People In Glass Houses... "Stones" by. Manafest Album and Track Review Hello readers! Let's take a look at the artist up for review this weeks blog/video. Chris Greenwood operating under the stage name "Manafest" . This is a Christian hip-hop, rap-rock, hard rock, and alternative rock act. And yes, he has done an entire album in each different genre, and mixed a couple of them together on quite of few songs. So he has a lot to work with when approaching a new album, there are a lot of tools and things he has learned from each project. With "Stones" being his ninth album. Let's get down to the review, I have the best of expectations for this album. Unlike the new "Reputation" album from Taylor Swift, which I will be featuring next week. Keep an eye out for it. "Stones" A Brief Album Breakdown 1. Stones: The title track off of this album, also the one that I will be digging into deeper down below. So get down to...

Wait, Taylor Swift? Am I really doing this again? Call It What You Want by. Taylor Swift Review Here we go again. I am reviewing another Taylor Swift song. For the second week in a row.

What is it with you and the never ending saga of trashing those who rub you the wrong way. Even in the slightest.  "My castle crumbled overnight. I brought a knife into a gunfight. They took my crown, but it's alright"  Ah yes, your never ending beef with Kanye West. Will you ever stop using that in this album? But I do have to give h...

Now Look What You Made Me Do! Ready For It by. Taylor Swift Review Are you ready for it? I think I am. This week I am going to be tackling the latest single by the giant known as Taylor Swift. You know. The woman you don't want to "offend" , date, or make "angry" , lest you feel the wrath of her "song writing" skills. If you could call it that. Seriously, this woman hardly can keep any personal matters to herself. Just take a look at Katy Perry , Kanye West , or any insert celebrity here that has crossed her path the "wrong" way. I mean, I wouldn't even want to be a janitor for her. Because one wrong toothbrush out of place and I could end up being her next hit single.  Taylor isn't stopping at ex-lovers though. As this song suggests, it may be inspired by her current boyfriend "Joe Alwyn". If that is so, then what's up "New" Taylor Swift? How are you doing? Oh, wait, you're still the same. No ma...
