R. Kelly
“Bump n’ Grind”
12 Play
Jive/Zomba Recordings
Cover your eyes, children, cover them tight. “Bump n’ Grind” is R. Kelly’s second single and music video from his first solo album (and second/sophmore album altogether) titled “12 Play”. This is entirely a concert music video, although it is much more clearer and …

Sing The Sorrow is AFI’s 6th full length and first major label album, released in March of 2003 on Dreamworks Records and produced by Butch Vig, Jerry Finn and Jade Puget. This is the album where the band started to change, they move away from punk and take a …

It’s your love by Tim McGraw and faith hill is a song I love. It talks about how this guy wants to leave but can’t because how strong this woman’s love is for him. He now wants to stay with her because her love changed him. This song is …

Call of the Wild is one of my all time favourite songs, even though I am not the world’s biggest fan of the singer in general. I do like a few of his other compositions, but this one really stands out for me. It is unfortunately rather hampered by …

I first heard Kevin Costner’s band Modern West while looking over my MySpace account. A friend had posted something about it and asked me to check it out because I mentor artists worldwide, mostly musicians. She wanted to see what I thought. I went on the band site and listened …

Probably, if one assessed this album with a very strict eye, one could find some, maybe, several, faults with it. But I am not going to care about it so much, but instead will try explain why I personally love this record, why it is very special to me …

Ripple is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album American Beauty. Ripple starts off with a very lighthearted rhythm led by an acoustic guitar along with a bass line, I can’t stress how truly lighthearted and just carefree this part truly sounds and it seems …

Overview —“ A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Pink Floyd’s eleventh album and first without Roger Waters, tested the band to prove that they could make a good record even with the departure of their bassist, singer, and primary songwriter. I know that I said tested the band, but honestly …

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 …

I love Coldplay. They have this style that no other band has. Chris Martin’s voice is so unique that when you hear him singing, you instantly know that it’s him. Before I bought this album, I would often listen to “Yellow” and “The Scientist”. The album X&Y has so …

Slippi is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate track on their fourth studio record, Here Comes The Indian. Opening up with a quick rhythm which sounds to be in sharp contrast to the previous three tracks on the record, I must say that the energy present …

I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet) is a song by the White Stripes which appears on their album, Get Behind Me Satan. What I like about this song is that it’s extremely stripped down so you really get a sense of what Jack White’s voice sounds like …

When playing guitar,Tone is important and the 10 band equalizer pedal by Mxr really gets the job done. It increases the total output control of all your frequencies on the guitar and in my opinion, adds a lot of high end and more gain for serious rocking out. Not …

Church On Sunday is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Warning. The track starts off with a very brief drum part before leading into the traditional power-chords from Armstrong which Green Day has become associated with. Armstrong soon joins in with the vocals in a …

I have just bought the new Empire of the Sun album, after having heard their debut single, ‘Walking on a Dream’. Now, having listened to the whole album a few times I am even more hooked on their style and lyrics. I will try to give my impression …

Overview —“ Just to make things clear right now, I’m reviewing the song and music video A Tout Le Monde from Youthanasia, not from United Abominations. So this is also the version to feature Mustaine singing by himself and not accompanied with Cristina Scabbia. I’ll admit that I’m more …

When I was in high school, I liked listening to Garth Brooks, among others. But, I haven’t really listened to any of his classic songs until recently; when my wife bought me his Ultimate Hits Collection for our anniversary. Now it’s all I listen to.
I haven’t had a chance …

This is the best reggae album ever created in my opinion. It features all of the best songs from singing legend and reggae king Bob Marley. There isn’t a person on this planet who hadn’t heard of this guy by now, even after his tragic death many years ago, …

I don’t know what kind of genre to label the band My Chemical Romance for. Either it is punk or more to rock and roll; not so sure which, but I do sure love this particular album featuring them of course.
The storyline is pretty clear through the songs and …

‘Superhuman’ is one of good duet song from two good R n B singer, Chris Brown and Keri Hilson. I like this song because tts so strong and one of romantic song that good to sing too.
Everytime I listen this song, make me feel wanna cry, its not …

Harmonies are top notch as always on The Osmonds: Christmas Memories. This CD is a collection of songs as performed by The Osmonds, which this time around equals Merrill, Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy. It doesn’t matter the combination of Osmonds, the harmonies are always there. I …

Lump Sum is a track by Bon Iver which is the second track on the band’s debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago. The track opens up with an airy atmosphere before an acoustic guitar comes in and establishes a more definitive rhythm, though some background voices help to maintain …

This album occupies a special part in my heart. Every time I listen to it I am making a trip down memory lane, recalling the time when I was twelve-year old pre-pubescent Boy. This is why I try not to listen to it too often, to keep this album …

A band I respect a lot released an album this past summer titled “Smash The Control Machine.” This band, Otep, has been a favorite of mine for a while now and I was excited to hear the new album.
First I must say that I had high expectations for this …

