I too ended up with a cat: my grandfather went hunting and shot, thinking it was a wild animal, but it was the cat. In the end, what could he do but invite all the relatives over for lunch and serve us "a roasted rabbit with an unusual flavor"?..:-DDDDDDDDDDD

Finished with "The History of Rock"

It had been since the days of the Supremes that we heard such well-made Pop music: for them, I give the highest rating.

The Spyro Gira? Strange, I know a group with that name, but they are from the '90s and play Smooth Jazz/Fusion (it's the band featuring saxophonist Jay Beckerstein, a true master of his instrument). But I didn't know there was also a homonymous '70s Prog band. Well done, Supersoul...

Without a doubt! Personally, I appreciated a certain Goth Metal from the '90s, a particular kind of Gothic offered by bands like Theater of Tragedy or some works by Type O Negative (who propose an "archaic" Doom/Gothic, and for me are the best in this field). But among the latest Gothic bands that emerged in the last 10 years, I really don’t know who stands out; I consider them the worst of Metal alongside Nu Metal bands: you must agree with me that the Gothic Metal scene of recent years is truly unthinkable!.. I don’t know about you, but among the younger crowd, my favorite band is Evanescence: they have a more commercial, more melodic Gothic sound and sometimes even pop influences; without passing as "alternative" or "underground," they are a band that has, in my opinion, proposed some decent things, superior to the abominations of Lacuna Coil, Lunatica, Sentenced, and many others (and certain slow tracks like "My Immortal" and "Hello" are really beautiful).

Wonderful reception!

Immense album, "Nine feet underground" one of the most beautiful prog tracks and not only. 5 with eyes closed.

The Finnish band Enochian Crescent repeatedly demonstrated their self-destructive and truly nihilistic tendencies, murderous, satanic, culminating in a concert shut down by law enforcement and numerous arrests - which threatened to dissolve the band - caused by the way the singer Victor presented that performance: he calmly bit off a significant piece of flesh from his right arm.

<<These four butt-pissing guys are the most cringeworthy thing metal has ever produced in over 30 years of honorable career.>> Now let's not exaggerate. Manowar clearly doesn't know what to do anymore; it's evident that in the last 10 years (except maybe for "Warriors of the World," which is nice), they have deeply declined and that these releases are just ways to make money. But let's not forget that the albums up to "The Triumph of Steel" are all of excellent quality, not to mention that they were the band that created Epic Metal. They made the purest Epic; all the other bands that can be called "Epic" hybridize with Power (so an Epic-Power Metal: see Blind Guardian and Stratovarious), while Manowar have always played Epic-Heavy Metal, the purest, primal one, born directly from the NWOBHM (DeMayo was well aware of this movement, which didn't yet exist in Germany and Scandinavia since he found himself at various concerts, including the Heaven and Hell Tour). Ross the Boss was, for me, one of the most virtuous and skilled metal guitarists of the '80s. In short, to say that they've been the most cringeworthy thing produced by metal is, for me, blasphemy: if they are the worst, what do we call Lacuna Coil, Lunatica, Korn, and all that Gothic and Nu Metal stuff??

Great review. I know the "White Album," so I'll take your word for it. LonglivetoBeatles!
