Released in 1971, after a long period of trying to find their feet, Meddle, can be said to be the first real Pink Floyd album, the first one, which captures completely the Pink Floyd sound, the style on which the band will later build upon, when releasing their worldwide …

“Confinement” is a track off of the Silent Hill 4 Original Soundtrack. The soundtrack was released alongside the game in 2004, and was made by Akira Yamaoka. Yamaoka has always been hailed a musical genius when it comes to making ambient and creepy music/sound effects. As Yamaoka started to …

Where You’ll Find Me Now is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the sixth song on their debut release On Avery Island. Opening up with Magnum’s vocals along with some guitars strumming behind him, Where You’ll Find Me Now thankfully returns the sound to a more accessible …

I was browsing through some of my old CDs, and I came across The Purple Tape by Lisa Loeb. It’s been awhile since I listened to it, so I put it on to listen. I remember Lisa Loeb, with her specky image, and a sort of like a …

Every musician needs the proper equipment. If you happen to be a guitarist, I am sure that you have searched the internet and different stores coming across thousands of different guitars. Every musician has his or her personal preference of guitar brand, but it does’nt hurt to have another …

Overview —“ For Whom The Bell Tolls, the third track on Ride The Lightning, is what I would consider to be one of Metallica’s most well known songs throughout their career. I’m aware that when a person thinks of Metallica they’ll most likely think of tracks like Enter Sandman …

An incredibly moving and well laid symbolic interpretation of the song ‘Creep’ by Radiohead. I was blown away by the quality of the flash movie, but more than this (and you will have to wait until the end to see what I mean if you haven’t seen it before), …

Take This Job And Shove It by David Allan Coe is my kind of song. About three years ago I worked in a large factory and made fifteen dollars an hour as an inventory specialist. I was not very happy with my job though. I was tired of the …

Overview - In The Dark, The Grateful Dead’s twelfth effort, is overall just an album that I consider average. I’ll be honest say that there are a few good songs on here, and the opening track really left me hopeful for the rest of the album but I was …

I recently purchased a new Fender Frontman 25R Practice amp for a room that I have set up, and I have to say that for a small, inexpensive amp, it does very well. I was able to play at fairly high levels, without hearing …

Overview —“ Wake Me Up When September Ends, the fourth music video released for American Idiot by Green Day makes commentary against the United States going into Iraq. The music video definitely returns to the form of a performance and story music video, this time the story is extremely …

Rihanna has always been very bold throughout her music career but this just puts the icing on the cake. This song shows women can be powerful too, she puts a huge commanding vocal on throughout the whole song. She sells the point she is trying to make with this …

It may just be my personal preference for acoustics, but this song is just beautiful and breathtaking. Especially when I can relate to it.
From my point of view, this song depicts the loneliness and pain of having to live separate from your loved one, a.k.a a long distance …

After achieving success with Sweet Kisses, Jessica Simpson, appeared with Sweetest Sin on the album titled, In This Skin. More exciting and more excited. Great formula of imitating other singers such as Kylie Minogue, she hummed songs expertly. As a happy wife of Nick Lachey, in this album, Jessica …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Suga Mama”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Melina and Beyonce
Sporting a 1970s funk and soul theme, “Suga Mama” is predominantly filmed in black and white all throughout and begins with Beyonce donning one of her sexiest outfits yet, a 1950s masculine suit with form-fitting pants (mmm hmm, yep). She sits …

The artist Two Steps From Hell was created circa 2006 by Thomas J. Bergeson and Nick Pheonix. I would most likely compare their sound to the likes of Hans Zimmer, Audiomachine, and Immediate Music. It’s mostly dramatic/ intense music for stuff like movie trailers.
What I really like about their …

George Michael is a musical legend who first gained his success in the band Wham! I was a big fan of Wham, and still listen to most of their work to date. However, I am a bigger fan of George Michael�s Solo work, most notably, Spinning the Wheel and …

I love the album Faster Pussycat by Faster Pussycat. I had never heard of this 1980’s hair band until about 4 years ago when my boyfriend bought a DVD that had one of their songs on it and I fell in love with it.
So my sister gave me …

The opening strain of this song is like Knock you down from Keri Hilson. They lyrics shows that it is became Knocks you down part two. Actually that is what my friends said too but anyway this song is like other hip hop songs that came out it only …

Operator is a song by the Grateful Dead which appears on their album American Beauty. Opening up with a light guitar rhythm and a background rhythm, the song immediately has a fairly country-like feel to it and this is only reinforced once the vocals come in. I should mention …

I am a true fan of music, and able to listen to just about any genre without feeling as though I need to switch to something else. I must admit, though, I have never really been a fan of anthem rock, as I usually find it either completely boring …

Enya - A Day Without Rain came to me as birthday gift from one of my dearest and closets friends. Today it still remains one of my most cherished gifts every recieved. I have been following the career of Enya from the first time I heard the song on …

While I’m not a huge Queen fan, I do like several of their songs and believe their music is perfect for when I’m in the car trying to stay awake on my drive to work.
That’s why I was glad to find their Greatest Hits album on sale at Wal-mart …

I’d forgotten I had The Canadian Brass: The Canadian Brass Go For Baroque CD to be honest. Now that’s not a bad sign about how I feel about it; it was just buried beneath a large stack of other CDs and remained hidden in a sense.
This was actually …

