Leprous
Norwegian guys playing like gods with a passion for the extreme and the rotten. more
Burzum
He has written some nice albums as well. Clearly, it's not music for everyone, but in moments of sadness and despair, Hvis lyset tar oss and Filosofem could be an enjoyable listen. more
Unanimated
A great band, but if I give them 5 stars, how many should I give Dissection? more
Trivium
Every now and then they come up with something good, but then those annoying choruses start and ruin everything (but to be fair, the scream isn’t that much better, huh...). At least they know how to play, I have to give them that. In any case, I will never buy one of their albums. more
Depeche Mode -Playing The Angel
With Depeche Mode, barring a few rare exceptions, you can be sure: you already know, even before listening to their newly released album, what kind of sounds to expect. A completely pleasant feeling of "familiar newness": a trait that has allowed the band to remain at the top for decades. An album that I find very close in sound to the sacred triad of the nineties; for me, the latest work of Martin, Andy, and Dave that deserves the highest scores...SUFFER WELL... more
The Flying Burrito Brothers -The Gilded Palace of Sin
With the previous "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" by the Byrds, this album represents the cornerstone of country-rock, an excellent work by Parsons/Hillman... more
Gene Clark -White Light
While his old friend/colleague David Crosby was coming out with his gem "If I Could...", another great former Byrds member pulled this true masterpiece of folk/country rock from the hat, an intimate album with great compositional depth. All wonderful tracks, from "The Virgin" to "Because of You," featuring a "Spanish Guitar" that would make Dylan envious and a perfect cover of the same Bob, "Tears of Rage," here in its (perhaps) best version... more
Townes Van Zandt -Delta Momma Blues
Stunning album. Along with the self-titled track and "High, Low and in Between," it definitely represents the peak of his compositional prowess, at least in the studio. Great songs, tinged with that typical melancholy of the Texas artist, above all "Tower Song," immense... more
AA. VV. -Nashville: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
"You may say that I ain't free, but it don't worry me"... 5 for the soundtrack, 25 for the film. One of my favorites, rarely have I seen something so perfect and unique. From the songs of Ronee Blakley in her golden year to those of actors who throw themselves into songwriting with good/excellent results (Karen Black and, of course, Keith Carradine) to the performances of Henry Gibson and Timothy Brown (who sings "Bluebird," also by Blakley). more
Led Zeppelin
Quite overrated, the only album of theirs that I still enjoy listening to today is the 3. more
Rival Sons
These guys are proof that rock is not dead and will NEVER die. more
Steve Morse
Good for goodness' sake, but Blackmore is from another planet... more
Ronee Blakley
Well, I know her self-titled debut from 1972 and it's a nice album, with beautiful songs and a lovely voice. I wonder why, though, when I think of her I imagine her singing "My Idaho Home" to Freddy Krueger, who replies "it Don't Worry Me." Jokes aside, the 5 is for "Nashville" and for the tour with Bob Dylan in '75-'76, definitely her golden two years. more
Incubus
Madonna, I can't take it anymore... a disaster. more
Taylor Swift
the heir of Britney Spears, which says it all.. more