Shoot Me Again is a song by Metallica which appears on their album St. Anger. Before I begin, the typical problems that plague all of St. Anger exist on this song: terrible drum sound, vocals sound extremely out of tune, songs far too long, etc. Like most of St. …

When it comes to writing the perfect pop hook in this day and age I really don’t think it gets any better than the outlandish Lady Gaga. Even without the unforgettable video, this song has this perfect ability to straddle bizarre and mainstream so expertly your not sure …

Death Magnetic makes for a nice return to something close to the Metallica of, something that makes me a very happy guy. At times this album can sound a little formulaic, almost like the band doesn’t quite remember what they once were, or how to rediscover that spark. However, …

Ah Cannibal Corpse, what a lovely band! This song I am about to review is entitled “Stripped, Raped and Strangled”. This song appears off of their album “The Bleeding” and believe it or not is pretty much a single. It happens to be the third song on the album, …

3005 is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record. Along with Babylon, I would consider this to be one my favorite tracks on the album and I love how Malakian went with quite a different style on this track compared to the rest …

If you were ask my husband what kind of music do I listen to, he would tell you, —˜Soundtracks and Disney music.’ I listen to a great variety of music, but a great deal of that music is Soundtracks and Disney. There is something about the power and the …

I have been a casual fan of X Ambassadors ever since their sleeper hit “Renegades” started taking off early this year. In fact if you look at the reviews I made for this very site, then you’ll see that I’ve reviewed “Renegades” too. Side note: I still love that …

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 …

This record is appalling. I remember coming to this conclusion as soon as I listened to this record for the first time, and I still believe that this is the case. There is really nothing redeeming that can ever be said about this album, from my point of view, …

Fahrenheit is one of the best albums owned by Toto. At least, it is my opinion, and I’m sure with many people who have the same opinion. Composition of sweet song and very melodic, even though I know that is very difficult to play songs that have Toto’s tempo …

This is one of those bitter sweet songs that you just can’t help but fall in love with. Hince the title- the songs about not being able to have the one you love, but stil loving and thinking about them constantly . . . and only hope for them …

This is an incredible album that brought Heavy Metal to a whole new audience.The music is composed brilliantly and brutally.This is about the time Heavy Metal began to see a reincarnate of Classical Music.From the opening track the listener is forced into a heavy landscape where guitars rule and …

All Time Low’s second full-length album has become one of my favorite by the artist. So Wrong It’s Right is, in my opinion, All Time Low’s most powerful compilation of pop-punk-revival songs which mixes sometimes run of the mill pop punk themes with energetic and …

“Collection of Goods” is a song that appears off of Collective Soul’s self titled album. Though not a single, it very well could have been made into one if it were released by any other band. The problem is that it is overshadowed by such excellent songs as “December” …

I did not really know much about Meg & Dia until I heard one of their songs while on MySpace. That is where they became popular initially. They won the MySpace band award for Warped a few years back. Meg & Dia are two sisters who released two albums …

Selena - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD includes numerous songs sung by the upcoming talent, Selena, who was murdered just as she was really coming into fame and prominence. That was such a sad situation and seemingly so unfair. This story, Selena, named simply for the …

Into The Lungs Of Hell is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record So Far, So Good… So What. Something to note about this track before we begin is that it’s an instrumental so if you aren’t typically a person who enjoys those, this wouldn’t be a …

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 …

Judgment Of Heaven is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album The X Factor. I will say right now that I do not like Blaze Bayley with Iron Maiden, I don’t think that he fit their style and I think Dickinson fits substantially better and that …

Paper Planes by M.I.A. is a song that I like a lot. Paper Planes is a song you can not pass up and the song is just fantastic. The words make very little sense to a lot of people but not to me. The song talks about how this …

If your looking for a great classic rock one of the cds I recommend is the Boston debut album released in 1976. This album was a collaboration with Tom Scholz as the man who did most of the work like producing the album recording most of the guitars,clavinet,organ, and …

Black Swan is a son by Megadeth which appears on their record United Abominations. The track starts off with a fairly paced melodic lead guitar line which slightly reminds me of Iron Maiden. The verse soon comes in with a nice riff but the track unfortunately has a very …

In actuality, the The Making of the Awake DVD featurette is way too short. It’s more like an overview or even more to the point an explanation as to why the Awake DVD was produced.
The majority of this featurette is Josh Groban discussing the tour and what it …

Sunroad is one of the hottest hard rock bands from Brazil.
Formed by Fred Mika and his cousin, Danillo Vee, in the heat of Brazil in 1996 and influenced by many top-notch heavy metal/hard rock bands such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Eloy and MSG (and more), this band has produced …

Ode To C.C. (Part II) is a song by the Flaming Lips and the penultimate track to appear on their sophomore effort, Oh My Gawd. Thankfully, the second part of this track features an actual instrument in comparison to Ode to C.C. (Part I) which was just made up …
