After three years of silence, too long for me, Mark Knopfler returns with the first double album of his crystal-clear discography; a record where the proverbial sound of his guitar weaves threads of infinite poignant beauty, with the peak reached by "Yon Two Crows," a song with a rustic flavor so soft, accompanied by Mark's voice occasionally whispered, which rightfully ranks among the most beautiful interpretations from my personal dispenser of dreams... Enchanting.

Massive Attack: Mezzanine

23 may 14

This is my favorite album by Massive Attack; an hour of music that has always had an ambiguous effect: on one hand, the uncommon charm of songs that envelop you in hypnotic, evocative, sublime patterns like the opening track "Angel" or the third piece "Teardrop" with Elisabeth Fraser's voice more enchanting than ever. But there is also a narcoleptic effect that grips you during the listening experience, with a pervasive sense of helplessness that pushes you to repeat it all, from the beginning, eternally...FOREVER...

same for me. bought it on its release, but I don’t think I’ll ever listen to it again. not because it’s bad, but because I’ve really overplayed it, almost every day for years. since then, I try to savor each album to avoid the nausea effect.

"Never so enchanting" Never? Let's not exaggerate; we are talking about Fraser, she had already done something back in the days of this collaboration ;) Masterpiece album in any case, no complaints.

"For years, almost every day" I could never do it O_O even and especially with my favorite albums, out of fear of getting tired of them. At most two or three very intense months, maximum, like recently with the Birthday Party.

Of course, it was referring to the album and the enchantment I personally feel when listening to Elisabeth in this context; I know the Cocteau Twins very well, the band our artist belongs to. At the time of the release of Mezzanine, we are in 1998, Fraser's first band had released about ten albums, where her distinctive voice had already been noticed multiple times by me.

I also think it's one of those albums that can create a kind of addictive effect. Because it’s so linear, flawless, and perfectly structured in the sequence of tracks that you're almost compelled to listen to it all in one go; it's hard to start it without finishing it. But an album like "Dummy" I must have listened to twice as many times, or maybe even more, I believe.

@Lao; this is a genre that creates "addiction," wanting to repeat the listening experience multiple times in the same day. Of course, time permitting, because Mezzanine exceeds one hour in duration. The same applies to Portishead, perhaps amplifying it even further... or rather, without perhaps. In any case, a genre that has always fascinated me.

I agree with DeMa, a narcoleptic record that is addictive, but I also agree with Lao: Portishead have always "gripped" me more and although Fraser has a heavenly voice, my beloved Beth will always be the coolest!

We are facing two groups that can hardly be defined as enormous in their kind; when it comes to Massive Attack, they obsessively "get me high" in their listens: a dependency that I find necessary, especially during these not-so-optimal periods of my existence.

Megadeth: Rust in Peace

26 oct 14

Dave Mustaine had very clear ideas at the beginning of the nineties: to experiment with more dynamic, complex, and elaborate musical solutions. This way, the band created its masterpiece, thanks to a stellar lineup that supports the leader: Marty, David, and Nick are technically impeccable, providing a fast, tight, perfect sound. One of the absolute peaks of all Thrash Metal; they would never reach these levels again, beginning an endless decline in inspiration... HANGAR 18...

Meshuggah: Alive DVD

15 dec 14

I own the version with CD and DVD; recorded in various cities during the promotional Tour for the album "Obzen" between 2008 and 2009. The cover and the internal booklet prominently feature green: already a calling card that warns about the destabilizing content of an album that is suffocating, to say the least! Everything is designed to hurt during the listening experience, to induce pain, not physical but mental: heaviness, stupor, repetition of sounds that dig into the subconscious...COMBUSTION...

Metallica: Ride the Lightning

30 may 14

I will never tire of praising, of thanking Metallica and their second work, dated 1984; because thanks to this sonic bomb, my proud youthful spirit was introduced to Thrash sounds, and later came to appreciate all subsequent extreme and heavy music. A formidable album: explosive and violent songs like the opener "Fight Fire With Fire" and the long and imposing "Creeping Death"; finally mentioning the occasionally epic crescendo of "Fade To Black," a track... I'm left speechless...

