Marilyn Manson Lest We Forget (The Best Of)
Voto:
I would be even more astounded... (or, as they say, WHAT SADNESS):
"...an incredibly original sound, seemingly raw, but that, upon closer listening, reveals a fine intricacy of carefully crafted sounds..."
Media storms, you say?
It might be more appropriate (perhaps) to define them as BLUFF/CLOWNISH (with all due respect to true jesters: those who still manage the difficult task of making us smile and/or reflect), don’t you think?
Excuse me but... is it possible that, by any chance, you really made a mistake in your de-review of the band??
(A nice de-gustibus, in any case, always fits wonderfully...)

Dear Ossian1973, with all due respect, please read the thesis-smasher better.. I would have argued:
"Area, Negazione, Pankow, Raw Power, Kina, C.C.C.P. (just a few old names thrown in there..)"
I mentioned names (indeed) OLD..
I don't think C.S.I. (wonderful LINEA GOTICA, en passant..) fits into this category, do I?
At least, chronologically it doesn't seem to relate to the de-listed Litfiba album in question.
Sales/mass approval (as someone suggests) do not contribute anything (according to those who humbly reply) from a qualitative perspective to any artistic musical proposal and beyond.
That’s all. Aufidersen.

Dear Monsieur Pas Mal,
I am happy to respond and without any polemical intent (..why should I have any?): being almost in my forties and having enjoyed a plethora of acoustic frivolities (..which I liked a lot, including Candlemass), I merely wanted to point out that doom (both metal and hard rock etc. etc.) existed (albeit not with the same "specific weight") prior to their intriguing "entry into the scene." Without resorting to the "Stone Age" (Black Sabbath, Pentagram etc.), I was specifically referring to the pioneering Witchfinder General, Saint Vitus, and more contemporaneous Trouble (Americans) who, already in the first half of the eighties, with a couple of albums released via Metal Blade, tackled this "type" of discourse (both musically and lyrically) with remarkable results. That’s all. Thank you for your attention (provided there was any, of course).
Your (ancient) Wrecking Ball.
Slayer Reign in Blood

But is he talking about or against me, Mr. Big D? I sincerely thank you for your generous educational/slayerian attempt; just one little question (easy-peasy): Are you by any chance Araya or perhaps Hanneman by last name?
I would kindly like to point out that in my writing, it seems I did not heavily insult you (as, by the way, you did without batting an eye with absolute nonchalance...), nor did I ramble vainly about assorted metal/satanisms (purely a product of your fervent, pregnant imagination). As for the "good" (evidently, I missed something...) Tom Araya, I would have specifically mentioned (please reread with greater attention) the "interesting" (perhaps even in your view) positions regarding the Chilean dictatorship... It may also be (indeed, with absolute certainty) that the writing-wrecker cannot read (please be kind, teach me how to decode the cryptic/enlightened textual tercets...) the ethically profound and saturated with humanity, Slayerian texts (whoever in the band wrote them should kindly arm themselves with patience and embrace, beyond the roaring guitar, also some not overly in-depth historical tomes... even some Sepulveda wouldn't be bad... a suggestion, obviously, to be extended to the unsuspecting listeners).
Unfortunately, we humble-vetero smashers of mephitic carcasses do not possess any brain connection... providence willed that people with your lucidity compensate for this heavy shortcoming.
Listen... one last doubt: but, according to you, that "nice guy" Pinochet is to be considered (Tom said it...) an innocent victim of the internal regime-overthrowing conspiracies (he also added: he did well to do what he did...)?
p.s. If Tom says it, we must trust him, right?
p.s. 2 Please-do-me-the-pleasure, do it for me!! (the great De Curtis).

"...the greatest Italian rock band (of the past, let’s be clear!).."
SHE SAYS? Are you absolutely sure??
(Excuse me, but what does your birth certificate say?)
Aside from the indispensable/constantly present Latin phrase, De Gustibus, I have the unpleasant feeling that I’ve truly missed something in the last 10/20 years in the "tricolor rock" scene. Objectively, the little group (forgive my reductionism) in question has never stood out for original/genius musical ideas; rather, they had a certain compositional freshness initially (which inevitably collapsed within just a few seasons..) that still didn’t allow them to reach any significant qualitative position.
(If "selling" constitutes Quality, then we are, sadly, speaking two different languages..)
Area, Negazione, Pankow, Raw Power, Kina, C.C.C.P. (just a few ancient names thrown in at random..): do they mean nothing to you (beyond the De Gustibus mentioned above..)?

Thank you for the friendly and astonished (?) welcome.. what can I say: let's hope that the waste management company doesn't come to "visit us" too often.

