It looks really good! I really like the characters you've used at the top, although the site title could stand to be emphasized a little more. That background is pretty neat too.
I can only see some minor details that need to be fixed up - like move your text away from the left edge of the table there in the content area. Do something with thhe bottom part - those corners should probably show curved like the top part.
And you definitely need more content! It seems like there are a lot of lyrics sites out there - I remember seeing at least two othes posted here at TWF and obviously there would be many more out there. You're going to have to provide a lot of content to stand out... maybe it would be easier to focus on a certain genre.

Nice!
I agree that the logo/site name should stand out more but overall I really like the look of the site. The bottom does look a little odd though and definietely move the text over a bit. Did you do the characters yourself?

Looking good....
Like said above...move the text away from the side of the table and make the "lyrics & Tabs" thing stand out more.
What are Tabs?

Very nice design!
I'll remember to bookmark this because I'm always looking for lyrics and tabs.
Tabs are, to my understanding, instrument specific musical notes... For example, I play the bass guitar, so bass tabs for a 4-string bass have 4 lines and then the finger number on them.
IE:
I'm really looking forward to this site, looks great.
You need more lyrics, more tabs, and darken the title, its hard to read the "Tabs" part.
A review and a lesson in music all in one!
Just one question... are you focusing on one type of music or all kinds?
My last point: Placing tabs, lyrics, etc up there could be a copyright infringement... You might want to check with other sites such as basstabarchive.com and see how they avoid that legal battle...
Good luck!

The background on the top banner should be transparent, viewing on different browsers gives a different affect as they all line up differently, some overlap, some are cut off .. also check your background image, the 4 corners are faded making gaps where it lines up on your page
in NS 4.7 there is a line in your vertical lines between the titles 'bring me down' and 'she hates me', Its ok in NS 6 as the border line doesnt appear at all, its there and ok in IE 5

nice looking site, as others have stated.
might want to clarify the "Date" that is listed with lyric listings. if i went to a lyric website, i would assume that "Date" meant date of song publication, not date the lyrics were added to the site. (just my opinion)
i went to some of the linkin park lyrics, and the links at the right don't seem to work. are those a "coming feature" or something?
overall a nice site. if you are planning on getting 10000000000 lyrics, you might want to add in a way for people to submit new lyrics, or create an app that will rip the lyrics from other sites and throw them into your database (not that hard to do in coldfusion, not sure what software you are using..).
