Why don't you write a review on Octavarium, since there are only six?

Excuse me, but is this site becoming a Dream Theater fanzine?

The Optimist was a good album, perhaps slightly overrated. I haven't listened to Either Song, having read reviews and criticisms that weren't exactly uplifting. I heard a few snippets from this album and honestly, they didn't seem bad, but after reading your review, I feel somewhat put off. I guess I'll wait for it to be available at a lower price in a couple of years.

I have nothing against Sanremo. I just think it’s an event that doesn’t fit my target audience, and I hope it doesn't fit that of the debaseriani either. However, every now and then, a review of lower-profile artists pops up. Anyway, even the Subsonica went to Sanremo, and I don’t believe they went there thinking they’d be accepted by the Sanremo audience. They did it out of convenience. And given how the world works, who could blame them? I expected a few more comments; evidently, Socrates was right—this is a neglected genre. Thank you, Socrates, for keeping me company from time to time. I don’t know who I’ll review next, but you’ll see that someone will comment. You can be sure of that.

I've been visiting this site for a few months now, and regarding the reviews, I'd like to point out that: 1) Everyone holds their own truths about reviews of super famous artists, like U2, R.E.M., and Springsteen. In short, endless comments, and everyone sharing their opinion, usually negatively.
2) Those who review "Sanremo" artists (in this case, the reviews are often positive) receive gratuitous insults and slurs from anyone. I have a strong suspicion that these are provocation-reviews.
3) The longest and most articulated discussions happen around cult artists. Often in the punk-metal genre and beyond. Frequently, these are semi-obscure artists, and the reviewers always speak positively about them. I don’t know how sincere they are and how much it’s just snobbery.
Rest assured, my next review will have comments. I don’t know what kind they will be, but there will be comments.

You're always good, no complaints. However, I'd like to see a few negative reviews as well, of course without involving Nek, Cremonini, Pausini, and the like. There are also some pretty bad albums in our field. Oh yes, there are.

Honestly, he seems like a teen singer and suitable for commercials. I find "High" unbearable. It’s possible that I’m wrong.

I correct myself: "Balaklava."

Pearls Before Swine, also known as Perle Davanti ai Porci, is an American group from the late sixties led by the singer-songwriter Tom Rapp, who is said to have placed ahead of one Bob Dylan in a talent contest for aspiring musicians at the time. However, they did not enjoy the same fortune, neither critically nor commercially. Among their most successful works are "One Nation Underground" and "Balaklava." Genre: late psychedelic singer-songwriter. Their works are not easy to find on the market and, alas!, still priced at full value. I hope I’ve managed to help you a bit.

I share your review. I thought they were washed up, but compared to A Rush Of Blood, they made a step forward. I wouldn't have bet a dime on it. Ehm! a euro.