Disconcertment is the immediate definition prompted by the listening of the new Reznor "work": if for you, to trivialize (further and dangerously) the already quite "fragile" structures of the recent past means to create (de gustibus) "a sound... decidedly more human": for goodness' sake, you are free to express the above (we are, after all, in a democratic regime... AD PERSONAM, but still democracy). I find the new course (let's say from 1995 onwards…) taken by the charismatic (?) leader increasingly disappointing and notably suffocating... the clear, exciting experimentation of cornerstone episodes like "Broken" or its fascinating mini of devastating remixes is (unfortunately) just a diminished memory now.
Tracks unworthy of any other square/useful NU Metal sensation (mamma-mia: what sadness..). Let’s briefly analyze just the first track: it promises well: dark, circular, serpentine... then Trent "goes crazy", sets everything aside to unleash a chilling anthem-like jingle/pop that is truly DISCONCERTING.. (to be kind). The issue isn't the use of limbs or computers... here it's the introductory "brain" that no longer seems capable of generating anything brave and intriguing for us, the weary listeners.
In any case, a healthy DE GUSTIBUS, to conclude, I believe fits wonderfully. Your S.C. of (dis)trust.
Kraftwerk Tour de France Soundtracks
Voto:
I have adored/loved/idolized Kraftwerk. (period) At least until some tracks on Electric Café (1986); then the long, endless, unfathomable, unjustifiable oblivion. Hutter and Schneider, also exhausting the patience of their "Autobahn" companions, hang their holograms on the classic (virtual) nail. Sixteen (that is, 16) years after that vinyl legacy, incredibly, they reappear before an already incredulous international audience with the maxi-single for the infamous "Expo" in Germany: four themes on the same sonic track: really too much, such a overwhelming wait for little or nothing.. an ever more scalding disappointment (after such expectations..); albeit with their unmistakable trademark, a sadly/banally electronic piece in the strict sense, with no flight of fancy in it, executable and recordable (practically) by anyone and with very rare points of interest: we're at the old/fluch/electronic without head or tail (now explained the long music stile). More (too many) years of waiting, then the improbable return in more or less assembled rows (so to speak) with this exhausting and indeed very little (aero)"dynamiko" (despite a few tracks, few indeed, still acceptable..) "Soundtrack for the Tour de France": a feeling (really, sorry to say) of (electro)re-heated soup with undeniably spectacular sounds. Ralf, Florian.. where have the archaic intuitions, the phantasmagorias/robotics (just to name one title) of a piece like "The Model" (really, still OUT OF TIME) or the space-time adventures/floatings of accessible, yet inimitable albums like "Computer World" or "Radioactivity" gone? The sound-machine (in the opinion of the humble writer) is semi-unavoidably floundering: sounds seemingly alive/vital, the result of current times and the surely meticulous work behind the console in the infamous Kling Klang recording studios... but the soul dear Kraftwerk, the soul.. has remained down there, hanging along with your noble/timeless holograms. A theoretically and practically unjudgeable record (out of decency?). P.S. I have adored/loved/idolized Kraftwerk. (period)

I adored/loved/idolized Kraftwerk. (period) At least until some tracks on Electric Café (1986); then the long, endless, inexpressible, unjustifiable oblivion. Hutter and Schneider, also exhausting the patience of their "autobahn" companions, hang their holograms on the classic (virtual) hook.
Sixteen (that is, sedici) years after that vinyl legacy, (few were really circulating back then..) incredibly, they reappear to the now incredulous international audience with the single for the infamous "Expo" in Terra di Germania: four themes on the same sonic track: truly too much, excessive, languorous anticipation for little or nothing... an increasingly piercing disappointment (after such waits..): although they retain their unmistakable trademark, a sadly/banally electronic piece in the strict sense, executable and recordable (practically) by anyone and with very few moments of interest: we are facing veteran electronics without head or tail (perhaps now we understand the long silence).
More (too many) years of waiting, then the improbable return to compact ranks (so to speak) with the exhausting and hardly (aero)"dynamiko" (despite a few tracks, few indeed, that are still acceptable..) "Soundtracks for the Tour de France": the feeling (truly, I regret to say) of (electro)reheated soup with sounds (this yes) spectacular. Where have the archaic intuitions gone, to name just one title, the phantasmagoric/robotic elements of a track like "The Model" (truly, still OUT OF TIME) or the space-time adventures/flows of albums that are accessible yet unmatched like "Computer World"?
This double "live"... what to say? The sounds come across as they are, products of the time and current technologies (certainly impeccable): historical/everlasting pearls rehashed and presented for the (truly) umpteenth time... but the soul, dear Kraftwerk, the soul has remained back there, hanging together with your noble holograms.
An unjudgable record (for decency?) in the opinion of one who humbly writes. P.S. I adored/loved/idolized Kraftwerk. (period)
