This is the second album released from heavy metal superstars Avenged Sevenfold. In comparison to the first album —˜City of Evil’, it’s just as heavy, just as raw, and just as brilliant. If you’re not a fan of metal music then I would stop reading this review right now! Not …

Overview —“ Just to make things clear right now, I’m reviewing the song and music video A Tout Le Monde from Youthanasia, not from United Abominations. So this is also the version to feature Mustaine singing by himself and not accompanied with Cristina Scabbia. I’ll admit that I’m more …

Lips Of An Angle by Hinder is a song I like because it talks about how a guy still has feelings for this other girl and it goes into details about how this girl gives the guy a phone call and the guys girl does not know it is …

I’m Already There is a song by Lonestar. It reminds me of the many times when my husband was out on the road working in Washington DC with a crew that remodeled BP gas stations. He would call on Wednesday nights to talk to the kids and tell …

Rowdy Country is a music video that stars George Jones, Mickey Gilley, Mel McDaniel and Moe Bandy. George Jones performs the song The one I Loved Back Then which is also known as the corvette song. I like this one because it is so funny to think that the …

‘Family Affairs’ is my favorite song from Mary j Blidge. I still remember that I bought the cassete about in 2000 but I still play that song until now. For me, Its not sounds like an old song, even its sounds always new to me.
We all know that Mary …

Overview - Beatles For Sale, the Beatles’ fourth effort, is just packed with fourteen songs, both covers and originals, of excellent vocal performances, very natural flowing songs, and a steady energy throughout all the tracks. It’s hard for me to review an early Beatles record in full because after …

The main reason why I am intrigued by The Pussycat Dolls is because they manage to sing relatively well by doing exhaustingly well choreographed dance moves. They are always in sync. They have great sex appeal. They are a very talented group of performers that are entertaining in concert …

I came across this song while I was doing some music hunting on youtube. I had never heard of Clay Walker before this song, but now I cannot get enough of him and his music. This song is one of my favorite songs at moment. It is an absolutely …

Overview —“ King Nothing, the final music video released by Metallica for their album Load, continues to the band’s original trend of shifting between clips of them playing the song and then a story to explain and accompany the lyrics to the song. Despite the similarity in structure and …

Butterfly is one of the greatest hits from the 90’s. A single coming from Mariah Carey included in her studio album, Mariah. I was first year in college when I heard it playing in the radio. The song sounds sad and serious. Hearing this song when you are alone …

Ever since I had first heard of them when I was little back in the nineteen nineties, I have always been fond of the music of the Swedish pop group Abba. That is why I was very happy a couple years ago when I was introduced to the album …

When it comes to writing the perfect pop hook in this day and age I really don’t think it gets any better than the outlandish Lady Gaga. Even without the unforgettable video, this song has this perfect ability to straddle bizarre and mainstream so expertly your not sure …

This is another of Chris Cornell’s solo albums but very different from anything he has ever done before. He worked with Timbaland on this, so already you’ll know it doesn’t sound like Soundgarden, Audioslave or even his other previous solo work.
I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, so I …

Ode To C.C. (Part 1) is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their second release, Oh My Gawd. I will say right now that this track is not a traditional song by any means and I find it to be quite a disappointing song on the …

Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album was given to me by a friend. I was actually surprised when she first told me over phone that she would give me this Kris’ album because I know this girl could not sing. She maybe a very good host and indeed an …

I remember how dissatisfied with this album I was after I bought it. It was a rather critical point then. I had bought the KMFDM album called Attak, released in 2002, and I liked it a lot. And then I saw this CD in the shop. And I thought: …

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 …

Thanx Dub is a song by Sublime and the final track on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Something I’ll mention about this track right now is that this really isn’t a traditional song in any means. Although the track does feature some musical parts which have a …

Infant Dressing Table is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth release, Here Comes The Indian. The first thing I should mention about Infant Dressing Table is that it certainly takes its time to establish any type of rhythm. For the first few minutes of this …

You’ve Passed is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the second track on their debut album, On Avery Island. Opening up with a simple percussive rhythm, a guitar soon joins in the mix and creates a fairly brooding atmosphere for the song which is appropriate to the …

If you haven’t sampled any of Michelle Williams songs from her new album ‘Unexpected’, do so ! She has such a solid, unique voice and I just love her new album. It’s more of a pop, dance type album, and the song ‘The Greatest’ is fantastic. There are great …

The all male musical group Boys II Men was an African AMerican soul music group who was for the most part poular from the early to late Nineteen Nineties. Thus I would hear their songs throughout my childhood being played on the radio, and I would even see their …

Wake Me Up When September Ends, the final ballad from American Idiot proves that although Green Day may have faltered on previous ballads like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams or Are We The Waiting, they certainly pull it off very nicely in the end. As I have already said, whereas …

Are You Sure Hank Done It This way is by Waylon Jennings. It seems like he is asking a question about how Hank made it big because he is trying to copy him. I personally don’t think anyone needs to copy how someone else made it to be successful …

The liner jacket is …

Electioneering is a song by Radiohead which appears on their third record OK Computer. I’m going to say right away that Electioneering truly isn’t like the rest of the songs on OK Computer, or really like many of the songs by Radiohead for that matter. This isn’t to say …

From their The Plan CD, a project from the early 70’s that was done with much passion, Let Me In is one of my two favorite songs from this album. The album itself tells the story of the The Osmonds’ religious beliefs. Now one of the cool …

“Dad, do you know Taylor Swift?”

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