A few nights ago, at a party in a village not far from Domodossola, the Orion band played, an official Italian tribute to Metallica from Padua. From the album I defined, they performed: Ride The Lightning, Fade to Black, For Whom The Bells Tolls, and Creeping Death: despite my not-so-young age, I happily joined in on the good pogo. A perfect group until 1988.....then unfortunately there's also a then....

Metallica: Master of Puppets

7 nov 14

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."

Metallica: ...and Justice for All

It wasn't easy for me to understand and appreciate the band's fourth album, the first composed without Cliff Burton; once I got past the initial difficulties, partly due to the endless length of some tracks, it became one of my favorite albums from the entire Thrash scene of the eighties. It's the relentless fury of "Blackened," wisely placed to kick off the collection, that sets the coordinates for a compact work, with guitar riffs that never seem to end...ONE...

Of a trifle, I prefer Master of Puppets; however, this is still a masterpiece of "evolved" Thrash. I just finished listening again, and the final explosiveness of "Dyers Eve" pierced my eardrums for the millionth time!!! Every single track deserves a separate review chapter precisely for the musical grandeur you get from listening. I was 21 when I bought the double vinyl, which I now try not to listen to in order to preserve it as long as possible, opting for the CD. And every time I remember what they have become, my heart aches. I saw them live for the first time during the ...And Justice for All... tour... MASSACRE...

For me, it's the best. Even more beautiful than Master of Puppets. I'm not crazy about Metallica, in fact, if someone asked me: "Dragon, what score would you give Master of Puppets?" I would reply 8.5! Absurd, isn't it? Giving less than ten to that album (on paper, I would give it at least for its historical importance, but my personal score remains what you can read above). So, this is to say that I appreciate Metallica, but I don't love them madly, except... yes, except...

This album is rubbish; horrible cover, the band's logo has been "normalized" losing the sharpness that was evident in the previous five albums.

I respond to all your comments; imagine what it must have been like for me on the day of the release and listening to the album that I relentlessly condemn. First of all, look at the band's logo and remember what stood out in their previous works: a difference that is glaring. I grew up not only musically with albums like "Ride The Lightning," which I bought at 17 and was a revelation; not to mention "Master of Puppets." And seen live at the end of the eighties, they had a very different impact compared to today; the last time I saw them live was in 1999, and I was shocked by Lars's "reduced" speed on the drums. As far as I'm concerned, one of the worst betrayals in Music: now I'm going to listen to their debut...NO REMORSE...(indeed).

Well, I don't expect any judgments from fans other than yours, but I don't remember it being that bad (even though I never listen to it) just simply different.

There is only one way to listen to that little-known group called METALLICA. The secret is to mix four fundamental (unrepeatable and irreplaceable) ingredients that will mark both the birth and the death of this band: Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice for All.

Metallica: Kill 'em All

27 jan 15

The beginning of a musical journey that will lead the band to release a sequence of masterpiece albums until 1988; a work recorded hastily, with just a few thousand dollars to rely on. I've always seen it as the "amateur" record of Metallica, precisely because of the spartan recordings and a sound that comes across as raw and devoid of technicalities. An Heavy-Thrash Metal played without any brakes by young lads ready to conquer the world... SEEK & DESTROY...

Years later, I still can't explain the reasons that led me to listen to the album in question; perhaps the word Death in the title had some effect, sparking a sort of curiosity.

As far as I'm concerned, "All Nightmare Long" is the best piece they've written since 1988. I don't think I've ever listened to the album in full, but I found it a thrash album in true metal style. It's normal for someone to discover, 20 years later, that the music they listened to as a teenager now makes them cringe, but it's certainly not the music's fault. The other day I re-listened to "Kill 'Em All" linked by one of you... it's an album produced so poorly, with such cliché solutions, and a sound so terrible that if it were released today, it would be good just for target practice. In any case, in 2015 still complaining about Metallica (you've been dragging this argument since '96, the last millennium) is serious. It's been almost 20 years that you've been flushing money down the toilet just to complain about it. Do you want to take care of yourselves or not? Because those who got scammed by Vanna Marchi have never sparked my sympathy or solidarity: in the long run, some things are deserved. Anyway.

