Oh my, what an eyesore.
There are mistakes that even in kindergarten they wouldn't make.
A proofreading, no?

Masterpiece.

If this is a masterpiece, I am Alexander the Great.
I agree with everything Bartleboom wrote, whom I salute.
A record of rare ugliness, filled with embellishments and gaudy sounds like few others.
In short, a real mess for, in my opinion, one of the most overrated metal bands of all time.

There remains an undisputed underlying truth: that you're a big jerk.
And trust me, the things you say you wouldn’t say to my face.
You can be 100% sure of that. Goodbye.

Do you think that with these childish provocations I will lower myself to your level? My "big asshole" is fully justified for anyone who reads what you wrote in the review of "La vita è bella." I occasionally deal with types like you who shout from behind because they don’t have the balls to repeat or say the same things face to face. And I wonder why, after a few words from me, they always have their tails between their legs.

N.i.b.i.o., I've already written what I think of you, and that is that you're a big jerk.
Talking about music with you, or any other topic, doesn't interest me.

Do you think that if you don't like it, I'll be here criticizing you? If you don't like it, who cares. I repeat, mine was a disinterested piece of advice after seeing your blog, also to seek a serene comparison and an exchange of ideas. If you want another piece of advice, swallow a sugar packet in the morning, so you'll be less sour for the rest of the day.

Everything the anonymous person wrote is absolutely true and helps you understand why I seem so harsh with the current gothic scene. Listen to it and then you'll give me your opinion.

Lovelorn, I also listen to stuff other than gothic, believe it or not. Mine was just an unselfish piece of advice. I understand that you don't want to be categorized. Neither do I. But it’s undeniable that the vast majority of the bands you listen to predominantly have a gothic component. Follow my advice, buy the album I told you about, and look into it as well as the history of those years. You will understand why 90% of the groups that emerged after the release of that album in gothic (be it metal, rock, electro, or otherwise) are heavily influenced by that record or are simple clones of the Sisters.
In this regard, to better explain what the evolution was following the release of First and Last and Always, I’ll quote an anonymous user’s comment that is sacred truth: “A fundamental album for understanding two realities: 1) the sincere and spontaneous nature of early gothic 2) the starting point and source of inspiration for many mediocre bands and for a genre that has practically become a caricature of itself. I’ll quickly justify my statements: the Sisters were a band full of talent, led by an intelligent leader (not to mention a particularly cultured person) and eccentric. These qualities come to life in the notes and lyrics of ‘First and Last...’, making it a unique and superlative album. It is, however, true that the baritone vocals, apocalyptic atmospheres, and vampiric aesthetic of our band will serve as a launching pad for hundreds of idea-less and personality-less groups, bands that will crowd the gothic scene and make many indifferent fans happy. That said, I reiterate my total, and now long-standing, respect for the founding fathers of gothic rock. Name: | Date: 9/4/2007 | Rating: — | Album Rating: —”

Lovelorn, I took a look at your blog and I find it nice, but I have to make a note.
In my opinion, you can’t call yourself a true fan of gothic if you don’t know all the notes of the first album by the Sisters of Mercy by heart, from which it all started and without which, perhaps, the entire gothic movement in rock, metal, and electronic music wouldn't exist.
It’s currently available in a remastered version with an excellent package for 15 euros.
Don’t let it slip away.
P.S.: of course, I’m just talking about my own issues in this "review" for the evident uselessness of both it and the "band" being "reviewed."
