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 …

Michael Jackson’s latest posthumously released album entitled “Michael”, has been out for nearly four months now. As an avid fan of MJ and his music, I’m rather pleased with the results. Obviously, the tracks lack Jackson’s signature polish and sometimes you can tell where the engineers did something that …

I bought my new Apple Ipod with enthusiasm and with pride since it is an Apple product. For a few nights, I was tinkering my new item, checked new updates on Apple website, reviewed articles on why I should buy one, and made sure all music files that got into …

While it took me some time to truly appreciate the music of the band the “Beastie Boys”, right now, even though I think their musical style is a bit unusual, I do find that the style itself and the lyrics certainly are fascinating.
One of the reasons why it …

The long-standing band A.C., whose offensive name is often abreviated as such, is notorious and infamous for their noise-filled “anti-music” with frontman Seth Putnam screaming extremely offensive lyrics.

I have known Moby as a well respected electronica musician who has been in the music business since the early nineties. His music climax, in my opinion, was this very album, “Play” (1999). (In fact, this album saved his career!) I have listened to this album since about 2005 …

Wesley Willis is one of those weird musicians that I’ve heard. He was a guy who made random albums over a five year period using mostly keyboard sampling. There pretty funny because most of them sound similar and they use beats that sound the same. He also uses …

Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …

Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …

Radiohead’s new album The King of Limbs was released this morning by surprise instead of Saturday. It seemed as though this enigmatic album popped out of nowhere. It starts out with a track called “Bloom” it begins with a blur of sampled piano, blipping synth, and a cool dark …

Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …
