I agree with aniel: in "kill'em all," the solos are mostly very raw, played like a shovel with a pick, but they require a strong wrist to be executed precisely. (It's somewhat like what happens in "Show No Mercy": they all rely on really simple structures, but they're quite fast and require a certain leverage work that, if not executed correctly, turns into a messy chaos). In the subsequent albums, they gradually become more refined also in terms of compositional taste. Of course, they never reach absurd levels of execution difficulty... but let's not forget that Hammet was one of Satriani's first students: in short, we can say they find an ideal middle ground between the chaos of Slayer's thrash or German thrash and flashy showboating.

Damn, I had completely forgotten about Oasis... good job metalhead!!! But here we need to decide whether to take literary cases into account or not... This is no small matter: if we add the 5 literary cases to the 90 "official" ones, Maiden would be deliriously close to the hundredth review. At that point, the gap with Floyd would become significant, and Gilmour and the gang would just have to hope for a miracle...

..and to think that the Zeppa are stuck at 42.. I mean the Zeppa!!! @Lethe: could you confirm this ranking: 1) Iron Maiden "91" 2) Pink Floyd "89" 3) Metallica "81" 4) Dream Theater "73".. I know the Beatles are around fifty (about twenty just from Sergeant Pepper.. :DDD).. do they take fifth place?!?.. and anyway, I feel that the four gentlemen of the stable can still surprise us!! :DD

..mmm..I hope it's nothing serious (sound cue of balls..), but rather, something joyful. In any case, I'm sending you a huge good luck! See you (I hope) very soon.

@mista: great observation.. I too have noticed an excess of "various mechanical parts" that are hardly traceable back to the original vehicles.. the very transformation process is overly exaggerated and "twisted". However, I have also noticed how the big robots perfectly fit into and interact with the environment and the characters.. All in all, among humans and robots, the ones that act worse are the former.. :DDD!

..to me it doesn’t seem that the reviewer has shown particular “closed-mindedness”. In fact, the piece you refer to as the most “operatic” - And Then Blablabla_ is defined as a masterpiece. I don’t see what the problem is. The idea that the more linear and less flashy songs are the most successful is a common opinion among many, without it being called obtuseness.. It’s not a matter of being operatic or not: simply, the more complex tracks suffer from an exaggerated production (as recognized by Kursch himself), from too many overdubs of guitars, keyboards, choirs, French horns, synthesizers, balalaikas, medieval farts.. everything, really. In the long run, they lose momentum, and it all becomes, rather than operatic, unnecessarily baroque and cloying. Much better, instead, when the band limits itself to developing its evolutionary path in a more measured way.. avoiding the phantom "step longer than the wooden leg".. One point off the review for the cover issue.. shameful..

@De-blob: what the hell do you want from me?!?.. I only left 3-comments-3, of which only half referred to Poletti (and that just to ask him something in a completely non-confrontational tone!) ?!?.. can you believe it.. maybe I’m one of the few who has never had anything to complain about with Poletti and you’re bothering me?!?.. and you think that’s a decent comment?!?.. and you call me pathetic?!.. on what grounds?!.. wash your mouth out, come on..
