Music Reviews
Crash by Dave Matthews Band
I believe a good CD is always worth a good review, regardless of its release date, such is the case with the Dave Matthews Band’s Crash CD. Hope you already have this CD if not you might want to get a good CD but not the best. I hope …
Caramelldansen
I can’t break free of this song. It’s not so much stuck in my head as I am just strangely addicted to it. It’s incredibly catchy. I don’t know what the draw is because at face value it’s a techno song that sounds a little like …
Blade Soundtrack (CD)
I think that the Blade Soundtrack rocks! I bought this a couple years ago when the movie Blade came out. This CD has everything. It has some good rap songs as well as some great club songs and dance songs. I really like the cool dance songs that were played …
Honkytonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins
Trace Adkins looks like a rough and tumble kind of guy and that’s exactly what you expect when you hear his music. Honkytonk Badonkadonk is a great song and it is all based around a woman and her rear end. Men love rear ends and Trace took the cue …
Are You Sure Hank Done It This way is by Waylon Jennings
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 …
Nine Inch Nails - Suck (Song)
Suck is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their EP Broken. Suck starts off with a fairly slow to moderate tempo with synthesizers having the main rhythm which gives the track that very characteristic industrial and eerie tone which has become associated with Nine Inch Nails. …
The Last Goodbye- Mckenzie Comer
I know many people have not heard of McKenzie, well this girl has an incredible future ahead of her. She is a fourteen year old Aussie singer, with a voice that could move moutains. She has not gotten an offical record label to sign her yet but she has …
Meet Miley Cyrus Album
A lot of people try to trash talk Miley Cyrus for being a rebellious Disney Star who has made a lot of mistakes in the public eye by posting really bad pictures of herself on public social networking sites. Although I do not think Miley Cyrus is a great …
Deck of Cards by Tex Ritter
Tex Ritter sings the song Deck of Cards. It’s about a soldier who does not have a bible so he uses a deck of cards as his bible. When the soldier gets into trouble he tells how he can look at the cards and how they remind him of …
Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams (Song)
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, pretty much the second half of Holiday, serves as an excellent contrast to Holiday which I will explain. It’s been said that the two songs are meant to be looked as basically one piece of music where Holiday is the party and Boulevard Of Broken …
Never Ever (2009): Ciara ft. Young Jeezy
Ciara ft. Young Jeezy
“Never Ever”
Fantasy Ride
LaFace Records
Director: Chris Robinson
Ciara takes a softer approach with “Never Ever”, the follow-up single and music video to “Go Girl” from her third album, “Fantasy Ride”. The melody of the song and nature of the video is almost similar to “And I” from her …
Mudvayne Lost and Found CD
“Lost and Found” is Mudvaynes latest album, breaking them into a more mainstream sound, fusing their tribal/NU-Metal sound with a more radio friendly rock sound. “lost and Found” also marks the first album without the makeup and silly getup that Mudvayne has used to market themselves up to this …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Someone Is Waiting (Song)
Someone Is Waiting is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the third track to appear on their debut release, On Avery Island. Picking up immediately where the previous track, You’ve Passed, left on, the vocal performance of Jeff Magnum abandons the Lou Reed-like sound which I seemed …
John Legend - Ordinary People
I have seen John Legend before, during one of his duet performance with Mariah Carey in one of the award show, but he did not really strike me as an outstanding singer until I heard his song - Ordinary People.
I was practically speechless when I first heard it played …
The Velvet Underground - Candy Says (Song)
Candy Says is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their self-titled record. The track starts off with a very melodic sound with a clean guitar and a light drum rhythm with Doug Yule rather than Lou Reed singing lead vocals. Although to no major extent, the …

My Life by Mary J. Blige
If there is such a word such as a worth buy, then I really think that My Life by Mary J. Blige is it. It is a worthy investment to be purchasing this CD album. The songs are aplenty and it is really a good bargain for money. …
Metallica - Phantom Lord (Song)
Overview —“ Phantom Lord, the seventh track from Metallica’s debut record Kill —˜Em All, is what I believe is one of the tracks on Kill —˜Em All which really make it clear that Metallica had significant punk influence. Along with Motorbreath, although Phantom Lord is just such a better …
Burn by Usher
Burn by Usher is a song I love listening to because it is so deep and heart felt. Every word in the song is like a poem being read aloud and the song has such a melody That anyone can be able to listen to the song over and …
Eminem - Relapse
I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)
Eminem comes back after a very long pause (at least for me). Since the “Encore” which was released in 2004 …
Eleca guitar
It was my daughter’s 16 birthday and she wanted a guitar. We searched all over for the perfect one and finally found it. The one we chose was called an “Eleca” guitar. The sound is incrediable. It’s a rather large guitar but the sound quality makes it irresistable. It …

