A great manga at least until the Frieza saga. If it had ended there, it would have been definitely better. Ah, the drawings, they may not be like those of Kentaro Miura or Naoki Urasawa, but at least they aren't like those of the Knights of the Zodiac (which I struggle to read because of those awful drawings).

Magnetic debut for Area, who immediately lay their cards on the table and deliver 6 breathtaking songs. Through direct and simple lyrics, the haunting vocalizations of Stratos, the frenzied percussion of Capiozzo, and social criticism, Area establish themselves right away as the best Italian band. Stunning.

    once I liked it a lot, now it almost makes me feel pity (which is a very relative now, the last time I listened to it was probably a year ago). It should also be noted that prog, with VERY RARE exceptions, doesn’t appeal to me (anymore).

    Very often progressive groups risk getting lost in monotony, eventually losing their originality. Exceptions being Area (even if they are not exactly prog) and Van Der Graaf Generator, who managed to always be new, fresh, without ever falling into gross banality.

Bjork drives me insane in an incredible way, not because of her, but because of her fans who consider her the best singer ever (which she isn't, despite her undeniable technical talent). The vocalizations are grand, the music, at least, is decent, not exceptional, with some interesting ideas. I would say she deserves the 4 balls. Well done Björk, I would have given you 1 ball for each album, but after all, mutatis mutandis, opinions change :)

    No lack of consistency: in English, the term "camel" is also correct to refer to what we call a dromedary. Not by chance, the symbol of the homonymous cigarette brand is also a dromedary. :)

Let's start with this premise: I am a novice in literature, and since I haven't read the entire Divina Commedia, I can't make a complete judgment about Dante (in fact, I've "only" read the most important cantos). Nevertheless, the Divina Commedia is an immense masterpiece, a milestone that should be read at least once in a lifetime, whether for school obligation or personal interest. In this work, Dante denounces a corrupt and ruthless world but hints at a glimmer of hope for the future in a very poetic finale.

    Damn, what a butt. I like Human, but I'll always prefer Symbolic.
  • De...Marga...
    4 may 16
    So Symbolic is definitely more complete, more polished in its details, played brilliantly by a lineup that impressed with its technical skills. However, Human is more compact, more overwhelming. Just think of the opening trio "Flattening of Emotions-Suicide Machine-Together As One." Chuck was a huge innovator in the Metal realm.

  • Hank Monk

    Spiritual Healing is my least favorite. Leprosy, for instance, I'm particularly attached to (the first one I bought, with that orange CD... awesome). Human was a breath of fresh air. There’s Cosmic Sea and above all their best song in my opinion: Lack Of Comprehension :) Dema, you know I kind of envy you for all the amazing concerts you've seen :)
  • Marco Orsi
    4 may 16
    Well, I much prefer the first two albums by Death: "Scream Bloody Gore" and "Leprosy". Badass and uncompromising Thrash/Death. However, I also loved "Symbolic" a lot. I rank it, along with "Human", among the best of the second phase.
  • De...Marga...
    4 may 16
    Unfortunately, Hank Monk, I have to disagree with you! Of course, I respect opinions, but when it comes to Death, I can say there isn't a worst album of theirs! I appreciate them all, even the first two which are much more raw and focused on absolute executional violence. With Spiritual Healing, Chuck starts looking forward, with tracks like the title track and Living Monstruosity, progressing in sound, seeking greater cohesiveness, and stretching the duration times of the individual songs. I saw them live twice: I was completely destroyed in the wild pogo that erupted. What a thrill, damn it. What an extraordinary band Death was; it's a shame it all ended too soon. Sometimes I can't help but wonder how far Chuck could have pushed his innate genius... COSMIC SEA...
  • Hank Monk
    4 may 16
    I must have written this several times already, but: a Spiritual Healing for Obituary was a masterpiece (Cause Of Death). For Death, it was a transitional period. I prefer the raw and badass violence of the first two. And the exciting controlled and ultra-technical violence of the later phase.
  • De...Marga...
    4 may 16
    Hank, you surely know that on both albums, Spiritual Healing and Cause of Death, that marvel of a guitarist James Murphy played the six-string; you also know that the Death album was released in February 1990 and the Obituary one in the fall of the same year. All this to say that the band of the Tardy brothers took a lot of inspiration from the Death sound of that period, thanks to James' presence, who surely brought with him the experience gained a few months earlier with Chuck Schuldiner's band. Two albums that are always and anyway devastating, even though I prefer Spiritual. Hey dude...TURNED INSIDE OUT...
  • Hank Monk
    4 may 16
    :) I completely agree with your analysis (and I didn’t mention the Cause of Death by chance). This is to emphasize that an album like this cannot be considered bad (its twin is the gem of the Obituary discography). However, in a series of albums that are so beautiful, for me it remains the least focused.

    I have expressed my total love for Death many times; and their greatest album will forever remain the unattainable "Human" (34 minutes of auditory bliss). I have always considered "Individual Thought Patterns" to be the heaviest, most metal album due to the participation of that guitar phenomenon named Andy LaRocque. And when you also have Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio at your disposal, a new masterpiece couldn't help but emerge. I am deeply attached to the album because it’s the only work by Death that I own on vinyl, since way back in 1993...MENTALLY BLIND...
