Small Faces
"Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" their masterpiece and Marriott was a great talent. more
Lou Reed -Metal Machine Music
The intent was probably a mix between messing around, serious boycotting, and ribbing. The result is a contemporary work of art, nothing more, nothing less. The first experiment of this kind within "commercial" music, outside of the avant-gardes. Unlistenable, thus perfect. If you like it, there's something wrong with you. No point in going on about it too much: it's a record of pure noise. more
The Answer
Pure nonsense until around 2009, then too many idiots started to take themselves too seriously, believing they were gurus because of the points and the ridiculous orange badges. Hilarious categories like Religion and Spirituality, Gender Studies, Adolescence. Sometimes even Rock and Pop. more
Yes
I am not a fan of progressive by nature. For me, rock should be dirty and rebellious—a punch in the face, basically. But what these gentlemen have created in the album "Close to the Edge" is INCREDIBLE: a cascade of emotions every time; incredible virtuosities that are never self-serving; inspiration and creativity at levels that are never again even close to attainable. Therefore, hats off to that lineup from '72. more
Tom Waits -Bone Machine
There would be many things to say about this album, but I'll keep it simple with a trivial "absolute masterpiece" that, in my opinion, captures the essence. Among the 16 songs, not a single flaw, but two in particular drive me wild: "Black Wings" and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up." more
The Who -Who's Next
The best love songs album of all time? "Unassailable masterpiece (cit. pataprot)" more
The Answer
Bah... more
Jamiroquai
Monotonous, repetitive. A couple of well-fired cartridges then nothing. Only his bassist is worth mentioning. more
Jim Hall
Hats off. more
Joe Lovano
A Sax with a capital S. more
Graveyard
One of the best "retro-rock" bands on an international level. more
Belen
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a branch of surgery aimed at correcting and repairing morphological-functional defects or losses of substance in various tissues. "Alloplastic" materials (or implants) are aids of non-biological or biologically synthesized origin, used for various purposes, typically for filling or correcting congenital or acquired deformities. more
Ministry -The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste
One word: holy shit! Perhaps the absolute zenith of Uncle AL's alien project. Deadly. more
Kanye West
Have you heard the one about the gay fish yet? more
Alice Cooper -School's Out
What a piece it is, "Blue Turk"...? more
Eric Clapton -August
With the complicity of Phil Collins, the manifesto of an artist past their prime, desperately searching for credibility with a glossy, faux-blues formula for yuppies. Nothing is saved. Sakamoto should have demanded compensation for the cover of "Behind The Mask," just like Robert Cray for "Bad Influence." more
Wo Fat
Regarding NON-genres: Stoner. Unlike doom, which is a musical style, stoner originated as a sonic approach that later became a stylistic one. For example, the Wo Fat have candidly admitted to playing "stoner" and being inspired by a "stoner" band like Fu Manchu. Essentially, they didn’t go back to the source; they went straight to the water bottle factory. Like them, many others. more
Emmanuela Marrone
I summon her every day when I sit on the toilet... more
Salmo
Recently, for reasons that are hard to grasp even before they can be explained, I heard in the background a good selection of his so-called production. I seriously don’t understand how some people can speak of it positively. more
