"First Utterance," or one of the most insane, visionary, and brilliant records in history. Folk possessed by a demonic sabbath. more
Another great record, even if for me it's a step back compared to the previous one. More melodic solutions, some touches of heavy, and the usual great compositional quality. (8) more
One of the greatest masterpieces of all time. Perhaps the best by Nick Cave, with the Bad Seeds in exceptional form. more
A great masterpiece. more
How can you not give 5 to one of the most important and influential bands in history??? more
Guy Kyser's band kicks off the nineties as it concluded the previous decade: in spectacular fashion. An album, the fourth in the studio, featuring songs written during travels to concerts; and for the first time, everyone participates in the songwriting. The country-roots vein, already well established in the group, is accentuated by that masterful psychedelic impact that is always abundantly present. The sultry and hypnotic cover of Can's "Yoo Doo Right" is the highlight of the album...HIDDEN LANDS... more
...WOW...I haven’t defined the Pixies yet! I wonder what my friend madcat will think about this! I’ll just say this: nobody back in the days of their first records played with such crazily distorted and messy sounds, yet melodically perfect...FUTURISTIC PROPHETS...This is the Planet of Sound!!!!!!!! more
Explosive debut for the Californian band. A classic thrash album, although Testament, compared to others, has a more unique, epic approach, with melodic solutions that vaguely reminded me of the Iron Maiden of "Powerslave." A tremendous performance by Chuck Billy behind the microphone. One of the cornerstone albums of thrash in the second half of the '80s. (8.5) more
The best American band! more
Registered in Belgium? All nonsense... we are right on the border between Arizona and Nevada, in a joint on the dusty desert road, frequented by truckers and shady characters, where the lightest drink is a double bourbon and there's the smell of piss coming from the restrooms... AMAZING live... more
A discography filled with anger and emotions. "Pescatore" has become part of history, "A muso duro" is the virtue of historical songwriting, and "L'italia d'oro" is still damn relevant! Don't let this extraordinary storyteller fade into oblivion. more

Another gem of this year. A work that denounces a system that is too liberal, which has done nothing but suppress the lower classes. Listen to it carefully, giving it a romantic judgment rather than a political one: you will surely appreciate it! more
We are at the end of 2014. If you enjoy singer-songwriter music, you have to check it out. The best album of the genre for the year that will soon come to an end. More info in the review. more
the masterpiece of jazz more
an extraordinary group of great musicians, wonderful to see them live more
Usual good thrash album from Sodom. I'm not too convinced by the recording, with the guitar overshadowing everything a bit. There's also a lack of a true hit, but it's still a nice listen. Old style. (7) more
The greatest band of all time. Superior to any existing musical genre, they come first, all the others are in second place!!! more
