Taylor Hicks’ self titled CD is one of my favorite CDs released in the past five years. The CD has thirteen different songs and at least ten of them are very catchy. Most of them are really good songs; the kind of songs you find yourself singing along …

4 Minutes by Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake is not that bad. It also has Timbaland featuring in it as well. For my local radio station, is busy blaring this tune most of the time. I must say that there is a perfect combination for these 2, including …

Philly-based Diplo and UK’s Switch have finally come together in the long awaited duo - Major Lazer on their new album, “Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do.” The album boasts some original reggae cuts and original effects. Like any album should, this one has your normal set of diversity, …

They Sure Are Going All Out For Labor Day This Year, Aren’t They? is a song by Sledding With Tigers and their final contribution to their 2011 split release with Kids. In a predictable fashion, the band open up with yet another song that has an incredibly moderate tempo …

In My Time Of Dyin’ is a traditional arranged and performed by Bob Dylan for his self-titled debut record. The song starts off with a folk sounding acoustic guitar riff primarily in the right channel and Dylan comes in with the vocals of the track primarily in the left …

Barry Manilow is one of my very favorite singers. I love his style and his vocal tones. He’s someone you can sing along with, and that’s a quality I like quite a bit. The CD Ultimate Manilow was issued in 2002 by the Arista label.
The booklet that …

This was my first electric guitar and it was great to learn on. The feel of the guitar takes some getting used to, the neck is heavier than the body and throws it off balance some, not a big deal, the action is low, no fret buzz, the grover …

I think that If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna is so lame sounding and totally out of tune. I love both of them in terms of their music individually but this collaboration just aren’t them. It made them sounding like they are …

System Of A Down is the band’s self titled 1998 debut album, produced by Rick Rubin and released on American Records. The album is dark, fast, loud and tight, the album is by far heavier and angrier than System Of A down’s future albums, the future albums feature more …

Relaxation: A Windham Hill Collection is an audio CD that offers up a total of twelve tracks of incredibly calming instrumental music by various composers, like Will Ackerman, Douglas Spotted Eagle and Patrick O’Hearn. Although twelve tracks does not sound like very many, something of which that occurred to …

This album is really great. I was actually very surprised to find out that this album was not an actual album of new material but it was a compilation album that consisted of the songs Kid Rock had written for his early albums in the 1990s, when he was …

I think the song and video titled “Start A Band” with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley is a cute, upbeat song. The music and lyrics blend very nicely.
I didn’t realize they had collaborated. I think they have done a good job with the song. Their voices blend …

What do you guys think of Back To Black by Amy Winehouse? As for me personally, I think that album by Amy this time round is kind of better. But only if she could change her image for a bit, to make it better or some sort, it …

Future Reflections is the final song of MGMT’s second record, Oracular Spectacular. I will admit that when I first heard this song, I didn’t really like it, but it has grown on me since then. Opening in an energetic fashion before transitioning into a far more melodic section, the …

The band Killswitch Engage is an awesome band! I love the hardcore beats these guys play. They are one of the best metal bands out there. They hail from Western MA and are freaking awesome.
I love their songs and the best song that they have out is their song …

Welcome angelic voice to my melancholy ears. Any Gothic Metal or Symphonic Metal fan is usually in search for this exact concoction. The song, Chasing the Dragon by Epica starts about being one of the sweetest serenades or lullabies ever produced by Epica’s …

Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me is a beautifully done CD with songs that are sung from the heart. Come Away With Me features all the great songs that I love by Norah Jones, such as Turn Me On, Come Away With Me (the title track), Shoot The Moon, …

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 …

Graze is a song by Animal Collective and is the opening track to their EP Fall Be Kind. Opening up with a classical music-like tone, Tare soon enters the mix with his vocal performance which is the focal point of the track in my opinion. Aside from some steady …

Boy was I excited to hear that Apocalyptica was releasing an original CD with their own song. I first found this out when I was at my friends house and he looked it up on the Internet. I was quite excited. I was so used to this band doing …

It was obvious that this was going to be the last album by the band and so there must have been a tremendous amount pressure on the musicians. They definitely did not want to disappoint such a big number of fans. Of course the fans will always have their …

Carol is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their self-titled debut record. As soon as I heard the opening guitar part I thought Chuck Berry and this would make sense as this song is a cover of him. Therefore, since it’s a cover I can’t comment …

This was a very lovely and wonderful song that really reminds me how blessed I am and I tend to appreciate my life everyday as God is the one that sustains every thing I need.
The Song Forgiver was sung beautifully by Becky Lucas who is the lead vocalist of …

The Buffet E11 Clarinet- The standard-issue clarinet that schools give out (if they can afford better than a Yamaha or Jupiter).
First Impression: My first thought when I saw the E11 was that it had a nice build to it- it looked a lot sleeker than it’s predecessor. I …

This is the band’s fifth album this time with producer Bob Ezrin, released on Halloween of 2006. The song Hole In The Earth is about the conflict going on during the recording of the album between Chino and the rest of the band. The band was not getting along …

This 1998 album is the 7th album by Sepultura and the first to feature vocalist Derrick Green who replaced Max Cavalera. Green does a fine job, maybe even better than Max, this album is better than anything Max Cavalera’s side project Soulfly has ever done. This album uses Japanese …

Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg starred in the mega-hit romantic film, Ghost, back in 1990 and this review is centered on the Ghost soundtrack CD, which begins appropriately with the oh-so-endearing and tender Unchained Melody, sung by the Righteous Brothers. It’s the perfect number for the …

I can’t say that I’m very keen on listening to most black metal music, as the sound and sometimes the lyrics just does not appeal to me. However, when I discovered the black metal band Enslaved some years ago when listening to an online metal radio station, I became …

Crush, released in 2000, was Bon Jovi’s first album this decade. It was also the first album by the band that I bought, and indeed the first rock album I bought, sparking alight my love of music. I hold it then, in high regard, but I know …

Overview - Blood On The Tracks, Bob Dylan’s fifteenth effort, is a much better record than the past few records Dylan had put out at that time. The majority of the lyrics on this record are done from a storytelling point of view which Dylan proves he is still …

My name is Sophia Chartrand and I’m reviewing for Taio Cruz’s album, Rokstarr. What I’m going to do is, talk about every song on the album and my opinion about it.

It’s hard to believe sometimes just how many things you miss while busy doing real life stuff, and for me discovering music that i didn’t get to the first time around for one reason or another is something i really love to do.
Lately, i heard for the first …
