Dr.Adder

Good review, rating 4.45 (periodical), excellent curiosities about the group.
I got (physically) this double LP bundled in a CD a few weeks ago for a few euros (at the fair I got it for two euros... well, I let myself get carried away too much with my hands on the keyboard) and I must say it’s very valid, although personally I don’t feel like rating it a 5 (stars or starlets) at the moment.
Anyway, it’s still a work of value, even if at times it seems a bit too exaggerated in terms of rhythms and sounds.
Great covers too, especially that of "In a Different Climate," original and paradoxical. Very "slyly," I flipped the booklet and inserted it in the CD packaging just so I can look at it... hehehe!
Regards, Mallardiani.

Thank you too, supervai1986, for stopping by these parts (virtually, I mean). Guitar greetings to you as well.

So... the review is well done, rating 3.9 (magazine).
Film rating 3.7.
Even though I don't agree with you on your opinion about the film, still, it doesn't seem fair to belittle your writing.
For me, it's not a masterpiece, but it remains an important work, for better or worse; that's why you wrote a review about it.
Maybe at this point, you would have been better off not giving any stars, don't you think?
If 2001 and L'invasione degli Ultracorpi (though for me the best version is the one with D. Sutherland) have different characteristics, why mention them?
The comparison with Laurel and Hardy seems like a faulty meta-analogy.
Which film hasn't taken some inspiration from Metropolis... even the great Blade Runner did.
GS falls into the Eroic-Fantasy (sci-fi) category that was "thriving" during the golden age of science fiction novels. Writers like Hamilton, Williamson, and others are the very ones GS drew inspiration from, if not greatly copied.
Let's not forget that Lucas later embarked on a remarkable film, namely The Man Who Fell to Earth based on the novel by B. Bova, THX 1138 (I have the book, but I haven't read it yet).
Perhaps it would have been better if GS had been a bit less successful; it definitely had too much success.
This is the story, the one that "drowns" great films like The Man Who... and "elevates" decent ones.
Of course, re-evaluating GS now, it no longer seems to be the film it once was. What do we do, average the memory of the past/present of the film... I don't know.
We can't forget the incredible (for those times) special effects, the settings, and even the performances, especially that of H. Ford, who, not by chance, a few years later would act in BR (even if in a cold and detached manner).
It certainly could have been a "better" film, but let's not forget who the target audience was.
The mistake was in the three most recent films, as they were not renewed and adapted to the new times, only to the future ones. Lucas just wanted to create sequels, aiming even more for a younger audience (basically, a product for classic families).
Of course, risking all that capital to create a conceptually more complex product could have put a strain on an economically powerful individual like Lucas.
It's a pity, though.
There is still much to discuss, but my neural batteries are running low.
Best regards, Polettiani.

Make no mistake, I'm not implying that PT "suck totally"... mumble I see the word totally but wait, you like Toto, come on admit it, muhahaha! Anyway, regarding PT, you have a point even though you kinda exaggerated (in my opinion), this album is definitely not a 2 but at least a 3.49. Cheers Porcupineati.

@telespalla ok!, here in the jury they tell me that you are on the right "path" to become a 'prog master'.
PS: do you happen to possess the gift of ubiquity or do you have a series of computers connected in parallel? I find you in every review, heheheh!
Instrumental regards.

Valid review, rating 4.2 (periodical).
Nice cover (it even rhymes!).
For the rest, I trust (periodically?) the 'masters' prog Giona and telespalla regarding the album's rating.
Okay! Now I’m off, goodness... I think I've lost track of the 'masters' prog, I can't remember if there were 5 or 6... Oh well!
Instrumental regards.

I don't know... I don't want to read this review, I don't want to know about the new Indy movie... I just want to keep remembering the final images of Indiana Jones and the Last (sigh!) Crusade.
Sigh regards,

Mumble...very beautiful review, actually one of the best I've read lately.
Well done Supervai, review score 4.99.
I don't think the album is for my "neural-auditory" apparatus in slow but constant structural decay...
Not a bad cover even if (in my opinion) it could have been done better.
Supersaluti.

Thanks to Roby86 for stopping by (virtually I mean) and also to Mr. BlackDog for his "nitpicky" comments; it seems he's an expert on mistakes, huh? Oops! Sorry, but here in the control room they inform me that the correct name is BlackDog (but ClockDog wasn’t a bad nickname). Periodic greetings.

As always, a nice, friendly, and smooth review, rating 4.2. Good job Anatas. The album seems quite interesting, and the cover is beautiful with that emerald green. Regards, FolkMetallizzati.
