The Fray - The Fray
95%

The Fray are back with a new disc to kick some ass! Okay so, as opposed I am to CDs with 10 tracks only, it seems those are the best of them all (ex, The Killers - Day & Age). This is just another example of that fact. The Fray's self-titled sophomore album is only 10 songs long, but each packs something worth listening to, meaning it's extremely difficult to go through the whole CD by skipping songs because they're not just singing about the same old thing over and over again. The fact that every song is equally great makes it difficult to rate from 1 - 10, meaning favourites are all across the board here. Each song is almost perfect. Syndicate starts the disc with a melodic intro to The Fray's original style. Raw piano and gutair riffs in the background. Feels good to be home. Then Absolute turns the tables and goes darker into the emotional universe. The song is about uncertainty yet certainty, more or less a musical thesis and antithesis about love. Definately a stand-out track. Then the head single You Found Me comes next. It's a more-or-less open letter to "the man upstairs" which is an emotionally striking, yet catchy song. This mixture plays well with the piano/gutair motion. Say When kicks off next and so far takes the spotlight. The song is powerful from every direction and takes over your ears like some mix of hard rock and soft pop taunting you. The album then slows down to Never Say Never, which is an amazing song, but poses the first problem for this CD, there is so much repetition, that it feels like a time filler was just needed to boost the CD. Then Where The Story Ends picks up and lifts up every part that got you down previously. Followed by the ballad Enough For Now which can bring tears to the eyes of many if correctly listening. The next soft ballad comes in where Joe takes the mic from Isaac and sings about his leaving girlfriend. The song is great, yet repetitive near the end. Beautiful all the same. We Build Then We Break comes after, and totally shifts from normal Fray songs. Its heavy drums and gutair make it more intense than the band has ever been. Again, repetition becomes the common factor, but here it isn't as vivid because it is so blasphemous. The album closes with, without a doubt, the best Fray song of all time, known as Happiness. And its simplicity gently rises in your mind. It is a philosophical ballad, but its worth every milisecond of the 5 and a half minute period. It closes the album with a choir singing off in the distance and Isaacs vocal chords resting for the finale of a lifetime. There is no way any last song on a CD will ever beat this close.
In the end, repetition is such a small scar when the disc itself is so magnificent. Is it even fair to create an order for their greatness?

The Fray - How To Save A Life (2004)
75%

Perhaps one of the most heartwarming CDs i've ever listened to is "How To Save A Life" by the artist of the month; The Fray. This is probably heavily to blame for the delivery of the sweetest lyrics ever written. The lead, Isaac Slade, powerfully emotisizes the vocals featured in the songs. When low, he makes you feel so. This is definately The Fray's strongest element. Not saying that the collaboration of gutair and piano is weak at all, in fact it also stands out with an alluring glow.
The CD kicks off with the upbeat songs "She Is" and "Over My Head" who are each covering love, which is perhaps what the CD mostly situates itself on. Then the album moves slower after these two, and stays this way for the main portion. It is this intense balladry and emotional myriad where the Fray world is truly brought to life. Songs like Vienna, Trust Me and Fall Away incorporate the best lyrics into the best instrumental fixtures.
The only big issue with this CD is that some songs are forgettable because they easily blend in with the others that sound similar. However, those that stand tall break through with immense effort. Perhaps for the next disc (out Feb 3rd, and leaking this month) let's hope these boys can incorporate more creativity into their instrumentals as they do in their lyrics.

Track Listing:
1. She Is
2. Over My Head (Cable Car)

5. Fall Away*

Franz Ferdinand - Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
3/5

Its pathetic how slow Januaray has been for the music world. Nothing half interesting has hit the shelves in a while but it seems like the spring will pick things up while Kelly, The Fray, U2 and The Black Eyed Peas all release some new work!
But for the time-being, Franz Ferdinand's newest disc is under the spotlight. With the first single Ulysses mildly stepping up the charts, it didn't seem like their impact would be as big as it would've been say when they released "Take Me Out" and "Do You Wanna" in 2003 & 2005. And though they lack on the charts for the time being, it seems as though the band was focussing on making every single song worth it instead of just the singles. Almost every single song on the record projects with high jazzy feelings and loopy lyrics along with some sentimentments secretly hidden between the lines. There are also some clear stand-outs among others, such as "No You Girls Never Know", "Bite Hard" and "Lucid Dreams" whose noise can barely be reduced to such a vague generalization such as music. Fear not, the CD contains nothing really worth bashing, but then again, there is still some issue this band has with breaking out of its shell. Its now been three CDs, change it up a bit, even if it is for just a couple songs. Is it really that difficult to change? Despite this, in the end, the CD is worth listening to and its catchy stuff so it'll be in your head for a while. You decide if that can or can't hurt.

Tracklisting:
1. Ulysses
2. Turn It On
3. No You Girls Never Know *
4. Send Him Away
5. Twilight Omens
6. Bite Hard *
7. What She Came For *
8. Live Alone
9. Can't Stop Feeling

Best of 2008

2008-12-22T13:47:00.006-05:00

Plain and simply, here are my top 5 lists of the best CDs, Songs and Movies for the year of 08!

Best Song:

5. So What - P!nk ~ clearly one of the most popular songs to attack radio waves in a while. P!nk's fresh "dont give a damn" attitude makes you respect every single word.

4. Lost! - Coldplay ~ though it hasn't exactly exploded on radio yet, Lost! is one of the greatest coldplay songs ever and deserves some recognition.

3. You Found Me - The Fray ~ at first it may seem like a normal Fray track, but once it gets in your head and you listen to the lyrics, you will be moved.

2. American Boy - Estelle ft. Kanye West ~ As brutal as his arrogance is, once teamed up with Estelle, Kanye West and her made one of the catchiest songs of 2008.

1. Broken Strings - James Morrison ft. Nelly Furtado ~ Now i bet most of you haven't even heard this one, but it is a beautfiul upbeat ballad about breaking hearts and dealing with it. Definately worth checking out.

Honorable Mentions: Crack the Shutters - Snow Patrol, I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Best CD:

5. A Hundred Million Suns - Snow Patrol ~ Now, if you read my review you'd know i didn't have a fond mind about this disc at all, but it grew on me and i opened my eyes to the masterpiece Snow Patrol had created.

4. Bittersweet World - Ashlee Simpson ~ The only artist who truly broke out of her shell this year was Ashlee Simpson, and while the singles bombed, we all know that the CD was bomb!

3. P!nk - Funhouse ~ P!nk's crazy style and nutty antics makes everyone swoon. This CD shows a totally different side, mainly hitting the lows, this CD is moving beyond belief.

2. Viva La Vida/Prospekt's March - Coldplay ~ Coldplay released this CD and proved that they were the Mozart of our time. Bravo!

1. Day & Age - The Killers ~ Definately the best CD of the year, if not the decade. The Killers unique style and creative influence on the music world made Day & Age worth every single penny.

Honorable Mentions: Songs For You, Truths For Me - James Morrison, Pretty.Odd - Panic At The Disco

Best Movie:

5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ~ A great adventure that brings forth the new era of Jones. And i couldn't be happier with this result.

4. Wall-E~ The best animated feature of the year and one of the greatest pixar movies ever, AMAZING! WATCH IT!

3. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian ~ Effects that were out of this world along with one of the greatest climaxes seen in the movie industry.

2. The Dark Knight ~ Intense! Insane! Out of this world. It was a shame to lose Heath Ledger especially after this performance.

1. Milk ~ The hardly understood story of politician Harvey Milk was retold with Sean Penn is his role of a lifetime. It was executed with perfection.

Honorable Mentions: Twilight, Baby Mama, Get Smart, Iron Man, Burn After Reading, Bolt

Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Prospekt's March Edition)

5/5

Back in June, Coldplay released one of their best CDs yet, known as Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Tommorow, an 8-track EP will hit the shelves along with the CD's special edition containing the first original disc plus a second disc with the 8 new tracks. As if VLVODAAHF wasn't good enough, these eight tracks add a beautiful contrast to what we've already seen. It is definately works of art, and makes other CDs look like shit. The one perfect word would be Masterpiece. The original CD was great with its double tracks and mixture of cool violins and dark pianos, like on songs "Yes", "42" and my all-time favourite, "Lost!". Even better, "Lost" is redone here featuring Jay-Z, adding one of the greatest effects you can do to an upbeat instrumental ballad. The rest of the extra eight tracks are all well sung and played, its as if it took them years to prepare something that came so easily. "Life In Technicolor II" adds lyrics to the beautiful piece from the original disc. Every track on both of these from start to finish are amazing. Also, my new favourite Coldplay song "Glass of Water" has branched from this. Thank God Coldplay's still around to remind us that music is still alive in some of us. BUY IT NOVEMBER 21st!

The Evolution Brings A Joy Ride

2008-11-19T10:20:00.003-05:00

The Killers - Day & Age

5/5

Its been only two years since Sam's Town dropped, and one year ago Sawdust- the compilation dropped and promised a great future by the outstanding effect of bonus tracks. Now, we have Day & Age, the most promising piece of Killers work ever. The CD explores about 10 different areas and styles of music and packs a huge punch with lyrics, vocals and even funky instrumental tunes that can be classified as the most musically inventive CD in a while. Songs like "Joy Ride" and "Neon Tiger" get you going and clearly have a smashing effect on the listener. The CD may be uneffective to some of you, due to its complete off course trail from the Killers original music, but theres no point in them making CDs if theyre all gna sound exactly the same. The Killers are the most fun and inventive band of our age, and this CD is just proof. There is nothing else to be said besides BRAVO! and BUY IT ON NOVEMBER 25TH!

2. Human (9)*

Cooking Up A Boil

2008-11-13T15:24:00.004-05:00

David Cook - David Cook

3/5

It's about time David Cook's debut big label CD hit. After winning idol back in May, it seems a little late for it to be hitting shelves on November 18th, so i'm grateful we got it 5 days in advance! The CD is quite upbeat and starts off with a pretty heavy pace. It does slow down a few times, where it is most crucial. For this reason, the track setup is really effective, which can be a huge, crucial portion of the CD if you decide to play in order.
"Declaration" picks up the CD with a fast pace, proclaiming a good radio anthem soon to come. Followed by "Heroes" which is a bit forgettable due to its mediocre sound and dismal effect on the ears, though the lyrics are worthy. The third track is the one we all know "Light On" which succeeds in its pure isolation of Cook's powerful voice range. Then we get the suprisingly relatable (at least to me) "Come Back To Me" whose lyrics are really my current life story, but enough about that, the song also has a good beat and uses a good string of gutair rings by the finish. The 5th track "Life On The Moon" expresses the feelings of loneliness and again allows Cook to shout out his energy in pure musical beauty. This song and "Light On" are too similar to be different. The Injected cover "Bar-ba-sol" comes sixth, and gives the best instrumental dynamics over the whole CD, following Cook's original American Idol cover style. The song sticks out from the rest of the CD due to the playing of the instruments and the suit they fit in Cook's voice. The only shameful fact is that the best song instrumentally was written by someone else. Now, the most powerful vocal range is showcased through the majesty of "Mr. Sensitive", which is truly a great track that is worth a few listens before moving on. Cook sounds outstanding as he belts out the awesome lyrics. The first ballad comes now, and "Lie" is another relatable song which expresses enjoying the last moments of a relationship, and pretending like nothing's wrong. The worst song on the CD rolls on and "I Did It For You" does absolutely nothing for this disc, being forgettable and boring. But the worst track is brought on by the best one. "Avalanche" is clearly the one that will make butterflies soar in your stomach. It is definately going to be Cook's unforgettable track. Then comes "Permanent" which is a stripped and raw ballad about Cook's eldest brother who faces cancer. The song is heartbreaking, yet inspiring. Then it closes with "A Daily Anthem" which is exactly an anthem, but doesn't leave the lasting impression a final song should.
So in the end, it looks as though Cook's amazing talents were held back by the label somewhat. You can tell his freedom here was robbed with some songs, but he breaks free as best as he can. His talent is rising here, and we can guarantee that his next CD will blow everyone away, once he detaches from this label. The training wheels were on here, but they will come off, and that reason gives us hope. For now, we have to listen to this one a few times before we make final judgments.

