A record of terrifying intensity. And with an insane sound, it turns the typical lo-fi sound into a form of art, with songs (of the highest compositional levels) that hit you in the gut immediately, without any filter. In short, an absolute masterpiece. Lately I've been revisiting the third one, which didn’t excite me on the first listen: another great record as well. I need to check out the fourth one; I've read from some that it might not be on the same level as the first three.

Nothing to do with the debut, the only Verdena album that was an absolute disappointment for me (I even sold it), really too raw and immature especially in the composition. They completely changed direction with "Solo un Grande Sasso" (their evolution starts there), a great record with stretched out tracks and strong Motorpsycho influences, and they reached maturity with this one, which truly churns out many tracks that at a compositional level literally "eat" the debut. Certainly not their best album overall, but the one I feel most connected to along with the previous one. For their best and most complete work, I would have to choose among the three after this one, and it’s not easy.

The track by track, as always, is quite a tedious task (I can't think of a more boring way to review an album), but all in all, it's a nice review, 4 for encouragement. The album is one of my favorites from that era of American rock (although I must say the eponymous one is just as great). When I listen to them again, I always find them more "psychedelic," with those trademark hypnotic litanies.

The original idea of a Best of with unreleased tracks (and from what you write, not with second-tier pieces, quite the opposite, so not a bonus disc just to sell the best of better). As for them, as I told you some time ago, I tried to listen to something (including Silent Cry, if I’m not mistaken) but they didn’t impress me much, maybe I’ll listen to a few tracks from this best to give them another chance.

Well, but (also) "Pop" has always been that way, both with Porcupine Tree and as a solo artist. I need to listen to the album more carefully (although I’d give it a 4 for now), but all these differences that seem to be trumpeted from all sides, insisting that he made a "Pop" album, I just don't see them (aside from "Permanating," which didn’t leave me exactly enthusiastic), but because, I repeat, it has always been "pop." The first 5 tracks, for example, are beautiful, but I don’t understand what’s so different from the Wilson we know.

I even saw it in the bookstore, after you hinted at your intention to write a review about it. It really attracts me, but I haven't read any books about him yet; maybe it's better to start with a chronological biography, we'll see. He's one of my all-time favorites, all five of his albums are masterpieces, and as for his guitar, well, there’s nothing to say, just to listen.

Mmm, but it’s probably just a "taking-the-piss" review not to be taken seriously, I mean, just the fact that it identifies as the problem in the voice of one of the worst bands ever is laughable.

One of the few of theirs that I don't know, and that I don't think I'll recover (I wasn't crazy about Demon Box either) I agree with the three commenters above: from Timothy's Monster onwards (not just until Trust Us, they've also made great albums after that like Black Hole/Blank Canvas, Let Them Eat Cake, Still Life with Eggplants, Here be Monsters). Great review for the Dark Side of De Ma.

Strange Review. I first listened to Metz with "II" and I was quite disappointed; I remember that some critics were praising them, even making comparisons to "In Utero" by Nirvana and talking about shoegaze influences. What struck me instead was the truly poor songwriting; the sound was there, but the songs were missing.
