By now, you are an excellent reference for those sounds that have always generated interest and often appreciation in me. Vince Clark, although unfortunately considered a minor figure, has proven himself as a composer of artistic value, worthy of being considered something more than just a simple offshoot of the very early Depeche Mode. Great historical-biographical introduction.

Spending four words on a classic is easier than on less popular, if not niche, records. The listening experience, while flowing smoothly, is far from generating the wonderful sensations that Jim Morrison’s interpretation was capable of igniting. The discography featuring the Lizard King, despite its ups and downs, still echoed in both audience engagement and positive responses from the specialized press. Not even the efforts and strong performances of Eddie Vedder (check out the video of "Roadhouse Blues" during the opening ceremony of the Hall of Fame in 1993) or the flamboyant Ian Astbury (in the Riders On The Storm of Kieger and Manzarek) managed to bring dreams of Jim’s return, who has long since been delivered to Olympus with his passing in Paris. I’ll stop here, appreciating everyone’s contributions, fully sharing that the Doors can be considered finished with Jim’s departure, and without going further, otherwise as good old March says, I’ll have to lighten up not just comments but also reviews. Bye, bye.

A pleasure to find reviews that step outside the safe realm of what is now called classic rock. A review that displays a descriptive linearity that can only be rewarded. In the death metal scene, I believe you are a true authority, and I really hope your recommendations can provide me with opportunities to broaden my musical horizons. Aside from the meticulous description of the tracks, you’ve crafted an excellent prologue and an even better conclusion. Don't give up...

I discovered the beauty of Reilly’s voice with "Crises" by Mike Oldfield and appreciated it even more than in "Echoes." Well-articulated review.

Sorry, Mandcava sent the grade.

Nice review for an album that may not be among my favorites, but without a doubt through your words you make it interesting.

...I almost forgot the grades...

Beautiful review, grammatically perfect and expertly crafted.

A start to the week spent reading a bit of what good hell writes... “Desire,” a beautiful monument to the musical simplicity of dear Bob, who with this chapter has nonetheless illuminated a period that I consider somewhat deficient for these sounds. An album that evokes vivid images for a story (which you have perfectly summarized) and to which contemporary cinema has dedicated a beautiful chapter with Denzel Washington's performance. Excellent work of writing and… interpretation…

My dear L., five minutes spent positively reading your thrilling account. By now, the ability to deeply interpret the most profound emotions rightfully belongs to you. Top marks for the review and show on trust.