1. Declaration
2. Heroes

Worth More Than A Nickel

2008-11-10T22:47:00.003-05:00

Nickelback - Dark Horse
4/5

Okay so we all know the usual story. They always sound the same blah blah blah. I have to agree on a small factor there, i mean, this band's style really hasn't changed in the past 10 years and that is just making most of their stuff sound similar and all, but you have to appreciate the fact that these guys can write songs about the same thing over and over again and still get so much money and publicity. It's mind boggling! They boys have released "Dark Horse" (well, they will on Nov 18th) now, and we do see a lot of similarities between the older stuff, but there seems to be a growth, both instrumentally and lyrically. The production value is definately the most outstanding aspect of the CD. This is highlighted through "Burn It To The Ground", "Something In Your Mouth" and "S.E.X" which all rely on heavy beats to fuel their half-ass lyrics. The only downside to this production overload would be "Next Go Round" which promises a catchy chorus, but lacks any power during the verses, at which Krouger's voice is muffled by some stereo effect that is lame and cheap.
However, if we move to songs like "I'd Come For You", "Gotta Be Somebody", "Never Gonna Be Alone" and "If Today Was Your Last Day" the lyrics pick up and there is much more vocal focus. Both these aspects balance the CDs dark and light variables.
And perhaps the best joy of the CD is the last song, "This Afternoon", which some might call country garbage, but is definately my favourite Nickelback song in a while. The song is an acoustic chill out song about friends and hanging out. It don't get more relaxed than that, folks.
Look, with Nickelback, you either hate em or love em, and this CD sure as hell ain't going to change your mind whether you hate them or not, it's another solid effort and lives up to my expectations. BUY YOUR COPY NOVEMBER 18TH!

A Hundred Million Suns Don't Shine As Bright As You'd Think

2008-10-22T20:32:00.006-04:00

Snow Patrol - A Hundred Million Suns
3.5/5

When i recieved "Eyes Open" at Christmas in 2006, i became an immeadiate fan of snow patrol. The CD was fresh, innovative, creative, pulsingly beautiful and amazing. It went down as one of my favourite CDs of 06. So when i heard A Hundred Million Suns was going to hit this month, i was ecstatic. My excitement was a bit over the top, because what we have here is still beautiful, innovative and creative, but lacks any difference from much of Snow Patrol's older music, which should be a good thing. But it feels like i've heard it all before. With that being said, there are still some great moments on the CD worth mentioning. The first four songs are definately among the best on the disc. Crack The Shutters is especially on the top of the list, with its fresh lyrics about seeing the beauty inside of someone. The first single "Take Back The City" was obviously a good choice because it is the fastest on the CD.
The CD does end up being really good on the fourth rotation, but if it takes that long, most people will have put it down by then. Especially on the extremely long "Lightning Strike" which is all of 16 minutes and split into three parts which are all different sounding, so i dont see why they chose to make it one song. However, the first part is really good. Most of the music here is mellow, but the lyrics are definately the outstanding variable in the glory of this album. They are what shine like a hundred million suns and stars (as The Planets Bend Between Us, the greatest song on this cd, states). Especially in the stand out track, Disaster Button, which is definately the most addicting here.
In the end, if your going to purchase the CD, be commited to it for 3 spins and then you'll like it. My impression may have been drowned out by the fact that Funhouse is still rotating in my mind.

P!nk - Funhouse
4.5/5

P!nk is back with a vengeance! After 2 and a half years of work, Funhouse has finally hit the shelves (or at least been leaked off by a UK stor online)! P!nk recently broke up with her husband who she'd only been married for for 2 years, and you can tell that is where most influence for this came from. Every song here is a constant reminder of love going or gone wrong (except the war fighter, Ave Mary A, which is definately one of the best here). The CD is one of the most lyrically powerful i've ever heard and it clearly is better than most of her other work. She has truly evolved slowly, CD by CD. And though "Try This" would probably be my favourite CD of hers, at least i like every single song on this CD. "Try This" has a little fault with some songs but made up for it with other outstanding stuff. "Funhouse" pretty much defines the word outstanding for the most part. Songs "I Don't Believe You" and "Sober" have no become part of my favourite p!nk songs of all time, and the others are almost just as good. "I Don't Believe You", clearly being the best track overall, has her best lyrics to date and it involves so much relatability to me currently, which is why it is my favourite. Of course, with these power ballads we get some upbeat-i-dont-give-a-flying-shit music with "So What", "Bad Influence" and "Funhouse" which are all original yet similar to P!nk's older music. The next two singles "Sober" and "Please Don't Leave Me" couldn't have been better choices. Let Sober grow on you and i'm sure you'll never stop listening to it. Please Don't Leave Me is just the same, and, now that i hear them in perfect quality, the music on both is fresh and amazing.
This CD can probably boast the least faults of all her others. Only Mean and One Foot Wrong are forgettable, but they will eventualy be in your head after 3 listens.
Overall, Funhouse isn't the most amazingly outstanding CD ever released, but its probably one of the best of the year, and it is one of my favourites in a while and is hardly close to faulting anywhere.

Back in 2003, P!nk released "Try This" and the CD's reception wasn't well taken. Well screw those guys! If you know anything about a great CD, this is definately your kind of music. From ballads to upbeat anthems, "Try This" is definately one of the best CDs of the DECADE! The songs are all worth listening to, and certain ones like Tryy Too Hard and Humble Neighbourhoods stick out like sore thumbs because you probably wil play those about 400 times. Her best singles also originated from this disc, so def check it out! Undoubtedly P!nk's best CD, Try This has been around for five years now, but it's here for download now!

P!nk- I'm Not Dead
4/5
P!nk came back as a hurricane in 2006 with her two best singles (until So What) "Stupid Girls" and "Who Knew", which slaughtered the charts. Both branched from this epic album, whose songs are all memorable. Truly stand-out songs are "I'm Not Dead" and "Nobody Knows", even "Long Way To Happy" and "Cuz I Can" will have u bobbing your head up and down. P!nk came back, and though she couldn't live up to the sound of Try This, this CD is still kick ass!

Hard Candy takes too much crunching

2008-04-21T18:52:00.003-04:00

Madonna - Hard Candy
3/5

Well, well. Madonna is back for her 11th CD. Damn! This girl's accomplished. She's really changed musically over the past-God can't count with enough fingers of-years. Madonna has always had that pop feel. Over the past 5 r 6 years, though, she has adapted a more vibe/pop sound which was catchy but a little scary when she started wearing a yoga suit in all of her videos.
"Hard Candy" is a pretty upbeat CD, just like "Confessions on a Dancefloor", but with a real R&B influence that's believable and enough to make a DJs pickings much easier at the proms this year. The cover of this CD is anything but attractive, and might have to be refrained from looking at by all purchasers (hopefully they put one of those large stickers over her). But, I'm not here to talk about fifty-year-olds posing in lingere and a westling belt; I'm here for the musica!
The loss here is that most of the tracks are forgettable, and that's pretty much Madonna's trade mark. However, each track is worth a dance. That's the real great thing about this CD. Of course, the single "4 Minutes" is the only amazing track on the CD, and that's because whatever Timbaland touches turns to gold. The other good song to look for is "Beat Goes On", which is a flashdance song, but features Kanye West rapping near the end, which adds a cool vibe. Other songs like "Incredible", "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" and "Spanish Lesson" are really diverse and add the spunk to the hard candy.
Overall, not bad, but not enough.

BEST SONGS: Devil Wouldn't Recognize You, 4 Minutes, Spanish Lesson, Voices, Incredible

Ashlee's Bitterness Becomes Sweet!

2008-04-19T11:13:00.004-04:00

Ashlee Simpson - Bittersweet World
4/5

Ashlee Simpson was always the little pop princess who followed in the footsteps of her younger sister. Ashlee has always had better music, perhaps because Jessica has no creativity when it comes to making new music. Ashlee's first CD "Autobiography" was a little dull, and full of forgettable bubble-gum pop. When "I Am Me" hit shelves two years later, she prooved that she was a creative and innovative artist. "I Am Me" had some good songs, but Ashlee's singles didn't really fly too high, except for "Boyfriend", which became the most danced-to song of that year.
When Ashlee released "Outta My Head" as her new single, there was lots of controversy. "She copied Gwen Stefani's style" was the most common form of criticism. The song really grew on many people, but some dismissed it, and it became a weak chart-topper, pushing the release of "Bittersweet World", her third LP to a further date. Ashlee went ahead and release "Little Miss Obsessive" which will possbly become the catchiest song this year. Not to mention it takes the voice of Plain White T's lead singer, Tom Higgenson. The single is still climbing up the charts.
On Tuesday, "Bittersweet World" was leaked onto the internet in a wide frenzy, and got many free downloads (whether thats god or not, i have no clue). The CD embarks on a whole new road, Ashlee has pushed herself to make a fun and catchy-as-hell CD which will probably climb up the charts whenits released on April 22nd. The CD has hardly any weak points and is full of fun, dancy and catchy songs. Not to mention, Ashlee's lyrical taste has improved on tracks like "Bittersweet World", "What I've Become", "Never Dream Alone" and the bonus track "Invisible". There is so much content worth listening to in this 11 track disc that you will play it over and over and always bop your head and get up and dance.
Songs like "Hot Stuff", "Murder", "Rule Breaker" and "Outta My Head" show a new side to Ashlee's music. The upbeat and ridiculous musical style is what makes these songs shine and stand out. She has clearly stepped over the line and become an abstract artist of most sorts. Though these songs don't do anything lyrically (maybe "Murder") they will be the ones that catch your ears the first time you listen to the CD.
Some songs stick to Ashlee's old news, which does dumb the album a little (like "Boys"), but the songs aren't like the first CD, so you will still have their catchy beats in your head, but you won't like them as much as the other songs.
If your an old Ashlee fan, maybe you should step away, because theres not much on here for you, but if you're willing to respect her approach on this new sound, than pick up a copy on APRILL 22ND!

VERDICT: Ashlee's broken her old rules and moved into a new shell, right where she belongs.

BEST SONGS (in order):
1. What I've Become
2. Never Dream Alone
3. Bittersweet World
4. Murder
5. Hot Stuff
6. Little Miss Obsessive
7. No Time For Tears
8. Rule Breaker
9. Ragdoll
10. Boys
11. Outta My Head (Let's face it, it got old)

Weekly CHECK IT!

