The best example of musical quality due to meticulous and deliberate composition. His perfectionism also made him innovative: the "Corale" is a striking example. But apart from the symphonies, the most beautiful moments of his works are actually hidden in his simpler pieces, such as the sonatas for piano and violin, or for string trio and piano. more
Awkward, raw, poetic, dramatic. A concept about the Christianization of peoples seen from the perspective of the Vikings. An excellent blend of black and epic. Pure emotions. "One Road to Asa Bay" is the band's manifesto: a tortured and angry homage to the end of an era... more
What peace... I don’t want to go back anymore... I need this peace... leave me here... in the space... here... watching the world that belongs to me... the world that will soon be a part of me again...
Here I am, back, and already I start to feel restless. I want to immediately return to breathing peace... peace... I need this peace... more
Pleasant album, it blends ambient with calm atmospheres while showing clear references to past albums. Excellent as background music, so it gets more than a passing grade. Of course, it wasn't necessary, but I have a lot of affection for them. 3.5. more
Useful for taking on an alternative vibe while following Sanremo. more
GI is everything, even if Annihilation Man is everything. One record, but among the greatest records in all of hardcore. more
I’m not interested in writing where it was recorded; it’s not necessary to mention the date of its conception; what is fundamental for me about this sonic marvel is the beginning of the album, after the applause from the audience: Jerry starts an acoustic arpeggio of simple craftsmanship and beauty. Then another burst of applause, this time even more intense, and right after that Layne begins to sing... I stop, closing my eyes to meditate, filled with chills and tears... DEVASTATING... more
A beautiful and well-played album, but it's not exciting to me and I find it leans too much towards pop. In any case, Non è Francesca is better than Battisti. Sufficient. more
He was the guitarist of Alice In Chains when Layne was on vocals: that's enough for me for the five stars...HEAVEN BESIDE YOU... more
First album of the new millennium for the Liverpool band; one of the works I appreciate most from a remarkable career. Never before have the sounds expanded so much, with that veil of melancholy always present in tracks where Danny's guitar dominates; in some passages, it’s incredibly easy to compare them to the more "Gilmourian" Pink Floyd, as in the opening pair "Pressure" and especially "Release": and it’s the ending of the latter that ignites with the long guitar solo... UNIQUE... more
An ancient pagan legend of revenge, rooted in the pillars of Norse faith. The eye of Odin, the virtue of Sleipnir, the invisible flight of Huginn and Muninn. The harrowing and cold epic of a retaliation born from the fire cast by the hand of man. A fire that burns the homeland, a fire that devours men and animals, a fire that spreads the acrid scent of blood on the ice... more
Genius music in its simplicity. Creator of the viking and of profound works of significant artistic depth. more
Psycho-fuzz free-form acid trip. It induces dizziness. more
The blues guitars of Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland more
The most complex of the band. The flute parts are less intrusive and more space is given to the saxophone, which adds a touch of jazz to the theatrical atmosphere of this work. more
The most sincere descent into the hell of the Industrial branch. Best piece, Invocation: a grim and symphonic dance with tribal tones. You will be captivated by the darkness. more
if you choose to play along, you might actually have a lot of fun more
Cop Shoot Cop created some of the most unsettling industrial masterpieces of the last decade of the 20th century. more
