IV

Have you been hearing there singles leading up to their new CD? They are completely awful and plain wrong. Ew. I don't understand how they could go from a song with so much meaning like "If Everyone Cared" to "Something in your Mouth." Honestly, Nickelback please go back to what you're good at. It's sad that people feel the music needs to have an explicit label on the cover in order for it to sell. I'm not expecting greatness from their new CD at all. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong but I am just so mad that this is what they have settled for. Their voices sounds like crap and the music in the background overrides their voices. In conclusion, I don't like it. However I like the cover of the new cd that comes out on November 18th:Here are the cd's track names:
  1. Something in your mouth (Awful song, don't ever listen to it)
  2. Burn it to the ground
  3. Gotta be somebody (alright, coulda been better, kinda similar to their old stuff)
  4. I'll come for you
  5. Next go round
  6. Just to get high
  7. Never gonna be alone
  8. Shakin' hands
  9. If today was your last day
  10. s.e.x.
  11. This afternoon
  12. Soundcheck (bonus track)
Now, let's move on to something better. John Legend and his buttery voice!Track Reviews:
  1. Good Morning Intro (it's an intro, moving on!)
  2. Green Light ft. Andre 3000 (I really like this one, especially the video! Definitely a good one)
  3. It's over ft. Kanye West (on Itunes this is album only and I really like the whole album so I would buy it all if I were you! This is a really good one too, I'm just surprised that because Kanye West is on it you have to buy the whole CD. I'm pretty sure it will turn into a single.)
  4. Everybody Knows (I LOVE this song! OMG! It's so, so good! I definitley suggest buying this. I love the lyrics, sound, and overall feel of the song so get it!)
  5. Quickly (This song has an older feel to it like some of his other songs but still very good. A little slow for my taste but good none the less)
  6. Cross the Line (His voice is especially smooth in this one, it could get boring very easily if you listen to it too often though.)
  7. No Other Love ft. Estelle (This would be very good if Estelle wasn't in it =) I don't like Estelle's voice for this song because it is more suited to songs such as "American Boy.")
  8. This Time (This is a sadder song. The first time I heard it, a wave of sadness shot through me. Ugh. But I really like it if I'm in that mood.)
  9. Satisfaction (This is kinda different sounding but in a good way. That's all I'm sayin.)
  10. Take me Away (Yawn.... I'm bored. Too similar to his other stuff. I like VaRiEtY.)
  11. Good Morning (O, this is a pretty good song. His voice sounds especially good in the chorus part.)
  12. I Love, You Love (Too high pitched for part of it. Knock it off, you're not a girl.)
  13. If You're Out There (I really like these lyrics. They are very sweet.)
  14. Floating Away (This is album only. I wish it wasn't cause it's really good, it makes you float away =))
  15. Set Me Free (It's too slow for me. It deserves to be album only.)
  16. Green Light; Afroganic Mix (Not as good as original but nice bob marley kinda feel.)
Wow, that took a long time to review so hopefully that helps.
Now I'd like to talk about Taylor Swift and all of her new singles that are popping up everywhere. Let me make a list for you: Love Story, Fearless, You're Not Sorry, You Belong With Me, and Change. Now, yes she does have some good lyrics and such in there but here voice does not change much at all. They bore me to tears. I'm sick of people thinking she's an amazing singer when she is really just a one-trick pony. Get over it!
Also something I really don't like is the new-ish song by Akon called "Right Now (Na Na Na)." NO, NO, NO!! I hate it. The lyrics suck. Akon's sound is the same as most of his other music. I can't stand hearing it on the radio but then again I rarely listen to the radio so that doesn't matter much for myself. It will get old fast. It's just another single with absolutely no meaning behind it that will get thrown in the past and forgotten.
I'm liking Kanye West's new style with "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless." Even though the love lockdown video is weird and shouldn't be watched cause it's random and not too good. Heartless is already number one on Itunes and it kinda deserves to be there. They are good ones but I'm already sick of love lockdown, at least for now.
M.I.A. has some new songs out now too in her How Many Votes Fix Mix-EP where she adds Jay-Z to her original song "Boyz" and then "Shells" and "Far Far". All very good. But if the only song you liked off her CD Kala was Paper Planes then most likely you'll need a very open mind. However, I love it all and I think people should listen to it right now! Right now? Right now!
Here's Lady GaGa's The Fame Review:

So I'm not going to write this one cause I have no energy for that so I'll just copy and paste the review from Itunes. hehe. Okay crap, apparently you can't copy stuff off of Itunes and I'm not taking my time to type all of that so go look if you want. Anyways, the best songs off of here include; Just Dance, LoveGame, Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say), Boys Boys Boys, and Paper Gangsta, and Beautiful, Dirty, Rich. All are kinda Disco-style-ish. Some say Gwen Stefani but I like Lady GaGa a little better but not sure yet!
Ok Now for Hinder's new CD review: Take It To The Limit:The average Itunes rating was 4 stars. It really took them a while to get this new CD out but anyways it's out now! Favorites off of this CD include: Loaded and Alone, Without You, and Thing for You. Actually, every song on here is pretty good and very rock. I'm very happy with this compared to Nickelback's new crap.
Finally, I'd like to say buy the Twilight Soundtrack and don't forget it comes out on November 21st!!! It is the best things ever so don't forget it!! Twilight is love. Twilight is God's gift to man and I don't lie.
