It's November 18, 1993, and Nirvana are recording this beautiful Unplugged in New York. The champions of acid rock and uncompromising noise put aside their fury and electricity for one night; the 14 tracks are played with acoustic instruments, resulting in a richness of emotional pathos, a disarming sweetness in execution, harmonious and graceful. "Pennyroyal Tea," my favorite song, where Kurt is alone with his guitar...POLLY... more
Excessive, over-the-top in their look, skilled at replicating the best of Hard Rock and Glam in the early part of their career; not particularly nice either. But unbeatable in their theatrical and spectacular concerts...DETROIT ROCK CITY... more
And should I also define it a work like this? Five stars right away, a cornerstone of post-punk. more
A stunning live album, the culmination of the golden period of the English band... more
Post-punk? Low-fi? A female band definitely ahead of its time and out of the ordinary. I bought the album as soon as it was reissued on CD. And I liked it. more
The fact that this may not be the group's best album is the best proof of how extraordinary SY were. Monumental yet always inspired, masterpieces from start to finish: Teenage Riot, Cross The Breeze, Total Trash, Candle, Trilogy - perfect tracks. Because in the '80s, good music wasn’t made. more
Kill The Poor, Chemical Warfare, California Uber Alles, Stealing People's Mail, Holiday In Cambodia: so many masterpieces from one of the best albums of the punk era: hardcore performed at times more with the interpretative oddity of Pere Ubu than with the screams of anger from their peers, despite the violent political message. more
We could spend hours writing word after word to praise him, and perhaps it still wouldn't be enough!!! GENIUS! more
Chris Barnes has left the band; in his place comes George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, known for a growl singing style that is slightly less dark but still aggressive and lethal. The sonic magma that emerges from the fifth album of the Buffalo band is filled with ferocity and wickedness: they are the masters of Brutal Death Metal, and they reaffirm this once again in the eleven tracks that make up the album. "Devoured By Vermin" opens the collection in a simply devastating way...MONOLITH... more
Artist far too underrated!!! more
Deadly cover, in CARCASS style (morbidly): Ken Owen, smeared in blood, wielding a knife and ready to strike at the unfortunate Bill, Jeff, and Michael lying beneath him in a deadly and icy pose. Then comes the Music: a compilation that summarizes the band's career before the recent reunion. From the cacophonous Grind of their early days, through Death Metal, to the Hard Rock of "Swansong"; with two additional "Peel Sessions" of unprecedented vehemence...FOETICIDE... more
The first three albums represent their best: a gritty and impactful Rock, with the strong personality of Chrissie Hynde calling the shots. The subsequent career path, where the Pop ballads, often too thin and syrupy, unfortunately become a norm...MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... more
Grind played with extreme violence yet with an incredibly elegant style, perhaps the best ever in their genre, extraordinary. more
To define them as "just Folk" is reductive. Lumsk are something much more complex, powerful, and imaginative than one might think...it's a real shame they haven't released any new material since 2007. more
1986: a 25-minute summary of the first 5 years of the Puppets of Meat. more
The debut of the band from the cold and rainy Seattle, northwest America; released by the small label Sub-Pop and recorded on a laughably small budget, just a few hundred dollars. Just as few are the hours available to complete the album; heavy metal, punk, garage, and thick psychedelia come together to create a great record, their best in my opinion. The beginning of a short, meteoric career that will end as we all know... LOVE BUZZ... more
Undoubtedly beautiful, but it is not the masterpiece that everyone believes it to be. "The Wizard" is a gem, and the rest is excellent as well, but both "Salisbury" and "The Magician's Birthday" surpass it significantly. more
Another overrated album from Iron Maiden. For the first time, McBryan sits behind the drums with a more solid and powerful drumming style. The album suffers from an excessive hard rock attitude, at the expense of the magic and power of its adrenaline-fueled predecessor (and also successor). Despite this, the semi-ballad "Revelations" is a true masterpiece. more
