Scratch Acid
No definition for one of the biggest bands of the '80s and beyond? HUGE. 2 EPs one cooler than the other and an equally great album. David Yow is my favorite vocalist. He can’t hit a note, he screams, he vomits, he drinks like four alcoholics combined, there isn’t an album up to DOWN by the Jesus Lizard that he recorded sober, and yet he gives me chills. Rarely has the Blues been made so filthy, bastard-like, and punk. more
King Crimson
I bow to you, my King. more
Ian Anderson -Walk Into Light
When electronics do not compromise quality and interpretation: Mr. Flauto and the little magician Peter John Vettese have briefly been a brilliant duo, the tracks flow rich with passion, warming the synthetic musical ideas, and there’s plenty to go around. To be listened to without any prejudice. more
Free -Fire And Water
Many know of the existence of Free solo thanks to 'All Right Now'. They have made better songs in my opinion. 'Oh I Wept' is one of those. more

So much stuff. more
Dream Theater -A Dramatic Turn of Events
First album with Mike Mangini on drums, definitely at a much higher creative level than recent albums, although the production in terms of drumming isn't up to par and there's an excessive self-referentiality. more
Dream Theater -Black Clouds And Silver Linings
It includes two excellent suites and a commendable ballad that are worth the price of the album, but also some rather uninteresting and often forced tracks. more
Dream Theater -Systematic Chaos
An album that has made many frown and that indeed suffers on average from excessive redundancy and entire sections that are totally useless and uninteresting, as well as some of the worst tracks in the career of Dream Theater. more
Dream Theater -Octavarium
An unusual type of concept album based on numerology and musical harmony, it features as its title track the group's most prestigious suite and a wide variety of rather well-crafted pieces. more
Dream Theater -Train of thought
Terrifyingly technical and heavy album, it clearly carves out the characteristics of the band's heavy sound but suffers from excessive uniformity and a virtuosity that is often self-serving and not particularly tasteful. more
Dream Theater -Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Two albums: the first marks the peaks of theater experimentalism (never reached again at these levels), the second composed of their longest suite (42 minutes), featuring wide and orchestral sonorities and an interesting underlying theme. more
Dream Theater -Metropolis, Part 2: Scenes From a Memory
First album with Jordan Rudess on keyboards, who definitely makes his presence felt. Despite a questionable distribution of heavier and lighter pieces, it remains perhaps the most valuable work of Dream Theater. more
Dream Theater -Falling Into Infinity
Alongside excellent inspired pieces that are also different from the past, we find intrusions of poor taste and pieces that have been raped by the producer. more
Dream Theater -A Change Of Seasons
A wonderful suite and then four useless covers, which are rather long on average and not recorded wonderfully, certainly not from the most favorable tour of the American band's career. Buy it only for the suite, but it has little value as an album/EP in itself. more
Dream Theater -Awake
Heavier and darker than its predecessor, with keyboards much more in the background, it indeed marks the last collaboration with keyboardist Kevin Moore. more
Dream Theater -Images And Words
An album generally regarded as a milestone in prog metal, rich in genuine sounds and tracks that will set a standard, which makes one overlook the mediocre production. more
