Still spot on, still an excellent heavy/thrash record. It’s always a pleasure to listen to it again, even if it’s not the peak of Testament's compositional prowess. "The Legacy" is one of their best tracks ever. (7.5) more
After the mediocre previous album, in the height of '77, Ian Anderson and his Jethro Tull come out with a true masterpiece; they shift direction once again, emphasizing the electro-acoustic Folk vein of the band and placing it at the center of their compositions. Thus, we find songs with new life, arranged splendidly, once again vibrant, emotional, alive, after the lifeless Too Old... A masterpiece of acoustic British Folk with sublime bursts of electricity. One of their best records. more

I like to remember him for the furious brawl in August 1983, where he sustained serious head injuries and underwent delicate brain surgery. He recovered, and the Ramones' album the following year was titled "Too Tough To Die": Troppo Duro Per Morire... MAMA'S BOY... more
"It's great to be back in Barcelona tonight" is Joey's shout to greet the audience; right after, C.J. quickly counts out the famous "one-two-three-four" and the notes of the immortal anthem "BLITZKTIEG BOP" kick in. Over thirty songs in just over an hour to once again affirm the greatness and uniqueness of a band that has made live performance its ultimate creed! I will never tire of listening to, loving, and praising the punk brothers...I (don't) WANNA BE SEDATED. more
It promises very well… we’ll see what it will come up with in the future. more
First love is never forgotten. more
My rating would be 4.8, just a tad below the magnificent "In The Spanish Cave." Still, a lineup of excellent tracks here, nothing to say about this magnificent band... more
Of course, between this and the subsequent "The Rotters Club," I wouldn't know which is the more beautiful and complete. Extraordinary musicians, unique atmospheres... more
Perish, beneath my punishing member, I shall bestow upon you a humiliation of manly nature! Your struck cheeks will regain their color. Tedious to listen to, my phallus will restore virtue within you. more
Na' Schifezza, the singer also has a horrible voice- more
A great storyteller more
Strummer, after COMBAT ROCK, distances himself from the Clash, first Topper Headon and then Mick Jones. The latter forms Big Audio Dynamite. Their sound incorporated funk, dance, rap, reggae, and punk samples. In their 1986 album, Strummer co-writes some tracks with Jones. more
38 July and Cornutone. The biggest band of Italian absurd music. more
Among the giants of Italian absurd music... not like the Squallor, for heaven's sake, but hilarious to the point of dying! My favorite? "Canzone del cazzo." more
True that the lyrics were trivial... but they wrote massive albums like Dr. Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls, the self-titled album, Too Fast For Love, and Shout at the Devil... For me, it's 5 for life!!! more
Year 2013, April is the month; the tenth and final album by Cathedral is released, marking the end of the band after a career that began in the late eighties. "Entrance To Hell" leads us into hell for the last time, then giving way to the unending, heavy, weighty "Pallbearer." Ultra Heavy Hard-Doom that aims to be a return to the feral and deadly sound of the early days, with the voice of the Maestro Lee Dorrian once again covering us in mud...THY TOMB... more
Sound Terrorists: I can't find better words to describe the group that in the nineties produced a handful of "disturbed" records in terms of sound. Their sound contained an irritating, claustrophobic, tight Industrial-Noise, characterized by a double bass that left no survivors in the listening experience...WHITE NOISE... (exactly!!!!)... more
Big Black Mariah, Clap Hands,...Masterpiece more
For me, with Rain Dogs, the pinnacle of Tommaso.. more
