EnacOid15-18 Banned

Look what I received by email for my damn review that they obviously won't publish, at this point, at my request... this site has really annoyed me: goodbye, I'm canceling! Long live freedom!
Dear de-user Mister DioCane 18-15,
I am writing to inform you regarding your de-narration about the Italic artist known as Mademoiselle Silvia also Salemi, which contains a phrase (near the end of the text) that is not exactly very nice directed towards Maik B(u)ongiorno, the national pop star [I quote it for completeness: "...the umpteenth gaffe from the biggest idiot on the cathodic tube..."] which, by the very nature of your generous Salemi legacy, is not only irrelevant from a critical-review perspective concerning the artist in question, but is also somewhat disrespectful towards the old and doubled Conducator Televisivo. This de-phrase could potentially become a source of "boredom" not only for you (dear writer) but also for the DeBaser context of music inscribing.
I would therefore dare to make you such a (obscene) proposal for publication: what would you say to agreeing to the removal and/or more graceful replacement of such (let me add) unfortunate de-scription?

how disgusting

Bleah

One of the most disgusting reviews I've ever read, and it includes those that are ungrammatical or just three lines long: there’s nothing but arrogance, pretentiousness, an inability to understand the musical trends of your time, dropping grandiose names just to seem cultured, firing off sentences about an album you didn’t understand one bit, criticizing lyrics you find pretentious... it feels like a review written by my great-grandfather who happened to listen to Nine Inch Nails in the '30s! What a shame! I won’t insult you, honestly, you don't even deserve it, just know that with close-minded minds like yours, you won't really get anywhere! You could have just said it made you sick; tastes are tastes. But the problem is you didn’t grasp a clue about the meaning of this work, so by writing a review, you’ve only sullied this page... it would have been better if you had just written "it sucks" on someone else's post, you would have looked smarter! By the way, have you ever happened to hear about industrial, the concept of the serial killer, existential nihilism, raw language, metaphors, lyrics that aren't necessarily personal, and above all "light music," which also means that one can write a song about a particular life condition without being one of the 5 greatest philosophers in the history of planet Earth?!?

Yes, alright, in fact every note that came out of that unplugged has an immense emotional depth, and in particular the verses of "Where did you sleep last night?", considering that shortly after Cobain would take his own life, send chills down my spine! Thanks for the additional information, donjunio. It’s clear that Mark seems to be a kind of source of inspiration for Cobain; the fact that the former has entered into legend while the latter is only in history is a matter of biography.

Ah, and I almost forgot the legendary Tad, music very similar to Nirvana (just listen to Delinquent to believe) with the only difference being that the singer wasn't a handsome blonde guy with a desperate look, but rather an angry, obese butcher, too uncommercial to end up on MTV (they refused to air a video of theirs precisely because of the singer's excessive weight, the great, in every sense, Tad Doyle!)

Great Oceansize, you mentioned the Screaming Trees, in my opinion the most interesting band to emerge from the Seattle scene, along with Soundgarden, also because: 1) they weren't from Seattle; 2) they were making music 10 years before grunge exploded. I recommend "Buzz Factory" to anyone talking about grunge. By the way, Mark Lanegan is the most enduring figure of that era, continuing on with his solo career and collaborating with Queens Of The Stone Age. Speaking of which, the well-known "Where did you sleep last night?" played by Nirvana in the famous Unplugged is a blues cover not taken from the original, but from the version that Mark Lanegan himself did on his solo album "The Winding Sheet" (beautiful), I believe from '90 or '91, additional recommendation! Just to say that the geniuses of that period were also others.

This album is incredibly important, an absolute masterpiece, and all the comments it sparks when discussed are proof of that. It is equally true that the judgment about the work is influenced by the biographical events of Kurt Cobain, who somewhat experienced the Jim Morrison effect. There are those who love him viscerally, considering Nirvana the only valid thing of the '90s (a foolish, arrogant, and ignorant statement). Then there are those who hate it, claiming that Nirvana technically sucked, that they wrote son-of-a-bitch lyrics, that they made repetitive songs and were commercial. On the other hand, it’s true that a few years ago I read a ranking of the best guitarists in history, and Cobain was placed among the top 5 for his innovative contribution: all fine, but that Cobain was a great guitarist, well, that’s evident to everyone! I trust my ears, and "Nevermind" is an album that simply gives me chills every time and sounds fresh, even though many years have passed since its release... that's it! It's emotional music, simple but that passes the test of time! In songs like "Come as you are," "On a plain," "Lithium," "Smells like teen spirit," and "Lounge act," there must be some particular magic formula locked inside that keeps them from sounding stale; on the contrary, they capture you every time: perhaps that something is the very soul of those who wrote them, as was also the case with "About a girl." Then again, as Sanjuro says, the musical direction of Nirvana didn’t lead anywhere, and if Cobain hadn’t shot himself, he would have hardly produced other memorable things, given that the style was repetitive and already some experimentation on "In Utero" seemed like commercial suicide and more... maybe he would have been elected the new Lennon in his lifetime (even though the comparison was made post-mortem), and they would have softened him, turning him into a placid multinational icon like Bono Vox, or he would have made albums for a few cats, only remembering the glories of the past, who knows... better not to imagine if that day he hadn’t pulled that trigger and leave the myth intact! (ps. the review started well but bored me towards the end)

Yes Nick: a wonderful, imaginative description of what this album truly represents for someone who has listened to R.E.M. for a lifetime and who, in my case, approached MUSIC for the first time with them. Yes, I see myself in a venue with Peter, who I considered my best friend, realizing that we simply have nothing in common anymore. We grew up together but now he has become bourgeois and his attention is only on his family, his job, the stocks he has invested in: he talks to me about economics, politics, practical matters, and with that wise-man look says, "you're still too young, one day you'll understand"... meanwhile, I’m there saying silly things, making stupid jokes about the waiter with greasy hair, talking about yet another woman who's made me lose my mind, all the nonsense I still want to do, the dreams I stubbornly chase. At the word "dream," he shakes his head: at a certain age, you get tired of dreams! Maybe he's the one who has aged too quickly, maybe it's me who doesn’t want to grow up, but we no longer resonate on the same wavelength... well, we'll see each other again sooner or later, in some place, in some time... for now, goodbye! Anyway, great Nick: Fight Club is among my favorite films and Find The River is one of the 5 most important songs of my life! Honor to you!

Ah... I almost forgot... I give you a one because I don't agree with a SINGLE thing you've written, also because for me this album is a real stab to the heart, a love that has ended, a betrayal, which only a fan who has loved them for almost 15 years can understand... after all this time, an album like this is like catching your longtime girlfriend getting screwed by ten black guys... I hope that image gets the point across! As for the rest, the review is still well written, don't misunderstand me... on this site, there are countless reviews written by illiterates, so for the style, I would give you a 3 or even a 4, but I just can't because the ideas expressed are not at all aligned with reality in my opinion.
