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 [...]

I listened to Hinder’s sophomore album a couple of days before it was officially released. My initial thoughts were shanghaied by their latest effort. Hinder’s Lips of an Angel was my number 1 track of 2006, and this album, may not have something as effective as that song, but it’s a much better album than [...]

When I first heard this song off Bon Jovi’s 2002 effort, Bounce, I was not really into it, as the heavier songs took the limelight away for a while. But, when I revisited the tune, I liked it, in fact, I loved it. It wasn’t love at first sight hear. I’m sure all of us, [...]

This is classic! A classic rock ballad. I love Hinder, and this is a song that perfectly flaunts the lead’s singer’s prowess. Though parts of the chorus sometime sounds like some other tune. Nevertheless it’s a magnificent tune. It may not come close to “Lips of an Angel” in terms of individualism, but take nothing away from it.
Highly recommended to [...]

“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 [...]

Firstly, I didn’t know that a name like Sarah Connor is something of a norm in Germany. She’s from Deutschland, probably real name Helga Zisswienerizgood, grew up loving the movie Terminator that she adopted that name. I have this song with me for the last couple of weeks now, and was caught between this tune [...]

This is an easy tune to listen to, especially lazying on a Sunday having a Corona. Not that I’m a fan of Corona & Lime, I’ve always fancied Guinness Stout & Kilkenny, and the other beers are just waste of time. Shwayze comes up with a  catchy tune, and I dig it.
