10 ‘American Idol’ Contestants Who Were Wronged
I think I enjoy complaining about American Idol (2002 – 2016 and 2018 – present) more than watching it. I mean, I was only 3 to 4 years old when the show came out, so I had no idea what the heck was going on. Now that I’m an “adult,” I’ve started to realize how… Continue Reading →

Dreams really do come true! I finally got accepted into the Disney College Program! The craziest thing was that this was my fifth time applying.

Durbin Goes Full Beast Mode on ‘The Beast Awakens’ | Album Review
When James Durbin released The Beast Awakens (2021) back in February, I thought the album was ok, so I didn’t buy a physical copy of it then.

Why Aren’t Artists Releasing Studio Albums As Often Anymore?
Ever since I got into AC/DC, I’ve wondered what would’ve happened if the band released one more studio album with Malcolm Young, founding member and former rhythm guitarist, before he retired? Either between Stiff Upper Lip (2000) and Black Ice (2008), or Black Ice and Rock or Bust (2014)? To be fair, AC/DC are a… Continue Reading →

If you’ve read my review for Whitesnake’s Slip of the Tongue (1989) album, you’d know that I wasn’t pleased with the album. I gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. I thought I was done with Whitesnake for good, but then, I commented my dislike for the album on a Sea of… Continue Reading →
Def Leppard’s “When Love & Hate Collide” – The Demo Version
Every casual Def Leppard fan has heard of “When Love & Hate Collide;” it was featured on the band’s Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980 – 1995) album. The studio version is cool as it’s very stripped down and similar towards the alternative style that Def Leppard was aiming for with Slang (1996). “When Love… Continue Reading →
My Big Rant on ‘The Twilight Saga’
Before we get started, I’d like to point out that this post was inspired by a YouTube video from one of my favorite YouTubers called, “i watched the twilight movies for the first time.” While this person made some very good points on why this film series is trash, there were some points where I… Continue Reading →

Earlier this week, a WordPress friend of mine, Mike Ladano, asked if I could review an EP by a Canadian rock band known as Max the Axe.

Savage’s ‘Loose ‘N Lethal’ Is Rough on the Ears | Album Review
Thanks to Sea of Tranquility, I became fascinated with the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM). Pete Pardo and Martin Popoff shared their top 10 NWOBHM albums and one of the albums mentioned was Savage’s Loose ‘N Lethal (1983).
