After a 4-year hiatus, Fall Out Boy has finally released their comeback album to much fanfare. In those years they were inactive, the most popular members of Fall Out Boy, vocalist Patrick Stump and bassist Pete Wentz, embarked on side projects with Patrick Stump releasing a solo album. Even when they weren’t releasing new material, FOB still remained a [...]
Justin Timberlake’s third solo album has not only defied the expectations of most music lovers and music critics alike—it has also become one of the fastest selling albums in the last several years. And we are talking about actual physical hard copies of the album, and not only digital sales.
When you speak of one of the most successful bands to have ever come out from the 80′s and definitely one of the best artists from the state of New Jersey, look no further and focus on one name—and that is Bon Jovi.
The one time quintet has now dwindled to a trio. But the unwanted downsizing of Paramore has only truly made them a stronger and tighter group.
Aerosmith has had many titles: “The Arena Rock Gods of the 70′s”, “The Bad Boys From Boston”, “Rock N’ Roll’s Dysfunctional Family”. But there is no mistaking they are an American rock institution.
Three of MCA Music’s more celebrated international acts Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 can look forward to a lucky 2013 since the closing year gave them career highlights that may very well serve as defining moments of their colorful journey as global stars.
A short historical background first before I review the album “Lotus”. Even at her peak, Christina Aquilera was never quite as famous as her contemporaries even when she was part of the “bubble-gum pop explosion” of the late 90′s to early 2000′s.

Taylor Swift’s failed relationships and her longing for someone right has pushed her to reveal more intimate, heart-wrenching and detailed lyrics that loosely follow the last two years of her life. It is in this most personal state that she has found the way to elevate her song-writing skills and to explore other sides of [...]
Before I start my Album Review of “Don’t Panic” by All Time Low, I just want to give a brief history of the band. All Time Low was part of the wave of pop-punk bands that came to prominence and mainstream attention during the mid-2000’s although they were signed to an indie label just like a lot of [...]
From out of the wreckage of the American Civil War, the great state of Nevada came into being on October 31st, 1864. Its creation immediately helped to secure the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment and, ultimately, the future of the union. Today, that proud but painful history is enshrined in the two words emblazoned on the upper left-hand corner of the state flag: “Battle Born.”
The album immediately sets the tone to having fun–and with nothing over-the-top to begin with–it has its moments of promise. There are a good number of rock-anthem songs and the typical love/hate references that are standard these days in each album release.
Style is good when it impresses, great when it inspires, moving when it weaves deftly into other styles for a perfect fit.