Overview —“ The ESP/LTD, V-401 is ESP’s response to all our companies putting out V shaped guitars, which is pretty much every company to be honest. Just a note, I don’t personally own this guitar but I’m currently in the market for one so I decided to play one …

Fergie who sings for the Black eye peas has broke out with her new cd The Dutchess and every song is becoming a hit. The recent one Big Girls Dont Cry the same title as the hit by the Four Seasons is no way a copy of the …

I have most recently developed an attatchment to another song that starts off with a slow,flowing, and a tune created by an acoustic guitar. This may seem tedious to an audience who is exposed to almost a million songs that is written about a “sappy” moment in our lives. …

This is the 9th installment of DJ Chuck T’s “Down South Slangin Countdown” series. In this mixtape he showcases the top played tracks around the nation that are getting heavy spins at the moment. He has tracks mixed from various artists including Flo-Rida, Rick Ross, Lil’ Wayne & many …

While many think of pop music like Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias when they think of the Latin-tinged music that has become increasingly popular in the last five years, there are a few bands out there who can rock out at Ozzfest while also pounding on the conga drum. …

You Can’t Always Get What You Want is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Let It Be. This song is pretty well known just because of how often it’s played on the radio, but I’ll go through it anyway. The song opens up with …

Well, I have been a fan of these guys for a while and when I heard that they were releasing another CD, I kind of had my doubts. I felt that these guys had reached their peaks at just having cellos and distortion effects in their music. But I …

This Good Friday was my second time seeing all three of these bands, so I know what I’m talking about when I say that this concert was not just “business as usual” for these artists.
The concert began with a bang when Sevendust came onto the stage. Their high-energy …

I must admit, the one thing that drew me to buying this magazine in the beginning, was the notion of getting a —˜free’ cover Compact Disc at a price equivalent to just under one US Dollar, at the time (around 2006).
I turned out to be a very good buy …

Kill ‘Em All by Metallica is probably one of the most amazing sounds I’ve ever heard ever. I even dare to say that this is Metallica in their truly best form as well. But I wish, for once that the CD cover would be more nicer and …

I have been an avid listener to Nine Inch Nails since I was about twelve. In actual fact, it would be more correct to say that I was a fan of this band from about twelve to about fourteen years of age. And the reason why my interest in …

I began listening to this amazing band quite some time ago (even though they haven’t been around for all that long) and I must say, as sadly often is the case with other bands, the sound of their music has NOT faded the tiniest bit. I can listen to …

I have a rather mixed feeling for Jessica Simpson’s vocal voice and her music. Some of her songs are super cool and some are not. In this case, I find I Belong To Me by Jessica Simpson a totally wonderful song and it is powerful enough to conjure …

Stevie Ray Vaughan possessed a fire in his guitar playing that is unmatched.If Jimi Hendrix invented guitar playing than Stevie Ray Vaughan showed what emotion could do on the basis of your fingertips.Couldn’t Stand The Weather is a great showcase of SRV’s heart and determination.His playing is beyond fluid, …

I wasn’t too familiar with Tinie Tempah before I saw his album advertised on the telly and often that is when you realise how many of his songs that you already knew. One stood out for me, this was Written In The Stars. I had heard it on the …

Aaliyah
“Back and Forth”
Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
Blackground/Jive Records
Director: Millicent Shelton
There isn’t any other video that reeks of 90s style Hip Hop and R&B other than Aaliyah’s “Back And Forth”. This song and video was her debut on the music scene back in the early 90s, off of her first …

The hardcore rock scene has seen a decline in its hardcore aspect over the last few years, sounding more like pop driven radio friendly alternative than anything else. While Hopesfall may be a decent band, “Head General Hospital” seems to try to hard to reclaim some of the edge …

Vampire Weekend, a new, up-and-coming Indie-Rock band has swept the nation with its “soft-rock.” Its latest album titled Mansard Roof is, in my opinion, excellent. Certain songs, (Campus, Walcott) are slightly repetitive, but offer great sound. All songs were recorded in very high quality. The band offers high-quality, good …

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 …

Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection by Boyz II Men is worth to buy. And if you have the luxury of loaning it from anyone at all, then do it. Listen to the tracks inside. They are a whole collection of Boyz II Men there that are truly …

Usually, the NOW CD’s have a sad compilation of songs that did ‘alright’ that year in the Top 40 charts. NOW 23, however, did have songs that did extremely well and whose titles I actually remembered. There were one or two songs that I didn’t recognize, but the rest …

Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …

The Vox AC15 CC is a 15watt class A tube amp that is something of an amalagam of previous AC 15 models. The amp is fairly big, and very heavy, weighing something in the neighborhood of 80 pounds, but it’s still easier lugging around than a halfstack.
The AC15 CC …

Oh, how I loved Paul Anka for decades. Then he dumped his wife after decades of marriage and five kids (at least five, could have been six — my brain doesn’t recall). As much as I love his music, I look at him now and I just groan. …

I was searching for a certain video in the internet and I came across with a self-made video about a certain Asian girl. Well, the video made by the member of the site is good. But I was more attracted to the music. That music was entitled Secret by …

I will admit that when I heard the first few bits of Give Me Novacaine I was a bit worried that it was going to be another track to sound extremely similar to previous songs like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting, thankfully I was wrong. …
