an album much criticized for its new metal twist (though I don’t really see much new metal in this album), but even in this context, the band retains the ability to write great songs, certainly more direct and stripped down, but very effective. I love this album, but I’m biased when it comes to Fear! more
very beautiful. I have to say that for several years I've had a love-hate relationship with this album because it’s hard for someone coming from, let’s say, extreme sounds to fully embrace a band that alternates powerful riffs with a "whiny-indie" voice (now I would say in the style of Neil Young). It’s a CD that, despite some tracks driving me crazy from the very start, didn’t quite convince me completely; now it’s different, perhaps not an absolute masterpiece, but a beautiful album! more
At first listens, this CD didn't excite me, perhaps because it feels too decadent compared to the previous albums and serves as a transition; however, in the end, it’s the usual masterpiece from Bowie, just for me, less thrilling than Ziggy or Heroes, to give two examples. more

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist you with that. more
I want to listen to one of their albums just to review them and shit all over them. more
Shall I give you a rose?....I would give him so many, to gently place on the coffin... more
You've said it all. It's unclear where all this conviction comes from, anyway. more
Beautiful voice and an overall pleasant repertoire. The latest album, "Bridge Over Troubled Dreams," is very beautiful. more
Sounds from Middle Earth, on the border between psychedelia (the dreamlike Magic Man, the sinister Cecil Rons) and prog (Where But For Caravan Would I?), following in the wake of the Floyd and early Soft Machine. But rather than sabotaging them, Caravan enhances the melodies by layering vocal harmonies over the sound of the organ, with a precise rhythm section and flute in Love Song With Flute. A Place of My Own and Hello Hello are two excellent singles. The Saharan flavor of Ride justifies the band's name. more
How to throw a great voice to the dogs with questionable musical and stylistic choices. It's really a shame, because she certainly had the grit. more
Would you trade your Caparezza for 3 Cristicchi? Not even if you add some money and/or Den Harrow would I accept! more
The protégés of Tuomas Holopainen. All in all discreet, with a few pieces truly worthy. more
Nice as a nest of cockroaches in the bathroom, useful as an ass without a hole, pleasant as a bucket of vomit.. A hypocritical clown of the worst kind.. more
I also found him quite likable ("the title of the song is Parisienne walkaways because Phil's father is named Paris, so let's say the song isn't really about Paris" - well, thanks for the obvious!...) more
Season 1: beautiful. 2-7 = total, absolute. 8-10 = excellent. 11 = still good. 12-13 = bearable. 14-15 = noticeable decline. 16-20 = goodbye (I didn't even watch the last ones). more
Okay, "catchy riffs, stylistic coherence," but you can only put up with them until the end of adolescence, then ENOUGH. (I don't dislike them, but today I can't stand them.) more
In a car, nothing works better. Especially when a police car with its sirens blaring zooms past you in downtown Milan. more
Hard and pure rock without compromises. It was great while Bon Scott was around, but after Back in Black, they started to get stale. more
Excellent Zappa “easy-listening,” split between dark and gloomy slow blues (the orgasmic The Torture Never Stops, Find Her Finer -with Beefheart’s harmonica-, the title track, and Black Napkins -one of his purest solos-) and heavier pieces like Wind up Workin’…(which kicks off with an “ignorant” riff like the Ramones), Wonderful Wino (another heavy riff by Jeff Simmons), Disco Boy (“It’s Disco Love Tonight!”), and Miss Pinky (a tribute to $69.95 inflatable dolls). more
