Nico -Desertshore
Stunning album, a journey that is both eerie and sublime. Rating: 8.5 more
The Replacements -Hootenanny
Disco spppeeettttaaacoolaaare! Yes, rock must be played like this! more
Grateful Dead -Birth of the Dead
The first recordings of the Dead collected on two albums. Not much in the studio, obviously the Live one is quite a bit better. It's interesting to hear the Grateful pre-psychedelic. more
Vomitory
Consistency, this word would be enough to describe Vomitory. A Swedish act active for over two decades, these guys have always stood out for a unique style that has remained unchanged over the years. Fierce death metal, shot out like a speeding train, a respectable discography for an act that deserves much more attention than it gets. more
Vomitory -Terrorize, Brutalize, Sodomize
Yet another full from the Swedish act, yet another undeniable quality hit. Some will say it's always the same old soup, that's true! But these guys keep smashing it, so as far as I'm concerned, they can play the same thing for another 20 years. more
Coldplay -Mylo Xyloto
An ugly album, simply ugly and lacking inspiration. It will be difficult to recover after such mediocrity. more
Marvin Gaye
Great unforgettable voice, the true essence of soul! more
Pier Paolo Pasolini
this pedophile deserved jail, him and those who mindlessly praise him more
Coldplay -Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
Eno feels and feels again. A decisive turning point for a group that was increasingly saturating into a pop that was all the same and not very impactful. With Viva La Vida they made a considerable qualitative leap, which might lead to not appreciating everything that follows.
I like every song and they are innovative (for the POP field). While they may not offer groundbreaking novelties in the history of music, in their genre they were the first to want to completely change face and style... more
Angra -Holy Land
An unintentionally concept album, yet musically and sonically, it showcases every facet of a well-made concept album: Angra delivers their best, with a power/speed metal that is surprisingly refined, infused with Brazilian dance rhythms and sounds that brilliantly blend with the aggressive and effective power sound. An album that deserves at least a listen even from those who don't appreciate the band. A must for anyone wanting to have a clear idea about the group. more
Angra -Temple of Shadows
When one puts in commitment and good creative energy, essential requirements for the creation of a concept album, Angra knows how to work, and thus they manage to present, at last, an album with new, powerful, and fast sounds (power and speed, indeed), melodically effective and sharp riffs. The qualitative leap so long hoped for in Rebirth has finally taken place with this album, which deserves to remain in the top 10 of the best metal albums of all time, in my opinion. more
Coldplay -Mylo Xyloto
After the sound turning point of Viva la Vida, Coldplay had two paths: to dive into good electronic experimentation under Eno's watchful eye, or to insert synths with dreadful and random sounds and propose nonsense in 4/4 from "ignorant disco." The CD isn't bad in itself, because I like certain songs ("Up In Flames" has spectacular sounds and the idea of doing a dub piece is more than excellent and fitting), but the pop shamefulness teeters on the edge of compositional idiocy. more
Birth Of Joy -Make Things Happen - Single
Outdated yet at the same time aggressive and modern sound. A great band that deserves attention and credit. more
System of a Down
recently rediscovered, and found to be truly amazing... and to think that, aside from two songs, I used to hate them...! more
Ridley Scott
He accidentally created two masterpieces and then got everything else wrong. Miraculous. more
The Psychedelic Furs
Talking about New Wave, and perhaps not even having listened to their first two albums...? I strongly advise against it for everyone. "India" is among the 20/25 rock tracks that you can't do without. more
Morbid Angel
Anyone who has a bit of a taste for Death Metal will already know what I'm about to say: undisputed masters, creators of true milestones for nearly two decades, have miserably fallen from grace with their last disastrous work. A shining example of how easy it is to ruin twenty years of career in one fell swoop. The rating is in memory of the good old days, of course. more
The Cure
Without the debut, "Boys Don't Cry," "Seventeen Seconds," "Faith," "Pornography," "The Top," and if you want, let's also include "Disintegration," I might even give less than 5. But given the circumstances, I would say that the maximum is actually too little. more
Paradise Lost -Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us
A huge and (I admit) unexpected comeback from the English band! I thought they had settled at just above passing levels, but this work has rightfully brought them back to Olympus. more
