Linkin Park They have changed in Minutes to Midnight, and the metamorphosis isn't a positive one.This album lacks the heavyweight that characterized its predecessors. Most of the tracks are soft. Gone is the Points of Authority style headbanging except maybe that guitar solo part of What I've Done.Undoubtedly, this album is the type that grows each time you play it, but it simply doesn't do what fans of the band wanted it to do and seems I've always preferred Chester's raspy vocals to Shinoda's rapping, but he's so underutilized on this album that you realize that he's an integral part to the Linkin Park sound MC Mike Shinoda drops the two best verses of his career, blending vocal styles with singer Chester Bennington for a moving song piece.Mike Shinoda's rapping presence is minimal.The fusion of his rapping and Chester's vocals combined with excellent beats and melodies makes the band.
this album is the type that grows each time you play it, but it simply doesn't do what fans of the band wanted it to do. There are a few hints of where the band has been but I must admit that their intent to sound different did not produce good results.This change was not a welcome one, and anyone who loved the first two albums may doubt with this Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight

Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
Labels: linkin park
Metallica - Death Magnetic
Metallica Death Magnetic is also its first with renowned producer Rick Rubin (Danzig, Slayer, System Of A Down,Slipknot), first with bassist Robert Trujillo, and first on Warner Bros. Heavy and thrash y.And seems Unlike "Load" and "Reload", "Death Magnetic" avoids the bluesy, dirty grinding songs, and unlike "St. Anger" this one aims for strong hooks, harmonies structure and flow. Metallica attempts to win back their old fans while retaining their new ones. This CD ought to hold most everyone's attention, at least initially.
However "Death Magnetic" is not a new Master but rather a culmination of everything these guys have every done. While many songs will remind listeners of "Justice" "Broken, Beat and Scarred" is reminiscent of "St. Anger" with its chants of "what don't kill ya, makes ya more strong" and riffing rather than solos.It's packed with amazing scorching solos that will just pummel your eardrums in rhythmic fashion. It's heavy and progressive, lots of long instrumentals carried by some pounding drumbeats. The kind of stuff that will scare old people. With their first radio release The Day That Never Comes, there are some grating guitar riffs that are undeniably borrowed from the song One. Maybe not too original, but it sounds excellent. Lyrically, the rage and rebellious spirit is still there, maybe slightly less convincing than the younger days but still well written.
All in all, this is a very solid effort. Metallica attempts to win back their old fans while retaining their new ones but expect reaction to it to be very mixed. The part of the Metallica fan base who will enjoy this the most are those who liked ...And Justice For All and The Black Album.

Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity
Labels: Dream theater
Metallica - ( black album )
It is known also as "the Black Album" , Metallica marks the group's entrance into the mainstream, with shorter songs, simpler song structures, and slower tempos overall. That said, this is an excellent album, featuring some of the best songwriting Metallica has ever done. "Enter Sandman," "Wherever I May Roam," and "God That Failed," despite being slower and more groove-oriented than the band's earlier work, feature the same heavy riffs and heavier rhythms that have always been a feature of Metallica's music.The songs are full of crunch and vitriol, and the two ballads ("Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters") are very emotional and melodic."The Unforgiven". This is one of the best ballads ever, with very emotional lyrics and a great vocal performance from James Hetfield.
Metallica's breakthrough album, the Black album. This is what put Metallica into the mainstream, and it is indeed a masterpeice. Every song on this on is a classic. The talent is all there. The production is crystal clear. Everything about this album is epic.Jason Newsted also gets a chance to prove himself on this one. As a bassist, I believe his bass lines on the slower songs to showcase his talent the most. He packs a lot of emotion, especially in Nothing Else Matters.The Black Album was still Metallica to most of us, and it wouldn't be until the release of the ever-strange "Load" album that fans would learn to appreciate Metallica's

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
This is Metallica's second album, 1984's "Ride the Lightning,"the song "Creeping Death" is another thrash gem, which features Hammet in full force at lead guitar. It is a haunting and powerful track that also has a lot of diversity in chorus and overall structure. The album rounds out with a song based on the Lovecraft mythos in the famous "The Call of Ktulu". You will see the spelling of Ktulu vary from Metallica's to Lovecraft's and other sources as well.
This track starts out with a melodic guitar pace that dances along a doom laden sound scape before revving up into an aggressive assault of guitars that progresses further on with the original intro's riffs. Louder and louder it climbs and eventually you are hearing a masterful instrumental track that clocks in at over eight minutes long. This was also the first instrumental in which all the members played together, giving it that much more power.
"Ride the Lightning has a great opening riff by Hammet that is heard off and on throughout the song. The songwriting on this album is superb as we can clearly hear the story of the electric chair's recipient being played out before us. The gothic "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is stoic as it gongs an old church bell at the beginning of the song, which quickly leads into a wide range of guitar work.