2008-01-03T17:51:00.001-05:00

Welcome to the Weekly CHECK IT! A new feature that will appear...well...weekly. Basically, i will ask you guys to check the following song, and review it yourselves in the responses at the bottom of this post. This week's Weekly CHECK IT! is...

"Outta My Head (A Ya Ya Ya)" by: Ashlee Simpson.

Okay, so your probably saying WHAT THE F!@# because your probably guaranteed to have heard this song already. The first time i heard this song, i was extremely confused for many reasons. First of all it's Ashlee Simpson singing an electropop dance song. It gets weirder, when you watch the video below :|.
I beg of you not to listen to the song just once. I guarantee you, the second or third time you listen to the song you will be HOOKED! It's a great dance song, but is it really Ashlee Simpson? Confusing Much?
My Review:
3.5/5

A Melodic Dream World of Fantasy

2007-12-04T19:37:00.000-05:00

4.5/ 5
Blake Lewis-A.D.D. (Audio Day Dream)

American Idol was really looking down at the start of 2006, especially when Chris Daughtry's elimination infuriated over 100,000 fans and had them all boycotting the show. The show went on, however, as it should have, because we wouldn't have had talent in the next year. Which was creatively found within Mr. Blake Lewis. His beatboxing and smooth pop voice was a breath of fresh air within the stalement that Taylor Hicks left behind. Blake's self-esteem and great creativity allowed all the "youngins" to vote for him; but only to get him to 2nd place when he threw the competition in the end, trying to allow Jordin to win so that he would get a better record deal-which he did! "Audio Day Dream" is definately one of the coolest CDs to listen to, and is truly a competitor when it comes to BEST CD OF 2007. The music is fresh. The music sounds so much like a bunch of my favourite artists combined. The CD kicks off with a random intro which is kind of unnecessary, but flows into the single which we mostly know (playing on the Reviewin the World MyPod). Then we get a fresh and sassy beat from "Gots to Get Her", which is a truly stand-out track that the CD produces and invigorates the body with fresh dance tunes. "Know My Name" is next, which features newcomer Lupe Fiasco, who gives it a nice "will.i.am" touch. The song is still quite great though. "How Many Words" comes next, which is also good to listen to, and yet again, freshens up the CD. Followed by "Surrender" and "Hate 2 Love Her" which both sound sort of similar, but still pack a big punch on the CD, "Surrender" being one of my favourite songs. Than comes "Without U", which has a nice tone, but takes some getting used to. After that quiet tune, we jump into "Here's My Hello" and "What'cha Got 2 Lose" which are both 2 of my favourite tracks on the CD because of their upbeat and vibrant tones. Than comes a beatboxer track known as "She's Makin Me Lose It", which is poppy but as one of the most amounts of beatboxing on the disc, making it the best dance song. "BShorty Grabs Mic!" is next, and is the first track to fail in my eyes. The song is all beatbox, but sounds kind of retarded. I'm pretty sure that it is freestyle. The next 2 songs "End of the World" and "1000 Miles" are really good tracks, but thy don't stick into your head. Than finally "I Got U" is a catchy tune which sounds very radio friendly and catchy. Than there's a useless outro. But no one cares for those things.
Overall, this is a FANTASTIC CD- miuns the intro, outro and B SHORTY GRABS MIC! crap.

BEST SONGS: Gots to Get Her, Here's My Hello, Surrender, What'cha Got to Lose, She's Makin Me Lose It

PURE CINEMA GOLD!

2007-12-01T21:19:00.000-05:00

5/5
The Golden Compass

In a holiday season where Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter no longer remain supreme-a new legend is born unto this world. THE GOLDEN COMPASS!!! This movie was fantastic and amazingly well done. The visual effects were completely stunning and captivating. The storyline was fantasticly reproduced and duplicated from that of the original novel down to the last detail. This movie was a magnifivent movie for the holidays and will, no doubt, be nominated for one of the BEST MOVIES OF 2007. Being a fan of the books, I've been keen on seeing this, but all the athiest controversey got me worried that the movie would have to water-down the against-government view of the novel, and would make the movie a sketchy, boring movie like the failing Eragon of last holdiay season. The Golden Compass is truly among the ranks of the high fantasy movies, and is definately one to remember !

HIGHLIGHTS: The Golden Compass has seriously become one of my favourite movies. It was visually stunning. It had an amazing plot. It stayed true to the novel. And most of all, it kept me WANTING MORE. Can't wait for the sequel in 2009!
DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR, AND ALREADY LISTED AS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IN DECEMBER!

LOWLIGHTS: *coff* goes the daemon.

The Poll !!!

2007-12-01T10:50:00.000-05:00

I just put it a new sidebar app, known as The Poll !!! This week's poll is asking for who you think should win BEST CD OF... 2007! If i get tons of votes, i may take it into consideration for who should win! But their are more nominees. Sadly the app only lets me put 4 up, changing the whole outcome. But for now, VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

Futurama Scores Big!

2007-12-01T10:08:00.000-05:00

4/5
Futurama: Bender's Big Score

On November 27th, Futurama followed the Family Guy suit and released a straight-to-DVD movie, entitled; Bender's Big Score. The movie is well done, considering we haven't seen the likes of a new Futurama episode in two years, which is cleverly stated at the beggining (in the same way as The Simpsons Movie). Than we get a mix of the original opening and BAM! the show starts with everyone partying, and than something AWFUL happens. But I can't tell you that, you'll have to rent it or buy it yourself. The movie is actually quite good, being exactly as funny as Futurama was when it used to originally air. It stayed true to its original form, with lots of snickers and a few LOL laughs. A lot of characters that had one or a few appearences on the show came back for a cameo, including the Santa Claus, and the mofia-bots. But the difference i found between this movie and The Simpsons Movie and Fanmily Guy's movie is that this one didn't seem like an elongated episode. The Futurama movie had many twits and turns and even had mysteries involved within the plot itself.
HIGHLIGHTS: The movie was very good for a straight-to-DVD movie. It would have done well in the theaters, but maybe it was better this way b/c there wasn't such a high expectation for an AMAZING movie. The movie was overall, funny and witty, which is all a need to have fun on a Friday night. Not to mention the mystery at the end which was mind-blowing!

LOWLIGHTS: The movie had very few, but i felt that there were some really random parts and some random songs added to the movie. The ending could have also ended, but it kept rolling on, which kind of pissed me off, but in the end, it all makes perfect sense.

Overall, the movie was extremely funny and very good. I think it deserves BEST MOVIE IN NOVEMBER !!

December Outlook

2007-12-01T10:05:00.000-05:00

December looks like an extremely slow month for music, but an extremely amazing month for movies! Including: The Golden Compass, National Treasure 2, I Am Legend, etc. But besides that, there isn't too much excitement for December here. Nevertheless, there will still be revies on everything i listen to or see, and there will be pushback reviews from November, like "Futurma: Bender's Big Score". So enjoy the month!

Idol Winner Finally Delivers-With Minor Faults

2007-11-30T18:12:00.000-05:00

4/5
Brian Melo-Livin' It

This season's winner of Canadian Idol (much to my happiness) has finally released his debut CD-"Livin' It" on November 27th. Suprisingly, this is only 1 week after the Americam Idol's CD, which has been worked on since June, while Brian only had started working on it in September. In two months, he's made a fairly engagind CD, especially for a Canadaian Idol, but is it as good as Eva Avila's debut last year? The first song "Shine" starts off slow, but grows into a more rockish tone, and is actually a very good song for a Canadian Idol. The second song "Back To Me" also does the same thing as the previous song. It grows into a rock song, but starts as a slow, pop beat, and it's better than the first song-this is good news. So far, Brian's voice sounds just like it did on Idol, which is really a great thing. If you live in Canada, you'll know the third song. It's called "All I Ever Wanted" and it is the first single, which is an okay song, it could be a little more catchy. The fourth song "Summertime" follows the same exact pattern as all the songs here, a slow beggining and strong chorus. At this point, i wonder where all the creativity has gone. Where are the ballads? My prayers are than answered with one of my favourite songs by a canadian idol; "I Gave You All My Life", which will make a good single, if he chooses it. The song climaxes in the end, but not in a rockish way, in more of a beautiful way, kind of like Kelly's "Sober". The next song is slower, taking the pace down a notch, but is still pleasant to listen to. Than a faster song kicks in, and takes over the CD. The song Livin' It, is definately going to be the next single, in my eyes. Livin It marks a speed up for the next song, Stay, which actually uses electric guitar and bass gutair in the way they were invented for! Stay is most likely the best rock song among these. The next two songs are okay, and than the second single (confirmed) "She Moves Me" kind of sets the state of Canadian idol-ness, and the CD begins to turn into a cliche. Finally, the last ballad ain't too bad, but is Idol-ish.
Overall, the CD is well-done and is worth buying, but take precautions for some cliche music (for Idols).

BEST SONGS: Shine, Stay, I Gave You All My Life, Summertime, Obvious

"Rocking" Out Loud

2007-11-29T17:10:00.000-05:00

4.5/5
OneRepublic
Dreaming Out Loud

OneRepublic had their turn as a puppet on "Timbaland presents: Shock Value", but now, their debut CD is here, and it beats out Timbaland's latest CD. The CD is packed with an amazing track of songs ranging from upbeat tempos like "Tyrant" and slow, impacting ballads such as "Come Home". The CD's main strong point is a mix of these two genres, which is perhaps why it is so ingenious. Personally, i enjoy the CDs vibe because of how amazing Ryan Tedder's (lead) vocals are. Not to mention that the original version of "Apologize" is much more enjoyable than Timbaland's modern mix. The CD has no flaws, except for maybe that it could go a little faster, and get more upbeat at the down points. However, the CD is still highlighted with plenty of radio-friendly songs and emotion-stirking music. Don't be surprosed if you see OneRepublic making plenty of music.
The one thing i noticed with this CD is that it sounds similar to The Fray, making it seem less original. Songs like "Won't Stop" are prime examples of the Fray's style. But sometimes that could be a good thing.

BEST SONGS: Come Home, All We Are, Won't Stop, Tyrant, All Fall Down

What I've Missed

2007-11-29T17:02:00.000-05:00

I missed lots of things these past few months, so i will briefly summarize what I have thought of music/movie releases from AUG-OCT

August was an awful month for EVERYTHING, and there was nothing worth recognizing in that month, except for a few movies.

September was a better month, with KT Tunstall's "Drastic Fantastic" hitting shelves. Music was slow, but movies picked up their pace with the hilarious, but very dirty, "Good Luck Chuck" and "Superbad" being the most memorable.

October had a bigger set going, as The Killers' "Sawdust" was leaked onto the net, and it really was a good compilation. Movies were again at their prime with horror flicks like "Saw IV" and "30 Days of Night" being 2 of my favourite movies.

Overall, I didn't really miss much, but the holiday season is a perfect place to restart!

I'M BACK!!!

2007-11-29T16:18:00.000-05:00

Well, i'm back! I decided to re-open the blog with a harder mind towards things, meaning CDs and Movies won't be getting as many high marks as they used to :P. So now the idea is to do exactly what i did before, but in a better way :). I've also decided to go forward with CROWNING CDS AND DVDS as the best of the year in late December. For now, the November/December artist is none-other than Blake Lewis, and a review for his new CD should be in ANY DAY now. I'm really excited about opening up again and I can't wait to be successful again! :D

Goin out on a happy note, this is the last post.

