Dear reviewer, I give you four points for your courage! Expressing a negative opinion on "Reign In Blood" inevitably leads to harsh criticism, but what I appreciated most is that you focused on the musical aspect rather than the lyrical one to critique the work in question, avoiding the usual "they are Nazis", "we cannot praise individuals who talk about Mengele", etc. (how I hate Italian moralism!). Well done! As for the album, I absolutely adore Slayer (I even really like "Christ Illusion", believe it or not, even though I criticized it at first) and I consider this their third work a true Bible of Extreme Metal (with a capital M and E).

Beautiful review, well done! You're right about the Italian blacksters—they're as thick as an old drainpipe! Excellent album, just like all of the Emperor's!

I'm sorry, but the statement about hard rock really didn't sit well with me. I don't like to play the "critic"; there are already too many "Sgarbi" out there. However, hard rock is not exactly in the Menestrello's repertoire. Speaking of the album, I want to start with a disclaimer: I'm not an expert on Bob Dylan, so I won't compare it to his old productions. That said, I can say that I find the album really beautiful. The production may not be precise and may sound old, but it evokes emotions and speaks to people's hearts, especially on a somewhat gloomy evening, lying in bed and enjoying a bit of healthy melancholy.

Honestly, I find Vasco Rossi to be an absolutely mediocre and ridiculous musical product! I don't like to criticize other people's tastes because subjectivity is indisputable, but I think a guy like that can only find success in Italy. In fact, our country has a pathetic musical culture, and people have the open-mindedness of a worm (even in the metal and rock scene, it’s not like we’re at the forefront mentally in those areas either). We have golden bands like Novembre and we waste time on by-products that have nothing to do with rock attitude, I don’t get it! I repeat: tastes are tastes, but....

The review is very well written; as for the TV show, I believe it falls into a classic American cliché: after a dazzling start (which lasts about the first two or three seasons), there’s a devastating decline, the series loses its edge, and the stories slide into the repetitive and the kitschy!

Great review, you write well and are very clear in what you want to express, but I don’t agree regarding the latest Necrodeath albums. Personally, I love their entire discography, including the controversial "Tone(s) of hate" and "Draculea." Then "100% hell" drives me crazy, but these are personal tastes, so...

I liked the review; it was well written and very clear, congratulations! Honestly, I do not share most of the criticisms that are generally directed at this album, and now I’ll explain my point of view: setting aside those who have been listening to them since "For All Tid" (I can understand them, because if they got into this band back then, it was because they loved their unique take on Black Metal, so once they saw the band venturing into different territories, they justifiably criticized and abandoned them), I think many people focus too much on whether it’s not Black or it is Death, or Power, or even Thrash (soon it’ll be industrial and goodnight) forgetting a very important and sadly telling thing, as it highlights the obtuseness (excuse the term, but I’m speaking from experience) of the average Italian metalhead. Many "purists" don’t consider any Dimmu Borgir album to be Black Metal because it strays from the "pure, evil, bad, and scary" doctrine of various Mayhem, Darkthrone (whom I adore), Immortal, etc. So, in my humble opinion, the issue with the album is just one: it’s cold and academic, well played, well produced but lacking in pathos; that’s it. I hope I have not offended anyone with my words, and if I did, it was absolutely not my intention.

I really liked your review; it's thorough, technical, and captures the essence of the product about to be listened to—well done. As for the album, I like it a lot, especially Satolla's solos, which are the real highlight of the work in question.

I didn't really like the review; it's well written, and I also love solitude and introspection, but in my opinion, it would have been better to talk more about this album, which I find really charged with emotion, technique, and artistic expression. I say this because your analysis doesn't bring out that purely technical aspect that might interest someone who, not knowing W.a.s.p., wants to understand how they interpret Hard Rock music (the genre is one, but in my opinion, every band sees and proposes it based on their own perspective). Anyway, I repeat, this is just my opinion and it doesn't take away from the fact that you write very well.