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
The Rolling Stones proved to be just at the beginning of their superstar period when STICKY FINGERS became their first #1 album in 6 years, and also was the first in an enviable stretch of 8 consecutive albums to top the charts.The Beatles bowed out early, so their friendly rivals the Rolling Stones were left standing to sit atop the throne.
"Brown Sugar" & "Wild Horses" had been recorded in Muscle Shoals, during the Stones' infamous 1969 American Tour. That they stand as some of STICKY FINGERS' hardest tracks comes as no surprise.But The Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones died mysteriously on July 3, 1969, and had been replaced by Mick Taylor only a few songs into the sessions for LET IT BLEED.Along with Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Exile On Main Street, this is arguably the greatest album ever by the world's greatest rock 'n roll band. This is the post-60's peace and love, nasty early 70's hard core drug inspired kick ass Stones at their pinnacle. Played out classics include "Brown Sugar," "Bitch" and "Wild Horses,"
Billy Preston guest stars with his classic afro organ sound on the bittersweet "I Got the Blues." Then hold on to your hats, turn down the lights and contemplate the mysteries of the Holy Trinity of "Sister Morphine," "Dead Flowers" and "Moonlight Mile,""Dead Flowers" sends up twang-heavy country music even as it manages to be a fine document of the genre itself,and also an incredible sequence of Mick, Keith, Mick Talyor and Ry Cooder genius that will leave you heart strain down.

Metallica - Master of Puppets
MASTER OF PUPPETS was the third studio album released by the band after "Kill 'em All" and "Ride the Lightning"."MASTER OF PUPPETS" features some of the heaviest and innovative metal the band produced. From the opening riff that leads into the first song "Battery" to the finale of doom laden thrash on "Damage Inc.", the album retains throughout a deep and unique power that has made it a somewhat timeless gem among fans of the band's earlier days.
The newer generation of "Load" fans may ask in what came after 1992, when it was obvious the bands sound and vision was taking a turn away from the moody, technically superb masterpieces that came before.
Here about MASTER OF PUPPETS
"Battery": great acoustic intro leading into a maniacal barrage of Hetfield's harsh vocals and Ulrich's pounding drums that literally batter their way through your ears.-"Master of Puppets": a classic in the truest sense of the word. Like "Battery," this song is fast, hard, and it beckons with energy the question of who is truly the puppet and who is the puppeteer.-"The Thing that Should Not Be": again, a great acoustic intro that leads into a hardcore thrash rhythm -"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)": the lyrics are the real gem here, telling the story of a mental patient from inside the patient's mind. The music is great, but the lyrics can haunt you if you're not careful.-"Disposable Heroes": while I may like their later song "One" better in terms of the lyrical device of the soldier's point of view, I still give this one credit since it came first, and let's face it...everything on this album kicks serious parse, including this one.-"Leper Messiah" and"Orion": great instrumental, with a militaristic march that echoes the grandeur of Wagner, but without being oppressive. This is something for the Metal Militia to use as a war cry."Damage Inc.": while my favorites song on this album is "Fade to Black" in its progression of intensity. It starts with haunting melodies, turning up the crunch for the chorus, then kicks into high gear with a weighty, fast riff and a glistening lead that carries the song to its vengeful apogee. Hetfield isn't quite a master lyricist.

Dream Theater - Awake
As time progressed this is not a Dream Theater album for beginners, because of how heavy it is, but even if it is a first, you may might like it in the end. It was, after all, my first, and now they're one of my favorite bands. Regardless, this is a must for any Dream Theater fan. A dark, overlooked masterpiece.While lyrics deal with addiction, betrayal, love, hate, a veritable collage of human emotions. This album has some of their heaviest riffs, and some of their most beautiful melodies. "6:00", while not their best song, is one of their most aggressive, and indeed a great way to start off an album like this. "The Mirror" and "Lie" are a great one-two punch of crunchy riffs, and great lyrics and vocals.