KT Tunstall-Drastic Fantastic

10/5

With the smash hit "Eye of the Telescope" being quite popular everywhere, KT has a huge fan base. And while i thought the first CD was very artistic but only had one colour, i tended to enjoy her singles. When Hold On came out, i was quite excited of its upbeat sound. The song is a different risk, which made it sink on charts, causing KT to be in the dark in the US and Canada. The fact that KT is simply not an extremely popular artist is a terrible occurence. Drastic Fantastic is anything but DRASTIC. It is by far the best CD i have ever heard. I say that a lot, but after a while...the CD ends on the shelf. Picture Eye to the Telescope as a beautiful painting, made up of one colour. The one you put up on the wall, but hardly look at. Picture Drastic Fantastic as a painting with rainbows of colours that you can't keep your eyes off until you're viciously pried away. But this painting is more beautiful than words can describe. Songs like "Hopeless", "If Only", "Paper Aeroplane", "Beauty of Uncertainty and "Someday Soon" kick you with a package of indepth lyrics and beautiful or catchy beats. Other Songs like "Little Favors", "Hold On", "Funnyman"and "I don't want you now" add a faster beat and make you want to play them again. Every single lyric on this masterpiece sheds light to the oh-so-dim world of music. Kt Tunstall makes Rihanna look like a salesman at Sears, and makes Kelly look like the runner-up of American Idol. The fact that KT is not popular enough to pull number one with this is sad, considering all the little Disney puppets have hit number one. This CD shows how simple the world is, in such a complicated time. And since Drastic Fantastic is KT's comic book life, than this CD is a comic book of what the world is. And a fantasy is what we needed after a summer of meaningless music. And perhaps that's why this CD deserves #1 at the end of the year. The world would be one big masterpiece..if more artists and people could understand that this music is made by a TRUE artist. Although that day will never come, as KT implies, perhaps a fantasy would help...

Favorite Songs: (In order)

1 (tie): Hopeless/If Only
2: I Don't Want You Now
3: Paper Aeroplane
4: Little Favors
5: Funnyman
6: Beauty of Uncertainty
7: White Bird
8: Saving My Face
9: Someday Soon
10: Hold On

BUY THIS!!!
GOODBYE EVERYONE!

I'm Done...

2007-08-22T12:49:00.000-04:00

End of the Month Newsletter!

2007-07-31T23:21:00.000-04:00

July has come to a close, which is sort of bitter sweet, we had a lot of great movies this month and a few great musical moments. The Best movie is undecided again this month, with HP5 and The Simpsons Movie both holding outstanding performances. The best CD is clearly Yellowcard's "Paper Walls" which is really addictive and one of my favourite CD's this year. August is another slow CD month, I've decided to make KT Tunstal Artist of the Month, and change September's Artist to Will.i.Am who has a release later in September. KT Tunstall's review will probably be before her release this time around and might be named Best CD of August b/c of it's Sept 3rd release and probably Mid-August leak. But August has 2 releases that I'm looking forward to, so that should make it a little more exhilerating. There are some issues with the Best Movies I'm trying to fix but I can't figure out the problem, I will fix them ASAP. Anyway, their's a new template for this month and i hope i get more posts this month too.
L8r Days!
Robsdobs,

Paper Walls Act Like Concrete

2007-07-30T13:37:00.000-04:00

Yellowcard-Paper Walls

4.5/5

Well, as July comes to a close, this is the oonly CD review a have done. That's because all the other CDs this month weren't worth posting cuz they all sucked. All I can tell you is to pick this CD up. It is a great CD that has a very well-rounded tracklist. The lyrics are tremendous and the songs are quite easy to get hooked to. So instead of wasting my time ranting about nonsense you don't need to hear, This is the best CD of July.

Best Songs: Shadows & Regrets, Shrink the World, Five Becomes 4, Keeper, Paper Walls...Lots of Others

The Wait Is Over!

2007-07-30T13:22:00.000-04:00

The Simpsons Movie

5/5

After about 10 years of talk of a Simpsons Movie, it's finally here. It took a grueling LONG time to get to this point and for God's sake was it freaking agitating. But don't get your hopes up too much, or you'll get lost in a field of heavy anxiety and will be disappointed with the end product because your mind was so clouded. No, The Simpsons Movie is not the most amazing movie you will ever see. It is more or less a long episode. So it, in purpose, is the Best TV Show Episode you will ever see. The movie is "ROFLicious". It is a very funny comedy that is packed with all sorts of jokes that will yack the funny bones of all ages. The movie is a resemblence of why the TV Show is so successful. But think for a second, aren't you paying to see something that you could have seen on TV? Well, basically, but not really. Homer makes this point at the beggining of the movie, calling you a "sucker" for paying for something you can watch on TV. The only difference is that the plot is different and longer. But in the end, Homer is such a dumbass, who cares what he thinks.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The movie is consistently funny and is definately worth seeing in theatres. Not only that but it has such bold character that it makes everyone laugh. All the characters stick to their ture callings, Marge the worrisome, Bart the Daredevil, Lisa the Skeptic, Maggie the Moody and Homer the Dumbshit. I guarantee you will walk out of the movie theatre happy, and fro die-hard fans, you'll probably go back into line for the next showing.

LOWLIGHTS:

Don't expect too much, or else you will fall into a pit of stalement. Just expect a good time at the theatres.

In the end, The Simpsons Movie is a great addition to this summer's line-up. It is one of the Best Movie's of 07 and probably the Best Comedy in a long time. All I have to say is:

BEST EPISODE EVER!

The Grueling Plot...

2007-07-15T12:22:00.000-04:00

With only 12 days until release of The Simpsons Movie, we still have no official word of what the OFFICIAL plot is. According to Groening "I can't imagine people looking in the TV Guide to see what the plot is, you just tune in". Sadly, I usually look in the TV Guide to find out what episode it is t see if it's worth tuning in. Maybe that means the plot is too weak to reveal, meaning everyone may tune in and become disappointed. I really hope this is untrue, but it is just a simple suspicion at the moment and doesn't mean anything right now.

The following plot is discovered;

There is an environmental crisis into which Homer adds.

Notes from the Trailer (Guesses):
- The presdent is involved

- There is a plan to destroy Springfield

- Homer travels the World

- Bart befriends Ned Flanders after being embaressed by Homer; He looks at Ned as a new Father Figure

- Homer gets a pig

-The moral is; Always listen to your wife

- Mr. Burns is somehow involved

Final Plot Guess:

The town of springfield is increasingly growing in pollution rates, causing the city to be looked down on by the rest of the country. When the city tries to block all pollution from happening, it is all-but Homer Simpson who, over-time,, continuously ignores signs and begins to pollute Lake Springfield. This heavy over-pollution causes the president to do the uinimaginable, destroy Springfield in order to lower pollution rates. Miniscule pieces by miniscule pieces, with the help of Montgomery Burns. In a desperate attempt, Homer tries to escape the evil civilians that now want to destroy him to travel to the president of the United States. While Homer is on absence, Bart finds a new father-figure in Ned Flanders, who strongly believes that destroying Springfield is theright desicion to svae the World that god created. This drives Homer and Bart apart.

This is basically what I've pieced together, it seems like WAY too much in one movie, but we'll see on July 27th (or July 26th at 12).

The Rebellion Succeeds!

2007-07-14T18:44:00.000-04:00

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

5/5

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth in the series, and there are still 2 more to go. Quite discouraging when each movie is 2 and a half hours long and most of the books are at least above 500 pages. Not to mention the characters don't look like they belong in the proper age group. But why is there still that spark inside Harry Potter that keeps fans coming back? There is just that never-ending love that you have. But seriously, it's cause the movies are so god-damn entertaining. The Order of the Phoenix is automatically the best of the five, whether or not if it cut the book in half. It's great because it emotionally grips you in ways unimaginable.

HIGHLIGHTS

HP5 is always grabbing your attention. It is one of the greatest films of the year, with it's fast climax, its vast intensity, it's amazing casting and its towering presece over the previous four. The Half-Blood Prince will have a lot to live up to. The movie is more magical than any other Potter film and indefinitley produces that charisma that has always been there. As for Imelda Stauton (Prof. Umbridge), i bow to you.

LOWLIGHTS:

Like stated before, the characters seem older than they should be, but hey, I can't slow down time to make Emma Watson stay 15, even if her acting is on top all the time.

Final Review: Best Potter film so far, and most fun I've had at the movies this summer.

Hold On to this Beat KT!

2007-07-14T18:38:00.000-04:00

Hold On (Single)-KT Tunstall

4.5/5

Well, after much success with her debut CD "Eye to the Telescope" KT Tunstall, is bound to make another hit on the charts. Not just with her upcoming CD, Drastic Fantastic, but with this Single; Hold On. Most likely her best track to date and seriously packs a sweet punch of new catchiness to KT's style. The song is very upbeat and very easy to sing along to. It has such a great feel to it and will make you happy when it appears on the shuffle function on your iPod, which wasn't the case with KT's other music. This song will most likely shoot up the charts just like "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" or "Suddenly I See". She's got another BIG one on her hands, but can she "hold on" with the rest of her CD, od will she let go and flop out...I wait and see.

BEP HIATUS!!!

2007-07-14T18:31:00.000-04:00

According to a new rumor, the Black Eyed Peas are on a hiatus until 2010! There has been no official confirmation on this but it seems as if Fergie wants another CD and so do the others, so they each have solo projects in the wait. This news is quite odd considering a CD "From Roots to Fruits" to be released in October, but apparently we might have to wait. This may be a false rumor, but word of a BEP Hiatus has been around for a while, I trukly hope this is untrue, but hope and faith aren't exactly fact.

KT Tunstall-CD Cover (Drastic Fantastic)

2007-07-14T18:26:00.000-04:00

This is going to be the cover of KT Tunstall's new CD "Drastic Fantastic" in stores Sept. 18th. She will be taking the place of "Artsist of the month (AOTM)" in September. Posts have been slow lately due to my computer breaking down, but i'm surviving on this laptop i rarely use. Sop sorry for the long wait.

What do you think of the album cover?

Transform into Reality

2007-07-05T00:42:00.000-04:00

Transformers

5/5

Well, another great movie in the summer has come to earth, in this Sci-Fi adventure about mechanical robots in an ongoing war against each other in search of the ever-incredible "All-Spark". The movie is about robost from outer space, you would think it would be terribly cheesy and promotionally inventive. Well, it is promotionally inventive, the toys are already out there, and will most likely boom in sales once the kids hit the theatres. But, for the plot they had to work with, the movie was very well done. Whether it was the facts that made it seem believable, or the action that made it intense, or the humor that made it funny, it turned out to be a great movie all-in-all.

HIGHLIGHTS:

This movie was funny, intense, quick-witted and well done. Not only did the effects stand-out, but the robots were believable, a task that is very difficult to do. But when you think about it, what's more realistic, robots in war with each other, or magicians on broomsticks? Well, we'll be the judge of that next week with HP5. But for now, I can say, this is my favourite summer movie so far.

