Nice review, I liked the idea of bringing back a demo! As for the statement about extreme metal and Venom, well, I don't quite agree with your view; in fact, aside from Slayer, other bands that come to mind are much more extreme than good old Cronos' band and predate Death, like Sodom or the great Mercyful Fate (as far as I know, Chuck Schuldiner also mentioned the latter as one of his influences). Hello everyone and have a good evening.

I still haven't listened to the album (except for a few tracks that I really liked), so I'll vote later. I like the review and I find Darkthrone's new direction truly exciting, fresh in its retro vibe and damn enjoyable. Hello everyone and have a good evening.

I like your review; you write well, and what I appreciate the most is that you present common texts and even those from stalls or offer bins without destroying or ridiculing them just because they are not very "intellectual." As for the book in question, I don't know it, and I don't think I'll read it because I'm a bit skeptical about these "guides" (I put it in quotes because I haven't read the text and I'm not sure if it presents itself as some sort of manual or something else), especially when it comes to money, as I believe that to make a fortune (there's nothing wrong with trying to do so, just as long as you stay clean and don't bother others) legally, a lot of ingenuity and knowledge of the economic field is required—all things that, in my opinion, are acquired through a lot, a lot, and even more studying. Anyway, I repeat, I like how you write. Bye, and have a good day.

Well, "Master Of Puppets" by Metallica was a Thrash Metal album heavily influenced by the European scene of the so-called NWOBHM, so it's more thoughtful and melodic, with Hetfield's voice being very different from the schizophrenia of people like Petrozza, Schmier, or Angelripper. Nevertheless, in the end, old school or not, what matters is that such bands are always supported and appreciated. Hi and have a good evening.

I define it as old school simply because the band has proposed and continues to propose (obviously taking advantage of modern recording and production technologies) a distinctly "classic" German thrash, and by that, I mean fast riffs, frantic solos, and a razor-sharp voice, that’s it (try listening to their "Thrash Anthems," a collection of re-recorded classics; I think it’s more illustrative than many of my pointless words). As for the masterpiece, well, in the review, I tried to imply that the album in question is indeed beautiful but still not free of flaws, primarily the drums. I hope I’ve explained myself clearly, and I thank you for the high rating; goodbye and have a nice evening.

I didn't like the review very much, especially the reference to the supposed "absurdity" of Mayhem (I should point out that I'm not a blackster and I don't own any albums by the aforementioned band) and other BM groups. Speaking about the album, I believe it is one of the most talked-about and analyzed in the metal scene (did it give birth to BM? Is it a BM album? Did it lay the foundations for extreme metal? etc...) which, for me, has the great merit of being still listenable today in a disenchanted and laid-back way, as well as being a great example of proto-speed. As for the aspect of the image, well... Venom really played on the fact (as you rightly observe at the beginning of your review) of saying: "You looking for Satan in the songs? Well, now we’ll give it to you explicitly so you can openly criticize us and the kids will buy even more albums to piss you off!". Bye and have a good evening.

Nice review, written a bit hurriedly and instinctively, but altogether readable. The album is very sad, but not that almost pleasant melancholy in which one sometimes retreats in the evening, gazing at the stars and sipping something good, rather that visceral, mental sadness that drives you to find peace and refuge, and peace not in people or any other thing, but in the solitude of a hostile place where you know that anyone else who immerses themselves there has no desire to know you or talk to you but only to be at peace, alone, quiet, before returning to the chaos of empty words... Hello everyone and good afternoon.

Honestly, you don’t write badly, but I would like to renew a piece of advice that I think I’ve given you in another review: why not try writing a bit about music or cinema, leaving aside politics and current affairs? By this, I don’t mean to say that your opinions shouldn’t be shared, for heaven's sake! Anyone can express themselves on whatever they want, but maybe if you change the scenery for a moment, you might receive fewer insults. As for the Eluana case, well, my opinion is very simple and perhaps trivial: in a secular state (not to be understood as atheist; I know it’s a silly clarification, but I've often heard that secular = non-believer), everyone has the right to accept or refuse treatment (if I’m not mistaken, one can leave a hospital even against medical advice; just sign a paper that releases the doctors from all responsibility) based on their moral or religious ethics, which cannot be judged but only respected, and perhaps regulated with appropriate laws aimed at preventing false declarations of refusal of medical treatment carried out for some dubious purpose. Bye everyone and have a good evening.

Technically, the review is perfect, well-written and structured, but I honestly found it too "praising" and not objective enough. Moreover, I noticed a bit too many clichés (disturbing music, immense malice, endless brutality, etc.). I repeat that on a purely "technical" level, I have no objections; I really like how you write. As for the album, I listened to it when it came out, just briefly, and it left me indifferent. In fact, I'm not a big fan of the CC; I find them a bit cloying, and their themes rather childish and silly, so I refrain from voting on this work. Hi everyone and have a good evening.

Beautiful review and I really like the album. I believe Trent Reznor is a very creative mind, and this album definitely holds its own in the NIN discography. Hello everyone and have a good day.
