I’m somewhat disappointed with David Cook’s new self-titled album. I rooted for him all the way to the pinnacle of American Idol last season, only to see him deliver something which is so average that it will not go down well with the critics and fans alike. Some fans will be determined to like it, [...]

I enjoyed listening to Nickelback’s latest album. I was never overwhelmed by them previously, though I have songs like “Far Away”, “Photograph” in my list of collections. Now, thanks to this album, I have added another 3 tracks, “Gotta be Somebody”, “I’d Come for You”, and this ballad, “Never Gonna be Alone”. While their album [...]

This is a final track that I will share with you, off Hinder’s new album. “Use Me”, “Without You“, “Heaven Sent” and “Last Kiss Goodbye” were the previous entries. I’m sure from that bouquet of songs, you will have a favorite tune. As for me, I can’t decide on a favorite. Good tracks, all of [...]

“Human” is The Killer’s next single, taken off their latest album, “Day & Age”. It sounds a little like Pet Shop Boys meet New Order. I was taken aback when the beat came a buzzing, but after a while, thought it was OK. Still, it’s nowhere near to their previous efforts, with songs like “For [...]

Their first single, “When I Grow Up” rocked the charts a few months ago, as I expected it when I blogged about it. After reviewing their new album, it was weaker than their debut album, it still had some good tunes though. As usual, Timbaland is all over the place, and host of other musicians [...]

“Summertime”, NKOTB’s first single off their new album, released in May 2008, is a track that grows on you. Believe it or not there is a whopping 17 songs from the new album, “The Block” which is due to be released soon. I managed to listen to the whole album, and a few songs kinda [...]

“Lips of an Angel” was a huge rock ballad back in 2006, and it was my number one song of that year. Since then, I’ve been a fan of Hinder, with “Better Than Me”, “How Long”, “Homecoming Queen” making up the rest of my favorite Hinder tracks.
If you’re a big fan of Hinder, they’re releasing [...]

Madonna is currently working on her new album “Hard Candy”, which is due for release this year. The first single off the track is a duet with Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland producing it, which is yet again, another catchy tune. I think it’s a pretty solid track and won’t be surprised if it blazes up [...]
