Ah, I almost forgot another point that denotes a non-metalhead: <<< actually, it was the same flashy technique jam with the same substance flaws as other more classic metal representatives >>> I could let you hear a thousand metal albums and perhaps even more that don't have technique even remotely (not that I have those thousand, but I would know which discographies to direct you to). Ever heard of Doom? Theoretically, it’s still metal, but there’s no technique, no flashy showmanship, no solos, no speed, no rage. There’s a riff, a long, monotonous, repetitive riff. Doom albums are all the same from Black Sabbath onward; 40 years have passed, and it’s still being listened to. I, for example, often listen to it, and I even enjoy it. I know exactly what I’ll find in an album I haven’t heard yet, and I’ll tell you, that has its advantages because even if you’ve never heard it, you enjoy it as if you knew it by heart. Isn’t it magnificent?

<< "Rock n roll has been the same for 30 years," is obviously false. Thirty years ago we were in '79, and since then we've seen shoegaze, post rock, hardcore, post hardcore, new wave >>> I wrote ROCK N ROLL. You wrote shoegaze, post rock, hardcore, post hardcore, new wave. << I can't like certain stuff >> But you don't HAVE to like it. Beyond the discussions of "who is Leader and who is Follower," where it matters (for the sake of argument) who "invented" something and who just "followed the trend," if we talk about the sacred "I like," then there are no rules. You don't like metal, it's clear from the subtext that you've never followed it. No one who listens to "metal" says they listen to "metal" without specifying what kind of metal. No one who listens to Metal would ever say "post-metal," because if just saying Metal means nothing, imagine Post-metal! And most importantly, no one who listens to metal would ever utter this heresy <<< classic metal has embarrassing medieval traits and okay >>> ... that's not classic, that's epic symphonic shit, all the nonsense and bullshit, just crap. To conclude: I totally understand that this album disappointed you; it’s made for those who want to keep hearing those riffs, that groove, those sounds. Exactly those, and nothing more.

<<Same riffs, solos, structures deriving from the same old prog-metal, vaguely psycho melodies>> And what more do you want from life? <<And these should save metal.>> You too with this "metal," what the hell does it even mean? If you’re talking about almost classic metal, I’d say there’s nothing to save; we just have to accept the fact that it has been completely explored, so there are no more novelties. Rock 'n' roll has been the same for the past 30 years and no one complains; you either like it or you don’t. They’re still playing pieces by Bach, filling auditoriums with tickets going for €300 each, and everyone is thrilled to hear the same stuff from three hundred years ago. And it’s not just the same stuff remixed; it’s actually the same piece from three hundred years ago. So why is it always necessary to innovate? Just to be able to say, “Wow, this person is a genius.” They’re not geniuses; they don’t want to explore new horizons. They make great albums.

<< they avoid instrumental ramblings (in my opinion the real Achilles' heel of "Blood Mountain") >> I absolutely think not. This is beautiful even without them, also because in this way they "change again" and even if the change is nothing more than a return to Leviathan, it’s still a change and always good. Review dropped after a few lines, what a bunch of idiots.

Agharta is the best live album by Miles Davis, according to some (for me, it’s Pangaea). This is hoped to be the very last record with the classic sound of Sunn O))), because they have really, really worn out their welcome. One, two, three albums all centered on the same theme are fine, but more than that, no. Everyone has realized that Drone-Doom has been overexploited, but not them. From what I hear, it seems that the new one finally has a twist; will it be thanks to Carson? It’s certainly not their merit, since the last good album was the one with Boris, and that’s all thanks to Boris. O'Malley, you've worn out your welcome.

I discovered them thanks to one of your old reviews. (If you don't include the "The," it won't connect them.)

One of the biggest piles of crap I've seen in its entirety. So let's say it's shit, but not too much, since I at least managed to finish it. But not too much, still shit.

Set off early this morning in the car like every first Monday of spring for years and years now. I particularly enjoy the part where our beloved Collina pronounces Hey Ladies... (pppaappababààà)... WANT A RIDE?.