Metallica - And Justice for All
Metallica - And Justice for All,This is probably Metallica's most sophisticated album, exploring the theme of justice and perversions thereof with a vengeance. "One" is one of their best songs ever, building from a slow, edgy beginning into effortless overdrive.Metallica's fourth album was their first without original bassist Cliff Burton and with his replacement, Jason Newstead.Metallica returned with a vengeance on AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. All the anger and sadness they held in on the death of bassist Cliff Burton was unleashed on the record buying public.
"One" is one of Metallica's best songs ever! It begins as a power ballad, but it subtly and greatly gains momentum, volume, and speed, and around four and a half minutes in (during the bridge after the third chorus), The tale of a soldier who has stepped on a land mine and now is an armless, legless, and blind vegetable. You can almost hear the desperation, the pain and the fury of being hooked up to a life support machine in Hetfield's vocal performance. The track goes from heavy ballad to out- and-out thrash with a deft flick of the wrist. Kirk's searing lead break and Ulrich's machine gun drumming compliment the tune perfectly.the thunderous double bass drumming and almost machine gun riffs make the song heavy.
The abrupt change of pace in the track's middle only goes to prove what an impressive drummer Lars Ulrich can be. Kirk Hammet's lead solo incredibly shows an improvement since the `Master of Puppets' album. An intelligent update of the `Ride the Lightning' leadoff track, `Fight Fire With Fire'.Unfortunately for new boy bassist Jason Newsted, the house producer Fleming Rasmussen buries his contributions way into the mix, so it sometimes sounds like he's absent.
However This album is considered by many fans to be this band's best. Like Metallica's first three and fifth albums, "...And Justice for All" is a classic from beginning to end, and it's worth buying just for the singles ("Blackened," "Harvester of Sorrow," the title track, "Frayed Ends of Sanity," and, especially, one of Metallica's best songs ever--"One.")

Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Metallica album "Kill `Em All" is the sound of original thrash metal.Since this is the first available album that James, Kirk, Lars, and Cliff played together, it is somewhat immature.The original Metallica: James Hetfield (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Cliff Burton (Bass Guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums) AND DAVE MUSTAINE (LEAD GUITAR)!!! Most of the leads and riffs you'll hear on Kill 'Em All were written by Dave Mustaine which is why the 1st Metallica album sounds more like a Megadeth record than any other Metallica record.Even though it may not be the best representation of Metallica, and it's not as classic or essential as Metallica's second and third albums, it's still a great listen and it is very highly recommend for all metalheads

8. No Remorse
9. Seek And Destroy
10. Metal Militia
Kill 'Em All is a flawless rundown of Metallica classics from The Four Horsemen to Motorbreath to Seek and Destroy, the riffs just keep coming.And "Kill `Em All" is still a very entertaining listen and great thrash. It may not be as brutal or rapid as say Slayer, but it's very catchy and full of fiery, breakneck-speed, buzz saw guitar riffs and scorching solos.
My favorites song in this album is "Seek & Destroy" has another very famous opening guitar melody, before it turns to crunchy riffs. This song is, musically, fairly repetitive, but it's still plenty catchy.

Linkin Park - Meteora
This linkin park album is a lot less fluid and rap influenced than "Hybrid Theory."so this album "Meteora" is dancer, with more real singing and there sure is a lot more yelling.They may not have the most complex guitar out there and their songs are very structurally similar, but really, Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" was one of the catchiest, most energetic, and innovative album.

13. Numb
"Somewhere I Belong" has a good intro which leads into the guitars. The first single of Meteora pretty good rapping with good DJ scratches, but I must have heard this song too much or something, because now I hardly listen to anything past two minutes into the song sounds like it was constructed from the ground up to be a radio hit in the vein of In The End. That said, the interesting sampling and really beautiful piano part make this track a very memorable in its own right.
"Lying from You" has another good intro sample laced guitar riffs and thunderous vocals make this one of the most mammoth tracks on the album, then explodes into the guitars. There are some good, swirling riffs and a couple of good DJ scratches on this song.
"Hit the Floor" grind well Hit The Floor features some spectacular samples, skull crushing riffs and screaming, and some real tricky rapping from Mike Shinoda.the bridge, and the chorus has the same sort of weirdly catchy syncopation as By Myself while "Easier to Run" boasts an irresistible,Everything about this track smacks of an ill fated attempt to recapture the awesome grandeur off their old single, "Crawling". Though the rapping part is alright sing along chorus with soaring vocals. All of which would've made this song a good single. Most of the songs on this C.D. are centered around a similar, big and catchy chorus.
"Faint" begins with what sounds like almost an orchestra, then turns to a typical rap/rock song. The rap on this one is smoothe and the yelling parts are towering, but what I enjoy most on this song is the catchy drum beat and the way the guitars start and stop.
However, there are some "Hybrid Theory"-Esquire moments:
"Breaking the Habit" is a personal favorite. It's a techno cut,A really weird sample, featuring Spanish guitar, live orchestra making it a lot less noisy than all the other songs. The vocals are calmly sung over the soft strings, a repeating drum beat and DJ scratching.Even though it's techno, because it's very nearly danceable.
"Nobody's Listening" is more of a straight forward rap song,A cool hip-hop track with some unique flute samples, clips of High Voltage with another good chorus, while "Session" is An awesome instrumental which echoes "Cure for the Itch".the layering of sounds and seriously wicked dj solo make this far better than any of Linkin Park's past instrumentals. This song again shows us how talented the DJ (Joseph Hahn) is.with "Meteora", it's also safe to say that the guitars are very much involved.

