However, thinking about it again, it's not so bad after all... (I'm a bit "moody" today.)

Well...

I meant to say yours and Ege's... ;-)

I will also gladly take Odra's advice and carefully browse through all the records he has reviewed. Thank you all.

For Odra: perhaps you have grasped the point of the matter, because I actually discovered the bad a couple of years ago thanks to an older friend who is an extreme connoisseur of the 80s new wave and darkwave.
For Ege: the comparison with the records of the Cure (obviously Pornography is immense) and the other bands I mentioned was made not with the intent of comparing them stylistically because I am aware of the differences, but, in line with what I hinted at in the conclusion, to assert that, in my opinion, and I repeat, as a latecomer to the band, the album I reviewed should hold the same importance as others that made history in those years.
Have a good day, everyone.

Ozzy was my idol as a teenager, and this album was the first one I bought, along with Blizzard and Diary, one of the best. Good and passionate reception. Definitely a 5, even though I haven't listened to the madman in a while now.

For this reason, I’m also pleased with the sharing and appreciation for this band of yours and Tabba’s (I hope it’s not just about you two ;-D)

For Odra: it was not my intention to make comparisons between JD's albums and those of Sound. I just want to reflect the true value of the band and its essence, even through a parallel between the master (Curtis) and one of his best students (Borland). A band that, as I have already mentioned, has been unjustly underrated and musically can convey intense emotions at least as much as the more renowned groups of the genre.

Let it be clear that I like contemporary art (in almost all its facets, from figurative to conceptual), and some of these are among my favorites (I mention, for example, Paladino, simply brilliant and terrifying at the same time, Chia, Kostabi). I am very intrigued by Fontana's slashes, Vedova's spots, Burri's sacks, not to mention Manzoni's provocations.
But on certain things, it's beyond me; I just can't do it. I find some forms of "art" simply hateful, like, for example, Cattelan's installations (can you tell me what is artistic about a stuffed horse hanging on the wall?) or Hirst's sections of animals in formaldehyde.
It has nothing to do with Manzoni's corrosive provocations and his "merda d'artista."
Regarding Reznor and industrial, I must repeat, it's simply a matter of taste.
The fact that he has been one of the most influential composers of the last 15 years is certainly not something I discovered; it’s quite evident (just think of the hundreds of collaborations with the most diverse bands). Good night to everyone.

For Undying: I will gladly take your advice. What do you think of Tim Burton?
He is my favorite director along with Kubrick. I've already said my piece about Reznor. Cheers.