Mind Funk: Dropped

5 feb 17

"Dropped": Downloaded, Scammed. Let yourself go to your destiny. It's the eloquent title of the second album by Mind Funk; Epic has just dropped them due to the paltry sales of their self-titled debut two years prior. But they don't lose heart, and with the help of producer Terry Date, they pull out a more thoughtful, at times spiritual album. A powerful Hard-Rock with precious psychedelic inserts that bring them close to the best Soundgarden of those fabulous years. Strength and compactness are the characteristic elements of a little-known band that has gone almost unnoticed; personally, one of my peaks of the nineties. The opener "Goddess" seems to come from the recordings of "Louder Than Love" by the already mentioned Sound Garden...HOLLOW...

The Morbid Angel arrive in 1995 with their fourth album; continuing in alphabetical order, "Domination" is its title. It’s the demonic and dark growl of David that opens the album, immediately followed by Pete's drumming and the sick guitars of Trey and Erik: it’s the beginning of a hellish journey, which concludes with the almost six minutes of "Hatework," where a militaristic percussive backdrop guides the listening of a track that brings forth alive anguish with its funeral pace...

Mudhoney: Mudhoney

3 oct 14

After making their debut the year before with the sulfurous mini LP "Superfuzz Bigmuff," in 1989 Mudhoney released their first self-titled full-length album; the musical coordinates perfectly blend Stooges-influenced hard rock, raw and distorted garage-punk, and twisted psychedelia. I only need to mention the destabilizing "Here Comes Sickness," so dense with abrasive sound, sharp as the guitars of the armed duo Mark Arm-Steve Turner. They would never reach such devastating peaks again.

Unfortunately, after Superfuzz Bigmuff, which I didn’t really like (I found their songwriting a bit lacking), I didn’t try listening to anything else by Mudhoney. I should probably give this a chance, as many people, like you Dema, describe it as their best, while also noticing how they added a bit of psychedelia to their sound.

My Dying Bride: The Light at the End of the World

3 feb 15

After the misstep of the previous album, where they attempted an electronic experimentation that barely connected with their Gothic-Doom attitude, Aaron and his loyal followers return to those spectral, heavy, suffocating sounds, crafting nine songs that in some cases exceed ten minutes in length. It’s the growl of the leader’s voice that adds an extra dark and malevolent touch to an album that reaffirms the group’s significance in the Metal scene...THE FEVER SEA...

My Dying Bride: A Map Of All Our Failures

The heavy tolling of a bell announcing death: thus opens the eleventh studio album of the English band. Right after, the two guitars weave slow Gothic-Doom patterns, accompanied by the sound of a violin that reminds me of their best albums from the nineties: welcome to the world of the Dying Bride. And we are only at the first lengthy track, "Knell The Doomsday," with a final Death Metal burst where Aaron revives his primitive and terrifying growl...LIKE A PERPETUAL FUNERAL...

One of the most shocking sonic experiences I’ve ever heard; it's John Zorn assembling a lineup of true virtuosos, with the demonic screams of Yamatsuka Eye making the few minutes of the album, across 42 tracks, something irreproducible due to its sheer excess. Grind, hardcore, pop, free jazz, punk, but also remarkable country passages: frenzied bursts of vitriol, in some cases lasting just a handful of seconds. The genius madness taken to extremes...HERETICS...

Napalm Death: Utilitarian

13 may 14

It’s the latest album in chronological order from the guys in Birmingham, the fourteenth since their debut in 1987; nothing new concerning their sound. The usual fierce energy is present through eighteen tracks where grindcore is contaminated by remnants of unheard-of violence from Death and Hardcore, played at a speed that offers no respite whatsoever. All of this is exacerbated by the brutal invectives of Mark "Barney" Greenway, who impresses with a unique and terrifying growl... Crushing...

