CD Audio I have it ★★

8 sep 12

An album that has never convinced me, and apart from "Sign Of The Cross," "Man On The Edge," and "Lord Of The Flies," I would throw it in the trash. However, one must acknowledge that the beginning of a search for a new Heavy Metal can be felt, in line with the years when the newer, more extreme branches required Heavy Metal to be more "Heavy," indeed. The sound is therefore decent, but the musical quality is lacking.

Iron Maiden: The Final Frontier

8 sep 12

Unnecessary album, it brings nothing new and poorly wraps up the excellent discography of an immortal group. Not that the songs are bad, but after a slow "AMOL&D," perhaps something consistently heavy was needed, but not identical to the previous album. In my opinion, they have pushed too much towards Progressive Heavy Metal, which has somewhat hindered them. If it were a transitional album, one could overlook it, but being declared as their final work, they may have made a serious mistake.

As far as I know, they have never referred to it as their last CD; in fact, they said that this one should be followed by more.

Vague memories told me that the Maiden had claimed not to exceed a threshold of "so many" studio albums, and Final Frontier was the peak of that threshold. Then again, who knows, for money you can do anything and more.

Massive Attack: Heligoland

24 sep 12

A much-discussed work by Massive Attack, touted as another masterpiece in the pre-release phase, turned out to be a disappointing revelation for many fans. This album features unexpected sounds that require careful examination to be truly savored. It's a record that certainly grows on you over time, despite many claiming its potential "temporal saturability." For me, it's a wonderful album, with an atypical but engaging verve.
