A good proposal, also described here in a way that is too brief and schematic.

Welcome to Debaser. The proposal is interesting even if it was described a bit hastily, as if you had to say something under a timer. Anyway, well done.

What can I say, the presentation is very special with a different perspective. The typical themes of the story are still narrated, and the review is not written poorly. So the overall judgment is positive. Regarding the book, personal opinions remain, and as far as I'm concerned, they are also thumbs up.

After over a year and a half, someone votes on this review, simply fantastic. The ideal tribute to an immortal album (which I also believe is better than "Closer," of course that one is also 5 stars).

This first album is certainly good, but "Nightfall" is definitely better. Nevertheless, Candlemass are absolutely great.

Vinyl has a charm that CDs cannot possess. Buying everything again in vinyl, maybe not, but a few rare (or special) records in that format should not be missed.

Welcome back, I don't know the book but I'm interested.

As usual, when certain topics are touched upon, people fill their mouths with rhetoric and various nonsense. Here we are not talking about politics in a broad sense but about an ideology, thus a structure of thought. Music has often been a weapon for spreading a political thought or a crude propaganda (this relates to all arts, starting with cinema which was born in this country FOR propaganda. "Cinema is the strongest weapon," this slogan adorned the studios of Cinecittà at their opening in the presence of Mussolini). There are groups that have used politics in a more ironic way than as a true manifestation of thought (I think of CCCP; after all, their real message was another. Otherwise, there’s no way they would have written songs like "Morire" or "Emilia Paranoica") or those who want to explicitly express an opinion (I think of a band like Janus, who included a Celtic symbol in their album "Al Maestrale," a symbol that, at the time of the album's release, was starting to appear at demonstrations of the extra-parliamentary right). The problem, perhaps, is not talking about politics in a song or an album. The problem lies in the fact that to achieve such an objective, slogans are shouted and certain phrases or songs are used casually (I think of the cowardly use of "Bella Ciao" by certain bands, without conveying the real value of that piece. Because many sing it but often don't know what the Resistance was, something I find very sad and at the same time worrying). Here lies the boundary. When certain buttons are pressed, one must have the dignity and the means to touch them; unfortunately, such qualities do not belong to everyone, even if many attribute them to themselves.

I haven't read the book in question, but I have read "Q" by Wu Ming, and it's wonderful. Try to get your hands on it; it's definitely worth it.

Philip Dick, a brilliant writer. Unfortunately, at times his works have been used for mediocre films.