Metallica - Load
Metallica has such a successfully realised metal sound, and their four 1980s albums are all fantastic. Those records are masterpieces.LOAD era is a different animal altogether, and Metallica were trying to find a new sonic identity. They still feeling their way into the new artistic direction.Load is released to perplexed fans. "Cut hair, pimp suits, goth makeup in their music videos? What? This is not Metallica!" And in a way, it wasn't.
Load does have an alternative sound, so it appeals to more of the general population I think Metallica were forced to make an album like "Load," because they had to evolve and change their sound. It's what bands do; it's how the listener is able to discern between albums!If you think "Load" marked the end of Metallica, then you're not a true fan. This isn't Metallica's best work, but it's really not half bad
Well I think this is NOT a bad album. The wisely chosen, up-tempo single "Ain't My B -tch," the bluesy "2 X 4," "Until It Sleeps," and "King Nothing"are all quite catchy. Plus, "Until It Sleeps" kind of sounds like a "Black Album" b-side and "King Nothing" has a nice Hammett solo. Other standout tracks are "Bleeding Me" (which, even though is an overly long song, gradually gains momentum and has another cool guitar solo), "Mama Said" (which is a ballad with soft, acoustic strumming), "Wasting My Hate" and "Thorn Within" are like the first track because they have semi-heavy riffs, and the opening part of "Ronnie" is a worthy of a toe-tapping.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory Track Listings
Papercut
A great song, powerful intro begins with an almost danceable, rapped throughout,electronic beat , before the guitars hit the scene. This song has the album's biggest guitar riffs. Intense start, emotional finish.
One Step Closer
The hardest song on the CD. Free of rapping. Very intense; the second best on the CD
With You
Very rythmatic, with a lot of beats and scratching in the background. Nice song.
Points Of Authority
No raps except the beginning and has the guitarist playing crunchy riffs over a catchy, DJ driven beat. My favorite part of this song is the end, when the DJ mixes things up and changes the beat three times.
Crawling
Awesome work this song very popular in my country.
Runaway
Not very good for their standard, but still a good song; all about betrayal
By Myself
mixes throbbing guitars and a spacey beat. A sleepy rap, nice job, with what seems like a crash in the background.The song eventually gains momentum off itself and has big choruses.
In the End
begins with what sounds like a piano (making a "ding dong" sound) and swift rap. By the end, however, it's the same old Linkin Park One of the best nu-metal songs ever. Rapped and rocked in various spots morphs into a rock song with normal, elongated singing.
A Place for My Head
Mostly rapped, very rapid fire style, about being used by people
Forgotten
includes throbbing riffs with catchy DJ scratching thrown in between. A hard rap about tough times.Chester begins by almost whispering and ends by almost yelling.
Cure for the Itch
Record sampling all about rhythms and beats. No singing, just the DJ at work is an instrumental which shows how talented DJ Hahn , if you didn't already know. He makes all kinds of different and very catchy beats.
Pushing Me Away
Lighter rock, only a little rapping
Hybrid Theory plays as a complete album, there are no throw away tracks here.Linkin Park are a great new band who do what they do as good or better than anybody else.Linkin Park uses two vocalists, one singing and one rapping along with a dj and the results are spectacular Mike Shinoda handles the rapping while Chester Bennington does the singing/crooning and yelling over the hard choruses. That's another reason why this album is so good.

Joe Satriani - Super Colossal
Labels: Joe Satriani
elvis - #1 Hits
Elvis - #1 Hits, this is the album is No. 1 on Billboard's charts the first week of its release.The purity of Elvis' voice and clarity of the music is evident from the first song.this updates RCA's 1987 18-track "The Number One Hits" by also including his British No. 1's. Elvis' last U.S. No. 1 was 1969's "Suspicious Minds." But "The Wonder of You" (1970), "Burning Love" (1972) and "Way Down" all hit the top spot in the U.K. In fact, "Way Down" (1976) spent five weeks at No. 1. The other big surprise was 1960's "Wooden Heart," taken from the movie G.I. Blues.Every song sounds better than ever before, whether it's the acoustic guitar on "Love Me Tender" or the electric guitar and Dixieland band on "Hard Headed Woman." Only Elvis could follow the rocking "(You're The) Devil In Disguise" with the gospel song "Crying In The Chapel" and have both songs reach #1. The live version of "The Wonder Of You" included here differs slightly from the familiar version, but is equally great.If you are new to the music of Elvis Presley or someone who grew up with his music, I don't feel you can go wrong with purchasing "30" at all. It's a sunny day outside and hearing these songs gives me that feeling of enjoying the sounds, message and persona that is Elvis Presley.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Surfing With the Alien was Joe's first successful record, and after listening to it just once you'll understand why. Joe eschews needless self-indulgence like most 'guitar heroes' and just plays rocking songs with interesting melodies.This album showcases a brilliant musician at the height of his powers and is probably his best album; at the very least, it's my favourite work of his as it manages to show the versatility and technical proficiency of Joe in 10 fabulous tracks.What I like about Joe as well is his great humility and generosity. He doesn't keep what he knows to himself like a trade secret but he openly shares his knowledge and is a great guitar teacher. He's had Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett among his long list of admirers and students and he continues to inspire guitar enthusiasts and dummy guitarists like myself after all these years.

