Post 59 from oleeinar is truly frame-worthy. It’s the coming out of those who have freed themselves from the "provincialism" of the progressive scene limited to those three or four hugely praised names and have discovered so many other gems from that period (and even earlier), perhaps smiling at the thought of how foolish they were to limit themselves to giving 5 stars non-stop to Genesis. P.S. Ole, give a listen to Nektar's "Remember the Future" (1973) or "A Tab in the Ocean" (1972).

an opportunity thrown down the drain, a flat film, made of extraordinary landscapes but lacking in substantive subversion. The terrible conditions of the poor miners or the lepers are conveyed in a postcard-like manner. The journey from boyhood to manhood, the awakening of political consciousness is presented rather feebly. The review suffers from the same effect as the film. For me, it’s a mediocrely sufficient film (can we say that?)

And what do you know then that these other great rock phenomena like Muse "anally violate without lube all the other songs that play on MTV put together and multiplied by 2"? Are you a psychic?

Of course, seeing an album like Selling by Genesis ultra-sentient through the ages explained once again minute by minute (..crescendo entry of the snare, transition from the right hand to the left, etc.) I personally find it to be a dull drag. On the other hand, semi-unknown albums like the first one by the exceptional Phish are now summarized in three words on the homepage...oh well!

Ah, now everything is clear, the reviewer is an MTV consumer shouting LAIF IS NAU... Everything is clear now.

Rather exceptional group, I would say almost always around a 4 leaning towards a 5 in live albums in the style of Morto Riconoscente with improvised jams of the studio tracks taken to the limit. Just listening to one piece by Phish is enough to understand that they are of an entirely different mental and musical (and technical) fabric compared to the oxidizing junk.

Of course, you learn a lot on this site; for example, Starblazer opened our eyes by saying that Ozzy Osbourne is a mediocre heavy metal singer compared to the trained dog Blaze Bailey. Meanwhile, the_dull_flame made us realize that Yoko Ono's screeching has nothing to envy to the stratospheric (she's exceptional live) voice artist Diamanda Galas. But I also want to share my discovery that Gianna Nannini's version of "Me and Bobby McGee" is definitely superior to Janis Joplin's decent one.

Yeah, wandering around shopping malls shouting LAIF IS NAU isn’t good for the brain and ends up being described as horrifying, a cover without knowing a damn thing about what’s behind it. The album title is SABOTAGE with those nice fiery red letters because Ozzy and the gang were taking aim at the Warner Bros. managers who tried to screw them over, and that’s why their reflections in the mirror are not from behind, but always facing forward. In "The Writ", they repeatedly attack them: "What kind of people do you think we are? Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you...You bought and sold me with your lying words...All of the promises that never came true". Starblazer reduces everything to Ozzy's platform shoes and Bill Ward's red underpants = LAIF IS NAU!

Here are the fresh little wankers from the supermarket and "life is now" who even insult the cover by decontextualizing it from the era that is 1975, in letters millenovecentosettantacinque!!! When max coats and platform shoes were in fashion. But I ask: there are so many new metal bands today churning out albums like crazy, so why the hell don't those pimple-faced brats review them instead of annoying us with our beloved records that we bought and absorbed on the day they were released?

The wrong song titles are the price to pay for downloading tracks........ to me, Biffy Clyro give off the vibe of early Supergrass but less angry.
