When I was a teenager, when they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say a lap dance dancer, and I already knew that one of the albums that would accompany my performances would definitely be this one. Unfortunately, capitalism chose other paths, but this remains a fucking album of sex, drugs, lap dance, and rock and roll. more

The magnificent Kaleidoscope, after their psych debut, shift towards a delicate and dreamy folk under the name of Fairfield Parlour. Fairy-tale atmospheres, psychedelic echoes, refined folk. Excellent album. more
What was supposed to represent the album of consecration for Virgin Steele becomes the point that could have led them to dissolution. The record label under which Age Of Consent was released went bankrupt shortly after its release, the tour was canceled, and for almost 5 years the VS monicker seemed to have vanished. However, this does not detract from the greatness of the pieces and the compositional artistic maturity reached by Defeis and Pursino, of which The Burning Of Rome (Cry For Pompeii) is the best example. Also worth mentioning is the power of songs like Let It Roar and the fantastic Lion In Winter, or the dramatic Tragedy and Cry Forever. A must-have for fans of the Epic genre, and essential for understanding the path of Virgin Steele as a turning point. more
Good job, energetic and lively, with an effective structure. For me, however, it's not a masterpiece, unlike the following one. more
the most beautiful in the realm (luludia) more
"Between me and the buried" are fucking monsters of prog-metal. more
almost shameful the sound, the first part KC ends in an inglorious way. more
They invented the sounds of Hard Rock. more
Of course, after playing with the God Jimi, everything else is boring, but Redding forms a great band, nothing to tear your hair out about, but it's an excellent album... more
all infinity... ends here... and we let ourselves be carried away by a wonderful sax solo more
Amazing more
Bob Dylan's return to acoustic music, but with greater musical refinement compared to his early days. Notably, it was released simultaneously with Leonard Cohen's first album (December 27, 1967). more
Taken as a joke, after a few listens I included it in my list of favorite records. more
acoustic and essential, a great album that is definitely against the tide in '68 America more
stories of daily life, like little snapshots of what can happen in any building in any city more
It's been half a century since this album was released. And the emotions are still the same. more
One third rock, one third classical, one third jazz. One of the few who can keep a foot in three different shoes. more
The first eight albums (up to the '86 live one included) are absolutely amazing, guaranteeing them a 5 for life. But for the highest score, just "Thunder Road" would be enough, the classic song that’s worth a career. I won't add that "live it's a beast" because it's already a cliché (but how true it is!) more
