The Unforgiven would be the one song on The Black Album which I would define as being extremely musically mature and once again shows an excellent example of Metallica continuing to progress as excellent songwriters. The lyrics to this song deal with this person cutting himself off from society …

I first heard this band while my husband was playing a video game, of all things. They provided the soundtrack to several dance club scenes. Dark, sci-fi dance club scenes, that is. I then realized that they had a song on the Queen of the Damned …

I am very happy that I had a chance to come across this fantastic record in my life. I feel that if I had never heard this record my life would have been less complete. This album is really good. The songs on this album are really special.
I came …

ride wit me by Nelly is a song that is commonly played at any local skating rink because it is a song to make you get up and roll. It is a rap song that is talking about a guy getting high and driving to a club. He also …

Penny Dreadfuls is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with some background noise, a piano gradually joins the track before the vocals also come in. In strict contrast to the previous instrumental track, Untitled, the tone …

Overview —“ East Jesus Nowhere, the third music video released by Green Day in support of 21st Century Breakdown is a song that takes on the hypocrisy of religion and a video that tracks Green Day throughout their 21st Century Breakdown tour. To be honest, East Jesus Nowhere probably …

“Only In Dreams” is the closing song off of the fantastic debut album of Weezer. This such a good song to close an equally good album. To my knowledge it is also the longest song ever recorded by Weezer, although I admit I haven’t really dabbled into any of …

If “4 Minutes” is any indication of how the new Madonna CD is going to sound, I think I’ll pass. While this song, produced and sung by Timbaland, Madonna and Justin Timberlake, has a few catchy beats, it can’t be compared to any of the artists earlier hits. The …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

“She’s Like The Wind”
Performer: Patrick Swayze
When I first saw “Dirty Dancing”, I was in fifth or sixth grade and the movie had been out for over a decade by then. Being a kid, I couldn’t really appreciate the movie itself, but I did enjoy listening to all the songs …

Baby You’re A Rich Man is a song by The Beatles which appears on their most psychedelic work, Magical Mystery Tour. I chose to include that this is their most psychedelic work because it helps me in describing the overall sound of the track. For some reason this used …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

If there was ever a voice that could carry me to sleep, lift me up to a higher place, and make me smile all at once, the sweet sound of original writer and cover artist Emily Schonberg is all of these things and more.
I first encountered Emily, who is …

The Dixie Chicks are a very controversial group of recording artists. A few years back, they made some statements about then president George W. Bush that were not received very well at all in the United States. Many supporters of George W. Bush also happened to be fans of …

Emphasizing the importance of Persian culture in her work, the Iranian-born singer calls her second studio album the word “Shabrang” - that was the name of the black horse belonging to Siyâvash from the book of the Shahnameh kings. Siyâvash symbolizes virtue, honesty and courage - being the son …

This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …

Megadeth is Dave Mustaine. Everybody in the metal scene knew that he the one who helped Metallica and how he got kick from it. From that he always try to beat Metallica but luck is not in his side. Apart from being a one time junkie Dave Mustaine is …

This album is the complete opposite of the previous „Wish you Were Here”. When I first listened to it, I was shocked by the huge leap the band made from that album. If WYWH was about emotions, intimacy, and empathy, „Animals” is a strikingly bleak and politic statement, in …

Still Life is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Piece Of Mind. The track starts off with this very odd talking section which I’ve read is meant to be played backwards in order to take a jab and poke some fun at the critics deeming …

I think that this album is very interesting. I think that this album is significantly underestimated. I personally find many ways in which this album is more interesting than the 1992 release called Wish.
I remember how I first got acquainted with this album. I was told by a friend …

Hinnom, TX is a snog by Bon Iver which appears on their self-titled second album. The track opens up with a sound which I can only describe as being very airy and light. Once a listener hears the intro, it honestly sounds as if they’re listening to a song …

Down By The Seaside is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on Physical Graffiti. Down By The Seaside starts out with a guitar introduction by Page, which has some type of effect on it which I’m not really sure how to classify. Plant then joins in with a …

I heard the song “Nobody” on the radio and loved its unique style. It was a mix of rock and reggae with a catchy chorus and a great beat. Unfortunately, it seems the Skindred may end up a one-hit wonder because the rest of the CD is …

The Manhasset Clarinet stand is a cone shaped stand that comes apart into two pieces. One piece opens into a 3 legged stand which can be screwed onto the cone shaped upper piece.
Likes: One thing that I really like about this stand is the ease of carrying from …

Although not well known in the United States until her song “Possibility” was featured on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack, Swede Lykke Li was already well known in her native country.
An independent musician, Li could best be described as a living, breathing work of art. If I could define …

