Ron Fricke Samsara

Here Fricke reiterates more or less the same discourse/journey as Baraka, his true masterpiece, which in turn was already reminiscent of the numerous (and at that time innovative) visual suggestions of Koyaanisqatsi, made with Godfrey Reggio. The style seems a bit too crystallized and the result less shocking, but it remains a great visual experience, certainly something of a certain level.

Timeless classic.

Like every other Żuławski film I've seen, one viewing was not enough for me to "understand it" (quotes mandatory). All I can say is that I remember it as sick, twisted, hysterical, and that the opening scene is terrifying. I'll watch it again when the time is right.

It had been a long time since I left the cinema so satisfied and mesmerized, with the little hamster in my head racing wildly on its wheel.

Sepultura Roots Bloody Roots

A group fallen from grace after (or rather, starting from) Roots. The trilogy Schizophrenia - Beneath the Remains - Arise remains a must, Chaos A.D. is no longer my kind of thing, but I respect it anyway. Roots, I don’t know. Never understood it. The rest is sludge.

Death To All Live Rock'n'Roll Arena

Unpopular opinion incoming: for me, The Sound of Perseverance, Schuldiner's testament, is one of the most overrated albums in metal. I can’t seem to like it, aside from a couple of tracks here and there. The best Death for me remains primarily the brutal ones from Leprosy, followed by the avant-garde Symbolic and Human in the rest of the podium. Page spakkkaossa, though.

Opeth Sorceress

Voto:

I have fluctuating impressions about this album. Initially, it seemed to me a notch better than Pale Communion (and therefore the best of the three after the stylistic "turn"), perhaps due to the heaviness of certain moments, but ultimately, the same Pale Communion, while still well below their standards, proves to be more enduring and balanced. This, on the other hand, has a patchwork effect that doesn’t play in its favor. It lacks cohesion, an overall vision that encourages you to listen to it in its entirety, which drives me to revisit the usual three or four tracks while leaving the rest in limbo. Where are these Opeth trying to go?

@[serenella], thank you so much, I usually write about much more trivial things! :P but this time I wanted to take a bit of a risk... I see that some long-time users have also stopped by, which makes me happy! A greeting to everyone! <3

I don't think I can call myself a fan of squeaky clean voices: I adore Björk, love Ringo Shiina, worship Newsom, etc., but Yorke keeps reminding me of the yowls my old cat makes when he wants his food at 4 in the morning. Nevertheless, every now and then I give it another shot, because you never know, maybe I've missed something along the way... and indeed this album is not bad and didn't give me excruciating colitis. Unlike the previous The King of Limbs, which, as far as I'm concerned, is unpresentable.
