supersoul

The little brat referred to in comments 8 and 11 has little chance of becoming a MAN. "If you pretended to read a piece of writing and didn't know who composed it, how much would you have rated it?" The point is that we do know who wrote this review, and it’s the same person who paid tribute to Lennon’s murderer who freed us from a criminal. It was an abomination that shouldn’t have been published because it has nothing to do with music, and I lashed out at the editors who, after a few days, covered their backs with a ridiculous disclaimer warning about the "repugnance" of the piece. If I had been the "responsible" person at Debaser, I would have kicked katarris in the ass, and not because I’m a fan of Lennon, to whom even you metalheads must acknowledge was one of the fathers of modern music we listen to today along with the Beatles. Personally, after around ninety reviews (quite appreciated, I’d say given the votes) and a passion for music that darkeheim can only dream of, I promised not to post any more reviews as long as cowardly and morally filthy "reviews" like that of katarris are available in the Debaser database. They haven’t removed the review, and katarris himself takes pride in it, since instead of being ashamed, he defended it. Therefore, since the word MAN still means something to me, I will no longer write reviews. Go darkhaem & katarris, Debaser is all yours!

Yes, it's true, the decision is up to them, there's no doubt about that, and perhaps the choice to publish it, as you say, is a reflection of these times. For me, it's a mistake that it remains prominently displayed, so that when someone clicks on John Lennon to see how his albums are judged, they are faced with an appreciation of his murderer as an honorable man and an incitement to murder as something good and right for all humanity. And what does it matter to be reassured by the fact that there's a disclaimer disassociating from it? I disassociate myself by not posting any more reviews until such bestiality is still given the level of review available in the Debaser database. Delete it.

geeeno thanks the editors "...for distancing themselves from words unworthy of a human." I do not thank them, for the simple reason that this was trash (let’s stop calling it a review) that should not have been published. Before we see the infamous little box pop up, they warn us that "Almost everything gets published. Some things do not get published: reviews that contain personal attacks on other users, those that are in clear violation of existing regulations, etc. This is decided unanimously by the editors." I wonder if a phrase like "Honor to the murderer of John Lennon. He freed us from a criminal" is in clear violation of existing regulations that (beyond the moral implications that should be enough) condemn the glorification of crime. I wonder if the editor who decided that this "review" was worthy of publication made the decision alone or if it was a result of unanimity. I would have greatly thanked them, not for the lecture added now, but if after publishing it they had realized the mistake and the fact that it is a writing unworthy of appearing on a music review site.

I’m not a fan of Lennon, but since embar77 mentioned him, I’d like to say a few words about the worthy action in favor of John Sinclair, of whom katarris the depressive surely knows jack squat. Sinclair was the manager, actually the creator, of the MC5, yes, the very same ones who did Kick Out the Jams, which is still an absolute live masterpiece today. In 1969, he offered two joints to a girl who turned out to be a plainclothes police officer and was sentenced to ten years (and sure, it’s true that in Iran he would have been executed, but we’re talking about the very civilized USA that protects human rights...) Thanks to the uproar promoted by Lennon and others, Sinclair got off because the Michigan anti-joint law was deemed unconstitutional. For me, an action like this earns Lennon the status of a man more than that of a blessed being; a review (?) like yours qualifies you as a beast.

this guy has serious identification problems, a bit like Woody Allen in "Take the Money and Run" troubled by the sexual meaning of the movement of the bow (the penis) on the cello (the female body) and instead of going vertically (penetration) it moves horizontally. The editors would partially remedy their mistake by removing it NOW from the homepage, this is an apology of crime. And then stop being afraid of hippies, damn it you look like the two rednecks in the pickup who in "Easy Rider" shoot Billy on his chopper...

Well done, cox, unfortunately giving a reductive view ear the intro of your review....

...and indeed, immediately after they expelled Pagani, who was guilty of having given a political imprint to their music.

Yes dear jargonking, but here we risk wanting to extract blood from turnips because if we follow your reasoning, at least 50% of rock bands are progressive. I remember that the same Fariselli (maybe Eliodoro can ask him for confirmation) recalling the beginnings of Aera pre-Cramps said that since it was the period of Italian success for Yes and Genesis, the record labels wanted the same approach from them and at first, the Area tried to adapt, but within the group there was a "revolt" that led them to play even more alternative jazz rock. In short, they never recognized themselves in progressive. After all, while the other Italians sang about Hans's carriages, happy planets and sad planets, and wizard gardens, the Area sang about September black portraying themselves on the cover with the keffiyeh, the hammer and sickle, and the P38 on the floor.

"The Area are the Italian Progressive group with a capital P" I completely disagree with this statement, and I fully agree with the definition by puntiniCAZpuntini in their review of this album made in 2004: more of a jazz rock fusion group than a progressive one (a bit like Ian Carr's Nucleus).

Listen to "paradise" and you'll realize that bands like Guns n' Roses are just fishing in abundance from the '70s. They were derivative too, but how they manage to combine the American lesson of Blue Cheer with the English one of Zeppelin... The reviewer is spot on regarding the substance.
