Honestly, as a fake, you’ve never made me laugh much. This one, though, seems really boring... sorry.

Come on, let's not bring up the story that there are seven notes and that blues is played with three chords (I've been strumming the guitar for about 15 years: I know a thing or two myself). At least a couple of volumes of the rock encyclopedia have been written on the plagiarism accusations against Page. Even on these very pages, it has been discussed time and again (if you have the patience to search among the comments of the user C'è, you'll find dozens). I care little about who is right or wrong, but to see "Page, Beck, and Clapton" cited as symbols of originality is almost a record: three monstrous missteps out of three is not something you see every day. :)

"it doesn't just limit itself to taking the blues of old myths and re-recording it." It’s true: it doesn’t just stop there. Sometimes it plagiarizes entire excerpts from other people’s songs: And this isn’t just an opinion.

It's because in the different levels of dreaming, time flows differently: the deeper you go, the slower it gets compared to the previous level by I don't know how many times. That's why you shouldn't get stuck in the last level, the one with the villa, because there time flows extraordinarily slowly.

Reverend, your message comes to me as at least welcome, if not even providential. Over the past week, I've listened almost exclusively to "Ma che freddo fa" by Nada. Here, truly interesting listens in terms of heavy music are scarce, absent, and eclipsed: I’m now diving into the black-gay-depressive type like Agalloch and Altar of Plagues. :)

The review is very beautiful and evocative, and I can only be incredibly happy about your return to these pages. However, in my opinion, the album is far from a masterpiece. Firstly, it is impressively monochord: it feels like there are a maximum of 4 notes played throughout the entire album. Secondly, I really don’t understand why there is such a sharp separation between ambient parts and heavy tracks: this way, it all gets reduced to the usual pile of heavily detuned, oppressively dark rhythms, etc., which thankfully last only about twenty minutes (the rest are the ambient parts); otherwise, you would have seen how my patience was wearing thin. But above all: I read on another site that this would even be an "experimental" album (?!?!?!?!?!?!) because of how it breaks the rhythms, strays from the canonical 4/4, etc. I don’t know, it feels to me like an album that’s ten years old, not moving the needle at all on what has already been heard in the post metal-doom scene. Let’s be clear: it’s not a bad album. It truly manages to sound unsettling and monolithic; it has remarkable sounds (perhaps a bit too compressed, but I think that’s part of its charm), but I don’t see much that is "unexplored."

Great review up until the excruciatingly tedious "track by track": up to that point, you were nearly exemplary in your ability to summarize and be effective. Well done anyway.
