The end of Nirvana coincided with the beginning of the Foo Fighters... Dave Grohl had been writing songs for years, but kept them to himself... He recorded the album completely on his own (except for the track X-Static played by Greg Dulli), and only after completing the recordings did he seek out members for the band... The best work would come later, but the album is very good and is a pleasure to listen to... more
Born in England but raised in faraway Australia; leader, singer, and bassist of the Church. A refined, elegant voice capable of adding depth to the visionary and dreamy Psychedelic Rock of his band...THE BLURRED CRUSADE... more
It looks promising, let's hope it holds up. more
He has also made some objectively bad records; all it would have taken for me to see him as what he is—a genius—would be the realization of "Highway 61 Revisited," "Blood On The Tracks," "Desire," "Infidels," and "Oh Mercy." Period. more
The last truly beautiful album before the plastic 80s. Tight, rock, and unembellished. Then there's "Don't Stop me Now." Cool. 7.5-8. more
In Celentano coexist two faces held together by a proverbial egocentrism; on one hand, a great singer who has performed memorable songs, and on the other, an unbearable billionaire moralist, a living symbol of the radical chic, a pathetic preacher who, from his sumptuous residence, preaches the return of the world to agricultural nature while raking in considerable money from Sanremo to rant against progress. more
The weakest album of the Bon era, without a doubt... However, the title track is one of the best songs they have ever written... "Ride On" is also beautiful... more
A piano bar. A venue with dim lights. A door closes. A glass with a single drop of whisky inside. And then...the city. The city just dampened by the rain. The faint light of the street lamps reflecting on the wet asphalt. A solitary man walks along a sidewalk that is lonelier than he is. Hat on his head, hands in his pockets, a coat wrapped around him. Only him and the city. Him, in all his refined intimacy...in all his poignant solitude... more
ARTette in its most sublime expression... more
Lydia Lunch likes to have a good time, we get that. more
How long does it take to re-ban this inconceivable jerk? more
The latest masterpiece from the greatest band in history... Extraordinary tracks and a beautiful cover... "Over The Hills And Far Away" and "No Quarter" are timeless pieces... more
Damn it!!! I only realize today that I haven't collected this DVD released by the nice "cazzari" led by cousin Les. A concert recorded in the summer of 2004 that features PRIMUS playing, wonderfully, two distinct sets. The first part showcases tracks pulled from various points in their discography; and the second part sees the faithful and complete re-creation of their first album "Frizzle Fry." Fun, precision, technique: the best of the best. more
A gem of badass black music. Creativity in spades here. more
Humble and sincere. A singer-songwriter who has always limited himself to performing (excellently) his role, never descending into exhibitionism, and never being greedy for popularity. The worst of his songs would be able to diminish a good chunk of today’s musical landscape... more
Discredited at the time of its release and later re-evaluated, this album bursts into the listener's eardrums with all its poetic sincerity: the adventurous "Il canto delle sirene," the poignant "Pilota di guerra" and "Mimi sarà," the bittersweet "I matti," and the folkloric "Vecchia valigia," all stand out as high examples of modern songwriting. Worth exploring! more
...and the final Viking whimper of Thomas Forberg still convinces. Snow-covered mountains and frigid seas once again freeze the listener's heart...for the last time... more
made of the same substance as my feces more
The Nordic atmospheres of "Blood On Ice" blend with the unspoiled ones of "Twilight of the Gods." The sounds are raw, thunderous, explosive, and the pace is calm and evocative. A timeless sound fresco that beautifully concludes one of the most incredible discographic epics that metal has ever known. more
