Intriguing, profound, and kaleidoscopically exciting. more
He conveyed the limits, contradictions, and hypocrisies of adults through the eyes of a child. At least three masterpieces (Edward Scissorhands - Nightmare Before Christmas - Big Fish), some missteps, and stylistic exercises. After so many years, the weight of his most substantial works still outweighs everything else. more
The umpteenth rocker who plundered the music of black artists during the '60s. And over time, hundreds of more technically proficient guitarists, like Petrucci or the one from Mars Volta, have emerged. more
"If I can't be my own
I'd feel better Dead" more
Yes, it’s inferior to Dirt and "Alice in Chains"... but I really like it a lot!!! It deserves much (I mean much, at least 3 times) more consideration... in my humble opinion!!! more
Well, I don't give a rating because I've been listening to it since I was little and so I would be biased, but I only know that this album brings back a lot of nice memories. more
Their masterpiece: pure metal adrenaline! more
30 just for not having a title.... more
Influenced by a triumvirate of sacred monsters like Dylan/Young/Stevens, he has given life to his refined and intense musical proposal, which persists in this album: yet another hit for a champion of New York songwriting. more
26/30 very good. more
30/30! more
a concentration of nightmares and visions, grafted onto complex and unpredictable arrangements more
stuff for second-year kindergarten kids more
Double album, over two hours of music and not a single cover that comes even close to the original. I don't know what they were hoping to achieve, but the burps and the nonsense they say into the microphone between songs are just so endearing, making it clear that they are passionate big kids. more
The best singer-songwriter of all time. Period. more
Legend! Black/doom metal ante-litteram since the '70s, the so-called "horror metal," which also anticipates the visual-musical formula that the more famous Mercyful Fate would adopt a few years later. Essential is the lineup with guitarist Paul Chain (1977-1984), and the subsequent (master)works up to "Panic" are very solid. A demonstration that innovative proposals do not only come from abroad. more
their debut album is my absolute favorite punk '77 record...screw the Sex Pistols, Ramones, and the like. more
A rounded 5. For me, just a tad below "Quadrophenia" and "Who's Next"... more
