Depeche Mode Black Celebration

Voto:

Really great album, there are very few songs to disregard. Perhaps the best of their '80s era.

Depeche mode Speak & Spell

Voto:

More than beautiful, it's nice. Anyway, "Photographic" is exceptional.

Easycure, I can partially agree with you when you say that Depeche Mode are worth more for their sound than for their compositional fantasy, but you’ve gone a bit overboard by defining all their production as trivial little songs. If that’s the case, the Beatles and the Cure also made plenty of "little songs." And besides, they can’t be compared to Suicide or Kluster, which are entirely different things.

Guns And Roses Use Your Illusion 1&2

Of course, Dream Warrior, it could very well end with a "De gustibus non disputandum est," as tastes are subjective and everyone has the right to listen to whatever they want. It is, however, objective that the Guns have not changed a single comma in the history of rock and have merely recycled others' ideas, as I have already explained in more detail in my opinion on "Appetite for Destruction."

KoRn Take A Look In The Mirror

I consider Korn to be the best representatives of nu-metal (though that's not saying much). What ruins their music is mainly the ability to express only this rhetorical, mannered, and cartoonish rage that is perfect for the entrance of the "bad guys" in wrestling. "Rage against the cappuccino machine."

Usually your reviews amuse me, Vic, but this one seems a bit too moralistic.

Well, if that's the case, I'll give you the well-deserved 5! :-)

I said 4.

Great review, I also agree that we should flush Guns’n’Roses and their entire discography down the rock toilet. I’m giving you only 4 stars because you wrote that they started decently with "Appetite for Destruction," which for me is just the same old fluff.

The Cure Wish

That the Cure haven’t hit the mark since “Disintegration” is a widely held opinion, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s rather false; the value of their discography is more consistent than one might think. Sure, the music of the 90s and 2000s sounds less “fresh,” but the songwriting has remained top-notch. So for me, “Three Imaginary Boys,” “Seventeen Seconds,” “Pornography,” and “Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me” are not the immense masterpieces that some claim, and neither do “Wish,” “Wild Mood Swings,” “Bloodflowers,” and “The Cure” completely suck.
