Perfect from a purely technical standpoint, with photography and sound deserving of a real applause, in addition to Cuarón's decidedly functional direction. An experimental film more than it appears, it falters in a second half that is implausible and succumbs to a sometimes shallow sentimentalism lacking in pathos. (7)

During the gradual decline of thrash, the Canadians unleash a stratospheric debut. It's got everything: power, melody, songwriting, eclecticism. A masterpiece. (8.5)

For me, the true masterpiece of Jeff Waters, even superior to the previous one. A slightly more compact sound, softening the prominence of the bass (so characteristic of AIN) and still great thrash with rocky melodic veins. Tracks like "The Fun Palace," "Stonewall," and the title track remain among the best of 90s thrash. (8.5/9)

As was fashionable at the time, the Canadians also sweetened their sound, winking at the catchy style popularized by Metallica's "Black Album." Despite this, I really enjoy the album, and it's one of the Annihilator records that I listen to with the most pleasure. (7.5)

    Randall was truly an amazing singer, perhaps one of the best of Annihilator and the best for this type of album.

The arrival of Joe Comeau behind the microphone fits perfectly with a sound that regains the thrash ruggedness of their early days. Once again, we are not talking about a work that shifts the balance, but it is probably their best of the "interim period" before the arrival of Dave Padden. A solid and compact album. (7)

Identical speech to that for the previous CD. Enjoyable thrash, but in this case more chewed and "stale." Comeau will be dismissed after this album. Compared to "Carnival Diablos," the level of songwriting drops. (6)

Jeff Waters does everything on his own. He only has drummer Randy Black by his side. The album flows smoothly, the quality is still good, and the title track is one of the most devastating pieces live. Overall, however, there is a sense of slow decline emerging. (7)

Dave Padden comes in behind the microphone and personally, I don't like it, at least not for this job. It's not that it can be called ugly, but it's a record that tries to mimic a thrash/nu similar to "St. Anger" by Metallica, which has never convinced me, both as a genre and therefore in this album. The AOR-oriented ballad "Holding On" also feels out of place. The rest is listenable, but there's not much of it. (5.5)

First real misstep. Not-exceptional songwriting, standard heavy/thrash tracks without any notable insights. Nice "The Pastor Of Disaster." Not exactly rubbish, but it doesn't quite make the grade. (5.5)

Interesting electronic experiment. Clearly unsuccessful, but I've never seen it as the garbage that many talk about. Perhaps the most violent of their career. "Sexecution" and "Wind" are successful tracks. (5.5)

After the two previous albums that were quite inconclusive, this one brings us back to a band capable of once again blending thrash and heavy with pathos and power. A canonical album that doesn’t excel, but is pleasantly enjoyable. I hear a strong Maiden influence, especially in the guitar choices of the title track. (6.5)

The worst thing produced by Waters. A thousand collaborations probably to sell more. An ugly mess, from someone who gave birth to "Alice In Hell." Plasticky, contrived, ugly, lacking ideas, with choruses reminiscent of Foo Fighters. The lowest point for the Canadian band. (3.5)

One can hope, but in the end, it's the musicians who must understand that for years they have been producing crap. Once again, the triumph of nothingness. A sort of soulless pseudo-thrash that mimics the core bands that are popular among the kids. For me, Annihilator dies here. (5)

The political staff of Penn in a hard-hitting film about the moral hypocrisy of the United States. The actors stand out, and despite the cuts imposed by the production, it remains one of the most poignant snapshots of the time regarding the American nation. (9)

A film ahead of its time, both technically and thematically. The echoes of the French Nouvelle Vague are reinterpreted by Penn to tell the epic tale of rebellious and violent new American generations. Before "Easy Rider," New Hollywood is already here. Although it bears the weight of 50 years, it remains a memorable and iconic film. (9)

Penn uses genres again (here the noir) to overturn conventions and stylistic elements. The loser Gene Hackman is a private investigator who suffers like America in the early '70s. An emotionally empty film that gives very little in terms of pathos, but hurts in how it outlines the loneliness and ineptitude of its characters, with an exemplary ending that encapsulates all of this.

Work I have never loved. Perhaps the one that attracts me the least about the Ayreon project. Slow, cumbersome, lacking in inspiration. Pieces built in the same way, a problem that Lucassen has rarely shown. (5)

Listening to it again after years did not evoke the same emotions, perhaps because I have strayed too far from the genre. Nonetheless, it is a noteworthy debut, the first episode of an interesting reality and one of the most thriving in the prog metal world in recent decades. (7)

    I still like it, even though I prefer other albums like In to the Electric Castle and The Human Equation.
