I'm sorry Mjollnir, but why are you doing this? I just want to deepen my knowledge of the magical world of pagan culture, and as a result, I'm seeking information. Look, since you study ancient history, could you tell me how Pegasus managed to get to the house of Gemini and, therefore, defeat all the Gold Saints, thus saving Lady Isabel aka Goddess Athena? And especially, is Kenshiro really that unbeatable? What do the historical documents you've studied say, does he have a weak point?

As Aniel...

...a significant dose of subjectivity, of course.

I'm sorry, Ashanti, but your reasoning is full of holes. Let's be clear, not about Consoli, whom I don't know and therefore can't judge, but about the alleged well-documented commerciality of Nirvana or other bands.
You see, the commerciality of a band, in my opinion, derives from the size of the audience it can reach and from the records sold. As far as I know, Nirvana never claimed to make commercial music. Nevermind was anything but commercial at the time of its release; in fact, initially, nobody cared about it. Nirvana became commercial mainly due to the image exploitation that followed Cobain's death.
Commercial music, unless we are talking about the Finley or other groups made up of kids and engineered to reach teenagers, is filtered through a significant dose of objectivity, in my view. What may seem commercial to me might not be to you, and there would be thousands of examples in this sense.
I'm sorry, but I find it absurd to criticize someone for commercializing strictly because they found success and are playing at Festivalbar. What would you do in their place? Keep playing in pubs? C’mon, it's easy to judge when you aren't dealing with money. A little mental flexibility is needed on this matter.

I completely agree with Fusillo, in every way. In my opinion, the criticism of being too long is one that can be directed at the thousandth review of Dream Theater or Tool, but not at this one, which, besides being well-written, is also very interesting and, most importantly, not boring. Regards.

But how, Ashanti, you called me out for criticizing Nirvana, thinking I was accusing them of commercialization, and then I find you making these speeches that are a waste of time on the console (which, just to be clear, I don't like). A bit of consistency wouldn't hurt.
I ask you, Mista, since you play in a band, if a major label offered to produce an album for you or to participate in Festivalbar, would you refuse because it doesn’t align with your goal of not compromising too much?
P.S.: If it wasn’t clear, this is an indirect criticism of what Ashanti wrote. Regards.

So let's see, Black Sabbath, Tiamat, Sentenced...
Yes, I think this will do just fine.

Greetings.

As you rightly said at the beginning, Helloween are and will always be Kiske and the two Keepers. No matter how hard Deris tries, he simply can't match Kiske, and it's clear that albums with Deris on vocals will be disregarded by the old fans of the band (myself included), as you have pointed out. In my opinion, Helloween will always be the two Keepers and the previous era. The review is written quite well and the effort is commendable, but if you want a piece of advice, try to be less biased and avoid repeating adjectives like "fantastic," "excellent," "wonderful," "they never get it wrong," etc., even when it's not really necessary. Rating: 3.5.

Hi Fjell, the review is well written as usual (and I’m glad that you occasionally change your style, I completely agree) but allow me to say that I just can't stand In Flames, both because musically, in my opinion, they aren't worth much, and because they've let themselves rot with those awful American nu sounds in an attempt to achieve more success.
Greetings from the warmth of southern Italy to the (I believe) coolness of Finland.