Nirvana - Bleach
It was released on the legendary indie label Sub Pop.Nirvana's debut album "Bleach" met with little fanfare upon its release in 1989.Released on the seminal Seattle label, Sub Pop, the album is an impressive work. Kurt Cobain was a troubled young man and his conflicts, fears and angst drove his music. Bleach has a much heavy grunge sound to it than their subsequent releases, but it still has the crisp melodies that separated the band from the rest of the grunge artists.
"Bleach" is grunge in its truest sense-distorted guitars, fuzz, feedback etc.Songs like "About A Girl", "Negative Creep" and "Blew" have almost pop sensibilities but unlike most happy, sunny pop songs, the lyrics about hurt, obsession, betrayal.While the songs aren't as tightly written as those on "Nevermind" and "In Utero," it's still a fine collection of well-crafted songs. Most of the songs are powerful barrages of machine gun guitars and stinging feedback.At the height of hair-metal, few outside the Seattle underground scene had heard of the band, much less the word "grunge."

Led Zeppelin (2003)
Led Zeppelin Guitarist Jimmy Page explained: "We were never really part of the pop scene. It was never what Led Zeppelin was supposed to be about. Our thing was playing live. In that sense, Zeppelin was very much an underground band. The fact that it became as successful as it did was something that was almost out of our control. We actually shunned commercialism, which is why so little official footage of the band has ever been seen before.Featured on the DVD are Led Zeppelin performances from London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, just a year after the release of their debut album, their five-night run at London's Earl's Court in May 1975 and Led Zeppelin record-breaking shows at England's Knebworth Festival in August 1979, just a year before drummer John Bonham's death led to the band's dissolution.Also included are songs from New York's Madison Square Garden in July 1973 that were not included in "The Song Remains The Same" concert film, the only previously released live Led Zeppelin footage.

19. God Gave Me Style
20. So Amazing
50 cent famous because of Eminem and because for some reason psychologists have yet to explain, there are those who consider drugs, gangs, mistreatment of women and violence. He is yet another young man from a whole generation of fatherless, poor, angry men. While he preaches about poverty, his violent past, the glory of gangs and contempt of women, he travels between his multimillion dollar homes with body guards, lawyers, PR guys and groupies.Back to his album "In My Hood" gets the album off to a solid start, it's a typical 50 Cent hood song and has a great beat by C. Styles & Bang Out. Overall it's good, but it's nothing special (although the Saxophone part that closes the track is real nice). "This Is 50" has a pretty grimy beat, but 50's drawl at the end of every line seems all too formulaic, taking a page right out of "Blood Hound" from "Get Rich...". It could easily grow on the listener though. Lyrically 50 copies his previous effort again with "I'm Supposed To Die Tonight" (aka "Many Men" Pt. II). That being said it's one of the better tracks on the album with Eminem's production being the perfect marriage for the 50's subject matter.

Led Zeppelin 3 ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED
Led Zeppelin showed that they had more than just a heavy metal side. Led Zeppelin III has an acoustic based, earthy sound and in most places finds the band in a mellow mood. "Immigrant Song" opens the album with a driving kick that belies what will follow. "Friends" and "Celebration Day" show off Jimmy Page's skills on the acoustic guitar while retaining the power of their electric work.Even other electric rockers like "Celebration Day" and "Out on the Tiles" have an inventive, offbeat musicality to them that suggest the band was already wary of stereotyping.Teased with "Immigrant Song" and Part 2 of Friends, "Celebration Day," no one could lower their heart rate in time to appreciate acoustic classics like "Tangerine," "Gallows Pole," and "That's the Way."the acoustic nature of it was a precursor to the Unplugged albums of the 90's and the album deserves alot more credit.

