Papa Roach Where Did the Angels Go? Music Video/ Payphone Review

Leave a comment

by Kelsey Janser

Papa Roach is a hard rock/alternative metal band and the sound of “Where Did the Angels Go” is just what you would expect from this type of artist.  While the chorus is somewhat melodic and memorable, the rest of the song is strident and discordant.  The video that accompanies this song is simply a rock performance with no story line. If you prefer videos that focus only on the band’s performance of their music, then this video is worth watching.  It’s fast cuts and at times blurry shots complement the angry tone of the song and emphasize its raucousness.  

Payphone Review by Max Pawliger

Today, I watched the official music video ‘Payphone’ by Maroon 5. I really like this song, but I don’t care for this video. I don’t get it. There is so much violence in the world today, why would Maroon 5 make such a violent video. Adam Levine is one of my favorites. I am disappointed Maroon 5 would take a great song and put it with a bad video. The premise behind the video is about Adam Levine, a bank employee, impressing his girl by helping her escape a bank robbery. This video has car chases, explosions, gun shots and blood. This song’s lyrics do not have anything to do with a bank robbery, car chases, and shooting. Sorry, Maroon 5, this is not your best! What do you think?

Blame Yourself by Zack Fresh and CyHi the Prynce

I just reviewed the music video Blame Yo Self by Zack Fresh and CyHi the Prynce. I found this song to be a great combination of R&B and moderate Rap. I found that the singer Zach Fresh has a very sultry voice like that of Neyo and Usher. CyHi Prynce has a great sound for rapper, he is not hardcore rap, but just mild enough so that everyone can enjoy it. The message that they are sending about is that you shouldn’t hate regardless of looks, religion, abilities, and or fame. I think that the overall song is amazing and it will appeal to people who enjoy many different music genres.

zydeco bounce

I just reviewed the music video “The Zydeco Bounce”. Zydeco music is a type of music that is a mix between Creole and Cajun music that comes from the bayou of Louisiana. After listening to the song several times, I came away with a very pleased feeling about it.  The same kind of feeling you would get listening to the Cupid Shuffle or the Wobble.  I feel that this song is a great inspiration for Louisiana, in terms of the entire trauma they have been through from Hurricane Katrina. I see it as a great theme song for all of their colleges, Tulane and LSU. I also see it as an amazing wedding party song as the steps are very easy to learn and all of the energy it has. I would give this song a positive review because it is very catchy. My one concern for this artist, TK Soul, is that this song could be a One Hit Wonder. On a whole I enjoyed listening to this song very much.