I haven’t heard much from Clay Walker lately that I actually like, but his new song “She Won’t Be Lonely Long” is amazing. I have always like him since as far back as I can remember but lately he hasn’t been putting out that much wonderful music. In the …

Being bored out of his skull, R. Kelly decides to bring the story back to the situation at Cathy’s house, picking up with she, Chuck, and Rufus getting up off the floor after Sylvester had stormed out of there with his …

Suffer is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the sixth track on their debut record, Gish. Opening up with a simple drum rhythm, the remaining instrumentation soon joins in the mix as well as Corgan’s vocals. For some reason, I’m slightly reminded of The End, a song …

Peacemaker is a song by Green Day which appears on their most recent album, 21st Century Breakdown. The song starts off with a sample of some random noise before leading into an acoustic guitar part along with a distinct bass line and drum rhythm, it sort of sounds like …

The UK’s favourite Indie rockers returned this summer with their fourth studio album, entitled Suck It and See.
Despite critics and fans alike not being too impressed with their last record, Humbug, the boys from Yorkshire have returned with, what I feel, is a very impressive album.
Although I was …

Whether your guitar-playing experience is that of a legend or a beginner, Elixir strings with Nanoweb coating will deliver unmatched comfort and sound quality from even your feeblest attempts at manipulating an acoustic guitar. The sound of the Nanowebs is incredibly bright and clean, and the thinner Nanowebs make …

2000 Light Years Away is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. One thing I’ll note that I like right away about this song is that the bass is extremely prominent in the mix and you can also definitely hear this sense of energy coming …

A song that I really like off the new Slash album released a year ago is the track I hold on. This song features vocals by Kid Rock and of course the guitar arrangements were written and played by Slash. This song starts by fading in and getting …

Overview —“ Sweet Children, Green Day’s third EP, is surprisingly what I would consider their worst release yet. I figured that since it was released later than either of their first EPs, 1,000 Hours or Slappy, the songwriting would’ve improved and everything like that but this wasn’t the case …

The Gnome, a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their first record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, is another song on that album which I would basically describe as just being a very upbeat sounding song in tone and basically filled with lyrics full of nonsense, …

My opinion of this album changed dramatically in the course of years. I was a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne when I was in my early teenage years. I knew all his albums very well, and was quite fond of many of his songs. And this album, the 1983 …

War Zone is a song by Slayer which starts off like most of Slayer’s tracks do: very fast and very heavy. I will say that the double bass in the introduction of this track sounds nice but the guitar part just sort of strikes me as generic and doesn’t …

Just Stand Up was and is the theme song for the relatively new cancer fundraising event called Stand Up 2 Cancer. The first one was held in 2008 and then a second one was held just recently in 2010.
This single, Just Stand Up, was sung live in New …

These words by Natasha Bedingfield is about how she is saying these words all are her own not some ones else’s. she just wants to be left alone so she is saying no one else can take away what she wants to say even though they may say …

Saved is the title track of an album released by Bob Dylan. The track starts off with an upbeat guitar and organ part which has a very gospel-like sound to it, particularly once Dylan comes in with the vocals and the lyrics of the song. As if this wasn’t …

Little Maggie is a traditional song which is arranged and performed for his album Good As I Been To You. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar pattern which seems to have a nice move to it. Dylan comes in with the vocals in a somewhat deep tone …

This Album from Natalie Merchant had exceeded my expectations - which is not that tough, truth to be told; since Natalie Merchant had been very low-profile for a very long time, and I didn’t expect much from her.
Having said that, whenever a person said that something exceeded their …

Supermodified is a result of his opera / film tones … are absolutely unique.
In the darkest, little more turbulent in the balance of payments …. Part of the music in the headphone Bobbe, …

Lablakely Dress is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their second album entitled Danse Manatee. To begin, let me just say that after following Ahhh Good Country on the track listing, Lablakely Dress has quite an act to follow, but I will be clear and …

Canadian MetalCore band, The Agonist, is acclaimed for their hard-hitting riffs, lush guitar and vocal melodies, and brutal Death Metal growls and screams (done by female vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, no less). Their second and most recent album, “Lullabies for the Dormant Mind” (released in March of 2009) demonstrates all …

I could have bought this Blur album as soon as it was released, when I was a teenager. I could have, but I didn’t. But one day I did not have much to do, and I decided to listen to some older Blur records, and I remembered that I …

This is definitely my taste of music. Rap, hip-hop kind, and was loaned to me by my best friend, Lisa. She really is a great clubber type, and she recommended me to this CD, saying that I will certainly dance to it, and will sort of hum …

She fucking hates me by Puddle of mudd is quite an interesting song. It is about how this girl was going out with this guy and then she ended the relationship and now the guy is thinking she Fucking hates him. maybe she does maybe she doesn’t but it’s …
