Even though in different ways, I have loved them from the acidic voice of "Astronomy Domine" to the heartfelt solo of "High Hopes". Obviously, they have also released some indigestible albums ("A Momentary Lapse of Reason", or the recent "The Endless River"), but they are merely invisible caricatures, unable to tarnish masterpieces like "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," "A Saucerful of Secrets," or "The Dark Side of the Moon." Timeless. more

Life is tough as a clone, especially if you’re born in the same place and sound just like someone who casts a shadow over you; and if that shadow comes from a band called AC/DC, convincing others becomes really difficult. They are good, and some of their songs are noteworthy, but will that be enough to stand out? more
Genre Jazz-Funk, Jazz Fusion with psychedelic touches. more
A simple piano sound introduces "9 Crimes," a track that marks the beginning of the second album by the Irish singer-songwriter; just a few seconds in, Lisa's voice arrives, soft, whispered but capable, as always, of enchanting. It's Damien's turn to delve into the heart of the song, with his equally beautiful voice, embarrassingly rich in its warm depth: the track rises in tone, with the addition of some strings, maintaining all its icy beauty in a spine-tingling finale. There are still "9" songs to go... more
For years and through many albums, they had a clear Nickelback stamp, trying to produce, however, many more slow tracks than the latter, which might sell better but ultimately leave little impact apart from rare exceptions. Then "Savages" came along, and I hope it's the beginning of a characterization for this band. more
There's not much to say; they may not be innovators, but they definitely make a noise and carry on that simple, easy-to-listen-to rock that made the fortune of bands like Audioslave before them. Myles has an exceptional voice that sometimes overshadows everything. more
The tree of life in Continental Acid Folk, a vivid and stern Teutonic link between the Canterbury scene of Spirogyra and the baroque Neapolitan school of Saint Just. If I had been 18 in 1970, I would have wanted to record an album like this, only to disappear afterward. more
Never before in these chilly autumn days did I need his Music to warm my heart, soul, and mind. Damien has returned: the purity... more
A good band, as far as I'm concerned, still has songs and albums that are appreciable. Cornell's voice is certainly one of the strengths; it's a pity that afterward he attempted a disappointing solo career. Morello sometimes seems a bit confined within the patterns, but when one of his distorted solos kicks in during a predominantly melodic song, it might initially make you wrinkle your nose, but over time his intrusions age better than the song itself. more
Out of the ordinary. more

The debut album remains one of the best albums in history to this day.... but we must also remember other great albums like "Van Halen II," "Fair Warning," "1984," "5150," "F.U.C.K.".... more
Great until "These Days," almost nothing in the 2000s... more
Third album of the band, the last with Cliff Burton who shortly after will lose his life in a tragic tour bus accident; the perfect completion of the circle. One of the best albums, in fact I’ll say it: for me the best of the Thrash Metal wave in the eighties; three tracks exceed eight minutes and none of the remaining ones falls below five. "Battery" fiercely opens the collection, moving through the obsessive title track, the gloomy instrumental "Orion," and the devastating conclusion of "Damage Inc." more
Mind Train is the most psychedelic and underrated suite I know. The sweet couple and their sessioner friends had gotten their hands on top-notch stuff, and the results can overwhelm you like an acidic tsunami. Hirake sees herself as the protagonist of her own nightmares....OPEN YOUR BOX::: more
Beyond Punk, far beyond New Wave. A "total" band at least until "Album"; but it's "Metal Box" that represents the superlative and absolute zenith: experimentation, avant-garde, dub, hints of proto-house, with John’s voice being a murderous, decadent, deathly lament... Claustrophobic like few others... more
Nick Cave, as we know, was a bit restless... more
