"My favorite singer is LaBrie," there you go. You are the living proof of the irreparable damage that listening to Dream Theater can cause.

Well, it's definitely smoother than that of the Ramones. If I may, pay attention to the mistakes ("un altro" without an apostrophe, "un interessantissimo" likewise, "po'" and not "pò," "ci fa capire CIò A CUI andremo incontro," etc.) and to the repetitions (band band band...). Avoid too many exclamation points and catchphrases (like "Guys, ..."). Also, Italian is a beautiful language, so why all this song, track, refrain, and company? I've given you some advice; then, of course, it’s up to you to see if it can be useful.

Ah, finally a breath of fresh air in a rather foul-smelling hp. I'm also looking for this super, given the appreciation for your latest proposals (I left you a comment on the Trees as well).

Well, we really needed this. By the way, this is the seventh review of this album. You did a really useful job, ihsahn, congratulations.

<< Someone who writes to me "..your introduction is so boring, the track by track is pointless for a punk band.." really gets on my nerves because those are useless comments..if you don't want to read the introduction, read something else..>> but for God's sake, what are you talking about? Thinking like you, should we give 5 to all reviews? Can't you understand? Look, this is how it works: you write a review and we have the right to express our judgment. We didn't like the review for certain reasons, and that's that. You must have had your reasons for doing the introduction that way, etc., I don't doubt it, but the result was still not positive. If I start painting, I might use certain colors for a very specific reason, but that doesn't mean the painting will turn out well just because I had a reason to do it that way. I understand you wanted to convey how you approached this genre, but that’s something that shouldn’t be in a review, at least not in this form. I hope it’s clear because it feels like talking to someone who doesn’t want to understand. Regarding the track by track, in most cases, it’s a terrible way to review, especially when there are many songs like in this case. The reasons? Because it’s super boring, it’s poorly written, it’s repetitive (you keep saying “the next piece,” “the following track,” the guitar does this, the drums do that, etc.) and above all, it’s USELESS. Reviewing an album does not mean doing a minute-by-minute description; nobody cares. The purpose of a review is not this; the important thing is to provide an overview of what you’re reviewing, a brief and incisive description of the product as a whole, to express some of your opinions or feelings, to entice or not to listen, etc. You say you can’t get more than 20 lines like this? But 20 lines are perfectly fine! There are thousands of reviews on this site that are not track by track, so don’t come telling me that reviews can only be done this way. And anyway, you can talk about the songs by incorporating them into a more articulated discourse, without making a shopping list. I realize it’s more challenging, but nobody ever said writing a review is easy; if you don’t have great talent, it’s not enough to just sit down and jot down a few lines. << Then I don’t understand one thing: why should a 16-year-old have a lesser culture than a 40-year-old?? If I have listened to all good music until now (you know the genres by now), unlike someone who has only listened to pop music, light music, and love songs, why shouldn’t I know something more than him??? >> Honestly, it’s mind-boggling that you don’t understand. Of course, you know more music than my father, who has never listened to it. But I’m not talking about a random 50-year-old, that's clear. To be precise, I’m talking about the user SUPERSOUL (is that clear?), who is not << someone who has only heard pop music, light music, and love songs >> but actually has decades of listening to a different kind of music. If you took the time to read his pages, you would realize that (and you’d also get an idea of how to write an excellent review without a track by track), and maybe you’d avoid making unfounded judgments. A little humility for God’s sake!

I only know them by name, I think I should make up for it from the way you talk about them. Beautiful page.
