Time of Your Life by Green Day #4

While this song is short, it has a good meaning. I think Green Day is basically talking about life in this song. It talks about turning points, a fork stuck in the road, and a lesson learned in time. It talks about having the time of your life. Life may seem like a test at times and you never know what the outcome will be, but its worth all the time that you put into it.
To me this song is saying that life if full of choices and decisions. You'll make good choices and bad choices, but you always learn from your mistakes. Remember all the good times you've had because its all really worth it in the end.

Lyrics- 5 good, clear lyrics but make you think and apply them to your own life
Beat- 4 good beat
Accessibility- 5 lyrics are clear and understandable
Originality- 3 there are a lot of songs that talk about having "the time of your life"
Memorable- 5 the song is short and easy to remember
Replay Ability- 3 the song is short and is easy to memorize..not one i'd play over and over again

Overall- 83%

Gotta Be Somebody by Nickelback #3

This song has a great beat and rhythm, but also has really good lyrics. The song basically talks about how nobody wants to be alone and everyone is looking for that person that they can love with their whole heart and receive the same thing in return. It talks about how there has to be somebody out there for everybody, you just can’t give up looking for that person if you don’t find them right away. And when you do have an opportunity to meet somebody, you should take it because you never know if they are the one. The song repeated talks about having hope that there is somebody out there for you.

To me this song is encouraging. I truly do believe there is somebody out there for everyone; you just have to keep looking. Like the song says, it’s like looking for a diamond in the rough, but you can’t give up. Be open to meeting new people and never get discouraged. There is somebody out there for you; you just have to find them. And when you do, you will truly be happy.

Lyrics-5 I really like these song lyrics

Beat-5 It has a catchy beat.

Accessibility-5 You can understand the lyrics clearly

Originality-5 Nice lyrics and beat, nothing crazy

Alright my turn to take a stab at this song. I believe that Nickelback is trying to get the point across that there is someone for everyone, and how important it is to find that certain someone. This process is hard however, and that you have to keep your eyes open for that certain someone. You will also know when you find that someone that you have been looking for.

I can also relate to this song, because I too am looking for what the song is talking about. However, I do feel like last one there. Sometimes this song just seems like wishful thinking. Everyone does have someone, if they can find them.

Lyrics - 5 Pretty good lyrics, gets the point across

Beat - 4 Good use of the guitar, but would be interesting to hear an acoustic version

Accessibility - 5 Can clearly understand the lyrics and understand the meaning.

Originality - 2 It seems like every other Nickelback song however, beat wise and lyric wise.

Replay Ability - 3 The radio has really killed this song for me, but it is good to listen to it every now and again.

Memorable - 4 The song can get stuck in your head.

Overall - 76% C+

Feeling a Moment by Feeder # 2

This is a very unique song to say the least. It is mixed with some high vocals and rock. "Feeling a Moment" is a very deep song making you really think about the lyrics in the song. Feeder starts the song out by describing how things can be depressing at times, and how things can turn south very quickly. They ask how you feel about certain metaphors in the song. It also makes you look at your decisions that you have made and there consequences. Feeder then reminds you that you are never alone in your journey and that someone is always there for you.

At this certain time in my life I can really relate to this song and it's meaning. Sometimes I can feel entrapped with everything that is going on in my life. Even though I have been patient with certain things, I can feel it slipping away. And not knowing what to do in life. I feel like I can really relate to the choirs in this song. Enough of my blabbering here is the score.

Lyrics - 5 Lyrics are very deep and can be interpreted many ways

Beat - 5 Very unique with the mix of high pitches and rock beat

Accessibility - 5 Can clearly understand the lryics

Originality - 5 Original in beat and lyrics

Memorable - 5 This song can get stuck in your head

Replay Ability - 5 I have played this song over and over again already

Overall - 100% A Highly Recommend This Song

Dedicated by Linkin Park #1

Linkin Park has known for there mix between rap and rock. Dedicated is a more rap type song, almost reminding me of Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor. This song was released on their Linkin Park Underground Vol. 2 and is difficult to find. Anyways on to the review, Linkin Park as most of there songs are about how that anyone can overcome adversity. In this song they are writing about how sometimes life is hard and that dedication can overcome anything as long as change is wanted. This song, to me, makes me feel like that in order to change that hard work is needed and a dedication to the change. To me they get the point across that life is hard and depressing at times, but you have to overcome that.

My Score:

Lyrics - 5

Beat - 5

Accessibility - 5

Originality - 4

Memorable - 5

Replay Ability -5

Overall score - 96% A

First we will write about what we think the artist was trying to write about in the song. Second we will write about what we feel the song means to us. This is in no way a set criteria.

After that take it's score and divide it by 30, and then that is what the grade is. We can also explain why we gave the grade we did.

Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Review

As I awaited for the arrival of this movie, I became more and more anxious for it's release. And who couldn't the way the first movie went and ended, hinting at a sequel. I was actually afraid to go watch this movie, I had such a high expectation from all of the previews and the premise. When it finally opened I was unable to attend the release do to work, but quickly went to see the reviews after work and my biggest fear was realized. It got horrible reviews from critics, but the public gave it a decent review. I read some of them saying how awesome it was or how bad it was. I read how some hardcore Transformer fans were disappointed, and how some parents were furious with the language and humor that was in there. PG-13 der.... NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 13. Hey people, there is a reason movies are rated and explained for stupid people. Well, obviously from what I've read there are a lot of stupid people in the world. Anyways now that I'm done with my rant I will give you my review of this movie. I personally enjoyed this moving. The action is nonstop and the humor is unforgettable. I really don't want to spoil the movie for anyone so I will be as vague as possible. The storyline could have been presented better, I understood where they were wanting to go with it and I was able to fill in the blanks. Character development could have been better presented as well. At the start it is a little fuzzy where they were going, but in the end it came together. Like I said the action is awesome and is worth seeing in the theatre, and also the mom is hilarious. You can see what I mean. As someone just going to this movie to be entertained I give it a 9/10. As someone who would break every little detail down and be ruthless a 8/10. SEE THIS MOVIE.
