Motorhead – “The World Is Yours” Album Review
Posted by admin on Jan 29, 2010
This is the 20th Motörhead studio album in their 35th year of existence, and it came out just a few weeks before Lemmy Kilmister’s 65th birthday (born on December 24th 1945 in Stoke-on-Trent, England). The album is the essence of Lemmy and the essence of the band Motörhead.
“The Wörld Is Yours” is one of the best albums of the band and it’s one of the best rock albums this year, thanks to songs like “Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye”, “Get Back In Line”, “I know What You Need” and “I know how to die”.
The songs are full of Lemmy’s well known personal philosophy (“avoid idiots at all cost”, according to Lemmy that’s about 8-9 out of 10 people he meets, “rock and roll is my religion”, etc.) and he makes an effort to spread it with more melody than usual.
Just to make sure you know who he’s singing about, there are at least 10 “I’s” in each song. The lyrics and messages are kept simple (some stupid) but always honest and direct.
Lemmy sings a lot about death on this album, about facing death, and about living and dying without fear. In the song “Brotherhood of Men” the topic of death is put in political and social context, in “Outlaw” it’s about living your life the way you want and facing the inevitable (“… the one that kills you never hurts”).
The song “Rock N Roll Music” is his “Rockin’ All Over The World” (Status Quo). He is Rock ‘n’ Roll, he lives it, and it’s his lifestyle and religion.
Lemmy doesn’t know any better than to rock ‘n’ roll, but he is the best in what he does, the last living real rock ‘n’ roller and should get the acknowledgment for it during his lifetime.

Indy Artist Jack Stevens Solo Release: High, Dirty and Low – Music Review
Posted by admin on Jan 20, 2010
Stevens, the former front man for Florida-based hard rock band Sin City has released his debut CD. Combining the sounds of 80s hair-band rock with a more contemporary edge, High, Dirty & Low offers a little something for everyone, and will have you cranking up the volume on your players.
Stevens’ songs pay homage to one of the best arena rock eras – the hair bands of the 80s. And like the biggest bands from that decade, Stevens manages to find just the right hook, making it clear that he intends to last as long as the iconic bands from back in the day. Stevens’ musical influences (Poison, Bon Jovi) are apparent on this release, but the songs also have an edge that keep them contemporary.
It’s a rare treat these days to be able to hear each instrument to it’s fullest in highly-produced music. With High, Dirty & Low, Stevens’ highlights the talents of his band on each track. Whether it is a driving hard rock number like XXX, or the almost haunting Borrowed Time, listeners are able to enjoy music at it’s best – real instruments, real playing.
Blistering guitar solos, fabulous bass work, excellent drums and stunning keyboard work don’t just provide a backdrop for Stevens vocals, they each stand on their own to allow for a fuller and richer musical experience; Stevens’ and his crew deliver each and every time they unplug on this album for an acoustic interlude.
Lead Singer Jack Stevens’ vocals deliver. From the heartbreaking rawness of Amy to the bluesy feel of Risk or Die, it seems there isn’t anything that Stevens can’t do here.
If you like good, old-fashioned hard rock, you don’t need to look much further than Jack Stevens High, Dirty & Low.
Rihanna – What’s My Name Ranks Billboard’s First Place
Posted by admin on Jan 17, 2010
Rihanna’s newest album Loud has been a great success recently. The two songs Love the Way You Lie and Only Girl are especially popular. On the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony, Rihanna was dressed like a floral fairy and performed.
It is quite happy and excited to see your favorite singer achieving great success. Actually in our lives there are always people we admire. Sometimes it is a singer, a writer or a painter. We read lots of their stories and are inspired by them. In our difficult times, they give our strength and belief. We cherish them and sometimes we even fight for them if people say something not nice about them.
Personally speaking, I like Michael Jackson, who bears a controversial reputation. He is famous and vastly admired. But still he is criticized and judged. In my eyes, he is not only the star in pop music world, but also successful as a human being. Even today when I listen to heal the world, I am touched by the softness and care he shows in this song. I have no wish to use past tense to talk about him because in my heart, he is still alive.
Music not gives us much pleasure but also provides us another way to understand or know the world. It shows the sorrow and joy in our lives. It tells the sweetness and pains in the love stories. It gives us hopes and future when we are in trouble or trapped. It has no nation borders. A great piece of music is always appreciated by people from the entire world.
Listening to music has a lot of fun. Strangers can make friends with each other by sharing the music or musicians they know. It is quite common now. For some people, they even fall in love with each other. So music is really a good thing in our lives. Can people picture the lives without music?
As Christmas is coming, you can choose an album or a CD for your friend even now we listen quite a lot online. Love music, love life.
