It was during the summer of 2007. I walked into the library that was about 10 minutes from my uncle’s apartment. I went to the CD section and decided to try out some music that I hadn’t really listened to before. That’s when I saw the girl on the …

The Tracks - A Hard Day’s Night, the third album by The Beatles, features a variety of different songs on here. There’s the more melodic songs, the energetic and rock driven songs, the pop-orientated songs, but also the songs that show signs of mature songwriting and more developed ideas. …

Overview - Go To Heaven, The Grateful Dead’s eleventh effort, is unfortunately an album that I’d have to say is average at absolute best, probably even worse than that to be honest. The opening track made me pretty hopeful for the rest of the album since it carries a …

Overview - Fresh Cream, Cream’s debut album, is an album mixed with psychedelic rock and also blues rock, with a lot of great musicianship in between. All the members of Cream really impressed me on this album: Jack Bruce had some excellent basslines that really left me wanting to …

Overview - The Freewheelin’, Bob Dylan’s second effort, showcases more of Dylan’s original works rather than covers and traditional songs, which is what most of his debut album was made up of. Right from the start you can tell that Dylan has a knack for poetic lyrics and just …

Overview - Side I of The Fragile, Nine Inch Nail’s third full length record, contains some of the best aggressive work and also some of the best melodic work they’ve ever put out through their entire career. Right from the opening track Reznor sounds excellent vocally and shows he …

Overview - Electric Ladyland, Jimi Hendrix’s final album with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell and under the name The Jimi Hendrix Experience, is an excellent way to go out. Hendrix has some of his best work on this album, including what I would consider his most epic and complex …

Overview - Dylan And The Dead, a collaborative live album featuring the songs of Bob Dylan backed by The Grateful Dead, is an album whose concept or idea just sounds brilliant to me. Both Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead are two of my favorite artists of all time …

Overview - Earth A.D., The Misfits’ final album with vocalist and songwriter Glenn Danzig, is honestly just an assault of aggressive music from start to finish without much of a break anywhere in between. To me, this description honestly
doesn’t sound very appealing at all simply because it sounds as …

Somebody please, give this girl some water! She is literally out of breath repeating the words “ella ella ella” over, and over, and over again.
Yes, I understand that Rihanna wants to shield her friends and lovers under her umbrella till the end, but what is up with the …

Overview - Meddle, Pink Floyd’s fifth effort, is a record that I’d have to say is pretty much average at best. The record starts very strong and ends very strong, but the work in between is honestly just mediocre in my opinion. It isn’t that the songs are bad, …

Overview - The Final Cut, Pink Floyd’s final record with Roger Waters, is truly an album that’s dominated by Waters himself. He sings lead on every track except one, where Gilmour sings lead on, and to be honest - just about every track on here is carried by him …

Overview - Fear Of The Dark, Iron Maiden’s ninth effort, follows with the traditional standards I have for an Iron Maiden album: great vocal performance, excellent guitar riffs, harmonies, and solos, and just great songwriting in general. Most of Fear Of The Dark follows through on these standards aside …

It appears that P. Diddy has gone from the Shiny Suit Man to the mannequin in the Bloomingdales department store window. Seriously, he looks like he came out of a Hugo Boss advertisement or something in this music video. “Come …

The Saga Continues…
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Benny Boom
“I Need A Girl, Part Two” is the second and final part that follows “I Need A Girl, Part One”. Once again, “I Need A Girl (To Bella)” is a single …

Overview - The Division Bell, Pink Floyd’s final album, shows that David Gilmour can continue to really produce solid music even without the help of his past partner, Roger Waters. After the first few tracks I figured that this record would average and wouldn’t have anything too special in …

Overview - Disraeli Gears, Cream’s second album, is a great musical album and has strong vocal performances as well in just about every track on here. I will say that most of the record is more laid back and mellow but they’re are still some great energetic tracks on …

Overview - Desire, Bob Dylan’s seventeenth studio album, features a lot of storytelling lyrics and even biographical lyrics, as heard on Hurricane and on Joey. To be honest, most of these tracks just strike me as solid but there are also some tracks which I personally think are good …

Overview - Crown Of Creation, Jefferson Airplane’s fourth effort, is primarily a pretty upbeat record with both energetic and melodic songs. The album features vocal performances by Slick, Balin, Kaukonen, and Kantner so it’s a very
nice mix whether they’re singing alone, which is good, or whether they’re singing together, …

This is an opportunity to obtain eternal black and heavy metal-influenced text Weirdo ass hook, although in a very truncated form. Initially, the temptation is frustrating to listen to: Every time the country and if something sounds promising, the discount on the next. After some time, if you accept …

