Lexus, are you really talking? You've been a member for seven years, you've reviewed Siberia by Diaframma, Confusa e felice by Consoli, Demaged by Black Fag... and now you come here doing the porn shit "uuuuhhhh! you always talk about the same e-3 bands"? You've bored us for months with your bullshit projects, you've done an unprecedented self-promotion (at one point we even featured you as "Del giorno"), you spent entire days in chat with some other guy whose nickname I don't remember, and now you come here expecting to teach us what to say about whom, by the way, with the tone of someone who thinks they’ve understood everything about life? Lexus, really, no hard feelings, bavvvavangulo, vah!!

Expecting a band, after 20 years, to still do the same stuff as in their early albums can mean two things: either you are very foolish or you think that the band in question is a bunch of incompetents. I don’t know a single musician who can truly call themselves one that doesn’t constantly evolve their taste, technique, and approach to composition. So, I reiterate, to expect a new Vs. you must either be foolish or think that PJ are incompetent. Moreover, it’s time to stop, really stop, talking about Grunge as if it were a genre. And it’s time to stop, really stop, associating the term grunge with PJ. These discussions have become so overdone, so repetitive and so tiresome that it's simply unbearable. I’ve only listened to the album once: in my view, it's better than Avocado (truly horrible) and Backspacer (merely mediocre). That said, PJ may be old, washed-up, regressive, and everything else you want to say, but, to this day, they remain practically the only band from the '90s capable of filling a stadium. From their generation, they are the only ones who have survived trends, mp3s, peer-to-peer sharing, and all those other things that have made hundreds of promising acts evaporate. This may not necessarily help to reevaluate a bad album, but - in my opinion - it excludes the possibility of labeling them as "ridiculous."

I remember being mocked by half the site for this album (if I'm not mistaken, in my review of The Alchemist by Witchcraft). I even bought it back in 2008, I believe at a concert of Monster Magnet or something similar. I listened to it until I grew to like it, I promoted it here and there on these pages, and everyone responded by telling me to go fuck myself because it’s a piece of shit. I still remember it as a fairly decent example of doom/hard rock revival. Of course, in the same genre, I could name at least ten bands that do it muuuuuuch better, but it’s doom/hard rock revival, so it's practically impossible to find anything that's truly, truly awful.

I only know them by name. In reality, I've never listened to them. I confess that even I, who have always hated black metal, couldn't help but appreciate some of the bands mentioned on this page (above all, Altar of Plagues, who were a true revelation!). Excellent page. Really well done.

I bought it right after reading the review: I'm on page 80 or so and it's driving me crazy. Probably, when it came out in '85, in those years of glitter and big hair, it had a tremendous impact, but for now it feels like an episode of the first season of Beverly Hills 90210, when Kelly was still being a bitch and her mom was drinking, on loop. I understand it's an intentional effect, I get what Ellis wants to convey, etc. etc. etc. But I got that by the fourth paragraph, and since then it's been 80 pages of the same old story. I hope to finish it over the weekend: I'll come back for the final verdict. Great review.

"They are interconnected seamlessly." I don't understand this... so are they connected or not?

The funny thing about this movie is that on Walter Hill's Wiki page, it says it was "a big success," while on the page dedicated to the film, it states that it only grossed 8 million dollars against the 14.5 million spent. Certainly, the cover is AGGGHIAGGIANDEEE!!

The NWblablabla is both a cross and a delight for vinyl fanatics. I remember people who traded their Chihuahuas to buy the first Angel Witch. And then there were two thousand bands, half of which had only released one record, maybe two, along with a flourishing of compilations, EPs, all sorts of stuff... I talked to Cerati one evening at a brewery: nice guy, definitely knowledgeable, but a bit too "journalistic." I mean, I asked him if he liked a band and he replied something like, "An interesting formation from the land of Albion, blending Sabbath-like influences with folk references that delve into the late sixties tradition." Anyway, I'm starting to like this Tsunami more and more. Let's just hope it doesn't fail...

As for the movie: it stays very true to the book (except, of course, for the scene of the uprising in District 8, which absolutely makes no sense why they wanted to include it, especially since a much larger part is dedicated to it in the second chapter) and by and large it's not too bad. It's a shame about the whole love story between the two, which honestly no one could care less about. But above all: Jennifer Lawrence stole my heart. She’s not a super hot girl like Megan Fox, just to be clear. But oh my, every time they frame her I feel like a 12-year-old falling in love for the first time...

The literary trilogy turned out to be less bad than I would have expected. Of course, one has to pretend that 1984, The Running Man (both the book and the movie), Battle Royal, and a good 30% of science fiction works set in a dystopian future have never existed. But aside from that, I've read much worse: the first book remains the best and most balanced, the second has a rather boring first half balanced by a pretty intense second half, and the third is quite a mess essentially because one thing is to describe 20 kids beating each other up in an arena and another is to describe a revolution in a country as big as the United States, the attack on a capital, and the attempt to take out a sitting president. In short, maybe a bit too much for poor Collins. Beyond that, though, what made me appreciate the books is the exaggerated level of bleakness and paranoia: basically, half of the supporting characters die miserable, swollen, and alone. The other half plus the protagonists either get tortured to madness or end up being addicted to drugs and painkillers or alcoholics. But, above all, at a certain point, in the second arena, there’s a section where IT RAINS BLOOD!!!! SLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYEEE EEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
