About a week ago, I reviewed the most commonly-known Yellowcard album, Ocean Avenue. Since they released the CD that put the nationwide spotlight on them, the band has released two more CDs. The first sequel they released was Lights and Sounds. With their popularity growing as their new singles continued to hit the radios, Yellowcard […]

Earlier on this blog, I reviewed an Anberlin CD called Never Take Friendship Personal. For those who were fans of that album, Blueprints For The Black Market is a release that is just as good and features the same strengths and weaknesses, the few that exist, of their second CD.
Blueprints was the band’s first CD […]

One of the more unique aspects of Yellowcard has always been their inclusion of the violin into their music. In certain songs, it is overkill and doesn’t work as well as it could if it was regulated to a smaller role. But for the most part, it blends perfectly with the other instruments and vocals.

Their singer’s high-pitched tones and teenage-emotional lyrics seemed very immature and unappealing to me. With that said, one of their later releases, Catalyst, is a CD that everyone should check out and features some of the […]

In what may be their final album, Audioslave delivers some of their best work. Chris Cornell’s grating voice has always worked perfectly with the advanced guitar work of the former Rage Against the Machine members, but the band’s sound never came together as it should…until now.
The CD opens with a bang with the song “Revelations.” […]

Earlier on this blog we discussed the musical video game Rock Band. Unlike previous video games in the same genre, Rock Band is the first video game to feature all instruments in a normal band. These include guitars, bass and electric, drums, and vocals.

Maybe I should have seen this coming. For the past few months my attention on the music world has been solely devoted to looking up information on the new Jimmy Eat World CD and trying to find sites to listen to the CD as early as possible. Then, after finally getting the CD a few […]

Back when I was in middle school, one of my favorite bands was Rage Against the Machine. While their songs tended to occasionally grate on and on about issues, there was no question that their musical talent was among the top in the industry. So it was a shock when Zack de la Rocha, lead […]
