A brief but focused review for a great album. The grunge masterpiece (the last gasp of rock about to disappear forever) is, remains, and will remain Nevermind. I feel sorry for Bibiane, but at least 5 or 6 others come to mind that will be remembered as the best of the '90s. I feel sorry for all those, authenticated and not, who cannot appreciate other people's ideas when they diverge from their own, although I have a bitter sense of satisfaction in seeing my thesis demonstrated that the rating of the review is inversely proportional to the deviation between the rating given to the album by the reviewer and that assigned by the commentator. Anyway, Ten doesn't deserve a ten because the less successful tracks detract from the overall work; let me explain: even more energetic, more charged than Nevermind (which I preferred at the time), the tracks in question serve as extremes of intervals, like parentheses in a discourse. As they are placed, they interrupt the flow. Am I mistaken or when you finish listening to it, no matter how "full" it may leave you, do you turn off the stereo and go somewhere else for 5-10 minutes? Nevermind can be listened to on repeat twenty times, but you will never feel like taking it off. Meditate, people, meditate... Tschuss.

Sure, it's good in its own way, but you can't give 5 balls to Psychocandy!

Dear Tzunami, I don’t know you, and I don’t care. BUT HOW DO YOU GIVE A 1 TO A WORK YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO? This album by Tracy Chapman tells the story of Tracy Chapman, and she, honestly not the prettiest, is like an onion: with each listen, you can (if you want) peel away a layer. I recognize that it’s actually much harder than it seems at first glance, but you... Huge credit to Rivo who, being consistent, doesn’t listen to it and doesn’t vote for it.

Great review. The album, the one by The Who that I listen to the most (and sorry for the rhyme), doesn’t deserve an average of 5.

2 for the review, because a) it doesn’t even mention the heavy influence of the historical moment in which the album is released; b) it doesn’t analyze the title track in its parts; c) how do we describe the different styles you refer to? And again, what do you mean by stepping out of experimentation, is this a commercial album?
4 for the album (I emphasize album, even though it falters) because as G says, it has the (only) flaw of not driving us crazy: Pink Floyd emerge from the Barrett phase, disoriented, bewildered (forgive the word)... Waters takes the lead and one realizes that he is the commander. The crew feels resentful and out comes a mortified album, barely choked, or softened, or however you prefer to define it. For example, the orchestra is present, imposing, but it doesn’t release the energy (which happens, on the other hand, with Mason’s entrance in the subsequent "One of these Days"). The album is like the quad (and should only be listened to with quad): it has limits at both the high and low ends, but we have learned to appreciate it and every time we listen to it again we hardly notice anymore.

Your review has the sole merit, not to be underestimated, of being able to convey the enthusiasm that the album (I reiterate, album!) brings you. There are missing pieces of information or descriptions. I will follow you with interest, goodbye.

Great Rivo: as soon as you take it off, let me know, I'll buy it from you! don't go giving it to others, or I'll get pissed off.

last I'm going to eat: at "50 faces of" stop the cd (or mp3, or whatever you have), pause, glass of almond milk, and start with "howie B", "turn the Dark off" 1997, Polydor. All in one breath, like almond milk. I go to the living room while cooking and let it flow from my beloved chubby twins while I cook. Rivo, know that I'm taking it out on you because you have a too nice helmet. Hi everyone.

... (and then I’ll finish it because I appreciate your work and your strictness with album ratings)
1) ni-com-pop is a simple introduction, it has a specific weight close to zero, have you ever tried listening to the album skipping it? every now and then do it, also with other albums, skip a track and see what the album tells you, it’s a good exercise.
2) don't think - fade to gray? but the tempo is different, the rhythm is different, the intervals are different, the female voice prevails while there it doubled the chorus, here there’s a draft of lyrics... BUT IN YOUR LIFE, of electronic music, HAVE YOU ONLY LISTENED TO FADE TO GREY? (and mouse on mars, which I don’t think you’ve listened to much). To me it reminds me a lot of Chihuaua! (and sorry for the h)