LOWLIGHTS:

1 and only 1 very small lowlight, the battle between megatron and optimus prime was very short, making me believe that they did not put that full effort.

Overall, transformers is a great movie, regardless of that one small lowlight.

Dying Hard was awesome, But living Free is Better!

2007-07-01T23:09:00.000-04:00

Live Free or Die Hard

5/5

Well, after a summer packed with sequels, its another one! But seriously, who cares if there a sequel or not, we all watch them anyway. While May was mostly about 3rds, which were pretty good, June was all over the place, with this being the 4th in its series. In my opinion 4 is better than 1, 2, or 3. In most situations. Especially in the Die Hard situation. Die Hard, the original, had always been my favoiurite seeing Alan Rickman as the bad guy, but today, that has all changed! Although Timothy Olyphant was not as purely evil as Alan Rickman, he sure was a good villian. Bruce Willis was at his top game, looking 35 at the age of 50. This movie made you believe it was just part of the series, making it worthy of the best of the 4.

HIGHLIGHTS:

With half of the movie being in an action sequence, you were at the edge of your seat the whole time and the intesity rumbling beneath your feet got you even more exhilerated. The movie was intensley powerful and had you glued the whole time. And with a plot so realistic, it scares youb to think it might happen in real life.

Live Free or Die Hard is one of the best movies this year. It was so good, i didn;t bother with LOWLIGHTS

RATA-TERRIFIIC!

2007-06-30T23:41:00.001-04:00

Rataouille

5/5

Animated movies have hit a new high this year as Ratatouille and Surf's Up have become 2 of the best rated films of the year. Ratatouille being the 6th best rated ever! It's no suprise that this movie is continuously getting amazing reviews, because that's basically what it is. Whether its the fact that you're falling in love with a tiny, ugly rat that most of us have probably trapped in our basements, or expressing iun interest in cooking, this movie is a truly curageous display of animals doing what you would never suspect.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Ratatouille is an inventive wonder of a movie, I can't believe how well done a kids movie could ever be. I am no longer discouraged by animated movies. It was a cute delight of tastes (shall i say)! It's a must see!

LOWLIGHTS:

Why do i bother...

Ratatouile is an fun and inventive comedy that is better for an adult viewer than a kid viewer. Love it!

End of the Month Newsletter...

2007-06-29T09:40:00.000-04:00

OKAY! June has been a great month, although the worthless sequels i just reviewed may not be amazing, the other things made up for it. Plus, I have a record-breaking 20 posts!!! I am proud, now i'm at 61 posts in total, hopefully 100 by the end of august. With that being said, Artist of July wil not be an artist, nor band, but characters. The Characters of the Month are...THE SIMPSONS FAMILY! in celebration of The Simpsons Movie, in theatres July 27th. The best CD of June has been split into 2 parts, Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad and Kelly Clarkson-My December. My December is better, but Rihanna is worth resembling. The Best Movie of June is yet to be determined, I still have to see "Ratatouille (hopefully today)" and Live Free or Die Hard. I can say with confidence that there are 2 movies that have it topped at this point: F4 Rise of the Silver Surfer and Surf's Up. Whether I have 2 winners is undecided. July looks like an amazing month and has great movies, but is slow on music. Hope this blog continues to greatness.

These 13 need to be Drowned!

2007-06-29T09:29:00.001-04:00

Ocean's 13

2/5

Another hell of a movie in June. This movie is possibly the worst movie ever with the best cast. This time around, the crew robs a casino, WAIT A MINUTE! They already did that in movie 1. But it HAS to be different this time because it's bout revenge *rolls eyes*. I have to admit, the plot was well thought out, but was not done out well. So you couldn't exactly understand everything unless you waited for the end, which i had to. Believe me when i saw everyone in that theatre was waiting for that god-awful movie to finish.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Like I said before, the movie had a great cast and the polot was good, just not presented well. At least there was a climax.

LOWLIGHTS:

I'm not sure who # 12 and 13 are in this movie or what happened to Julia Roberts in the previous one, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter, it would not have changed the boredom that takes over in this movie. By the way, me falling asleep in the theatre doesn't really tingle my tastes being woken up 2 minutes later by the bright screen.

In final, don;t even rent this movie on DVD, it was so bad, I can;t imagine who would buy it.

Nothing Almighty About This!

2007-06-29T09:24:00.000-04:00

Evan Almighty

1/5

One word:

CRAP!!!

HIGHLIGHTS:

Creative Sequel

Steve Carell is a good actor

Wanda Sykes saved this movie and gave it 1

LOWLIGHTS:

EVERYTHING.

NO JOKES

NO Intense Climax

NO favourable scenes

CRAP!!

My-My; December is Looking HOT!

2007-06-26T09:07:00.000-04:00

Kelly Clarkson-My December

5.5/5

Okayy, 5.5 is not exactly possible, but because this is my favourite album EVER, it has to be possible. So, with that being said, My December is the third of Kelly's releases. It is obviously the best, with Thankful getting a 2/5 and Breakaway getting a 4/5. Kelly has evolved from American Idol puppet, to creative, stand-alone music star. This CD is filled with amazing tunes that you either want to:
Rock-out to, slowly lighten up and sing, or just bop your head and listen.

The CD has an edgier side to it, attracting a more rock-based populous of fans. The first single is a bit of a sample of the new direction, "Never Again" has a rock-ish tone to it and brings powerful lyrics and vocals. But, if you really want a taste of Kelly's CD, you have to listen to "Sober", the next single, which does not attempt any rock whatsoever, but instead, has a light beat, POWERFUL vocals and lyrics. It is truly an amazing song, so stay tuned on the radio for it, or request it f you're dying to hear some softer Kelly before you buy the CD. No pop fan can resist it. The next singles are "How I Feel" and "One Minute" (not confirmed but 90%); How I feel is light/fast, so it represents that "bop your head" side of the CD. One Minute is like rockish techno, it's interesting but does not fit well with the CD, representing nothing, it is sort of an interesting way to drag in more fans. I really think the next 2 singles should be either: Judas, Maybe or Haunted; because those 3 songs are clearly the stand-outs among the CD. Judas and Haunted are rock-ish, and Maybe is soft, soulful and beautiful (just like sober). The further the singles, the less we should talk about them, so I would like to tell you ALL, to buy this CD, whether you have illegaly downloaded it, or whether you have been listening to it on a website. JUST BUY IT. If Kelly gets enough sales here, she will make more songs by herself, that means creating amazing music on every CD, wouldn't that be better than another Breakaway? (Also, there are a few hidden tracks in the ACTUAL CD as well)

Best Songs (In order):

1. Maybe

2. Sober

3. Haunted

4. Judas

5. Can I Have Kiss

6. Hole

7. Be Still

8. Irvine

9. How I Feel

10. One Minute

11. Yeah

12. Don't Waste Your Time

13. Never Again

Kelly is finally becoming an amazing songwriter, we all should praise her and hope we don't have to wait too long before the 4th cd....

Big Girls Write Good Music

2007-06-24T10:38:00.000-04:00

Fergie-Big Girls Don't Cry

4/5

Well, fergie has hit her fourth single off her debut "The Dutchess" and finally she releases a single that will be good for a long time. I woul have preffered "Here I Come" as a single, but apparently "Clumsy" will be the next single. So never mind my opinion. Big Girls Don't Cry is a very good song. The lyrics are probably top out of Fergie's CD. Meaning, this would be a good single choice. So tops to Fergie, because she actually wrote a meaningful song and didn't spell anything. So yay!

Catchiest Album so Far THIS YEAR!

2007-06-24T00:05:00.000-04:00

Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad

4.5/5

Ever since that first time I saw Rihanna perform live, I did not have her respect. With this release, she just redemed it. Rihanna's newest CD is one of the best CD's of 2007. Too bad it has to go face-to-face with Kelly Clarkson. Although the lyrics may not match up to where they shoudl be with Rihanna's voice, the catchy beats really make this CD one to remember. Whether its the climatic catchiness of "Breakin' Dishes" or the new tone in "Shut Up and Drive" this CD is packing heat for June releases. June may just have to have 2 Best CDs of June. As for "Good Girl Gone Bad" as the title, I have to agree. She has decided to not listen to her label all the time and has become a different artist with more mature songs. The next step is writing her own musi. The cd is extremely catchy and is more high active then low and mellow. The whole CD is "Radio-friendly" which will make Rihanna's next singles extremely popular. With another CD coming out inb 2008, i have to say...she is a hard worker, and may rush, but rushing isnt always bad. The only bad thing is that the beggining of the CD is very good, the last few songs are a little light...

Rihanna suprised me with this CD and will have a more brighter future to come.

Best Songs: Breakin Dishes, Don't Stop the Music, Shut Up and Drive, Push Up On Me, Rehab

Combat Ring: Round 2

2007-06-22T16:23:00.000-04:00

Round 2

Kelly Clarkson-Never Again (Champion)

VS.

Gwen Stefani-4 In the Morning

Round 2-A

Lyrics:

Kelly's lyrics are about revenge after break-up.

Fave Lyric: "I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green"

Gwen's Lyrics are about trying your hardest to make a relationship work.

Fave Lyric: "Remember when you said you would change, don't let me down"

Gwen has great lyrics, but listening to Kelly's makes you think more, because she delivers it clearer.

KELLY WINS ROUND 2-A

Round 2-B

Vocals:

Kelly has AMAZING VOCAL TALENT, but this song isn't a complete showcase of it.

Gwen has a pretty good voice, but her rapping skills and quick singing makes her vocals indefinetely unique.

GWEN WINS ROUND 2-B

Round 2-C

Beat:

Never Again has an awesome beat, it may not be able to withstand Umbrella, but it truly has a crazy and cool rock beat.

4 In the Morning is a ballad, the beat is very techno, something that serves the SKIP button on the radio.

KELLY WINS ROUND 2-C

KELLY WINS!!!

In the end, Clarkson takes her second win to the bank! It was not as close of a call, but what will happen next week when Kelly goes fist-to-fist with MCR!

Combat Ring: Round 1

2007-06-17T09:10:00.001-04:00

Here's a new concept I've decided to come up with, I put 2 singles from artists or bands and judge them based on lyrics, vocals, and all that other mumbo jumbo. If i get enough responses on you guys' input, then I will make the winners be chosen by YOU! But I need a lot of responses on this post to make that happen.

ROUND 1

Never Again-Kelly Clarkson

Umbrella-Rihanna

Round 1-A

Vocals:

Who has a better voice? You would most likely say Kelly. Rihanna does have a very good voice too, though. But, when I saw Rihanna open for the Black Eyed Peas I was really dissapointed with the vocal aspect of her music and didn't proove to me that she could sing. Kelly, on the other hand, has won American Idol, meaning we know she can sing.

Kelly wins Round 1-A!

Round 1-B

Lyrics:

On these particular songs you have to look at the lyrics ina little way. most people today are not affected by lyrics of a song, because they don't listen to them.

"Does it hurt to know i'll never be there, bet it sucks to see my face everywhere, it was you who chose to end it like you did, i was the last to know, YOU KNEW, exactly what you would do and don't say you simply lost your way. She may believe you but i never will...never again"

"When the sun shine we shine together, told you i'll be here forever, Now that its rainin' more than ever, know that we still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella"

Rihanna is a little on the light side of an analogy so...

