SALMACIS

Well... thejargonking, you haven't really grasped the sense in which punk is mentioned in the review... and that makes me even more startled than the review itself... ever heard of '77, a shining example of furious (and frankly absurd) iconoclasm against progressive? ... well, get informed... as for the review, yeah, it's exaggerated here, but at least the last face (that of Nous sommes du soleil, to be clear), which also has an improved version in the Live Yesshow, is a masterpiece capable of redeeming the grandiosity of the verbose concept, and I admit, especially in suites 2 and 3, it's really off-putting... but let's take it easy before we scorch the earth... and then the subsequent Relayer is a whole different ballgame.

...more than anything that offends every true lover of music is the neglect of "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!", a true masterpiece in an album that I also consider not exceptional (though epoch-making!).... This has removed any doubt about your musical competence. I won't add anything else....
ps. I almost forgot....LSD (the song) has its originality precisely in the bass line and the redemption from a mediocre chorus...and then LSD (the sacred substance) doesn't lobotomize but "opens".........

...in my opinion, it's the worst of the Wizards...the only really good one is The Chosen Few....

In agreement with Memento Mori, the latest from Neurosis feels like Time of Grace n°2 to me... I definitely prefer the "apocalyptic" folk of the Sun and Storm duo... these are the strands in which the wonderful and unsurpassed (Sinoggi) antelitteram synthesis of "Through Silver in Blood" has split.

I prefer the following "Heavy Horses" and, above all, "Stormwatch". Still, the folk trilogy of the Tull is beautiful.

I'm sorry, but I realized a serious mistake: I had swapped the ratings between the review (which I think is nothing, in the sense that it says nothing about the work in question) and the CD to which I give a nice 4!

But what kind of reviews are these...??!!???? I mean, it's fine that everyone writes what they want, but there’s a limit to everything... what information does such pseudopoetic rambling provide to the reader??! I have to say, I’m fed up... with these "emo and nothing" speeches that unfortunately proliferate on this site...
Let’s try to remedy this succinctly: Celestial is the first full-length album by Isis, an American band devoted at the time to an elaborate yet impetuous post-core; they would later shift towards softer horizons, reaching the ideal synthesis with Oceanic, a true masterpiece of the band alongside Panopticon (considered by many to be the best). Isis are masters in crafting dramatic atmospheres through a slow and relentless sonic layering in which the guitars, thick and powerful, serve as the foundational structure, while the keyboards are tasked with filling the sound and shaking it up through noise inserts; but the real secret to this winning formula lies in the powerful, relentless, cumulative, and never gratuitous drumming of drummer Aaron Harris (in this sense, any possible doubt was dispelled by the live performance at Estragon). The vocals are almost never clean and follow the classic hardcore style, which means they aren’t liked by everyone; in fact, it’s the element that bothers many (though not me). The highlights of the album (which nonetheless exhibits great continuity) are the instrumental "Deconstructing Towers," the energetic "Glisten," and, above all, the more melodic "C.F.T." The music of Isis is quite visionary, in the sense that it produces grand images of ethereal spaces and apocalyptic scenarios in the listener; in that sense, it is also psychedelic.

Really great album...excellent review. Recommended.

...look, Evola is a tremendous thinker, both on the purely esoteric side (cf. "Lo Yoga della potenza," considered by many "masters of reality" from the East to be one of the few Western works where the tantric spirit is best understood and presented), and on the philosophical side (cf. Ugo Spirito "L'Idealismo otaliano ed i suopi critici"), where Evola's propositions are examined in the light of Gentile's actualism, emerging unscathed (albeit with some criticism) from such scrutiny...even the left is reassessing him...and what a person...what a hero...what a wizard...

One of the cornerstone groups of the so-called "religious black metal," probably the best (the other two main ones are the Swedish Ondskapt and Funeral Mist) of the label "Norma evangelium diaboli." Liturgical harmonic solutions, litanies, and monastic choirs (albeit transposed in a different light) are borrowed to infuse one of the most extreme yet organic forms of black metal ever heard. Si Monumentum... is an immense masterpiece... I hope to one day be worthy of reviewing it... in the meantime, I recommend it even more than this one...