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 …

Overview - Bark, Jefferson Airplane’s sixth effort, makes it clear that the band really isn’t what they used to be and don’t exactly have that same type of wonder that they used to. Bark features a lot of new concepts including a violin in a few tracks, a track …

Overview - Although Side IV of The Wall isn’t as good as side III, it still has some very good songs on it and wraps up the story behind this album very well in the end. In fact I’d have to say that this side has two of my …

Overview - Side III of The Wall is, in my opinion, the strongest side of the entire album. The one thing about this side of the album is that it’s extremely dominated by Waters on lead vocals whereas on the previous sides it was at least a slightly better …

Overview - Coda, Led Zeppelin’s final studio record, is a collection of previously recorded tracks sometime in Zeppelin’s career that were never released on an album. Unfortunately I have to say right now, it isn’t too difficult to see why some of these songs never made it to the …

Overview - Broken, the first EP put out by Nine Inch Nails, is basically eight extremely aggressive songs just fueled by anger, which becomes obvious not only through Reznor’s voice but even through his guitar playing. Generally I’m not a huge fan of albums that have just one feel …

Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …

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 …

Ok so i heard about this supposed “supergroup” band recently called chickenfoot which seemed like from out of no where started up with not that much hype at all so i decided to pick up the cd and give it a listen to see what i thought. You’ve got Joe …

So recently i picked up a cd alot diffrent from the music i am usually interested in and decided to review it and tell you all what i thought.

I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …

Overview - Side II of The Wall by Pink Floyd is a huge improvement after side I, which wasn’t terrible but at the same time it didn’t really make me too eager to hear the rest of the album. Side II just had better songwriting overall, and although there …

Overview - Side I of The Wall, Pink Floyd’s most complex and detailed concept record, introduces the main character of this record and also explains a bit about him. Surprisingly, after re-listening to this side of the record I’d honestly have to say that for the most part, it …

Overview - The Downward Spiral, the second album by Nine Inch Nails, is an extremely dark concept album written about the suicide of a man. Overall, this record is extremely angry and extremely dark, however, Reznor still has some more melodic songs to balance out with this aggression and …

Overview - Bringing It All Back Home, Bob Dylan’s fifth effort, is a record that is split up into two unique sides: one electric, one acoustic. This concept is a new idea by Dylan and this is the first record where he’s actually backed by a band rather than …

Bruce Springsteen released Magic in 2007, an album eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike. His first outing with the E-Street Band since 2002’s The Rising, a lot was expected of the Boss this time around.
Hopes, high that this album would be as impressive as the one from …

The Gaslight Anthem’s second album The 59 Sound, released in 2009, has brought the band to mainstream attention, helped in part, in the UK, with a renowned performance at Glastonbury which included guest accompaniment on stage by headliner Bruce Springsteen. Their debut album was met with critical acclaim …

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 …

When I first heard the song “Nobody Wants U” by The Dollyrots, it was only just a snippet in the background of the show Reaper. I looked all over the net and finally I found a website that had their songs up. I got to listen to …

The album by black eyed peas called “the energy never dies” is awesome. It is a different kind of music. It’s all upbeat, techno, dancing music. I like all of the songs. One of my favorite is Boom Boom Pow. I also like the names of the songs. It …

One More Drink is from Ludacris’ latest 2008 album Theater of the Mind. It has a very different sound from usual Ludacris songs, but it is my absolute favorite song of his so far. The blend of a claps and beats to dreamy bells is
stunning. This makes the song …

I thought The Bird and the Bee managed to make a great sequel to their first album! Inara’s voice is absolutely beautiful and subtle. There is a great variation of sounds, and yet you can always tell that each is a Bird and Bee creation. Many of the songs …

Overview - Side II of The White Album continues with the mix of Lennon and McCartney compositions, but also includes one by Harrison as well and even one by Starr. Similar to side I, this side of the album has a lot of melodic songs to it but also …

Overview - Brave New World, Iron Maiden’s twelfth effort, is the first album with Maiden back with both Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith after being replaced by Blaze Bailey and Janick Gers for the previous two records. I have to say that it’s a nice change from the material …

Overview - Blonde On Blonde, Bob Dylan’s seventh effort, is the first of Dylan’s albums to follow his commercially successful album, Like A Rolling Stone. After listening to Like A Rolling Stone I honestly wondered how Dylan would ever top that masterpiece, and to this day I don’t believe …

Overview - Side IV, the final side of The White Album, is much less energetic than side III but it’s a nice balance. Sides I and III were a bit more energetic in my opinion while sides II and IV were a bit more melodic for the most part. …

When Britney Spears was in her prime I was never really a big fan of her. I did like some of her songs, just not all of them. When she went through her difficult time of cutting off her hair and locking herself in the bathroom, I thought it …

I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …
