Ah, I had heard a song by these guys and mistaken it for the new single by A Perfect Circle...

And as usual, the debate Griffin vs. Simpson reopens... I'll give my quick opinion: for pure laughter, the Griffins do it better, but the satire of the Simpsons, especially in the quotes, is still unmatched. Even the most insignificant things in that cartoon hide a great joke behind them: Ingrandisci questa immagine (notice the writing on the arcade cabinet, and if you don't know the story of Polybius, look it up). I honestly don't care about the movie.

Not long ago, I noticed something; maybe I'm the last one to arrive and everyone else has already picked up on it. Mr. Self Destruct, the first track as everyone knows, begins after 23 seconds of sounds that seem, up close, like self-flagellation. Hurt, at the end, starts after 23 seconds of soft noise that almost resembles the silence left by a solitary death. The same track, after the actual end of the song, has a much louder coda that coincidentally returns to the soft noise at the opening... Exactly 23 seconds from the end of the actual track (from 5:53 to 6:16). Am I crazy, or does it mean something?

Well, honestly, what comes through from the book seems to me the most interesting topic to discuss. What other reasons are there to objectively judge a book? Plot, "screenplay," style, syntax? Perhaps, however, with Orwell (and in general with dystopian books), those aspects seem to take a back seat. The beauty of 1984, but also of his other bestseller Animal Farm, is precisely its timelessness more than its contemporaneity. You can exist in any era of human history, read the plot/meaning of the book, and you will surely smirk wryly thinking "it reminds me of something." In every era. Then I have a tired head; don't ask me to write more.

I've also read "mellotron" on this page. But is there any prog band that doesn't use it? Or are you forced to use it, is there like a census, an entrance exam? "Hey guys, so what do you play on this beautiful little record?" "Well, we do prog, uncle." "Oh, let me hear a bit [...] no guys, there's no mellotron, you can't say that, but if you want, I can put you under the death metal label, is that okay?"

One of the rare cases where "timeless" makes perfect sense. Especially for the content (unfortunately, though).

Yeah, I don't really care much about their lyrics because it's stale provocation (as I mentioned in the definition). I like the music, even though this album has a terrible production, even for the worst grind demo...

Every time I read certain names, I can't help but laugh thinking back to several years ago... And to realize that they are still around, too.

I take this review to tell fans who might not have heard: on September 14th, a graphical and free remake of this first chapter was released. They say it's also expanded, but I can't confirm since I've just started (even though the section on Xen is currently missing, but they claim they'll add and expand that too), but the revolution is mainly graphical. They also say you need HL2 installed, but I wouldn't know; I only had to install the sourceSDK2007, although thinking about it, I already had the 2 installed, so...
