Psychic Ills -Inner Journey Out
Three years after 'One Track Mind', here come the Psychic Ills again. 'Inner Journey Out' (Sacred Bones Records) is an album with a heterogeneous composition. The approach is still mostly derived from Spacemen 3 ('Fade Me Out', 'Back To You', 'Another Change', and the two gospel tracks 'I Don't Mind' and the beautiful 'Coca Cola Blues'), mixed with a certain nihilism and Velvet Underground garage vibes ('Confusion', 'Mixed Up Mind', 'All Alone'). In an album that might seem pretentious, and one of its limitations might be its excessive length, the band also dares to venture into meditative episodes like 'Hazel Green' and 'New Mantra', leading up to the long session of 'Ra Wah Wah'. It's not a masterpiece, but neither is it an album that leaves listeners indifferent, especially those devoted to the cult of psychedelia. more
R.E.M. -Up
This is the first album by R.E.M. after the departure of longtime member Bill Berry, who was mostly replaced during the recording sessions by former Screaming Trees member Barrett Martin, prior to the stable collaboration with Joey Waronker. The production was handled by Pat McCarthy for an album that was considered particularly experimental at the time and received tremendous responses in both the USA and Europe, especially thanks to the undeniable beauty of the first two singles, 'Daysleeper' and 'Lotus.' Overall, it is a successful work and a fundamental one for the Athens band, which found itself at what can be defined as one of the crucial points of its career. With this album, which could be labeled as a breakthrough, they overcame the only major crisis they faced in more than twenty years of career. more
Bring Me the Horizon
Favorite band of pseudo-intellectual cows that think by listening to these posers they automatically become rockers or great connoisseurs (of nothing), shit by the hectolitre. more
Gentle Giant -Octopus
Tentacled music, which twists and changes tempo continuously. EXTRAORDINARY! more
Warren Beatty & Buck Henry -Heaven Can Wait
Ultra-awarded (Oscar for Best Production Design) romantic comedy written, directed (jointly with Buck Henry), and starred by Warren Beatty. I believe that among other things, it is a remake, but after all, this idea has been revisited several times in the cinema world. The plot: Joe Pendleton, an American football champion, finds himself in heaven before his time due to a 'mistake' by what would be his guardian angel. Because of this mix-up, he is given the chance to return to life, but he must do so in a body different from his, which, in the meantime, has been cremated. A brilliant comedy that was a huge success at the time and perhaps still works today despite the passing years and a style that is definitely very much from the seventies. more
Chris Columbus -Harry Potter e la Pietra Filosofale
This is the first and only movie I've seen. I mean, it's decent, but couldn't Rowling have characterized Harry Potter better?? Goodness, it's boring, trivial, and annoying. Thank goodness for Snape, who saves the film. It's a very overrated movie! more
Luciano Cilio
undisputed genius.. more
Vasco Rossi
Duck vomit stench more
Gang of Four
cool as hell more
Litfiba
Great up to "Terremoto", after drifting due to both external factors and a genuine lack of ideas, an excessive pop turn, etc. Pelù has become a caricature of himself to the point of appearing overly ridiculous (his solo work is really terrible), but let's remember albums like "litfiba 3", "desaparecido", and "17 re", amazing stuff for that time (and I’ll add "pirata"). more
Bloc Party
Another band that seemed promising and was played on repeat on flux and other channels for indie snobs who were a bit pretentious has disappeared without leaving a trace. All that remains is a faint memory of the singles "helicopter" and "banquet." more
Deftones
Three killer albums and some live performances for self-gratification, he looks like shit aesthetically speaking but he has an insane energy, he also deserves the project "Palms." more
The Fray
Colitis more
Tame Impala
8000 thousand expectations... it seemed like the hipster revelation of the year... and they churn out an album that sucks big time. more
Lo stato sociale
The scrotal state more
Kraftwerk
Just for a piece like "Autobahn," they deserve a lifetime 10, despite the well-known fact in the music world that something national-socialist was still present. more
Mariah Carey
An entire discography in favor of supermarkets around the world... not bad, huh? more
Amon Düül II
"wolf city" "yeti" "phallus dei" "tanz der lemminge" .. what else? more
Blind Guardian
Ah, those from .Valhalla. A mix between a carnival farce and metal. more
Minutemen
Ugly, dirty, sweaty, out of tune, and wonderful, "Double Nickels on the Dime" still flows great after all this time without ever getting boring. more
