Slayer, Forbidden, Testament, Exodus; just to name the most well-known bands where Paul stood out. A lightning-fast drumming, precise, technically flawless; among my favorite drummers in the Metal scene...FORBIDDEN EVIL... more
Their worst, there's very little to save. Just the ignorant rock of "I Want It All" and the bass solo of "Breakthru." Pretty ugly. 5.5. more
I may be insulted for the rating I gave, but for me the record in question doesn't deserve more than three stars... Syd Barrett may have been a genius, for sure, but the true Pink Floyd, the real masterpieces, would come later... That said, the album is more than good, but it doesn’t make me shout miracle, musically speaking... more

From the symphonic "Ottocento" to the ethnic "Monti di Mola," here is the penultimate album of Faber that encapsulates the lyrical and musical concept of the singer-songwriter (up until that 1990), while freeing the listener from the unpleasant sensation of experiencing the "transition album" effect. Among the gems are the ironic "Don Raffae" and the poignant "La domenica delle salme," the piece that most embodies the "De André style" in the tracklist. more

Slayer close the eighties with a disk that is a perverse, wicked masterpiece. The album opens with the riff of the title track (a boulder-like song that leaves no escape live), featuring more intricate and slowed-down arrangements but always dense with that evilness that is their absolute hallmark. With the subsequent "Silent Scream," unheard-of violence and speed become the stars again: a fray of sounds punctuated by the razor-sharp notes of Kerry and Jeff’s six strings and the drumming of Dave... SPILL THE BLOOD... more

Genius, and one of the most fascinating voices of all time. more
A more than good debut for the Boston band... Glory will come later, but when a record includes tracks like "Dream On" and "Mama Kin," the verdict can only be positive!! more
The fact that a director like him has never won an Oscar speaks volumes about the quality and truth of that award... a visionary director. more

Their album that I feel most connected to. Perhaps it's inferior to "Mask" and definitely to "In the Flat Field," but I can’t deny it the highest rating, especially due to songs like the title track "She's in Parties," the resurrected "Honeymoon Croon," and among those without Murphy, of course, "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight" leading the way, but the album doesn’t have a single bad track. The absence of Murphy for half the album makes it more unique and partly different from their classic records; for me, it's fabulous. A great farewell for Bauhaus. more
More versatile and lighter, less dark and spectral than the debut "Mask," it's a masterpiece of New-Dark-Glam-Wave, with fantastic rhythmic touches of Dub and Ska and a pinch of more danceable Synth-Pop. The dark peaks in the title track and in the incredible and unhealthy "Hollow Hills," but the great tracks are plentiful. "The Man With X-Ray Eyes" is a perfect new-wave piece, then there's "Hair of the Dog," "Passion of Lovers," the super "Kick in the Eye," the electronic and sax touches of "Fear of Fear"… more
He is a genius, period! more
