Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy

I would just like to point out that the author of all the solos is a certain Buckhead. Even though he has left the band for several years, he appears as the author of the main solos in almost all the songs. The solos in Sorry and especially in There Was a Time are something superb. He would surely hold his own in a hypothetical ranking of the top 50 rock solos. Beyond that, the absence of the "old" rhythm section in this LP is a notable absence only for nostalgic spirits. Duff, Matt, and Slash have been largely replaced. Surely, the added value of Guns was not them... the story, especially the current one, of Guns and Velvet Revolver seems to have demonstrated that well.

Macaco, the sale of the CD has been banned in China... Narcissistic self-celebration of Axl Rose: genius.

Queen + Paul Rodgers The Cosmos Rocks

Rodgers' voice is not inferior to Mercury's; it’s simply a different voice. I appreciated Queen with Mercury, but I try to look at things without the distorting lens of preconceived bias. AC/DC carried on without Bon Scott, Genesis without Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd without Waters, and in all cases something good still came from the remaining pen. I don’t understand why this album is being brutally slammed when compared to works like Hot Space, it stands a good inch and a half above it. Death brings emphasis, and as often happens, this time the courage and skill of truly deserving artists have been aborted by the pessimism of (almost) everyone. Great album, Mercury's legacy is in good hands.

I'm really publishing it... But not about Pink Floyd, rather on "Results-Based Management"... well, in the end, what's the difference?......

I could have also appreciated a review of a pseudo-album if you had set it in a futuristic key... In reality, we all know that this record is destined to remain in the limbo of the imagination for a long time yet. Paradoxically, this is its true strength, that of transcending its music. In itself, it doesn't make sense to discuss some songs over others, considering that the album, as it stands, does not exist. I do agree, however, on the quality of some tracks, but this does not save your review from being overly dismissive and, I would say, perhaps even inappropriate.

and I Demolition....underrated album with nu metal traits..(it's worth highlighting how the exaggerated intimate vein with Nostradamus starts to snake through since that album...noteworthy especially for a superlative performance by TIM...)

Who knows why the "natural recipient" of this immense work, without even appreciating the great consideration (fully deserved...) of this "dedication of mine," continues to uphold the idea immediately following the first reading of this review... "crazy maniac, get help... and if I'm saying it, you know I'm a psychologist...". Ah Biagio Biagio, what are you up to... I've heard you're in line for an honorary degree in psychology...

In fact, perhaps inadvertently, you've hit the nail on the head. Let me explain: if today a band, say, like Saxon were to release an Operation Mindcrime or, "worse," a "Tommy"... what kind of reception would they get from the public? The same that was reserved for "Nostradamus"... Rest assured that if such an album had been made by Queensryche, we would all have cried out in Miracle... Unfortunately, mental association is an often too conditioning factor... and it doesn't allow us to evaluate things for what they truly deserve.

Usual blinkered "metallic" fundamentalism. What is judged is what is expected and not what is actually listened to. The only flaw of this album is that it was birthed by a heavy band, not by a rock band. A colossal and intimate work; a step above all the banal adespotic things that continue to plague the genre. However, it is worth noting an evident plagiarism of Tipton and Randy Rhoads in the intro "sands of time," which is too "close" to that unsurpassed masterpiece of metallic psychedelia, Diary of a Madman.
