Neurosis A Sun That Never Sets

Blackdog has its own reviewing style that is almost seemingly 'dichotomous' and challenging to read. Whether or not one likes it is another matter. In my opinion, the review has a rather dramatic 'apocalyptic' impact, which is why I enjoyed it; rating: 4.84. I am not familiar with the album, but it seems interesting even though it's not exactly my genre; nonetheless, if I get the chance, I will try to listen to it. I also take this opportunity to 'signal you out' as a master commentator, because your comments, although often not easy to read and interpret due to the 'multilingual' language, never fail to bring a smile to my face, and that sometimes is better than a nice review for me. Greetings post-( ), the space has been intentionally left blank for whatever term one wishes to insert.

Greetings to everyone.
To the ever-polite Eliodoro, Mr. Macaco, Jake (jazz) Chambers, Omahacekeb, and the always charming Terry (oh! oh!).
@Omahaceleb, your comments are never useless, let alone ‘dirtying’ the discussion, so it's always a pleasure for me.
On this occasion, I wanted to present and review an art book, although I must admit that it wasn't easy at all.
Perhaps in the future, I will propose another great painter, but I will try to present him in a completely different way...
Graphic greetings.

Well done Mr. Macaco, original review, well done and also very clear.
The publishing house Adelphi always offers particularly interesting works, especially in the scientific section.
From what 'comes through' from your writing, you might be interested in the book "Divina Invasione" by Dick.
Of course, it’s not his most thrilling book, and at times I found the writing more complex than expected, but the topics covered are still valid today.
I wanted to read the book you mentioned, but then I opted for "La fine della Scienza" by J. Horgan, also published by Adelphi, an interesting and well-written book.
Science, but also all other disciplines (in my opinion and not just mine), have no limits; in fact, when they are reached, new ones are created, and this is fantastic but also disconcerting.
Your nickname is also emblematic (if I may), some time ago I happened to read in a magazine that the difference between monkey and man is minimal; indeed, man uses only a small percentage more of his brain... and woman, in turn, uses a certain percentage more of her brain than man.
I therefore agree with what you write in the last lines about Yin, but too much intuitiveness, receptivity, and sensitivity can often lead to greater suffering... what to do? At this point, I wouldn’t know how to respond to you.
Perhaps now I should remain silent.
Silent greetings.

Editors, could you please correct "azzura" to "azzurRa" in the first line of the fourth paragraph? Best regards to Mr. Dr. Eliodoro.

Thank you all for the comments.
A shout-out to Telespalla, Mr. Dr. Eliodoro, and Master Psycho for his comment no. 7 (bëlo).
I read "Ritorno dall'Aldilà" (In Senso Inverso) and I find it simply incredible!
Dick was (and still is) a brilliant writer, all of his novels present unique ideas and perhaps his strength was also because he wrote in a not particularly complex way (excluding some of his novels like "Divina Invasione," "Valis," and "La trasmigrazione di Timothy Archer").
This has been a good thing (in my opinion) because it allowed (and allows) everyone, both young and old, to read his books.
@Psycroptic, I read "Universo Incostante" a few years ago and was pleasantly satisfied; it's an excellent, sweeping novel with many interesting ideas, a true galactic epic.
@Iside, I didn’t know that.
In the future, I’ll try to review (time permitting) some of his other books, perhaps lesser-known but still fascinating, because he truly deserves it, and there’s one in particular that is close to my heart.
A thank you and a shout-out (as always) to our dear Editors.
Now I’m off to enjoy a... “Ubik instant has the strong aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Your husband will say: 'Christ, Sally! I thought your coffee was terrible, but now! It’s the bomb. Harmless if used according to the instructions” (Ubik advertisement in chapter 3).
Best regards, Ubikui.

Rightly, we also need the 'critique,' as usual, well done Hell, but you probably don’t even need me to tell you anymore, you already know. I would also like to 'create' some critiques myself, especially of a few books—actually, there would be many (periodical) unfortunately. In the end, however, I can never manage to write even half of one! Minimalist greetings.

Thank you for the comments.
@Jake, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the comic you mentioned, but since I trust your recommendations, I will try to get it (as much as possible).
Best wishes, Uraniato, and I wish everyone a good continuation.

Thank you all.
@Tomgil, it depends a bit on the books; in some cases, I can read with a musical background (at a low volume, of course!), while in other cases, I can’t, because it becomes impossible for me.
A cyber greeting to everyone.

Editors, is it possible to correct "un" to "UNA" in the first line of the third paragraph? Thank you!

Here I am for you too, Giona, very nice review.
I've heard of this writer many times but I haven't read anything yet.
Since you liked this, I believe you'll also appreciate "The Earthsea Cycle" by Ursula K. Le Guin; I've read the first three books.
Best 'apprentice'™ wishes.
