The review is well written, but, in my opinion, it falls precisely into the flaw you stated you wanted to avoid ("the usual mushy words and the déjà-vus that are associated with a poetic figure never sufficiently defined"). I would have liked you to dwell a bit more on the sound of this album (and in this, I quote kosmo). Regarding the statement "Iggy Pop is funny," I can only shake my head in perplexity and disapproval. Hello everyone!

..less visits.. fewer comments.. cosmic chatter for nonsense (see Enrybaxx's meltdown).. reviews that end up on the third page after a very short time, most often with very few comments.. who knows.. in short, I didn’t want to give anyone right or wrong (..by the way: in case it wasn’t clear, my comment was not meant to be polemic towards you!!), just saying that in my opinion Bisius hasn’t been such a negative presence for the site lately as it seems from this page. That’s all! Bye!

I also intervene sadly, and in partial disagreement with Fidia, to break a lance in favor of Bisius. I believe that his debut on this site was among the worst possible, but I also think that over time he has "adjusted his aim," limiting himself in both the number and (though not always) the tone of his contributions (even if I acknowledge that he hasn’t done much honor in this page..). Not to mention that his latest reviews (which are also numerically limited) may have been lengthy, but they were well-written and I would say well-received and appreciated by many users (I'm not referring to this one - which I haven't read due to time issues - but to the one about Goblins, for example..). I admit that I don't quite recognize myself on this site lately, that I no longer feel “at home” like a few months ago, but in my opinion (and perhaps I am being naïve) if things have been going a bit awry recently, it certainly isn't Bisius's fault. Warm regards to everyone! Bye!
Running Wild Death Or Glory
Voto:
Surely among the best, if not THE best of the Running Wild discography (it competes with "Under Jolly Roger," "BHI," and a few others..). This review is too simplistic: in practice, it is only in Italy that RW haven't had the luck they deserved, even during the peak period of power metal. In Germany, they were for a long time the leaders: just think that they used to have the reconstruction of a ship's bow on stage. This album, in particular, was truly a significant commercial success. Sorry to say it, but even in this review you exaggerated with the enthusiasm of your tone: this is an excellent power metal album, but, like all albums of this genre, over the long term it proves to be too compact, melodic, and "catchy." The track-by-track analysis was not necessary at all, while it might have been appropriate to mention that "Bad To The Bone" aims to be a firm condemnation of Nazism... mmm... I'm realizing that this new layout not only made me lose the desire to send reviews, but also soured my comments... oh well!... it's better if I don’t vote! Bye!
Pain Of Salvation One Hour By The Concrete Lake

"The phenomenon of pollution present in that lake" and "the most at risk in the whole world for pollution" had me laughing so hard!!!:DDDD!!!!! I think it would have been better if you translated "pollution" as "contamination"!:DDD Anyway, great review, bye!
Black Sabbath Never Say Die
Voto:
It's a duplicate, but it's not written badly. I don't agree with some of your statements ("Technical.." terrible album?!? / the judgment on Junior's Eyes.. among others), but overall (even though it's very long and I skipped some parts due to time.. sorry..) I think it's really good. Well done! That said, forgive me but I want to use this page to share my thoughts on the new website layout. At first, I thought it was a joke.. really!! Now, a few days after its launch, honestly, I wonder what advantages this new design is supposed to bring. I don't want to stir up controversy, I just want to understand. It's not a matter of taste, but of functionality. There's only one review that stays on the homepage for.. I don't know.. half an hour?!? and then it's replaced without any criteria by another that might be complete rubbish (as has already happened). In the meantime, good reviews (like this one) go straight to the second page, which, by the way, only contains 20 reviews. (Or did it stay on the first page for fifteen minutes and I didn't notice?!?). I repeat, I don't want to stir up controversy, I just want to understand: was it really necessary?!.. since I signed up, I've had some issues with message notifications, there's been multiple occasions where the need to update the list of genres for cataloging reviewed albums has come up, when sending a private message you have to close the page.. in short: weren't there more "urgent" interventions to improve the site?! Hi everyone. Sorry again Axl for the intrusion.. bye..
Stryper Can't Stop The Rock: The Stryper Collection 1984-1991
Voto:
To tell the truth, they never really drove me crazy, even if "To Hell.." is a good album.. The review wouldn't be bad, but it's perhaps a little too enthusiastic considering the actual value of the band, and it says too little about the album. Best regards!
