Back then, what I liked the most was Blessed Are the Sick; I remember it as the most varied. If I'm not mistaken, there was also a certain Brunelle playing the other guitar who had set up a pretty decent acoustic interlude.

I believe Roald Dahl was my first "favorite writer" (maybe even before Romano Scarpa on Topolino :D). And I realize that I don't remember the BFG at all anymore. So it will be really nice to read it again, I think :)

interesting reviews for a music genre I never explored (due to lack of cash back then), not even during my metal phase. All these German bands have always fascinated me, I must say; even though I already know that if I listened to them today they wouldn't say much to me. The only ones I used to play back then were obviously Helloween \m/

Interesting yet annoying point, as you claim to tell others what they actually think (which I also do all the time, so I'm not judging :D).
However, however... if you had used another example, I would have agreed with you; but with the trout, no. For an infinite number of reasons, it’s NOT a joke.
1- It’s an album of songs. Say what you want, but Ella Guru, Moonlight in Vermont, Frawnland, DAchau Blues (the first ones that come to mind) can be hummed in the shower (yes, just to say) if you want.
2- It’s WRITTEN music. From reading interviews, guitarists went crazy trying to play that stuff live because they had to play it exactly as it is on the record. Drumbo believed in what he was doing so much that the captain left him when he started doing “pop.”
3- We all agree that the Captain was a bit crazy, but he invested money, time, and his career to make this album. Which he recorded and took on tour, putting himself out there.

Then, for goodness’ sake, it’s not true that the more abstract an album is, the better it is... but unlike other works, this one FOR ME grows in value over time and is worth saving and remembering fondly.

How ridiculously fake snobbish and pseudo-alternative am I to always comment on the reviews of Twin Infinitives?
Dunno.
But I agree… albums like this don’t leave you indifferent and that’s already something.
I believe Twin Infinitives has easily won the prize for the most unbearable album ever to have passed through my home stereo; my parents still remember it, and let’s just say I went through a long period of black/death metal :D

"Vulgar, devoid of content. It’s not funny. Basically: life."
Well done, beautiful review.

I am reading it these days. Beautiful, truly a modern masterpiece.

I'll read it later. For now, I'll just say that I'm really into Dylan right now and I'm practically not listening to anything else. I'm even finding myself enjoying his Christmas album :O

But can you believe it...
I haven't listened to Korn since Take a Look (it must be said that it was a good album) and many of the records you mention I don't even think I've ever heard of.
What a pity because for a while they were truly a great band in my opinion.

What a huge kick in the balls I would give myself if I were Palmer at the end of this review :D
