Music Review #91: "Green Onions"

Today, I will be reviewing "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the M.G.s. This song was released in 1962 as part of Booker T. and the M.G.s' "Green Onions" album. This is what you call classic jazz at its finest. Nice rhythm and I like how they go heavy on the organ. The bass guitar also helps keep the nice rhythm along with the drums. I think the addition of the electric guitar is interesting. This is a song that I remember listening to when I was in preschool. I have always enjoyed this song. I give this song a ten out of ten.

Music Review #89: "Move Along"

Today, I will be reviewing "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects. This song was released in 2005 as part of The All-American Rejects' "Move Along" album. I think the drumming at the beginning of the song is pretty cool. My favorite part of the song is definitely the repeat. I remember that I heard this song all over the place when I was young. This song is very uplifting and I feel that it is quite powerful. This is a very good song. I give this song a ten out of ten.

Music Review #88: "Ich Tu dir Weh"

Today, I will be reviewing "Ich Tu dir Weh" by Rammstein. This song was released in 2009 as part of Rammstein's "Liebe ist fur alle da" album. Right off the bat, I absolutely love Christian "Flake" Lorenz's synthesizer solo in the beginning. Not only does it sound really cool, it has a sinister flare to it. Also, I find the transition from the mellow-sounding synthesizer solo to the heavy guitar playing. I really like the repeat in this song. Even though this entire song is in German and I know a bit of German, it is still very interesting. I find that listening to songs in different languages can help you learn how to speak a language. I really like this song. I give this song a ten out of ten.

Music Review #87: "Closing Time"

Today, I will be reviewing "Closing Time" by Semisonic. This song was released in 1998 as part of Semisonic's "Feeling Strangely Fine" album. I like how this song is very mellow and I really like the guitar and piano in this song. I also really like the repeat in this song. The vocals aren't bad, but I think the singer's voice is relatively weak. Overall, this is a really solid song. I give this song a nine out of ten.

Music Review #85: "Chances"

Today, I will be reviewing "Chances" by Five for Fighting. This song was released in 2009 as part of Five for Fighting's "Slice" album. This song has one of my favorite piano pieces in it I also really like the rhythm in this song as well. This song is about a young man and a young woman meeting each other and falling in love. I also feel that Five for Fighting has a really good voice. I feel that this song is one of those songs that is naturally supposed to bring you to tears. I have always liked this song. I give this song a ten out of ten.
