The group in question shows incredible consistency, as it's called "Camel," and the cover features a dromedary... But it doesn't matter much, "Mirage" is a masterpiece!

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. :)
I haven't listened to the album (and the band) in ages, but I remember it being very beautiful. A revival is necessary...

Can: Tago Mago

22 may 16

Spatial, a masterpiece that encompasses various different genres (prog rock, psychedelic rock) and is seminal for the music to come. "Oh Yeah" is an orgasm.

One of the best albums ever recorded in the history of metal, powerful, slow, captivating, technically superb!

The metal that I also like. The filthy and elephantine one.

Well, this is doom. It's more approachable and digestible than death or black metal.

Not really. At least in the evolution of friggineuroni Doom of the '90s. Death and black are to me just silly nonsense; it's well-known that Doom is a terrifying rock in the face, and I love it.

I don't criticize him, but he keeps making me get thoroughly groomed. Except for the Death, whose later albums I prefer. They are still not among my favorite bands.

I love Death, they are my favorite metal band. Never mundane, never repetitive.

Those from the '90s, man.

So you mean Human, individual thought patterns, symbolic and sound of perseverance....basically their masterpieces.

What I like the most is definitely "Sound of Perseverance" :D I'm not a big fan of them and I don't listen to them much, but as a band, they have all my respect.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band: Trout Mask Replica

22 jun 16

One of the most Dadaist works ever created by man can be both art and a photonic shit, but the Captain's intent is to establish a new musical conception, and he does so by drawing from primordial blues. Simply genius!!

Caravan: Waterloo Lily

Another record by Caravan, in my view slightly "inferior" to "In The Land Of Grey And Pink," but not to the extent that it prevents me from giving it 5 stars.

For me too, it's their last album at a very high level, even though I also appreciate some subsequent albums, which I think are good.

So is the post-Waterloo Lily career of Caravan valid?

Catherine Ribeiro + 2 Bis: Catherine Ribeiro + 2 Bis

What a record... in some ways, Catherine Ribeiro, with her euphoric and powerful psychedelic voice, reminds me of Grace Slick, even though it’s obviously just my impression...

It doesn't matter whether the CCCP were actually "communists" or not; this album is objectively a masterpiece.

Chris Columbus: Harry Potter e la Pietra Filosofale

10 jun 16

This is the first and only movie I've seen. I mean, it's decent, but couldn't Rowling have characterized Harry Potter better?? Goodness, it's boring, trivial, and annoying. Thank goodness for Snape, who saves the film. It's a very overrated movie!

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Cosmo’s Factory

The intro with "Ramble Tamble" immediately makes two things clear: The Creedence Clearwater Revival mean business; the maturity of this phenomenal group. It's a superlative album, just over 40 minutes of pure show.

One of the greatest masterpieces produced by Polish rock music and, moreover, one of the most incredible albums in the history of singer-songwriter and progressive...a bow to Mr. Niemen is more than deserved...