Kelly wins Round 1-B

Round 1-C

Beat:

Yes, beat. One of the most important aspects of a song. Well, Never Again has a cool beat and Umbrella has a very catchy tone to it. Only a couple listens and you're hooked!

Rihanna wins Round 1-C

Tally Up:

Kelly-2

Rihanna-1

Sorry, Rihanna, but Never Again is better than what you have prooven so far. We'll see in the near future!

WINNER:

KELLY CLARKSON-NEVER AGAIN

Stay tuned next time for Kelly against Gwen Stefani!

From the Beggining to now the F4 have risen

2007-06-16T20:41:00.000-04:00

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

4.5/5

WOW! Another great movie in June that is really worth watching. The complete and utter idea of this movie is MUCH better than that of the first one and has emmensly grown in maturity and action. The silver surfer is one of the best villians ever, making this one of the best superhero movies EVER. Yes, regardless of Jessica Alba's cheesy acting, this movie is one that prooves it deserves a third. Everything is completely different from the first. The storyline, the graphics, and the worthless problems are a lot better than broken puzzle pieces (the first movie had tons of 'em). Anyways...here's the throwdown:

HIGHLIGHTS

There was a lot more action than there was in the first movie and the graphics made the battle scenes more believable. The return of Dr.Doom actually made sense when you learned what the surfer could do. The storyline was more adventorous than "I'm mad because you all forgot about me..." It was more or less intergalactic space aliens from a society unlike our own being controllled by a dominant force Galactus, similar to a God, controlling the surfer. Makes more sense and is more educational.

LOWLIGHTS

Galactus was portrayed wrong; why was he a huge cloud? Jessica Alba's acting was pretty bad, but it wasn't too noticable.

In the end, F4 2 is the best superhero movie of the year and one of the bestof all time.

An Intense, Wild RIDE!

2007-06-16T10:39:00.000-04:00

Surf's Up

4.5/5

Who would have thought that another animated penguin movie would come out. Well, penguins have become the latest thing with kids these days and are really making a lot of money for those who animate 'em. So when I heard of Surf's Up, I figured it would be a crappy copy of Happy Feet.

Boy, Oh Boy, was i wrong! Surf's Up is one of my favourite animated movies ever. It is funny and is basically a spiced up Happy feet with less morals. It's out there for fun. Happy Feet can't hold a candle to this one. The movie is done in a unique documentary form which was really cool watching. It was like an animated reality show.

HIGHLIGHTS

This movie prooves that animated movies don't have to appeal to kids only. This movie was fun to watch and really had a sense of style in many areas. Kids will laugh at the things that are more humorous to them like bathing in glow-worm poo. But if you ask me, this movie would be a lot more fun to see with your friends than to bring your kids.

LOWLIGHTS

It was short. The funnier characters didn't get a lot of screen time either, but that's about it.

In conclusion, Surf's Up is the best animated movie of 2007. Can't wait to see F4-ROTSS, Evan Almighty and Live Free or Die Hard to see which will be the Best Movie of June!

KELLY CLARKSON SUMMER TOUR CANCELLED!

2007-06-16T09:15:00.000-04:00

Damn! Bought tickets 2 weeks ago and now this, well just putting it up here so that u guys know that u have to call whoever and get refunds. This sorta sucks, but she fired her manager postponing this till the Winter, most likely. Hopefully the ticket sales will be higher once people hear the CD.

Getting Knocked Up has its highs and lows...

2007-06-16T09:03:00.000-04:00

WARNING! MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Knocked Up

3.5/5

Well, after getting AMAZING reviews i just had to watch this movie. The problem is, the critics are different from normal people out in the world like me. They look at MEANING, and PLOT. Normal people look at LOTS OF LAUGHS and that's about it. Especially in a movie like this. Well, there are lots of laughs, but there is a problem with them. Me, being a teen would never laugh at these things in front of a certain group of people. If i was watching this with my parents, it wouldn't be as enjoyable because of the raunchy humor that they would look down on me by. You get my point. There are certain movies you can see with your parents...this ain't one of em.

HIGHLIGHTS

This movie is quite funny. It makes you laugh at every turn, whether it's Kristen Wiig (SNL) doing her "penelope" voice that she once used on SNL to show her jealousy. Or the menopas(how do u spell that) that Heigel goes through during many times. I have to say, the best characters are Pete and Debbie- Heigel's sister and brother-in-law. Debbie is funny to watch as she continuously calls Pete a F***ing dipshit (excuse my french) because he doesn't want to protect his kids from Mercury or child malesters (you have to watch it to get it).

LOWLIGHTS

It's long. 2 hours long. That may not seem like the 3 hrs of Pirates 3, but it's bad to stretch a comedy like that. There is lots of swearing and two scenes where sex takes place, although you don't see and organs, you hear a lot of moaning. For some viewers, that is a little disturbing. The content is vulgar, meaning you can only watch it with people like 13 and up. And since you can't watch it with your parents, your stuck with your friends. Fun times, but odd moments.

In the end, Knocked Up is funny, but the intense content leaves me to wonder how movies like this get 5/5...

The Yellowcard can't slow down this band!

2007-06-13T21:25:00.001-04:00

Yellowcard-Light Up The Sky (Single)

4/5

YELLOWCARD! I have always been addicted to their music and really am beggining to think that they are the top contender for next months ARTIST OF THE MONTH, but I'm not jumping to anything JUST yet. Yellowcard's new song is not as addictive as its predecessors, but will be...one of those takes a while songs. This new move is a move from Rock to Pop/rock...NICE MOVE! Unlike Bon Jovi, they made a step up and I'm hoping Paper Walls (July 17th) delivers! This song is quite good, do i hope it becomes a big hit!

Jon Bovi is completely LOST!

2007-06-13T21:16:00.000-04:00

Bon Jovi-Lost Highway

2/5

I truly hate it when a band goes from pop/rock to something else; especially in this display where Bon Jovi has gone from Pop/Rock to FREAKIN COUNTRY MUSIC! Look, country ain't exactly awful, but at a viewing point, pop/rock is a much popular and better genre. the name "Lost Highway" simply and exactly states where Bon Jovi is right now; on a lost highway in the middle of nowhere (metaphorically speaking). Usually, it would be interesting to see the development of a band, but this is taking one step in the wrong direction. Bon Jovi will have no success with this CD and i seriously advise them to go back to the drawing board and come up with another better CD for next year; that way they won't lose all their fans. I am truly disappointed at them and cannot explain how weird this CD. With Le Ann Rimes singing in the backround, i fell like I'm in some old Sugar shack in the middle of nowhere. Just like a lost highway in the middle of nowhere. Obviously the title wasn't meant to say that "these songs are way off track"-but thats what happens when they are....

Best Songs: Make a Memory, Everybody's Broken, Summertime, Lost Highway

Kelly's Better When She's Sober

2007-06-09T09:49:00.001-04:00

Kelly Clarkson-Sober

5/5

This is the crucial breaking point in a CD. The slow single which follows the catchy single. If you cannot live up, your CD will fail. Luckily for Kelly, Sober is her best single ever. And -in fact- is one of the best on her new CD (review coming soon). It is seriously packing the lyrics, which is something that Kelly has never done- write a full CD. This song prooves that Kelly is both vocally and lyrically talented and can pack the heat when it comes to making a great album. Sober is not exactly single material, but everyone likes it, so request it, talk about it and make it the amazing single it should be. GO KELLY CLARKSON!

When you're Avril; You'll Never be gone...

2007-06-09T09:40:00.000-04:00

Avril Lavigne-WhenYou're Gone

4/5

Although Avril was predicted to be a one hit wonder; this song sort of hits that. The reason she didn't become a one hit wonder is beacuse when she's gone, you desperately miss avril. With that being said, Avril may not have chosen the best single here- but as a successful artist, you should be able to choose your singles without the record label telling you to pick something else. Since Avril has always been like this, I don't think we'll ever get tired of her music and i litterally think that she will be around for many years to come. Avril stays because of her choices. This song is her choice. Get it?

Gun Violence FINALLY Sung About!

2007-06-09T09:32:00.001-04:00

My Chemical Romance-Teenagers

4.5/5

After a long-awaited release, the best song off "The Black Parade" is a single. Teenagers is about being rejected and using violence as a term to proove what you're made of. This song is not only catchy but it deals with such gun violences like Colombine and Virginia Tech Massacre (The reason this single was delayed). With powerful lyrics and an amazing beat, teenagers is seriously the greatest My Chemical Romance song ever. The video is already all over music stations and the song will hit radios sooner or later. Stay tuned, because a fourth single and tour ending means going back to the drawing board for these hard-ass rockers.

2007-05-31T17:40:00.001-04:00

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

5/5

Although we've had great movies this month, it is Pirates that everyone is truly waiting for. Well...ITS HERE! After watching it on Friday, I was amazed with the astounding effects, amazing fighting sequences, great plot(s), and vicious pirate sleuthing like never before. This film started off basically right where Dead Man's Chest finished, making it easy for fans to understand.

Highlights

Everything. This movie was great. Whether it was the dimension travelling into Davy Jones' locker, the beautiful scenery, the action, the graphics and the many hilarious pirates this is truly the best of its kind and i dare any film maker to try and make a better Disney film.

Lowlights

....

Final Reveiw: Pirates is truly a must see for die hards and for never-before fans. Although you should rent the 2nd before watching this one. The best of all the Pirates.

CD Review: After 5 Years, im Still Back At Your Door

2007-05-27T10:56:00.000-04:00

Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long

5/5

Okay, yes! It's finally in my hands, after the LONG five year wait from "Songs About Jane (Another 4.5/5 HIT!)" which came out in 2002. This album had a lot to live up to. Did it? HELL YA (sort of ironic that Artist of the month always gets a great mark)! Maroon 5's new CD may take 2 listens to get used to, but the second listen is surely the most fun you will have. This CD takes you back to the 80's with great tunes and that old classical Bass guitar taking the lead. I wasn't in the 80's (btw). The lyrics are a little less "Let's have wild sex" and a little more emotional. Basically, this is the break-up with Jane and although some are "let's have wild sex" only about 2 are. Is this better than Songs About Jane? Yes, it is. Why? Well, the CD is more or less a risk. Songs About Jane was a very safe CD. What I mean by that is they stayed to one true sound. In this one, they change their sound numerously, hense the riskiness.

If I Never See Your Face Again - This song is a great sart to the CD, infact it intensifes the CD. It makes a powerful beat and is more or less the old Maroon

Makes Me Wonder- We all know this song, it's catchy and great! But after a while, it sorta is the victim of the > >Button.

A Little Of Your Time- This is the sex song. It's catchy enough to be great. In fact it could be a possible single.

Wake Up Call- The next single. It's got to grow on you. But it still is quite good, I really like the lyrics.

Won't Go Home Without You- This is most likely going to be the third single. It's the first slow song on this CD. It's quite good. It is the old Maroon 5.

Nothing Lasts Forever- This song's chorus is actually the line that Adam Levine (lead singer) sang in the Kanye West song "Heard Em Say". This is another slow song, and most likely the best song on the CD. The first listen is mixed.

