Lenny Kravitz 5

Voto:

Self-indulgent, sycophantic, and obsessive "fan" reviews are never great reviews. As for Kravitz, his best work was on Let Love Rule and Mama Said.

Years ago, I listened to the second release of these Master's Hammer. The title was The Filemnice's Occultist. Recorded and produced in a truly "low budget" way and moreover quite muddied, with dry sounds and artifacts. Some decent ideas but an overall impression that becomes less convincing. The classic case of taking a step too far and falling. Apparently, this "The Ritual" is much better.

I stopped following them just when, due to what I fear is trendy stuff, they started to be the new Depeche Mode, sounding quite false and affected. The review is excellent.

Simo86, I was NOT addressing you, but rather the author of the review.

Little chubby... if you want to start being an adult, you need to learn to accept criticism and let go of a bit of the blinding fanaticism. If everyone who -with good reason- criticizes you and those pampered kids is a pathetic being... well... the conversation ends up being cut short by the childishness and inability to engage of the person who "signed" the review.

What a lovely attempt to resurrect a ghastly marketing experiment that, it must be said, managed to fool quite a few young girls back then. I hope that this time this dubious resurrection does not deceive anyone, justly letting this band of clueless fools sink into quiet oblivion.

Have you ever thought about the fact that so-called Adult Oriented Rock - and I'm not specifically referring to this album - usually has the most CHILDISH and superficial instrumental attitude as well as lyrics in the entire rock scene, especially considering when it was so "baptized"??? It's truly a paradoxical contradiction, if you notice. The review is interesting, regardless of this musing.

I have their first work, the somewhat raw but interesting Hymns to the Stone. Not bad at all, really... and in fact, I've been looking for their second album for a while, along with the promising The Acid Elephant Ep. Great review.

Van Halen Van Halen

Self-indulgent and shallow review. I listened to the album some time ago, along with others from the band... but it seems to me essentially a very superficial hard rock, very polished, very skin-deep and with a pop spirit. Nothing essential, nothing everlasting, especially considering the well-known guitarist's onanistic virtuosism.

Iceburn Hephaestus

Ah, Iceburn, what a collective!! Alas, I haven't really listened deeply to Hephaestus - and I promise to do so - but I can certainly say that it's an important and high-quality record. Personally speaking, I tend to prefer Power of the Lion (remarkable), rather than Poetry of Fire. Polar Bear Suite is also very much appreciated. However, I haven't had the chance to listen to FireOn and Meditavolutions yet, but knowing the musical goodness of the collective...
