Dream Theater represent everything I don't look for in music... awake and images and words are the only two albums of theirs I can listen to without getting bored... anyway, the fact that they sing "po po po po" at the end represents, in my opinion, a bit of shallowness on the part of the fans... I’m amazed they didn’t go on a rampage for not hearing Metropolis... I add that bands like Tool and Opeth (you'll say they have nothing to do with it... but often hardcore metalheads like to make comparisons like Dream Theater-Sex Pistols... Iron Maiden-Nirvana... so why can't I do the same?) in the so-called progressive metal devour this dream theater for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and why that name? Since their music in terms of being dreamlike and stimulating is at an all-time low)...

Honestly, the Antichrist struck me more than this... which doesn't seem like the best Nietzsche... I won't even rate the review because I'm starting to think that you're really a fake... aphorisms a commercial gimmick? You must have smoked some stuff, huh...

@donnie...I never said that the Beatles are overrated...I already explained it before...I love the Beatles...it's just that I don't like this album at all...XD

I didn't mean to...sorry lux...I read your post really badly...XD...forgive me...by the way, you also said things I can agree with...well...it happens to pee outside the pot...

@lux...who talked about alternative music? Alternative to what? It seems like such a sterile issue that it's not even worth spending time on...a lot of people who play don't care about becoming famous...aren't you convinced? Then why has Federico Fiumani (for example) been in anonymity for years...if he wanted to become more known he could have written a nice radio piece to play on all the stations...instead he hasn’t and still plays for free in small venues...why do that if it doesn’t benefit his popularity...and what about Fugazi? What do you have to say about Lou Barlow instead...ending up in the early 2000s (I believe) composing and selling songs to other artists to make a living? Do you think they weren’t successful or just simply interested in playing? As for the Beatles, I love them with all my heart...but if Paul McCartney takes part in a crappy album (which I’ve listened to) can I say it without being labeled as someone who thinks the Beatles are overrated?

I agree with every word of Easy and Ghemison... I would add that I don't think many people in the underground care about being known to the wider public... @Primiballi... I consider you a knowledgeable person... but perhaps too nostalgic... and maybe even irritating... in the sense that you don't try to listen to a lot of today's stuff with attention... because if you did, you would have labeled this album as mediocre... I'm sorry to say it... but you're the one who seems snobbish, trusting only the old guard... music moves forward and evolves... hasn't everything already been said...?

Edgar Allan Poe is among my favorite writers...audiobooks are nice to listen to...but they can never replace real books...as for films, I don't believe that A Clockwork Orange is the most fitting example of video captioning...Kubrick practically rewrote and reinterpreted it...the message is more powerful than in the novel, in my opinion...so much so that now, when hearing the title A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick comes to mind...not Burgess...in cinema, the transcription is more free...the audiobook, by its very nature, cannot go beyond a certain limit...so the result, however good, will always remain quite didactic...in essence...cinema has a true artistic aspect...therefore it can really be a standalone work...I don’t think audiobooks can be...@caz...are you by any chance a lawyer? XD...you have an uncommon ability to dismantle arguments...:)

I roughly think like mukkio... whom I greet... Manzoni is a bit of a show-off... in this novel there’s so much rhetoric that it’s scary... in this regard, it reminds me a bit of Eco's Il nome della rosa... also a fairly "posh" book... I believe the musical comparison with Dream Theater is particularly fitting... sure... it’s also true that in terms of linguistic style it’s innovative... however, in my opinion, apart from its historical importance, this book doesn’t have much to offer... quite differently for La divina commedia... which I find really beautiful and interesting to read (I'm missing Paradiso) besides being a pillar of Italian language and literature... then enough with the idea that we hate Manzoni just because school shoves it down our throats... for example, La divina commedia and the Homeric "Trilogy" leave a pretty positive memory (at least for me and for a large part of the people I know)... but I can’t say the same for I promessi sposi...

bleah...it's these things that turn school into a brainwashing machine...

Sure... in middle school they made me read Little Red Riding Hood and then I answered a questionnaire... XD... anyway, I've always hated the worksheets too...