White Lion - Remembering White Lion
This is White lion's album of re done new versions of the classic songs.
The only original member left is lead singer Mike Tramp and this album is still good, the new versions are different and should be heard as new songs and not compared with the original versions. Anyway, at least Mike Tramp is trying to put out music again. He should get a new band and new songs though, and see what happens.
Actually Remembering White Lion It's not White Lion. It's not Vito Bratta. It's Mike Tramp singing the old White lion songs all on his own. The only thing Remembering White Lion has in common with White Lion is that their singer Mike Tramp 'tried' to re-record them on his own, without the rest of the band. And, this shows. The music on this CD does not in any way resemble what guitarist Vito Bratta and vocalist Mike Tramp wrote together back 15 years ago.I can understand why so many people are disappointed with it, but I still think it was great to hear these classics again after all these years.

The Beatles' "Abbey Road" was the goofy album cover where all four band members are crossing the street.There is not a false note on this album. It kicks off with a forceful vocal from John Lennon on "Come Together," which is balanced by the tenderness of "Something," one of George Harrison's best songs.

White Lion - The Best of White Lion
The Best of White Lion' is a fantastic collection from a band that, while they teased their hair as high as anyone, actually carried musical chops that were rare within the genre.Vito Bratta was, at one point, considered the heir apparent to Eddie Van Halen as THE metal guitarist.This is a decent collection that includes most of what it should. "Wait" and "When The Children Cry" seem to be the most popular, but I also really like "Tell Me", "Little Fighter", and "Farewell To You". Their cover of "Radar Love" is good too. Overall it's a great bunch of songs, and will go perfectly with your "Great White" and "Whitesnake" album.While Vito displayed a technical proficiency that garnered enormous respect for him. That respect hasn't faded away, even though Vito himself seems to have. Greg D'Angelo could pound the skins with the best of anyone at that time, and James Lomenzo's bass playing rounded out the rhythm section. Mike Tramp added a very distinct vocal style, helping to complete the band's unique sound.

Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Dream Theater's new album is definitely their heaviest since "Awake", if not ever. It's mostly good, and I like it better than their last album, "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence". It's less experimental, Progressive rock metal bands. By being the number one progressive band in the world they have been anointed to carry the torch throuand a more straight-forward sounding progressive metal album.There's pros and cons to the heavier, more aggressive sound on this album. There's definitely a lack of great melodies, especially during the instrumental sections, which instead of interesting melodic lines, they are pretty much just going up and down scales.Dream Theater is the most visible, most revered and best known of all gh the dark passages of mundane popular music. Though they are not my personal favorite Progressive band.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
1. A Hard Day's Night
2. I Should Have Known Better.
John's harmonica opens the lively "I Should Have Known Better", with great backing from George's guitar.
3. If I Fell
"If I Fell", sung by John, but with harmonies sung by him and Paul is one of two great ballads here, and showed how they were progressing in comparison to their contemporaries.
4. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
"I'm Happy Just To Dance With Her" is George's only lead vocal, and like "Do You Want To Know A Secret", is a Lennon composition. With the later albums, George would sing the stuff he wrote.
5. And I Love Her
"And I Love Her", the other sweet romantic ballad, is sung by Paul, with Ringo doing some work on bongos. This is one of the reasons why I favour Paul's vocal talents over the other three.
6. Tell Me Why
"Tell Me Why" is the really racing number the Fabs do at the concert finale in the movie
7. Can't Buy Me Love
"Can't Buy Me Love", sung by Paul, is the other song I'd nominate as having that classic Beatles sound. No shot in the arm for materialism here: "I don't care too much for money/money can't buy me love"
8. Any Time At All
"Any Time At All" has John assuring a girl that "Anytime at all, all you gotta do is call and I'll be there.
9. I'll Cry Instead
"I'll Cry Instead" has that late 50's sound the Beatles were used to covering in their early days. I detect a melody similar to the Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" in some parts
10. Things We Said Today
"Things We Said Today", another Paul number, is a reflective but mid-paced number distinctive in having that opening guitar riff that repeats itself after Paul finishes the chorus.
11. When I Get Home
12. You Can't Do That
13. I'll Be Back
The last three songs are all John songs: there's a kind of stomping rhythm in "When I Get Home", "You Can't Do That" is one of those jealous man songs that would figure later in Rubber Soul--e.g. "Run For Your Life". The slightly gentler "I'll Be Back" seems to be an afterthought to "You Can't Do That"

Is you like 50, you'll like this, and if you don't, he's not going to convert you with Get Rich or Die Tryin'.Anybody who would mention such output in the same breath as Illmatic, Ready to Die, Nation of Millions, or any other bona fide classic probably became a Hip Hop head five minutes ago when they first saw Eminem on MTV.Namely, that rappers and their fans are terrified of standing out from the crowd, making originality of thought or expression a virtual impossibility.