Can't Stop- This is the first song that you really love ont he first listen. It's very rockish and more or less like a newer Maroon 5. This should be a single.

Goodnight, Goodnight- This, would be the greatest Maroon 5 song ever. It packs so much lyrical power and great beats.

Not Falling Apart- Probably the least favourite of all the songs. It's liek old Maroon 5 and it's a good song, but compared to the CD as a whole, it's not that good.

Kiwi- This would be the last "Lets have wild sex" song. It's catchy and reminds me of true Maroon colour.

Better That We Break- Takes getting used to. But at one point while listening to this CD it will get stuck in your head and remain there.

Back At Your Door- Great Song. Sort of like "Sunday Morning" type of beat, but more active.

This is one of the best CD's of the year. To me, it's tie with Avril for first spot.

Best Songs: 1. Goodnight, Goodnight, 2.Nothing Lasts Forever, 3.Back at your door, 4. can't Stop, 5. If i never see your face again, 6. A Little of your time, 7. Wake Up Call, 8. Kiwi, 9. Better that we break, 10. Won't Go Home Without You, 11. Not Falling Apart, 12. Makes Me Wonder

Movie Review: Ogre Loses Some Colour

2007-05-27T10:41:00.000-04:00

Shrek the Third

3.5/5

When Shrek came out back in 2002, the laughs were continuous and the movie had become the most popular animated movie in years, beating out Toy Story. Then, in 2004 when Shrek 2 came out, everyone figured that the movie would suck and ruin the whole idea of Shrek. Luckily, it didn't. Shrek 2 was actually better than the first and introduced the best character in the world; Puss In Boots! Then when Shrek 3 came out, people believed that it would also be amazing. Wrong. Although Shrek the Third is a great movie, it seriously does not live up to its predecessors. Maybe if you never saw the first 2, you would have been delighted and thought it was amazing. Sure, all Shrek movies are great, but at the same time, there's no point in ruining the series for money. This one doesn't ruin the series, but I'm sure the fourth and fifth they've got planned will surely be enough. Maybe its not a matter of ruining the series; individually the movie is quite good. The ideas are out there but dont go that far.

Highlights

Well; the movie does have very good jokes throughout the first half. In fact there are some that you're laughing out loud. The characters also all stayed true to themselves and the personalities weren't changed.

Lowlights

The movie's second half was quite rushed. Also, the movie wasn't as good as the first two.

Final Review: Shrek 3 is good; but not good enough.

Single Review: Catchy Song Will Be this Summer's Hit

2007-05-26T14:15:00.000-04:00

Rihanna-Umbrella

4/5

Rihanna has another CD coming out. I know crazy! Considering the first one came out in 2005 and the second in 2006. She obviously works hard enough to produce 3 CDs in 3 years. This is her best song yet. Sadly, we all know Rihanna only has 1 good song per CD "Pon De Replay", "SOS" and now "Umbrella". The first listen will turn you off totally, the second listen will have you jumping out of your seat going crazy. Jay-Z does nothing for this song, but the catchiness will make it the summer hit of this year!!!

CD Review: A long wait for a long wait...

2007-05-26T14:07:00.001-04:00

Linkin Park- Minutes to Midnight

2.5/5

Long time no see; all of a sudden Linkin Park comes back after a 4 year waiting period with a measley 12 tracks and an album that takes a long time to get used to. This first time you listen to it you wish it wasn't the CD. The second time, you declare that it's "okay". The third time, you begin to get used to it, but only a few songs. The fourth time, you finally like it. That's just not good enough. People will quickly deny this CD and put it on the back shelf after listening to it twice and thinking its just okay. Sure, the die hard fans will convince themselves that its a great CD and it's catchy. But that's only because they have to re-assure themselves that their fave band is still doing good. Although some tracks have you bopping your head, others have you falling asleep and some have u pressing the > > (Fast Forward) button on your CD player continuously (reminds me of Year Zero-NIN). So after waiting 4 years, the climax drops to failure and then grows again. But after such a long wait what non-die hard fan would want to wait another 4 listens?

First Ever Movie Review: Web-Slinger Lands On The Tallest Of Buildings

2007-05-12T12:06:00.000-04:00

Spider-Man 3

4.5/5

Caution; Minor Spoilers may be ahead!!!

When Spider-Man was released in 2002, the market of Superhero movies was at an all time high. Although Batman and Superman had franchises before, they were no match for the great Spider-Man. The first film branched off into a movie franchise in which has broken worldwide box office records with each release. "Spider-Man 3" has already grossed 350$ million worldwide in one weekend, with predictions of box office breakthrough by the end of May. Spider-Man has made his mark, but is it rubbing off?

High-Points

Almost everything in this movie is something to shout about. Whether it's the awesome graphics that bring the action sequences, Sandman, and Venom to life or the different sides that we see of Peter Parker; Spider-Man 3 is the best of its franchise. The movie is also quite a difference to the others, since the bad guys actually have somethinbg to fight for (in this case; revenge) instead of just wanting to "Kill Spider-Man" for no reason (Green Goblin) or to take over the city (Dr. Octopus). Not only that but Sandman has a quite unique story of his own on the side. He has a daughter who has cancer, and is trying to steal money for her medication while on the run as an escaped convict and the "Sandman". The movie has amazing effects and is worth claiming the title of best Superhero Movie ever.

Low-Points

The only low-point of the movie is the corny lines. Like "Am I interrupting"(Harry whike trying to fight off Sandman and get Peter's attention), or "I Forgive You" (When Peter and Sandman have an intimate converstion about Uncle Ben's death). But besides that, I see no other flaws.

I reccomend that you check out this movie for sure. You won't be dissapointed by the webslinging hero at all.

Single Review: Never Again-Kelly Clarkson

2007-05-05T07:53:00.000-04:00

So, after confusing us with that "One Minute" song that Kelly sang at the Daytona 500 Race, she actually chose a single. "Never Again" is the most fierce of all the Kelly Clarkson songs. It's basically about a guy who betrayed her for another woman. The song has a good tone to it as rock vibes pulse through your head as you listen. Her voice sounds awesomely demonic and she's taking a new spin on her music. Not to mention that she wrote tis one! Looks like Idol's contract can't last forever. So, is the change better or worse...well this is exactly like Avril. When the style of music changes, so do most of the fans. I still think Kelly will be able to make a huge hit with this song and her upcoming release "My December". So, yes, it's for the better.

Final Review: 4.5/5

Clarkson is back and more powerful than ever.

News!-Dumb Techinical Difficulties:( and More...

2007-05-05T07:43:00.000-04:00

So lately, I haven't posted anything, it's not that I've stopped caring, it's just I couldn't get into my account for the past 2 weeks! But that's all okay...I'm in Now. I'm going to skip the American Idol Reviews for the past 2 weeks. That will start again on Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday. I also, I want to tell you that this site will be more commercial. I will post the odd post here or there about a show (un-related to music) and I will have concert Reviews, since I will peobably be going to A LOT of 'em this year.

Artist of the Month is Also Maroon 5. So enjoy the 5 reviews I have in the waiting for them. Thanks a Bunch for stayin put with me during these rough times.
ROBSDOBS;)

News!-New Rating System And Avril Month

2007-04-21T08:25:00.000-04:00

Okay, so after looking at the rating system I have, I feel like it's too confusing, so the new rating system will be numbers /5 instead of letters out of /A+.

Letter Number
A++(and beyond)= 5/5

A+ = 4.5/5

A = 4/5

B+ = 3.5/5

B = 3/5

C+ = 2.5/5

C = 2/5

D = 1/5

F = 0/5

So, as an example, the past two reviews would be (on the new system) 5/5 for the Best Damn thing, and 2.5/5 for Year Zero. I'm pretty sure you've already figured that out. So enjoy the new reviews.

Also, This month is Still Avril month, although I have nothing left to review, she'll stilkl have song of the day, and at this point, I'm going to already add her CD as "The Best Of April" although I will soon review Tori Amos and Arctic Monkeys; I doubt they'll beat her.

CD Review: Nine Inch Nails-Year Zero

2007-04-20T17:30:00.000-04:00

The electronic fueled NIN have taken the world by storm by the releases of their CD's. And after massive success their seventh CD to date "Year Zero" hits CD stands all over the world. The band (now focused on one single member, Trent Rezor) has seemed to lose their awesome edge. "With Teeth" was a fantastic Debut from Nine Inch Nails in '05. The songs were powerful and really thought out. Something this album doesn't seem to continue to prudly represent. Apparently, this CD was based on trent Rezor's view of the United States in 2022. Considerably, everyone cares about the United States to some extent, but why do we have to listen to someone who writes music for a living's prediction on how the American Government will act in 15 years from now. Well, a CD is based on lyrics, not just sound. The lyrics are interesting, but at the same time, they lose focus of the original NIN songs. Over the past two years, we were all left with "Right Where It Belongs" as the last NIN song until this CD's release. Well, fairly enough, that was probably the best we will ever hear from NIN. This CD packs 16 tracks in an hour of good lyrics, but misused beats and no climaxes. But not only this, apparently Rezor has a plan to create a movie based off of this CD (also called "Year Zero"). So you can't help but feel this CD was rushed in order to work oin another project. You sort of get that vibe when you listen to the songs. Each song begins to get a climax, but drops and makes you want to push the > > (fast-forward) button on your CD player, in hopes that the next song will not be as unsuccessful. The problem is, you'll most likely be doing this for 13 or so songs. Considering only about 3 songs on this CD are good. To me, an opinion is not worth putting unless you're trying to warn people. And to an extent, this isn't a warning. It was a message that was written too fast, so it came out sloppy and unattractive to the human ears.

Final Review: C+

Lyrics make songs, but at the same time, the song has to make the lyrics. The best and most quickly rushed thing since Oprah's "The Secret". Which did sell...Sadly...

CD Review: Avril lavigne-The Best Damn Thing

2007-04-17T19:56:00.000-04:00

Send your fists into the air and defy! Avril Lavigne's most anticipated album is here and it's BIG! Not only did I pick up one of the last copies at my local Best Buy (of the last shipment), but it's seemed to be predicted that these album sales will sky-rocket! But is the album going to have a lot to live up to...? Hell Yeah! It's been three years since Avril's CD " Under My Skin" hit stores. Making a long wait hard to overcome. Not only that but Avril has a lot to live up to if she indeed (which she sort of has) chooses to change her image. Well, the Skater Girl from Napanee, Ontario, Canada is seriously packing some heat on the release. It's got a great variety of powerful ballads and fun songs. So before you buy this CD, I suggest dance lessons; cuz you're going to want to use 'em. Sure, her older fans may not be impressed by the new change, but she's attracting younger kids, teenagers and dragging her fans back into her magnetic field. Although the leak was present over the past 2 weeks, the loyal fans (like me) still bought the CD. And I encourage all to do the same. The lyric book is fantastically put together and the CD is full of intricate stuff. But now, let's get to the music.

