I first heard Never Let Go on the local radio airwaves here and I was instantly hooked to it. It has a nice conscious reggae beat to it and of course you just can’t match or beat the voices of these reggae artists. At least it seems so when …

Ruled By Secrecy is a song by Muse which appears on their album Absolution. The track starts off very quietly with faint pianos coming into the track gradually along with a simple bass line and Bellamy’s vocal melody at an almost inaudible volume. As the song progresses, both the …

I am a longtime fan of singer Miriam Stockley, so when I heard she had contributed her vocals to the AO Music project “Twirl” I couldn’t wait to buy the album. I was not able to find it locally, but ordered it online. I was hoping for the rich, …

This review does not give any specifics other than not enough Sinatra was used. That is one of the worst thing about reviewers of reviewing in general, they are always looking for something thats not there, just take it as it is. The album begins with one …

This is the band’s Fifth album and first for Roadrunner Records, released in 2004. This is a great album by the band, it’s smoother than anything the band has released before it, it is really heavy, and at times has a lot of melody, and could be classified as …

I was very impressed by this album when I heard it. It is a very interesting record indeed. It is very good that the band included so many new songs which have rather different sounds from each other. The previous album, Bloodflowers, released in 2000, was very good. I …

Neighborhood Bully, a track by Bob Dylan for his record Infidels, is actually one of the very few songs that I somewhat enjoy from that album, although this isn’t to say that this means the song is all that good as it really isn’t to be completely honest. In …

I have been listening to Bob Weir for 29 years now and he still amazes me; i just really, really, like his guitar playing. Although he is by no means the greatest of all guitar players, he is by far one of the greats. In my opinion he has …

“Alice in Chains” was one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Some people said that their music was grunge. However, I think that their music was much more than grunge, as some of those people only say that because the band originated in grunge rock capital of …

After aimlessly traipsing through the back of muddy woodland Stanley Park for just under two hours one would surmise that standing in the rain another few hours listening to a band whose album 100th Window mostly contained minimal loops and a dark delve into classical music, would be torturous. …

“Lost One”
Kingdom Come
Roc-A-Fella Records
“Lost One” is the second single and music video from Jay-Z’s ninth (comeback) album titled “Kingdom Come”, following “Show Me What You Got”. Released on Jay-Z’s 37th birthday (December 4th, 2006), the style of both the song and music video seem to compliment …

Marty Sampson has a very husky voice in singing this song All I Need Is You. I really like the song because of the wonderful message and the composition of it was also amazing.
He also leads the guitar as he sings although you can obviously hear from Marty’s voice …

When Baz Luhrmanns Wear Sunscreen became a hit when I was in my late teens I was amazed. How could this be a song. It was someone talking and it had been played to be music. I couldn’t quite fathom how such a performance had been so popular with …

Let’s listen to gallows. Where do I begin?

In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …

This album is impressive on several layers. Songs on this album are quite different from one another, and I would not say that I like all of them, all the types of songs that are there. But it is clear that none of the songs on the album are …

With the Beatles catalog recently released in remastered form, the time is right to take another look at these albums and see how they hold up. In this review I’ll discuss the Beatles first album, “Please Please Me”.
With the song “Please Please Me” at number 1 on the UK …

This is System Of A Down’s third album, the name comes from the way the album was leaked onto the internet ahead of it’s release, the album features no artwork at all, coming in nothing but a jewel case, and a back insert, coming on a mock CD-R all …

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 …

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 …

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number

Albums of the 11th Madonna released, could be described as an ambitious project from Madonna. 12 songs with up-beat tempo, many include elements of hip-hop, although still strong in the style of Madonna. Perhaps collaboration with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate “Danja” Hills, will bring a fresh …

Guy’s Eyes is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their 2009 record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with a somewhat confusing sound, I personally find the several layers of vocals to actually sound confusing at the start of this track rather than creating a whole and harmonious …

There is a stereotype going around that Hip Hop is all guns, loose woman, and the deft pursuit of all things money and BLING. Add on top of that the piss poor imagery that most commercial rappers portray via MTV and through the radio, that of money hungry, woman …

Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …

This album is fantastic. This record sold really well and it is considered one of the most important music albums of the 1990s. I like this album. I think that it contains very catchy songs, songs with quite strong melodies.
However, I do not appreciate the arrangements of this album …
