1996 : Scorpions – You and I (Mp3)

This was Scorpions last big hit before they started releasing dud after dud until they decided to retire, 10 years too long! While it doesn’t have the magic of their previous rock ballads, it’s still a catchy sweet rock ballad written by the lead singer. DOWNLOAD 1996 : Scorpions...

Theory of a Deadman – The Truth Is… (Mp3 Download) Album Review

Lots of ballads and a few rockers is what Theory of a Deadman’s the truth is. None of the songs here are as good as the brilliant “Hate My Life”, but some of the ballads are pretty good. 12 songs plus 4 bonus tracks and 2 acoustic renditions. Out of the 18 songs, 6 songs are...

Saliva – Never Let You Go (Mp3 Download) Review

After listening to Saliva’s new album, there’s nothing salivating about it. I used to like some of their previous tunes especially the noisy “Broken Sunday”. This time, I’m picking a rock ballad as their best song and should be released into the music charts. It...

Trust Company – Alone Again (Mp3 Download) Review

I’m loving this rock ballad by Trust Company, their best track by a million miles of the latest album. Their singing style is similar to a band called Default but the music has more bite. I think you can call their genre Alternative Metal, a genre that I am liking very...

Hinder – The Life (Mp3 Download) Review

The first of Hinder’s ballad of their new album. While it may not have the invincibility of “Lips of an Angel” or “Without You”, it’s still a pretty decent rock ballad. It may not hit you right between the eyes immediately, but I’m sure it’ll...

Michael Bormann – Don’t You Tell Me (Mp3 Download) Review

I have never heard of this dude, who’s apparently been in the music scene for a long time, in Germany. He doesn’t really have a distinct voice but definitely rock-worthy. After listening to an album which I swore was written in the 80s, this rock ballad stood out the most. While it...

Stereoside – Walk Alone Back To You (Mp3 Download) Review

This is a decent rock ballad by Stereoside and it reminds me of the rock bands of yesteryears, where rock was just that – ROCK. While the verses don’t jump out and grab you by the balls with its melody, the lyrics on the other hand smacks you right in the bum to take attention....

One Less Reason – Where Did You Go (Mp3 Download) Review

A modern rock ballad of sorts without too much uniqueness about it. While it doesn’t have the staying power like Hinder’s Lips of an Angel or Lenny Kravitz’s Again or Nickelback’s Far Away, it still a pretty decent ballad. The album’s not too wonky either, a...

Firehouse – Dream (Mp3 Download) Jul31

Firehouse – Dream (Mp3 Download)

This is an old song by Firehouse, 12 years to be exact. It was from the album after the album that gave us “I Live My Life For You”. While this song fails to capture the momentum of that track, it’s still a decent rock ballad of sorts. I know many people have a love-hate...

Adelitas Way – Last Stand (Song Review)

The lead singer sounds very similar to Daughtry, and I’m not sure if that’s a compliment. Haha! Anyway, they managed to pull off a decent rock ballad, though some parts sounds a little formulaic. However, it’s good enough to please you rockers. DOWNLOAD Adelitas Way –...

Bon Jovi – In These Arms (Keep the Faith) Dec14

Bon Jovi – In These Arms (Keep the Faith)

[ad] As always, I typically say these words when I blog about a Bon Jovi song – “It’s one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs”, from easily over 120 of them. This track taken off 1992′s Keep the Faith did fairly well in the American and British Charts. It speaks of...
