I may be stating the obvious, but what interests me most about an album is the sound. I could never enjoy an album simply because I find it conceptually sharp or ahead of its time... I care about the sound. There are now much more "eccentric" or "avant-garde" experiments than those of Lucier, and while some of them I really like, others make me cringe. I repeat: I don't care if the sound is produced by a guitar, a drum kit, or a pencil eraser scratching a piece of paper (and that’s not a joke); what matters to me is the sonic blend that reaches my ears. I just wrote a little piece about an album by Chartier: it consists mostly of microvariations of white noise over imperceptible electronic drones... I really like the album; it has a static quality full of interstices and nuances that fills me with images. Does that mean I like all albums of this kind? Of course not. I like THIS album by Chartier with ITS sound. Some that may follow a similar concept could appeal to me more, while others much less... The distinguishing factor for me will be THEIR sound.

I'm a bit worried about that "great deployment of keyboards," but at least I could give the second album a listen... I have a feeling I'll either like it a lot or not at all... but you are always a great explorer.

Let's say they're not exactly my cup of tea (and not because they're Brit pop).. since you mentioned them, bands like the Stone Roses were leagues away..

But imagining Kylie emerging from a cake wearing only a cherry is a nice way to start Sunday..

Entering a record store and feeling the enticing gaze of a vinyl is one of the small/great pleasures of life, especially if that gaze belongs to one of our most deeply-rooted weaknesses...

You talk about young people just like you talk about the people who engage in dialogue on this site: you generalize, you express yourself with contemptuous judgments sliced with an axe, you ridiculously simplify an entire generation of people treating them like factory-farmed chickens.

But how can you be so sure that "contemporaneity is represented by the young people who couldn't care less about Salvini and think that everything is fine with politics, not giving a damn, and then on Saturdays go to the club to listen to trap music." For me, in the various hinterlands (for example), there are just as many who gather in supermarket parking lots to hang out, equally, on Saturday nights, some work as pizza deliverers because their father hasn't found a job in a year, others go to fashion-bourgeois-like parties in trendy venues to take selfies with their new Armani coat, and then there are those who go to cheap Chinese places and watch the game (half a liter during the first half, half a liter during the second half)... contemporaneity is much more complex and fragmented than you imagine.

Since even I, it seems, will one day depart to the hyperuranium (and I won't deny that I'm touching wood right now), can I hire the noble Vossignoria to possibly say a few semi-hagiographic words about me?!

The influence of the album on future generations is undeniable... but I can say that it's not clear why you're giving it 5 stars? You say, "As a listener, I don't believe that 'Metal Machine Music' is any more unlistenable than other products out there." How can you give 5 stars to an album you consider unlistenable? What comes across is that you’re giving it top marks because you see it as a great "fuck you" to everyone (and I have my doubts that it's just that) and that it's a huge and deep wound... but, above all, a fuck you and a wound from Lou Reed.
