Thank you, then I recommend you take a look at my other reviews!;-) For example, read those of Bokor, Agalloch, Isis, Elend, Breach, and all the ones of the albums I loved the most...

So maybe I've seen you a few times, who knows... In the summer, you can recognize me by my t-shirts: Katatonia, Darkthrone, Opeth... more rarely Novembre, Death, Nile, and Deftones! ;-)

Thank you guys, it’s been a while since I last wrote on Debaser, but I must say that such a welcome not only moves me but also reignites my desire to write here! :-) Every time I feel the need to share what I feel about an album, I will come back to write, I promise... Response to zaireeka: Initially, I often bought CDs from Taurisano, and sometimes from Fuori Tempo, especially when they had amazing offers... however, since I study in Bari, I mainly buy CDs there now. If you go, I recommend Wanted (via Bottalico) and New Record, two excellent stores both in terms of selection and prices, especially New Record, where the average price of metal CDs is around 8 euros, dropping to 5, and I assure you they have plenty! :-) Sometimes I’ve also bought from Feltrinelli during sale periods, like the latest Mastodon for 10 euros... Anyway, I have very few original CDs on my homepage compared to those I own (I probably have around 200 originals), unfortunately, the page is old. But are you from Taranto?

It's the prikma review that I’ve been writing here for centuries! :-D I'm glad that someone hasn't forgotten about me...

I completely agree. If I had written this review, I would have said the exact same things. The Tides are one of the greatest promises of sludge on the planet. There are no words, emotional sludge... incredible... A MASTERPIECE OF THE GENRE.

Wonderful record and shitty review

MASTERPIECE. Suffering, human pain, melancholy, battlefields where people kill each other for mechanisms greater than themselves, and a shabby Prague bar where one tries to suppress pain with alcohol. And the eyes of a beautiful war-wounded girl playing a guitar... Nothing more to say. Mental trip.

I had already placed the tombstone for quite a while... it was a matter of making it clear to others too!;-) I'm waiting for you on my next review...

Fingers' comment, I respect it because it's a personal opinion, of course, but it really seems like a bunch of nonsense to me. Is the genre limited? Okay, if we consider all the interesting ideas and possibilities that the genre offers, then what do we make of seriously limited genres like death and black metal? There are billions of death and black albums coming out every month, and the strange thing is that quite a few are valid... just imagine. Did post-core start and end with Neurosis? Alright, then death must have started and ended, let's say, with Morbid Angel, funeral doom with Thergothon, and so on...
Post-core is simply "a musical genre," and the various interpretations of the genre, as you call them, are an essential part of the scene (because yes, there is indeed a "scene"). In other words, saying "post-core is a joke" might sound like a profound reflection on the phenomenon, but to me it seems more like a stupid, inaccurate, unfair, and above all, enormously reductive statement! It's about destroying an entire musical genre with just a few words... Bands like Isis, Minsk, Pelican... not to mention how complex the post-core phenomenon is. Do we want to talk about its many faces, or the other forefathers like Refused or the post style of Converge?
In short... This "musical reductionism" that reigns on Debaser (and there are many who practice it) is really starting to get on my nerves, especially when it's thrown out without a second thought and perhaps without having "listened" enough to speak and pass judgments of this caliber... Fingers, I hope you’re not offended by what I said; it's not you I'm upset with, obviously, but I felt it was my duty to express how I feel about this atmosphere of superficiality and snobbery that says "I know everything" which prevails on Debaser.

No, I’m not offended, imagine! In fact, for once, a serious critique... and yet I find your comment a bit stupid, if you don’t mind me saying. I mean, saying "Always the same moods. It’s like there are two thousand identical records." doesn’t make much sense. Apocalyptic ambient post-hardcore is a genre of music that arises to express such feelings... Do you think a Neurosis album and a Cult Of Luna album are the same just because neither instills feelings of spring joy but rather dark apocalyptic despair? Well... thanks for stating the obvious, I’d say, the genre is what it is!!! At this point, let’s just say that all doom metal albums are the same because they are all slow, and let's call it a day... If you find my review banal, that’s one thing, but not if you find it banal because "there are other records and other reviews that convey the same moods," and no! Honestly, that seems very stupid to me... No offense, of course! ;-)
