John Lennon & Yoko Ono Some Time in New York City
Voto:
Never been able to stand Lennon, never been able to tolerate his socialistic view of the world. I've always considered him a fool as a person and mediocre as a musician. The fact that he indulged the bimbo in her pseudo-artistic aspirations is revolting... it's the hippie version of "Honey, can you buy me the latest Gucci collection?" "Of course, darling, let me call in the armored truck."

A truly sparse review for a project that is hard to evaluate.

Great album. I had a hard time digesting their death-metal contamination, which made them quite bland. Here they were truly a promising band, and I'll accept the comparison to Darkthrone and Dimmu Borgir from For All Tid, even though the latter seems a bit forced to me; however, the comparison with Emperor seems really excessive... we’re talking about In The Nightside Eclipse, not the latest from Mino Reitano! For the rest, the review is a bit lacking and not very technical, with unfortunate slips like "stanno veramente avanti," which is a phrase straight out of a bimbominkie SMS.
Enslaved Vertebrae

Of course, I prefer them in their black attire, but I must say they are currently a very interesting band, even though I'm not familiar with this particular album. I particularly appreciated some of the metaphors used by the reviewer. The one about the Viking warrior, although a bit grandiose, is an image that works well to describe the journey of Enslaved. Four for excessive length and some avoidable circumlocutions.
Saturnus Veronika Decides to Die

I listen to it very rarely, but it’s truly a great album. I like the review; it doesn't get lost in verbosity but is expressive and full of beautiful imagery. Kudos to the reviewer who manages to be technical without being heavy-handed. I won't give the highest rating because of a couple of syntactical errors.

I hope I have put an end to the discussion, at least regarding the literary plan.

Guys, I’m graduating in modern languages and literature. I’ve taken two exams in Anglo-American literature and two in English literature, not to mention those in Italian, French, and German literature... I dare to say I know what I’m talking about when I claim the irrelevance of Lovecraft. The connection to Poe is easy; too bad the teachings of the man of good stock were not at all embraced by Lovecraft, who refers, rather crudely, to the horror of the Other stemming from the historical-literary dawns of America (The Day of Doom, Wonders of the Invisible World, and generally all the writings of the Mather family, dating back to the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries). Not to mention the stylistic lesson given by Poe, which cannot even be compared to the pedantic linearity of Lovecraft’s writing. As for the rest; I reaffirm, the MA are American jokers with an ideological depth close to zero, who just want to stir up a bit of chaos. And they manage to do it quite well. Regards.

Punctuation a bit haphazard. It seems excessive to attribute all this ideological depth to Morbid Angel... they are just some American jerks who want to cause a bit of mayhem; something they manage to do quite well. It also seems excessive to call Lovecraft "Master"; literarily speaking, I would say he is even irrelevant.
