Hellviz

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.

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.

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.

A modest start for an artist who certainly shows promise.
