Of course, they have nothing to envy anyone! more
My favorite drummer in the realm of "Classic Rock." And he collaborated with Les Claypool in that acrobatic Fusion project that was Oysterhead. Not to mention his fundamental contribution to the unique sonic balance in that other very important band he played in. There's no need to even write its name... CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU... more
It wasn't easy for me to understand and appreciate the band's fourth album, the first composed without Cliff Burton; once I got past the initial difficulties, partly due to the endless length of some tracks, it became one of my favorite albums from the entire Thrash scene of the eighties. It's the relentless fury of "Blackened," wisely placed to kick off the collection, that sets the coordinates for a compact work, with guitar riffs that never seem to end...ONE... more
when dark and melancholic music is taken to the extreme gothic consequences. neoclassical and baroque atmospheres with a spectral and whispered voice. more
anime punk playing some really exciting folk rock and the singer Shane McGowan is a fucking front-man. IDOLS more
acoustic folk rustic and minimal contaminated by psychedelic and Eastern spirits. A blend of styles and influences, this album is a masterpiece. more

How do you say "schizophrenia" in French? "Schizophrénie"? No, "Pryapisme"! more

bassist and singer in Aphrodite's Child, a great prog band with the legendary Vangelis, then he embarked on a solo career with questionable pop songs, but his voice is beyond discussion! RIP more
First album of the Hair-Metal group from the Los Angeles scene, it's a good record that recalls the American glam scene mixed with American punk, but after that, nothing. more
The fourth album was conceived and recorded under a diabolical aura in a villa that belonged to a satanist whom Jimmi Page idolized. Immersed in that diabolical atmosphere, they delivered their most cohesive masterpiece. more
Unfortunately, before recording it in an accident, the drummer and Richard Thompson's girlfriend died, but the producer brought them together in a desolate villa and they churned out this masterpiece, a cornerstone of English folk rock. IMMENSE! more
The beginning of a musical journey that will lead the band to release a sequence of masterpiece albums until 1988; a work recorded hastily, with just a few thousand dollars to rely on. I've always seen it as the "amateur" record of Metallica, precisely because of the spartan recordings and a sound that comes across as raw and devoid of technicalities. An Heavy-Thrash Metal played without any brakes by young lads ready to conquer the world... SEEK & DESTROY... more
Review pieces by Cream, Derek & The Dominos, and Clapton solo. more
Sweet son of time, you will see the line
The line that separates good from evil
You will see the blind man shooting at the world
Flying bullets collecting tolls
If you've been bad, oh Lord, I bet you have,
and if you’ve been hit by flying lead
You’d better close your eyes, bow your head
And wait for the bullet's rebound... more
When you need to unwind and relax a bit, there isn't a record in the world better than this one for that.... Best listened to lying on the couch, with the vinyl (or CD) held close to your chest! more
