The greatest rock experimenters of all time. more
The highest example of medieval songwriting. more
Here, this is pure symphonic metal, free from the fairytale atmosphere of our Rhapsody, and filled with that lyrical theatricality that has made it a reference point for every lover of the genre. Moreover, this album is a concept about Galileo Galilei: honor to Italy! more
The most beautiful of the Trieste band. Folk, classical, and baroque, brought together on a tapestry of dynamic and pleasant rhythms. Innovative. more
Official introducer of power and epic metal, this album has set the standard more than any other work by the "cousins" Deep Purple. One of the most beautiful hard rock albums that exist. more
"Fear, emptiness, despair" is the emblematic title of the fifth work by Napalm Death, released in 1994 under Earache Records; a successful attempt to experiment, to go beyond the Grind-Death wall of previous albums. A sound that becomes more reasoned, at times icy, getting closer to the industrial tones of Godflesh; there are still, and it's obvious, the typical violent incursions that recall the past, such as in the deadly "Hung" and "Plague Rages"...TWIST THE KNIFE (Slowly)... more
For top marks in Australian, all I need to do is mention my over thirty years of musical friendship with Nick Cave; and I add that he is a very talented producer, just ask Polly Jean who also has the last name Harvey, multi-instrumentalist, soundtrack writer...etc...etc... A nice guy from next door... more
Pleasant music in its simplicity. The lyrics aren’t convoluted, yet the line: "Le ragazze che sghignazzano e mi fan sentire solo" has stuck with me. more
SPHERES OF MADNESSSSSS!!! more
Master of Puppets fuck, Master of Puppets! more
Simply a great more
There's some virtuosity... Cover by Neon Park. more
Outstanding live record. more
English band of second division with first-class technique and ideas: it was only an innate versatility that precluded their success. Classics like the solid Wells Fargo, the Morriconian The Mexican, the breathtaking crescendo of The Runaways, all bearing the vocal mark of Jenny Haan. And who else had the courage to cover Zappa in 1972? more
Alongside "Heat," Mann's absolute masterpiece and one of the greatest summaries of 90s Cinema. Russell Crowe as he will never be again in the rest of his career and the usual great Pacino. A film of civil engagement without being rhetorical, visually outstanding, technically perfect, with a Mann who mixes alternating editing, over-the-shoulder shots, close-ups, and "shot-reverse shot" from the right side of the face (a Mannian sinthome that will return in all his films). An absolute gem. more
A powerful concentration of classic thrash. An album that also elevates the level of songwriting like never before in their career. Several tracks showcase a more melodic streak, and the structure becomes more complex and, if we want to say, "American" (see "Feigned Death Throes" and "Soul Contraband"). Slightly underwhelming in the last tracks. Otherwise, it's a great record, little else to say. (7.5) more
In fact, it's the reissue of the 1984 EP with the addition of some tracks. A brief return to the very raw black of the early days. An album that I have never understood and that has never captivated me. (5.5) more
They were ugly, dirty, and mean. Therefore, especially for bluesologists, indispensable. more
Sooner or later, Nick Cave had to tackle the cursed ballads that tell of death and murder; no one better than him can narrate, describe, and embody the role of the violent bard. He does this with his usual dark and shadowy interpretative mastery, blending reinterpretations of traditional pieces with songs that bear his autograph; he duets with PJ Harvey in "Henry Lee" and with Kylie Minogue in "Where The Wild Roses Grow". But the demon is only pushed away... DEATH IS NOT THE END... more