Napalm Death: From Enslavement to Obliteration

11 oct 14

A few months separate the debut "Scum" from Napalm Death's second album; the iconoclastic fury is presented in the same identical way, but with better production. And it is the album that marks the entry of bassist Shane Embury into the group, who will become an indispensable member over time. It starts with the long, three minutes are an eternity for them, and slowed down "Evolved As One"; then follows apocalyptic violence, with songs that are devastating Grindcore boulders...PRIVATE DEATH

23 sep 14

After destabilizing the extreme music world with their first two works that marked the genesis of Grindcore, the Birmingham band reaches a turning point; Lee Dorrian departs and his worthy vocal replacement is Mark "Barney" Greenway. They move away from the sonic extremism of their beginnings, arriving at a Death Metal that is no less effective in terms of impact and "physicality"; a dark production that renders the sound distressing, piercing your eardrums. "Suffer the Children," a terrifying track...MORTAL.

Thirty years after their debut, they have no intention of abdicating: they are still the unchallenged rulers of sonic extremism that transforms into brutally violent music.

Napalm Death: "Fear, Emptiness, Despair"

15 nov 14

"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)...

Hello GIASSON; the first Death album by the English band is a few years older than this one. It's the excellent "Harmony Corruption" released in 1990, an album I recommend since it's the debut behind the microphone of the likable Mark "Barney" Greenway. While this one I define remains something unique in their impressive and, for me, entirely excellent discography, precisely for that sound exploration close to industrial metal, which was so popular in the nineties, especially in the land of England.

Twenty-five tracks compressed into 38 minutes and 34 seconds; this is the second work of the Swedes, a total sonic massacre.

The legitimate offspring of Napalm Death, whom fate defeated; in memory of Mieszko 1974-2004... Unclassifiable...

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Murder Ballads

14 nov 14

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...

To me, this is an album to be handed down to future generations; I could stop here.

@madcat; I discovered them in the early 1990s when a friend of mine recommended "Bleach": a true revelation.

Despite the cleanliness of the sound, it remains one of those albums that I have to listen to regularly: and it’s always a pleasure. I conclude by saying that I appreciate the song "In Bloom" a lot precisely because it always reminds me of the date November 17, 1991: the walls of the Milan venue could barely withstand the terrifying shockwave of the armed trio.

The fact that they are both essential albums for me is beyond discussion.

And I conclude with the end of the concert, when Kurt leaves the stage and stops to sign an autograph for some kids sitting in the front row, which he signs with his right hand; then he walks away, with the inevitable company of a cigarette. It's a shame it all ended so soon and in such a terrible way.

"The End Complete" remains for me the best album by the guys from Florida; the production by Scott Burns is excellent, managing to create their Death Metal filled and dense with dark sounds, culminating in nine compact, terrifying, ferocious tracks. A wall of sound that gives no respite, from the opener "I'm in Pain" to the song that closes the collection "Rotting Ways," everything is aimed at the pursuit of that overwhelming heaviness that disorients the listener, with a growl that impresses.

Obituary: Cause of Death

25 jan 15

I start with the cover: one of the most terrifying in terms of depicted images, immediately making you understand the heinous content of Obituary's second album. And the album title is yet another warning signal; a Death Metal characterized by those guitar sounds so low, grim, and dark that they "disturb" the listening experience. The presence of James Murphy, a luxurious guest in this work on guitar, only makes the sound even denser and heavier...DYING...

Obituary: World Demise

22 oct 14

World Demise is the fourth release from the band hailing from Florida; an album released in 1994 that aims to highlight the group's successful attempt to find new paths, new musical directions. Twelve tracks make up a compact, violent work, but with a slowed-down, exaggerated execution speed; the impact remains overwhelming, crushing, as in the track that opens the album "Don't Care," where John Tardy's roar comes straight from the realm of the dead...SPLATTERED...
