J.K. Rowling Harry Potter e il Principe Mezzosangue

As I have already mentioned elsewhere, I am among the supporters of this saga. If nothing else, it has brought many children closer to reading and has taken them away, even if just for a few hours, from the PlayStation. The narrative architecture of the series, taken as a whole, is almost impressive for the sheer number of characters, intertwining plots, inventions, etc., etc. However, when taken individually, the books are not without flaws. The first 2-3 are quite childish and definitely too linear. A good balance is achieved with chapters 4-5, and it ends up becoming quite chaotic as the story draws to a close. In the concluding books, the tone becomes less childish and fairy-tale-like, but the narration becomes far too slow, verbose, and the management of narrative timing is a bit off: pages and pages to recount facts or details that are ultimately secondary, while only a few dozen pages are left for the concluding climax, which always seems rushed and leaves the reader breathless. This is no exception: the identity of the Half-Blood Prince, for example, is in the background for 3/4 of the book, and by the time it is finally revealed, no one cares anymore...

Panichissimo is right: the behavior of the young metalhead as you described it is not from this world. Moreover, you’ve never seen a metallaro going to Clash of the Titans with a girl (and not even a metalhead or a dark-chubby one) without the whole iron crew, which includes: 1) at least one high school student [scientific]; 2) at least one studying medieval history at university; 3) at least one who works as a car body repairer. This is not just chatter: it’s statistics. Furthermore, I didn’t read a single mention of beer during the concert. This can only mean one thing: your little buddy wasn’t a true metalhead. At best, he was a pseudo-metalhead. I’m sorry.

Complete review and, I believe, written with good knowledge of the subject. I confess I had never even heard of the band in question. However, I should mention that back then I was more interested in a different kind of American Power, more epic and, above all, more ignorant, less progressive. But you can't ignore the cover... :)

Not to mention that, in 10 years, he will have published at most 2 more reviews.

However, Blechapitanfindus needs to be limited. Really, when his "fetishes" are involved, he leaves comments with a disheartening arrogance. Essentially, we are raising a chimera, a monstrous hybrid of Scaruffi, Vincenzo Mollica, and the Supertelegattone. I can picture him in 10 years with a thinning tuft from baldness, spouting nonsense about Stockhausen's poetics and giving 1 to all albums post '74. Except for those by Massimo Volume, of course.

I didn't know them: I'm discovering them with this album. Which, by the way, I really like: it’s all about sounds, I think, I don't know. It drives me crazy not being able to enjoy them at my leisure, as I would like. Good job, Bob.

The review is good, but it drags a bit too much in the introduction and ends up talking too little about the album. The album - indeed - rocks: it’s been a while since I listened to it, but I remember wearing it out back in the day. But come on, let’s not always talk about the usual albums that have already been reviewed; let’s try to propose something new too... :)

I quote what is written on the D.A.P. page: "One thing: DO NOT paste the review text directly from Word: the nice word-processor adds a bunch of proprietary tags that we don't know what to do with." The solution is to do a copy-paste in between onto a text document, thus eliminating the tags.

Now it should be fine. It happened because your review arrived full of tags that shouldn't have been there. The solution is the one we've been repeating since Blechapretta started having rheumatism (that is, since forever): DO NOT copy-paste the text of the review directly from Word or similar. Similarly: when you need an intervention from the editors, DO NOT use comments and, above all, DO NOT use the Playlist, but write to editors@debaser.it. I wonder why you just don't like this... oh well!
