Weidroje is the flying saucer with which the mutineers of Commander Vander escaped from the mother ship. A fantastic disc even if the audio quality is not top-notch. If it were branded Magma, it would be one of their best albums. And that says a lot. more
The first real record by the Irish. More compact songwriting, less derivative and confusing. There are true standout tracks like "The Hero And The Madman," "Slow Blues," the title track, and "The Rocker," featuring an extraordinary guitar solo by Eric Bell. The best of their early career, even if it's not a complete masterpiece. (8) more
Superior to the previous one, but with some of the same flaws. Very bluesy and not very hard 'n' heavy. Enjoyable. (6.5) more
A rather confusing album, where I never quite understood where Lynott wanted to go with it. Not exactly trash, but the ideas are all just sketched out and need development. (5.5) more
Old school death metal. The voice of an entire genre. more
I'm surprised that there are people who say "I won't pay the fee gne gne! There are certainly assholes on TV" and then are willing to spend 30 euros a month for some private television offer. more
Never a wrong move! more

November 1986: the first work by Sepultura on long distance is released. A production and recording quality that is dismal ruin an already crude and rough album; and it's a shame because the four very young guys, Igor has just turned 16 and the others are just a bit older, propose a Thrash-Death played without any technique, at a speed that is simply insane. The beginning of a climb toward the peaks of Heavy Music… CRUCIFIXION… more
Steven John Wilson, recently turned 47; in his thirty-year musical career, engaged in an endless number of projects, he has released around forty albums!! And I would like to emphasize his always calm, reserved demeanor: he speaks with his wonderful Music...COMA DIVINE... more
Mystical and powerful monolith of heavy-doom metal. Completes the quadrilogy of the "fantastic four." From here on, they will never be the same again (a bit like what happened to Manowar or Metallica, to be clear). more
Inferior to the debut, superior to Nightfall. Dark, fascinating, and arcane... more
Depression. Listening not recommended if you're hosting a party at home: it would be a bloodbath. Cut veins, slit throats, drownings with heads submerged in the sink... more
Don't like prog? Well, this band might make you change your mind... more
The turning point album for Aretha, simply one of the greatest Soul-R&B records ever conceived. Her renditions of Redding's "Respect" and Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come" are sublime, the latter so beautiful and intense that it sends chills with every listen; then there's the rest of the album, with Franklin co-writing as many as 4 songs. A masterpiece. more
Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars, sorry Roger... more
The time for the Beatles' most bizarre and "daring" moments hasn't arrived yet, but Revolver contains some of their best songs: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Good Day Sunshine, For No One. more
The pages of resistance are honored in this sublime folk-prog, a cornerstone of rock in opposition. Great emotions, especially in Stalingrado and Dante by Nanni. more
Do I also have to describe it? It’s a spectacular album; the first time I listened to it, I was completely enchanted by its amazing sounds and wonderful rhythms. It’s an absolute must! more
A challenging task awaits the band: to deliver a worthy follow-up to the impetuous and violent albums "Arise" and "Beneath The Remains". From my perspective, the result is the Brazilian group's third masterpiece; we are still in the realm of imposing Thrash Metal, with the added element of a greater sonic exploration. Tracks that are more measured, with a slowed-down pace, yet without losing the auditory ferocity that Max's voice amplifies...WAR FOR TERRITORY... more
