Kyuss welcomes us into their world; and they do so with an album that takes to extremes the conversation started with their previous work. A wall of guitar that has become even denser, more subdued, exploding right from the outset in the apocalyptic "Gardenia," a track with colossal movements: a long heavy-fuzz-psychedelic journey that is replicated by the subsequent "Asteroid"; we finally breathe with the evocative and mystical "Space Cadet," featuring unexpected, deep melodic openings...MOTHERFUCKER.. more
Not giving the best to Mina means intellectual dishonesty. One of the most extraordinary voices of all time and across all latitudes, I say, on a global level. However, she has never moved me unlike MIA MARTINI. more
Objectively, it would be more of a 4 than a 5, but I absolutely love this album. An unripe yet tremendously captivating John Martyn; the arrangements enriched by Harold McNair's flute "embroider" beautiful melodies in the best tracks of the album like "Fly on Home" and especially "The Gardeners," where Martyn's voice confirms itself as one of my all-time favorites. There’s also room for his skill with the acoustic guitar, especially, but not only, in "Day at the Sea" and "Seven Black Roses." Beautiful. more
They toured Europe for ten years, and beyond, in rickety vans; they have relentlessly pursued their hardcore style without any compromise. Always in the front line, always ready to fight, sweat, play... WITHOUT ANY COMPARISON... more

Sorry, but at least compared to the pop punk-emo-metal junk that was around back then (early 2000s), aren’t they at least a three? more

Unwitting creator of a genre. Dreaming founder of Myths. A modern Plato. more

It doesn't compare to albums like The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here; perhaps it's a bit too slow (a few tracks aside), it doesn't fully convince me. more
A great project initiated in the early nineties by Stone Gossard, the guitarist of Pearl Jam. Five albums released, all sharing a common denominator of light, soft, melancholic Rock, thanks to the voice of Shawn Smith: warm, soulful, piercing...SHAME... more
After giving voice to the nascent Napalm Death, Lee Dorrian leaves the band and the Grindcore sound. He shapes a new musical creature that moves towards territories opposite to the sonic extremism and the fast execution of his first band. The reference can only be the Sacred march of the Black Sabbath, interpreted in an even slower, obsessive, oppressive manner. Cathedral are born, and this is their first album: "Forest Of Equilibrium"...THE DOOM VERB... more
Fundamental..."Wolverine Blues" and especially "left hand path" are works that are too important for the genre. more

Fierce music. more
Just Lemmy is enough to define them as immortal! Pure raw rock'n'roll, sharp and flashy! LEGENDS! more
The true turning point album for the Beatles: the first to be conceived as a work of art rather than a collection of songs (hits and not), the first for which the recording studio becomes essential for the sounds, the first in which their beat is corrupted by the early psychedelic atmospheres and sounds (later explored in the subsequent "Revolver") already hinted at by the cover (the writing and the "deformed" faces from an "odd" angle). more
