I don't know them, but if, as I fear, they took their name from the homonymous and yet another crappy book by Coelho, they're definitely starting off on the wrong foot with me.. well!.. I'll listen..

@Bonny91: "it's clear you understand music"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?(..great repetition..)..but if this review is filled with nonsense?!?????..we're out of this world.. and come on, Christ, read these reviews again!! I think of mementomori: he writes huge reviews, ten times longer than this one, and I've never found even a typo in his work. Here, damn it, with repetitions, forgotten object complements, accents placed randomly, it's a mess.. and it's only about fifteen lines long!! Forgive me, macellapassere, but it's indefensible.

..well..Switzerland has also been the homeland of one of the most ragged thrash groups of all time: the unknown Carrion!..their "Evil Is There" isn't bad, but they had faces that were a mix of butt-ugly/grotesque and delirious: Error 404 - page not found - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives !!

I admit I approached this album mostly out of curiosity for the cover. I've always hated black metal, but I must say this record has its merits, not to mention the experimental journey the band would later embark on: to say the least, it was brave! Coming to the review: some passages are a bit confusing, but you are always very good at recovering lesser-known bands and albums and handling them with expertise. Bye!

..so you can say that you consider it "exquisite" from the perspective of personality and songwriting.. not technique!!..look, Paranoid, N.I.B., Children of the Grave, and dozens of other Black Sabbath songs are exactly the first ones that every aspiring metal guitarist learns to play, precisely because they are basic technically. I repeat: Iommi is God. But he is NOT a technical monster!!! P.S.: I just noticed that you also reviewed Paranoid.. I repeat: avoid duplicates. You’re just starting out and that’s fine.. but if you keep discovering hot water, the other users (myself included) are going to get upset and start piling up. Best regards.

..mmm.. I've never liked track by track reviews: I think it would have been better to talk about the feelings and the overall atmosphere of the album.. The Sabbath (especially the ones with Ozzy) are gods, end of story. But to define them as "technically superb" is simply an exaggeration. One last thing: it seems like you’ve been writing for a while.. well, if you want a piece of advice, try to review albums that aren't on the site. The last thing we need is another thetrooper teaching us how great "In Rock" by the Purple is.. @festwca: I see your Pentagram and raise you St. Vitus! :)! Bye!

I subscribe to IlRe.. good - and quite a lot -, but for Odin, Bisius, I hope you manage to stretch it out as much in bed too!:D! For example, I think the first two paragraphs could have remained on the keyboard without compromising the review.. oh well! I really listened to them very little, more out of curiosity than real interest. So, at first glance, I’d say they annoy me worse than a rosary of Gutalax pearls, but MAYBE it depends on my visceral hatred for New School metalcore-HC and all this much-touted meanness, which is all the same and incredibly boring.. Oh well! A matter of taste. Bye and Happy New Year!

I haven’t had the chance to see/hear it yet… “Requiem For A Dream” is among my all-time favorite films, but IHIP’s comment doesn’t leave me feeling optimistic. Regarding the review: I’ve already expressed my doubts multiple times on various occasions about your writing style (which are the same as many other users). At this point, I’d say it’s pointless for me to repeat myself. Best regards.
