Their music was built on continuous contrasts and different sensations: sound walls of disproportionate size, followed by liquid atmospheric moments with a dark aftertaste, shadowed by stunning allure... An "Oceanic" of emotions crafted in the listening of each track, leading to the final ecstasy... Imposing... more
How I loved Six Feet Under!!! A project born thanks to the voice of Chris Barnes, the first singer of Cannibal Corpse, and the guitar of Allen West from Obituary; their Death Metal was atypical, always rich in groove and mid-tempo that made the sound gloomy and murky, thanks also to Chris's incredibly heavy and oppressive growl... Tombali... more
It was 1979 when the Gang of Four debuted with a work that would mark the beginning of a journey; a short album that assaults you with a sound infused with punk tones immersed in the emerging new wave, featuring that particular funk flavor that gives the album sounds never heard before. The sound is driven by sharp, fractured guitars that carve into the listening experience of a fundamental work for England and beyond; years later, "Damaged Gods" remains a track with a "cutting" sonic impact. more
Even without having read "The Army of Sleepwalkers," for me, it stands among the best in the history of world literature. I've never found anything similar that has come out in the last 100 years or so. more
Even today, every time I listen to the religious cadence of "Venus in Furs," I feel the urge to kneel and thank the V.U. for giving us a record of such magnitude. more

A live that is a great, fucking punch in the stomach. Hard-hitting, distorted, tightly wound, and screamed, it features the most incendiary, superhuman, and insane versions of many classics from the London band, here perhaps at the height of their Live power. "Heaven and Hell," "Young Man Blues," "Magic Bus" (monumental by the way) are worth mentioning, but above all, the incredible 14 minutes of the medley of "My Generation" (the reprises of "Tommy" are played with an unheard-of violence). Indecipherable. more
Alternative metal, nu-metal, post-hardcore, crossover with new wave references; one of the bands that is hardest to categorize. Then one fine day a few years ago I read a definition of them that struck me, and since then I’ve used it to define them: EVOLVED ROCK. I think it's perfect. And what do you think? more
George Ivan Morrison from Belfast, Northern Ireland; we are nearing fifty years of a music career, spanning multiple genres: folk, soft rock, pop, blues, gospel, rock and roll, jazz, etc... etc... Certainly, some off moments can be found in his vast production, but the five stars are a given... Now I'm going to listen to his "Hymns to the Silence." more
Fantastic. Ballads like To love somebody and How deep is your love are unbeatable. Then we have Night Fever and Stayin' Alive and much more. 5 stars and forget about the decline, anyone who gave it a low rating is a piece of SHIT. more
How to drive everyone crazy for an entire summer with just one little song because the girl won't sleep with you anymore... You could have simply told her to fuck off in silence, without ruining our ears! more
I only know "Underground" but damn, how cool is "Underground." A masterpiece of American psychedelia, one of the (thankfully many) great bands of the '60s. more
How the hell did he/she do it? D: more
Whatever others may say, I don’t believe that Ray Davies attempted to imitate the Beatles, especially since his lyrics were much more interesting in my opinion! Legendary Kinks! more
Steve Phillips, Guy Fletcher, and Brendan Croker formed this supergroup in 1990 with only one album to its name. It's called "Missing...Presumed Having A Good Time," which blends country, blues, folk, and tradition through eleven relaxing tracks... I almost forgot the fourth member, Mr. Mark Knopfler. more
Hats off, at 90 years old still giving concerts. LIVING LEGEND more
the first planet of the solar system, it's very hot, extremely hot, but there's ice in the shadowed areas. The oxymoron boiling ice is quite fitting. more
A LEGEND! She, along with her husband, discovered radiation for medical X-rays and was the first woman scientist. more
It finally arrived, after years of fruitless searching; and I listened to it and listened to it again in silence for a long time. And once again it was wonderful to be enveloped by the dreamy, velvety emotional spirals that accompany every new listening of the Machine of God. The beginning of a sound that will grow in level and harmonious power in the two unique albums of Robin's group... That's it, I've concluded, and I am happy... "The desert song" for life... more
One of the essential bands that marked the birth of Death Metal, thanks to albums like "Slowly We Rot," "Cause Of Death," and "The End Complete," where sonic violence was balanced by slower, unhealthy, oppressive tracks. A must-have, a must-listen... from the morgue... more
