kept making those hits spanning a very long career. I love Elton John’s music but not his attitude so much. …
The Grateful Dead - What’s Bome Of The Baby (Song)
What’s Become Of The Baby is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record Aoxomoxoa. I will say right now that this track is quite different sounding from a traditional song and very experimental. I suppose the best way I could preface this song is that …
Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll
This is actually a very sad song, but it’s real and it speaks something that no one wants to speak about, something that people try to pretend doesn’t exist. But cruelty does exist in this world and it happens all the time. This song is about a girl who …
Autobiography CD (Ashley Simpson)
I don’t know who Ashley Simpson was until I heard the song “Pieces of Me”. I didn’t even know that she’s the sister of Jessica Simpson. It actually came as a surprise to me because they are so different from each other, personality-wise and style-wise. Quite frankly, I like …
Pyramid by Charice ft. Iyaz

Pet Shop Boys (music group)
One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …
Opeth Ghost Reveries CD
Literally shocking the Death Metal scene, in 2005 Opeth signed to American Metal label Roadrunner and released “Ghost Reveries”, a masterpiece that transcends all of their previous albums.
Many were reluctant about Opeth leaving European label Koch and signing to an American “mainstream” label, stating that the band had sold …
Drake - Hotline Bling (Song )
This is actually the first time I’ll be reviewing a “rap” song. So I decided I’d go a rather different these days because I need to expand my music horizon. Every day I have been doing the same routine, listening to Alternative, Indie, Dark-Pop, Heavy-Beat, Contry and EDM music, …
Tool - Parabola (Song)
Parabola is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. Just as a note, Parabola follows a track known as Parabol on the album and it’s pretty much meant that you’re supposed to listen to Parabol and then Parabola because it leads right into this track, just …

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday album

The Sylistics “Original Debut Album”
I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
A couple years ago, one of my father’s good friends gave …
Colbie Caillat’s “Breakthrough (Standard And Deluxe Edition)” Album
Colbie Caillat’s “Breakthrough (Standard And Deluxe Edition)” Album
If there’s a few words to describe this follow-up second studio album by Colbie Caillat, they’d have to be

Pearl Jam band
I recently rediscovered the grunge and hard rock band called “Pearl Jam”. They were one of my favourite bands in the early 2000s when I first started discovering my love for hard rock music and bands such as Creed, and Lifehouse. These days, I’ve begun to do some re-exploring …
Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the movie Twilight fits the story perfectly. It is one of my favorite CDs in my own collection. I am very picky about my music. Prior to listening to this soundtrack, I only knew of two bands that were listed.
