David Byron Take No Prisoners

My God, what have you dug up! The album itself didn't completely meet my tastes, but it's a good work, and in any case, I give it an extra point just because we're talking about the legendary David Byron and especially for that gem "Man Full Of Yesterdays," a truly stunning song! As for the rest, I know about the not particularly friendly relations with Ken Hensley, but are you sure about what you wrote regarding John Wetton? I mean, as far as I know, it seems they got along quite well; at least, that's what I remember reading in the booklets of the Uriah Heep albums I own... Enlighten me! XD

I feel exactly the same way about Ace Frehley: the only true guitarist of Kiss! The album is really beautiful; I recognized his "touch" right away, it's unmistakable, especially in the solos! The cover of "Fox On The Run" by Sweet is also great (another band that deserves a rediscovery)!

I rate the book as a fantastic document of those years; as for the rest, everything the reviewer said is absolutely true and fully agreeable.

...even though I still have to listen to it, I don't think brevity is a flaw (in general): I'm fed up with albums that are an hour and a half long, so I believe I'll give it a short listen...

I'll dock you a grade just because you didn't mention that gem "Without You"! ;) ...otherwise, all my respect to Mark Gormley…!

Uriah Heep Raging Silence

I've listened to the album too superficially to allow myself to judge, but it seems to me a work that's too fluffy, inferior to "Abominog" and "Head First," perhaps their best efforts of the '80s... of course, without making comparisons to the unforgettable Byron era. Nonetheless, every time Uriah Heep is mentioned, it's never emphasized enough how underrated they have been: up until "Sweet Freedom," they released a series of truly landmark albums...!

Anne Rice Intervista col vampiro

Nice review, fortunately I haven't read the book! However, to be fair, between Polidori's "Vampire" and Bram Stoker's "Dracula," there’s that little gem which is Le Fanu's "Carmilla," from 1872, that perhaps somewhat inversely anticipates later developments: here we have an incredibly hot, cursed protagonist, yet still demonic and unstoppable, whose sentimental languors are merely bait and a facade to conceal her predatory nature. If you haven't read it yet, I definitely recommend it!