1. Girlfriend - The song that struck the world by phenomenal storm is still reigning over the charts and hasn't stopped. This song has been critically damaged, but has still made it through. Avril may be acting different here, but it's fun to do that (this is the reason she would be an awesome actress). This song deserves an A+

2. I Can Do Better - Well, it's god damn cathcy that's for sure. I Can Do Better is the snooty Avril we have come to know for so long. This is basically saying, who gives a fk if I find someone hotter! A+

3. Runaway - A mastermind and top Avril song ever for me. It reminds me of the old days from "Let Go". She wants to be free. This is the Avril we know. Who said she ever changed? A+

4. The Best Damn Thing - Okay, this is different, but catchy. The song is fun to listen to and makes you want to dance all around your room. The song states "I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen". Making this song the best damn thing that my ears have ever heard. A+

5. When You're Gone - A great ballad from Avril. It sticks to her true taste. It's quite a good song. it's also the next single, which is sort of odd to me but is worthy of the title. Hopefully we see more of these in Avril's next CDs. A+

6. Everything Back But You - "Bitch, slut, psycho babe" is the most memorable ine from this song. Tells you something, shouldn't it? No, actually this song is awesome and, like I Can Do Better, is the normal rocking Avril we all know and love. Give me those defiant fists people! A+

7. Hot - A great song. Although there seems to be a climatic error, it's something that would be used for slow motion, giving you a feeling of sexiness. Ew..did I just say that. W/e. A+

8. Innocence - Awesomely Awesome Ballad that totally outshines "When you're Gone's" power. Probably the best song on the CD, and should be thought of as a future single. A+ and beyond...

9. I Don't Have To Try - Okay, I have to admit, the begging part where she does that rapping thing is a little creepy, but the resy of the song makes up for it. It's all about not having to try in a relationship. Notice how Whibley didn't produce this one LOL. A+

10. One of Those Girls - This song is another that tops the list. It's phenomenally catchy and brings back more of Avril's old flavor to the table. Awesomeness in a song. Woot! A+

11. Contagious - Okay, this is also seriously catchy and fun (get those dancing shoes out). But, the song is only 2:10, leaving me to ponder if this song is long enough to take the top of her list. Surely if it was longer it could've been a single. But songs shouldn't be so short. Oh Well! love it anyway. A+

12. Keep Holding On - This is a good song, just it's a little old. It's sort of worn off with all the promotion and such and such. Although it's good, it's not up to the rest of the Cd's standards. A

BEST SONGS (IN ORDER):

1. Innocence

2. the Best Damn Thing

3. Runaway

4. One of Those Girls

5. Contagious

6. I Can Do better

7. Hot

8. When You're Gone

9. Everything Back But You

10. I Don't Have To Try

11. Girlfriend

12. Keep Holding On

Final Review: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is the best damn thing that your ears have ever heard.

Old Avril CD Review: Under My Skin

2007-04-16T16:59:00.000-04:00

Avril Lavigne has made a lot of marks in her music career. This one seemed to be more powerful than others. Why? It shows a dark side and a fun side to vril. Can those two type of genres mix when it comes to music? Well yes and no. I mean, the songs are somewhat randomly placed. I think maybe the sad songs or dark songs shouldve been first, then the happy songs. But does that affect the overall CD. No. Not for people who like the shuffle feature. So, I will review the CD itself. Under My Skin, is epic. That's all I have to say. It's predecessor does not have the power that these lyrics contain. Although the songs off the first CD are great, they don't match to the power of this one.

Old Avril Single Review: He Wasn't

2007-04-16T16:58:00.000-04:00

Okay, so, The SNL performances were awesome (I'd like to correct that she didn't sing "When you're Gone" but "I Can Do Better". They were fantastic. Now listening to this song, I realize something. Everyone says that Avril has taken a dramatic change. But listen to He Wasn't. It was the last single off of "Under My Skin" and it has almost the same sound of "Girlfriend" & "I Can Do Better". So technically, I call her transfromation an evolution. This song is so much fun. It may be a little short, but it's fun and rebellious. That's just Avril. Sure, it's not as forward as "Girlfreind" is, saying "I want to be your girlfriend". This is more like, "I would never in my whole lifetime, even think aout being your mother effin girlfriend". So ya, a bit of change, but it's the style that matters. Avril truly represents her-new-self here.

Final Review: A+

Awesome song by Avril!

Avril News!

2007-04-14T10:40:00.000-04:00

So, to promote her next CD, Avril will be performing on SNL (Saturday night Live) tonight!

So, if you're a fan, support her by watching. I'm pretty sure she'll be singing "Girlfriend" and "When You're Gone". So make the popcorn and get the couch ready, cuz tonight's gunna be a good one. Alos on the show tonight, "Disturbia" star Shia LaBeouf. Also, if you've never watched this show, and are only tuning in for Avril, beware, the show has lost power, so the skits aren't that great. Just wait for the Wekkend Update or TV Funhouse. Those are the best weekly skits. And don't forget to watch Avril!

Old Single Review: Nobody's Home

2007-04-14T10:35:00.000-04:00

Okay, so the sad and dark side of Avril comes out. This song is so perfectly dramatic. It makes you want to sing along. The emotions come alive quickly and sorrowfully. It takes the emotion out of everything else and storms it into an emotional ballad of its own. Not only that, but there's a good message in it too. Kid's Help Phone sponsored this video for kids living on the street (I have no idea how they could see it). So it was a powerful essage and emotion. This song is still played on the radio and is still stricken as fantastic!

Final Review: A+

Love it! And nothing to live up to!

Old Avril Single Review: My Happy Ending

ONE WORD: BEST AVRIL SINGLE EVER (WELL 4 WORDS BUT W/E)

FINAL REVIEW: A+++++++

Old Avril Single Review: Don't Tell Me

2007-04-13T19:29:00.000-04:00

So. Avril starts out her new CD with a new song. This one wasn't the best choice, though. It's catchy and fun, but compared to other singles, it doesn't live up to her nature. At the time, I was about 10 years old. Barely Walking yet.... I loved the song. Was it because I loved Avril? I don't think so. I think this song has something inside of it that's worth finding, but it will turn down first-time listeners. Still, the song is about the pressures of sex. Kinda good to talk about, but not when you're twenty years old. Still, Avril's female independece shows off quickly on this song. Too bad she got married after 2 years of dating someone. Then changing her appearence. This is not really what Avril has lived up to...

Final Review: B

Good song, not good dedication by Avril.

Old Avril CD Review: Let Go (2002)

2007-04-13T19:19:00.000-04:00

Okay lots of reviews today! Starting with this one. Let Go was Avril's debut CD. It was very powerful back then, and still powerful to this date. I love thios CD, even better than the second CD, now thast I listened to it again. Avril has serious power in this CD and i think I understand the point of her 3rd CD. She's made her mark, now shes gunna pretty it up a little.

Old Avril Single Review: I'm With You

2007-04-06T08:54:00.000-04:00

Again, another powerful ballad from Avril Lavigne. This is what kept her shining in the music industry. But people no longer see the sad side of Avril, is it because of the new look? The new sound? Or her releasing faster singles? Well, don't worry. The next single is called "When You're Gone" and its a powerful ballad. Which shows that Avril hasn't given up on her soft side. Plus, who can forget Keep Holding On? That's on her new CD. Oh and there's still one more fantastic Ballad on "The Best Damn Thing!" called "Innocence" So Avril has a great song here, and still shines with that certain type of music. Finally! This song is great. It totally brings Avril's emotions to life with powerful lyrics and a hollow mood that leaves you crying for more.

Final Review: A+

Avril loves ballads, and she still lives up to making them great!

Old Avril Single Review: Losing Grip

2007-04-06T08:42:00.000-04:00

Okay, so this is one of my fave Avril rock-out song. And after hearing the new CD, it seems to me like we'll never see one like this again. Too bad (the CD is still awesome; review on April 17th). So, I consider this song classic. One of the coolest beats to rock out to. When I bought Let Go, this was the first song I listened too. The moment when she became one of my fave artists. Listening to the third CD while typing this review sort of shows me why she still is the best Female Artist (tied with Furtado). So now, when I change songs to Losing Grip, i realize the chnage isn't a bad thing...it's her trying out new kinds of music, and this stands out as the most powerful Rock single she's released and it should stay that way. Woo! Avril..

Final Review: A

Although this is one of the best songs, Avril still has a lot to live up to here.

IDOL RANT!-Gina Glocksen and the A.I Boycot

2007-04-04T21:37:00.000-04:00

OKAY! I GIVE UP! I thought I could handle Sanjaya staying in, but when Haley and Gina were left standing and Gina was eliminated, it appalled me! How frikin stupid can the American Public be (no offense)! Sure i predicted her in the bottom 3, but it doesn't mean she should have gone home. This is #$@*&^ crazy! Sanjaya does not deserve to stay, Haley does not deserve to stay; yet Gina goes home. %@*# this! I'm done with this show forever! I can handle Chris Daughtry being eliminated last year because i knew he'd be famous. But Gina doesn't have that same chance because she came in 9TH! It's not just about Gina, it's also the fact that 2 untalented show-wreckers still exist! Sanjaya is a load of crap and his father gets soo Gosh darn excited...it's like the whole family is crazy for thinking their son is worthy of staying in the competition this long. The boycot has started as of now...and the TV world has become complete shit and nonsense. I do this in memory of Gina, Stephanie, Chris Daughtry and all the people who were eliminated by retarted people who think a talentless, heartless person can win American Idol. The game is over. The show has already lost steam and the kettle is running out fast!

American Idol Review: 04/03/07

2007-04-04T15:58:00.000-04:00

Okay! Time for another Idol review! Last night's show was interesting, most people did good, but some people (coff!*Sanjaya) weren't at the top of their game. With some information from behind the lines, i have a predicted bottom 3 list. I can tell you already that Sanjaya isn't on it! America! Are you listening, Americal Idol is not rigged! So stop voting for Sanjaya; Howard Stern's message to the public was a ploy to get the show's ratings up! This has become the biggest joke of the year, i feel so bad for everyone who can do amazing with a career; but too bad Sanjaya's in the way!

Single Review: Maroon 5-Makes Me Wonder

2007-04-03T17:47:00.000-04:00

(This month isn't all about Avril...so here's a reveiw in between; there will be several)

Well, Well, Well! Maroon 5 is FINALLY BACK! So they hit the world with a new cd after 5 years (released on May 22nd). This is going to have high expectations, considering "Songs About Jane" was literally the best CD of 2002. Does this single live up to my expectations. YA! This is probably the best single so far. The beat is awesome, Levine never sounded better and it is seriously one of the awesomest songs ever! I was sort of sonfused about Levine's voice in the previous CD. Now he's very well adapted to his new surroundings with this beat. He has become a lot more improved and so has the band.

Final Review: A+

Marron 5 are back baby! Nothing here Makes Me Wonder!

Old Avril Single Review: Sk8rboi (Let Go-2002)

2007-04-03T17:33:00.000-04:00

Who the hell will forget this song? No one knows~because it has to be one of Avril's best. Not only does this song still ROCK today, but she doesn't contradict her new image with it. In fact, it works well with her new image. She married a Sk8erboi after he broke up with his old girlfriend. Nicely done Avril! You listened to yourself. Lisnin to this song again gets me so excited. It has an awesome beat and never gives up. It seriously is GREAT! The only tiny flaw is the lyrics. They do have meaning but they're a little more childish than heartfelt. Oh! Well! This is an awesome medley from one of the best artist's ever.

Final Review: A+

Not many get an A+, but Avril has proven that this song hasn't given up in her life.
