El Guevo

I had already read this review, but I don't always feel like commenting or rating. However, since you were curious about my opinion, here I am. I completely agree with everything you wrote and how you wrote it, with irony and useful information for those who are not familiar with the band or the album (this is something that I personally appreciate a lot, because usually on this site you come across rather vague things, based solely on personal feelings, while I prefer to talk more about music). So, top marks.

I really think that ....damn... he doesn’t understand anything about cinema, instead of you TheBlackAngelsDeath I would let it go.

I hardly agree with anything that is written in this review.

Perhaps there was no need to do a third de-review on this album; however, it's not true that yours is to be discarded, in fact, I personally prefer it to the others.

A beautiful review for a beautiful album, this collection of soundtracks written by Gallo, the most famous of which is obviously the one from Buffalo 66. For those who like this author, I recommend the beautiful single So Sad.

Well done, in just a few lines you managed to explain the true essence of the film.

The Boatman Call is also one of my favorite albums by Cave, it is the first album where Ellis's violin is definitely indispensable, and it contains beautiful and solemn songs. I believe that Cave was directly inspired by Cohen's music, especially by that Songs Of Love And Hate which he has always pursued since his first solo work. Love and hate songs, but like those of the great Canadian poet, they go beyond the human dimension itself, embracing the spiritual sphere present in all the songs of the album. The very figure of the ferryman, which gives the album its title, is Christ; it is the Word made flesh and through human feelings, suffering, despair, and perdition (see the whore - Mary Magdalene of Green Eyes), one ascends towards Calvary, the cross, the sacrifice in order to ultimately be reborn.

Yes, it's true, it's in one of his early masterpieces: Uncle Meat (1968).

Rock'n'Roll is an album recorded in a very short time (less than a week), where Ryan Adams acts as a one-man band, playing all the songs and all the instruments himself (with a few sporadic exceptions). The album is a reaction to the denied release by Lost Highway of the record Ryan had been working on for a year, that sort of tribute to the music of The Smiths which is Love Is Hell. The result is this easy, fast Rock'n'Roll album that attempts to capture all the clichés of Rock; each song is a reference (evident right from the title of each track) to something historical (a song or a band). But as the album's title itself suggests, it's all a reflection, a reversal—Ryan puts something abnormal, something unhealthy into each piece, and in the end, the result is truly captivating.

I didn't understand much of what you wrote about the inadequacy. Anyway, I’m not interested in competing for the most beautiful version. The only truth is that "With a little help from my friends" is a beautiful song and it has gone down in history sung by Ringo Starr. Cocker's version is also timeless, but for different reasons: the Woodstock event and the incredible vocal performance on a song that was already part of history. And on this, we agree. In fact, my point was about the review; I don’t think it can be said that the original version has been overshadowed by other versions, because however beautiful they may be, they always refer back to the original model, which in its simplicity and context is still unrivaled today (and I'm sorry, but this is not a personal opinion).
