Oh my goodness, King really needs to go on a diet: the more time goes by, the more he looks like the chubby guy that Kenshiro kicks in the belly until it bubbles. By the way, now he even has sausage fingers... I wonder if he can still play solos! :DD

@Anatas: the last time I dared to skip a line in a review I was editing, World War III broke out. And since to err is human, but to persist is foolish, I've savored every review since then as if it were a fine cigar... ;)

"very, really very thrash with a riff that comes in around 30 seconds very unique and very thrash." De-Generi: metal.

"It seems over, but no: another solo! These brilliant ideas lead me to give it a 9… it's worth reading just for this phrase. Priceless."

What psychological violence, ghettoization, and Hitler, for Odin! Let's try to attribute the right value to things without dragging in the tragedies of history! We are talking about a piece that, by its own author's admission, can hardly be called a "review" (he himself calls it a "piece of crap"): what exactly does it say about the album in question?! In one line, it says it’s produced by Timberland... and then?! That’s it. So why didn’t he send an "In-depth" piece to the artist?! It could have been discarded for this reason (a hypothesis that the author himself hasn’t dismissed), any other site would have thrown it away, and yet it was decided to publish it in a section that all users are now aware of, where typically "hybrid" writings like this are published: they are not real reviews, but they don’t deserve to be discarded either, because they are still worthy of publication. That’s all. My goodness! If we had published it on the home page, I bet there would have been someone complaining because we published a "non-review." The review of Caz dates back to about 4 years ago: a different story, different times; this section didn’t even exist, and the users were probably a tenth of what we have today. The review on John Lennon: I have already reiterated until exhaustion that the only guilty party IS ME, the other editors or the alleged "editorial lines" of the site have nothing to do with it, so stop using it as a benchmark for everything that happens on a site that contains over 20,000 reviews. And good evening to all.
Michael Haneke Le Temps Du Loup (Il Tempo Dei Lupi)

I have read conflicting reviews about this film. Personally, I liked it: certainly not my favorite by this director, but it has some extremely high points, such as the sequences in the fog, more or less at the beginning of the film, or the "surprise death" in the very first sequences (which is a recurring element in Haneke’s work). And then there's the opening scene, which is also quite "typical" of the director, the idea of waking his protagonists in a waking nightmare, without any reason, completely disregarding the concept of cause and effect. Just like with the bourgeois couple in Niente da nascondere or Funny Games: chaos suddenly, for no reason, without any apparent guilt. Only in this case, there is no rejection, no reaction, no real struggle, but rather an acceptance of the state of things, as if it were something unavoidable, with no one questioning the reason behind what is happening. In short: for me, it's a great film.
Skyclad History Lessens

In my opinion, the best things Walkyer and the others have done are when they left behind the last remnants of thrash and shifted towards a less powerful and more elegant folk metal. Not coincidentally, among their best productions (in my opinion, of course) are the latest Vintage Whine and Folkemon (a really great album, despite the absurd title). More than anything, the point is that Skyclad have almost always churned out albums - depending on the case - that are decent or good, but never true masterpieces: good or bad, you almost always find gems you could listen to endlessly alongside simply boring songs. And to be fair, Walkyer's lyrics are worth the price of admission alone. PS: if they hadn't included "Single Phial" in the best, I would have freaked out... perhaps the most beautiful ballad in their discography! On the other hand, I’m quite annoyed by the exclusion of Polkageist: they really didn't include it?!? Bah!
