I liked the review, although that introduction (it gives me a bit of "Yes, it's the fourth review, but don't bother me") and the "demographic" data of the album could have easily been skipped. Speaking of the record, well... it’s my favorite Depeche Mode album, poignant, dark, and at the same time easily digestible—truly a little gem. Hello everyone and have a good evening!

Well, it's truly a nice piece of writing, congratulations! I haven't read the book and I think I'll make sure to get a copy. Hello everyone and have a good evening.

Stunning review, it blends passion and analytical description of the tracks wonderfully, while being easy to read (which is always a plus) despite its length. The album is beautiful, Opeth is really an exceptional band, emotional, technical, and aggressive, with Akerfeldt always in top form; I also follow him with Bloodbath! Hello everyone and have a great day.

I like the album; it's certainly less sophisticated and powerful compared to the masterpieces of the past, but for me, it's a good classic American rock album. Hi everyone and have a good evening.

I agree with Casamorta; the review is a bit confusing, but overall for me it’s good. I need to listen to this work, but the fact that there’s a drum machine worries me a bit (not because I’m a metalhead or someone who hates electronics), because I believe that the use of it could hinder the technical aspect typical of techno thrash. However, I will listen first and then come back to give a clearer judgment. Hello everyone and have a good evening.

Objective and balanced review, I haven’t had the pleasure of listening to the album yet, but judging by the tracks, it should be very nice! As for the usual controversy about "fake" reunions (an infinitely boring discussion, as useful as a kick in the ass and as thin as a pin), what can be said? Well… music is a job ("there are tough and pure artists who eat shit and drink piss to promote their indie, proto-drum and bass, techno punk proposal!”, yeah, sure, let’s drink Red Bull and wait for flying donkeys, then we can go see the strippers) and those who do it aim for compensation (nobody does anything for free!), the important thing is that the product is good and satisfies the fans, that’s all! Litfiba, like any other band, can be liked or not, so for me, the argument is simple: those who didn’t like the Florentine band will likely still hate it now (in fact, they will ignore live performances and reunions), while those who liked them will joyfully listen to this live album and will look forward to the new record, which may also disappoint them; nothing is written and nothing is 100% predictable. Hello everyone and have a nice day.

Sorry Nes, I'm curious: I didn't understand well, but have you become an editor? Hi everyone, and one last thing for the poor reviewer: don’t even think about reviewing I&W by DT, or your inbox will automatically send itself a virus to self-destruct!

I didn't really like the review; it seemed to me like one of the many takedowns of the well-known "Load" and "Re-load" by Metallica. I'm going to swim against the tide, but in the end, "Dr. Stein" (thanks for the link, Il Freddo) didn't seem all that horrible to me, a scandal, an offense to the poor beaten metalhead, or some kind of sin against the Metal god (and then we say De Maio is obsessed!), it's a fun, jovial piece that I would have loved to see as a bonus track on some new album or in some re-release. Of course, an entire album like this, especially at that price, seems a bit excessive; maybe a free digital version would have been better. Hello everyone and have a great day.

What I meant by "defending" was this: if a user writes a terrible review and the whole site mocks him, he has to deal with it on his own, without taking it out on, say, the editors for not correcting it and for deciding to publish it. I certainly did not mean to say that you were defending someone; I must have expressed myself poorly, and now I hope my thoughts are clearer. Hello everyone and have a good day.

Well, I was convinced that everything was published (there are even poorly written reviews that have still been posted on the site and received their share of criticism), and then it was up to the user to "defend themselves" from criticism, insults, and so on. Regarding the insults, I was making a more general statement (compared to other situations, your argument with Bartleboom was at a level of schoolchildren), in the end, we are talking about music and ways of writing, light topics after all! Hello everyone and have a good day.
