Honestly, you write well; as for the opening statement of your review, well... at least you have a clear perspective, haha. Anyway, welcome to Debaser!!!

Thank you for the votes and for reading the review, guys! :-)

IlFreddo's new album will be released in October and will be titled "Babylon"! Hi and thanks for reading the review.

Great review, although I think that stylistically Nirvana are the epitome of grunge. Still, you’re right on many points; in the end, the aforementioned grunge is just a label, and essentially Kurt and the guys didn’t invent anything. However, in my opinion, their music made an impact because, especially in America, it pulled rock out of the typical bombast of the hair/glam/street/sleazy rock/metal of the '80s, characterized by excellent productions, endless women, and lyrics essentially focused on fun for fun’s sake (to be fair, I adore bands like Motley Crue, W.A.S.P., etc.). There are those who criticize them and those who love them, but I am convinced that "Nevermind" will remain in history, an album that in its minimalism and substantial pessimism still feels terrifyingly relevant. Bye.

The album is very nice, but the review is really heavy for me to read, too many repetitions! A piece of advice: use more synonyms to describe a band and its work, so you can make the reading of your writings smoother. Bye.

Welcome and congratulations on the review, very original! I don't rate the bootleg because in the end I don't really love this type of productions, even though they have the merit of capturing a band during a certain period of their career.

Beautiful review, and I’m glad to see someone who knows this Italian group unknown to most (inexplicably not to the dark, even if the ensemble’s proposal has nothing to do with their genre) but brilliant and worthy of praise! Congratulations again on the review; I’ve read others of yours and I must say you’re very talented and have very eclectic musical tastes. Bye.

So, sorry for the huge mistake!

Honestly, my intention was just to express my opinion on a topic, that’s all, definitely not to mess with you! As for my statement about the Italian tendency to judge a group based on their popularity, I’ve drawn that from my personal experience in discussions or readings of debates regarding the Heavy Metal scene. Anyway, I can take a note on this last issue myself (and I partly thank you for indirectly pointing it out): I should clarify that my reference can only apply to certain categories of metalheads, as I have encountered a certain closed-mindedness in them, and not in fans of other music genres. As for the rest of your argument, I think there’s little to say: it’s your opinion and, although I don’t agree with it, it deserves respect as it might be perfectly correct for someone else. Goodbye and have a good day.

The review is well-written and clear. I won't rate the album because I've only heard the singles, so I'll refrain from passing judgment, but one thing I believe I can say: for me, Slipknot is a band that has managed to evolve over time without becoming predictable. In fact, they've managed to "accompany" their fans from the "Fuck it all, fuck this world" of the first album (pure teenage angst) to a more thoughtful, yet still present, inner turmoil. Some define them as commercial, and if you follow the literal meaning of the term, they are (they sell a lot and are very well-known), but popularity and sales don’t always ruin a group (even if for Italians a band must necessarily vegetate in the murky substrate of the most obscure underground to be considered valid), and, in my opinion, Slipknot is a pleasant example of this.