The Beatles - 1962-1966 (The Red Album)
It begins with their 1st single "Love Me Do", has the essentials like "Yesterday" (the most covered Beatles tune in history), "A Hard Day's Night", "She Loves You", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (their 1st single in America), "Eleanor Rigby" (the beginning of their experimental phase), "Help!" (which was literally John's plea for help), and "In My Life". They feature the 1st ever "intentional" feedback on "I Feel Fine" and John once called the "Ticket to Ride" "1st heavy metal song" (Come on, John! It's a rocker but not the Yardbirds!). "Nowhere Man" is a song John wrote about himself.

Paris Hilton Album singer
Paris Hilton's CD is less of a record than a digital creation.Reality show star, amateur porn hobbyist and regular party fixture; hotel heiress Paris Hilton has decided she would also like to try her hand at being a pop singer She may have hired big-time producers, but even they can't make Paris sound good. And I felt that the producers wasted any little bit of pop potential that these songs had, as the record sounds fake and joyless.Although Music is about passion and talent. The only thing paris has a passion for is money and her only talent is spending it.

Aerosmith - Big Ones
The guitar performances, Tyler's vocals and superb drumming make this band one of the very best ever and hearing these tunes back to back confirms it. Highly recommended.
Janie's Got a Gun was a serious look into a tragic situation.That's not something you find in most rocker's music collections. I also thought that the Aerosmith of the 80s-90s was fantastic as well.And the songs are powerfull.

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York [LIVE]
The album Nirvana's Unplugged remains one of the band's most majestic moments.It was recorded just six months before the death of Kurt Cobain and released just six months after.November of 1994 saw the release of Nirvana's first posthumous album, "MTV Unplugged in New York." Kurt Cobain seems completely relaxed throughout, and he gives some staggeringly beautiful vocal performances. Dave Grohl plays the drums with wire brushes and demonstrates that he was just as capable of subtle shading as he was at hard-hitting fury. Krist Novoselic proves himself to be a worthwhile musician as well, playing accordion on "Jesus Doen't Want Me For a Sunbeam" in additon to playing a very solid-yet-laid back acoustic bass."MTV Unplugged in New York City" would be a somber enough album as is, but considering Cobain died shortly after it was recorded, the album takes on special meaning.
The album possesses the tone and atmosphere of a funeral, although it's not so depressing that it becomes unlistenable.The Nirvana power trio of Cobain, (guitar, vocals) Dave Grohl, (drums, bass) and Krist Novoselic (bass, accordion, guitar) is joined by Pat Smear (guitar). Lori Goldston (cello) joins the band for many of the songs. Curt and Cris Kirkwood (guitar, bass) of the Meat Puppets join the band for three renditions of songs from the Meat Puppets "Meat Puppets II" (1984). A second guitar player thickens the sound and leaves Cobain free to solo. The added cello works very nicely, enhancing and enriching the songs. The added cello especially shines in "Pennyroyal Tea" and "Something in the way." this is the best live album of the 1990's and among the best ever.

Dream Theater - Octavarium
"Octavarium", Dream Theater's ninth studio album, is definitely a change in direction from "Train of Thought".Bassist John Myung propels album opener "The Root Of All Evil" with a weight equal to that of Mike Portnoy's forceful but finessed drumming and guitarist John Petrucci's masterful riffing which seems once more to widen the realm of possibilities available on the instrument. Keyboardist Jordan Rudess lends subtle and deft touches throughout helping further solidify the outfit's equally strong footing in the worlds of heavy and progressive rock.Since 1994, Dream Theater has followed an uncanny pattern in album excellence. "Awake" was unbelievable - "Falling Into Infinity" was pretty good - "Scenes From a Memory" is the best album of all time - "Six Degrees ..." has its creative merits - "Train of Thought" is an unstoppable beast.Although the album Octavarium may not survive the test of time like "Images and Words" or "Scenes From a Memory" have, it is still a delightful listen and an impressive creative output.