Sunoh Album
Lucky Ali is one of the good soulful composer than we have in Indipop world. His debut album Sunoh (which means ‘listen’) is a nice collection of melodic songs. There are songs on different subjects, and all of them have been blended beautifully by soulful melodic music. Ali has …
Till Death Do Us Part, 2004 Album by Cypress Hill
This album is a huge disappointment. I appreciate so many Cypress Hill records that I still, to this day, can’t believe that the band who recorded the groundbreaking rap albums in the early 1990s, the band that recorded Cypress Hill IV, Skull and Bones and Stoned Raiders, the marvelous …
Megadeth - Foreclosure Of A Dream (Music Video)
Overview —“ Foreclosure Of A Dream, another single released by Megadeth for their critically acclaimed fifth release, Countdown To Extinction, would be the one track on the record that I would choose to call the power ballad. Up until I just read about the track I didn’t know that …
Music Video of Alejandro by Lady Gaga
Alejandro is the third single of the album Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. The video of Alejandro was released on 8th of June online worldwide.
And i think it is one of the greatest and craziest videos of Lady Gaga. There is monster theme again. The dancers, choreography, the outfits …
Vol.3 (The Subliminal Verses), Slipknot Album
I think that this album is a disappointment. I started listening to this album as soon as it was released, in 2004. And even then I immediately disliked what I heard. The music simply did not impress me then. I felt untouched and uninterested by the music I heard. …
The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (Song)
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track which appears on Rubber Soul and certainly another one of Lennon’s earlier songs which I would consider to be among his best. I always used to believe, and still believe, that Rubber Soul was certainly the record where The …
Iron Maiden - Rainmaker (Song)
Rainmaker is a track which appears on Iron Maiden’s record Dance Of Death. Right from the start the song opens up with a riff which has a very lighthearted feel to it, it certainly doesn’t exactly come off as the type of riff which I would typically associate with …
Green Day - Warning
Overview —“ Warning, Green Day’s sixth album, really has quite a different sound than what I was expecting it to have and definitely not in a good way. The band seems to try and merge their electric and acoustic influences on this album, but unlike on past works where …

Animal Collective - Baleen Sample (Song)
Baleen Sample is a song by Animal Collective and the third track on their 2005 EP, Prospect Hummer. I should mention from the start that this is the only song on the EP on the record to not feature the vocals of Vashti Bunyan, so the band have to …
Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD
For me, Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD is worth it just for the first track, which is Does He Love You, the duet that became a smash hit with Reba and vocalist Linda Davis. This essentially launched Linda into her own career. It’s one powerful, …
Come Away With Me
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, …
The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (CD)
If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …
You’re all I have (Snow Patrol)
You’re all I have is another good hit from Snow Patrol, and like Chasing cars, arguably Snow Patrols most famous hit, the lead singer, Gary Lightbody has a voice which is somewhat appealing. In most of the songs, the lyrics involve Mr Lightbody asking somebody for something, almost pleading. …
Like You’ll Never See Me Again Music Video by Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys is without a doubt one of the most talented and successful female recording artists of this decade. She has done wonderful collaborations with other artists but shines brightly on her own as well. She has come a long way from songs like “Fallin’” on her first album, …
Beat the Devils Tattoo 2010 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Even though I am a fan of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and listened to some of their albums as soon as they were released, which was certainly the case with their 2003 album Take Them On, On Your Own, and their 2005 album Howl, I actually missed the release …
Missery Bussines - Paramore
This song is the first single from Paramore in their secong album, Riot!. The song is very attractive, cheer up, ebergic, and of course rock!

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Overview - Magical Mystery Tour is an album to contain some of The Beatles’ better known songs and even one of my favorite songs of their whole career. Magical Mystery Tour incorporates the use of a lot of extra musicians to bring instruments such as violins, cellos, trumpets, flutes, …
Everything I’m not by the Veronicas
To me this song every thing I’m not by the veronicas is a song you should listen to after you break up with your boy friend because it takes care of a lot of feelings you may have because more than likely you broke up with the guy because …
System Of A Down - Question! (Music Video)
Overview —“ Question, the second music video and single released by System Of A Down for the first half of Mezmerize/Hypnotize is an extremely melodic song which has an intensity similar to Bring Your Own Bombs, but the sense of melody that this song has is just excellent, Tankian …
Roland XP50 workstation
I have used Yamaha PSR290 Keyboard while learning to play but as it didn’t have one touch voice change, and the price of Roland XP50 had gone down since the introduction of XP60 series, I bought a used Roland XP50 workstation for 100 pounds on e-bay. I had heard …
P.S. I Love You Soundtrack

Nine Inch Nails - Discipline (Song)
Discipline is a track by Nine Inch Nails which appears on The Slip. Discipline opens up with a very drum beat and then gives way to some synthesizers which obviously add that industrial and electronic feel which I typically associate with Nine Inch Nails. The vocal melody to Discipline …
All that remains metal band
All that remains is a death metal band and they are not as good as anybody thinks they are. They are a joke and I will tell you why they are a joke.
First off All that remains is a death metal band and that is how they started and …
Defiance by James Newton Howard - Soundtrack
The right kind of music soundtrack is crucial for a particular type of movie and for that, Defiance by James Newton Howard works for me. I listened to the songs inside and I certainly think it matched the concept of the movie, Defiance. On some circumstances, even if …
Weezer - Memories (Song)
Memories is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Hurley. Oddly, the song opens up with an abstract sounding intro before going into the rest of the track which carries the very characteristic Weezer power pop sound. The intro personally seemed a bit disjointed from the rest …
We Are the World Song 2010
I just saw it in Youtube today, the premiere of We are the World 2010 remake. This was the new remake of the 25-year old song originally written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Riche for the famine in Africa. I remember I was just 5 years old when they …
“Gotham City (Remix)” (1997): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Gotham City (Remix)”
“Batman & Robin” Soundtrack
Director: Hype Williams
First there was Prince, then there was R. Kelly, the second worst thing to happen to a ‘Batman’ film soundtrack in the history of the entire ‘Batman’ franchise. Well, it looks like the “I Believe I Can Fly” trick didn’t work …