Aerosmith - Get Your Wings
I could not talk to much.By 'Get Your Wings', Aerosmith began to sound more and more like the band that produced classic songs like "Walk This Way" and "Back In The Saddle". Steven Tyler's singing voice began to take on the high-pitched, over-the-top sound that made him one of the most identifiable singers in rock n' roll. Aerosmith even began to branch out their songs, playing more original, experimental, and darker tracks that distinguished them from other blues and Led Zeppelin clones.'Get Your Wings' is a fantastic album, and unfortunately is often overlooked by fans of Aerosmith's earlier material. This album has a very mature sound, and Joe Perry and Steven Tyler display some of their best work here. Aerosmith would go on to even greater success with 'Toys In The Attic' and 'Rocks', but you shouldn't overlook their first albums, because they are just as good

Nirvana - In Utero
Nirvana "In Utero" consider to be one of the best rock albums of the 90's.Nirvana's greatest single musical accomplishment in their short lived career as the world's biggest and best rock band in the world."Nevermind" has made Nirvana the most famous rock band in the world. In Utero, deal with the high price of fame. "Serve The Servants", "Scentless Apprentice", "Dumb" and "Milk It" deal with the trappings of superstardom. "Frances Farmer Will Get Her Revenge On Seattle" is a powerful song about the former actress who went crazy from the pressures of Hollywood. Not everything is about rock stardom though. "Heart Shaped Box" is about his relationship with Courtney Love and it is one of the most stingingly powerful songs the band ever recorded. "Pennyroyal Tea" is a soft and almost touching song that stands out next to a song of unbridled fury like "Tourette's". "Rape Me" opens up quietly with the guitar riff from "Smell Like Teen Spirit" before diving into a furious crashing of guitars. It was their second album and sold a staggering 18 million copies worldwide.After the huge success of Nevermind, Nirvana became reluctant superstars and the poster boys for the new Alternative music scene.
Nirvana blazed fiercely as the most revolutionary and influential rock act since the Beatles

A treasure-trove for Dream Theater fans, Live at Budokan presents an entire three-hour performance at Tokyo's famed Budokan arena on April 26, 2004, along with a bonus disc rich in supplementary material.Dream Theater live at the historical Japanese avenue, the Budokan, at their finest. i think DT have taken their music at another highest after having Rudess on keys, he is much more than just a keyboardist, combining speed, technique, musicality, together with Petrucci, Portnoy and Myung, they expanded their musical level to somewhere that no one had done before.There is a very cool documentary of the band on tour in Japan. John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess take us into their worlds and show their equipment setup. There's also an interesting video history of the band that takes us back to the beginning where it all began.

The Beatles - 1967-1970 (The Blue Album)
The Beatles greatest songs have been compiled only one time in the last 30 years, in 2000's "1". It's fun to go back to the companion 1973 releases "1962-1966" and this "1967-1970" (28 tracks, 99 min.), and marvel in particular at the latter's song selection and sequencing."1967-1970" compiles singles, Number One hits, and key album cuts from the "Sgt. Pepper," "The Beatles," "Abbey Road," and "Let it Be" albums. Unlike "1," which excludes important tracks that didn't top the chart, the Blue album is a more comprehensive survey of the group's later work. There's the deliciously trippy "Strawberry Fields Forever," the impossibly catchy "Revolution," George Harrison's masterpiece "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and " don't let me down.

Aerosmith-Great album [LIMITED EDITION] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
If 'Dream On' was the only good song on the record, this would still be a great album. But there is so much more. 'Mama Kin' is a great rocker, and so is 'Movin' Out.' The rest of the album is great too. All in all, Aerosmith's debut album is highly recommended.So If you are new to Aerosmith and want to get into their old stuff you won't be disappointed. Or if you're an old fan who hasn't quite gotten around to pickin up Aerosmith's substantial catalog do yourself a favor and pick it up now

Madonna - The Immaculate Collection (1990) album
The video and sound quality are great Although it is not a complete collection of her videos since her early beginnings, Madonna's "Immaculate Collection," features some of her greatest videos that made her an MTV darling throughout the 1980's.The Immaculate Collection DVD is a set of several of Madonna's earliest videos; and this DVD starts off strong with the beautiful "Lucky Star." Madonna dances up against a white background with merely two background dancers for much of the length of this number. Nevertheless, in "Lucky Star" Madonna already begins to beg and work her way into your heart not merely as a very attractive young woman but also as a legitimate artist singing, dancing and pouring her heart out. "Borderline" follows and the action speeds up with something of a plot going on while Madonna sings.So If you've been burned out on the other 12 selections, then make this your main objective - it's classic if ever there was one in Madonna's musical history.
Labels: madonna
White Lion - Mane Attraction
Mane Attraction is White Lion's final studio album, is also its best.As good as Mane Attraction's songs are, there's nothing at the same level as Cry for Freedom or Little Fighter on this album.Tracks three and four keep the fast beat alive, but oddly do a nice job to set the stage for the beautiful power ballad "You're All I Need." The following song, "It's Over" is a great transition song to go from the guitar-ridden ballad to track 7, "War song," in which the bassist James Lomenzo gets a chance to really strut his stuff.While the fact that lead singer Mike Tramp, unlike many of the so-called "hair band" singers makes this CD a great purchase for both your ears.
