As a former metalhead, I can tell you, Stoney, that you've said a ton of nonsense and a few things that are right. I'm not getting into the Slayer business, given personal preferences, but it's not true at all that metalheads consider their guitarists to be the best. If we look closely, prejudices exist both within and outside of metal. There are those outside metal who claim that metal guitarists are often all technique and no feeling, and others who say they’re show-offs. There are prejudices on both sides (including yours; with the insults and offenses you’ve made, you’d deserve to be sent to hell). As a former metalhead, I can tell you (on the Gilmour issue) that what makes Pink Floyd great is not the technique, but the enormous compositional ability, so I agree that Gilmour's technique is not outstanding (and technique isn’t everything and often doesn’t mean a damn). Meanwhile, many metalheads love King Crimson, so you’ve said something foolish. Among many of my metalhead acquaintances, Fripp is considered a genius. You generalize without realizing that even within metal, there are a ton of different metalheads. There are those tied to classic heavy metal, extreme metal, and fusion, so saying “metalhead” doesn’t mean a thing; metalheads are similar at concerts and gatherings. Even when I was a metalhead, I didn’t generalize and didn’t believe that metal guitarists were the best in the world. Sure, there was a time when I thought metal was the pinnacle of music, but I also listened to bands that had nothing to do with metal. At the end of the day, I can say I’m happy to have been a metalhead in the past; I enjoyed it because you feel part of a group of people you can talk to for hours and hours only about music, and who are truly passionate about what they do and listen to. But only those who have been metalheads can understand, eh. Stoney, how old are you, out of curiosity?

This album is not only a masterpiece of thrash but it's the bible from which all extreme metal and hardcore bands have drawn, a seminal album. The repetitiveness you perceive actually doesn’t exist; the album is only 29 minutes long and has an attitude very close to hardcore, thus aligning with the genre. Then, how is a track like "Raining Blood" (compared to the other slow and paced songs) similar to "Angel of Death" or "Necrophobic"? Explain that to me. You simply say that it’s not your genre and that listening to it is difficult for you.

this film is a mind trip and the approach has to be visual, meaning that if one expects a linear plot or an understanding of what the film is about, they will be disappointed. This is simply cinema, and if we let ourselves be caught up in the visionary nature of the images, it is certainly something memorable. Too cryptic and self-indulgent to deserve a 5 (in my opinion, Mulholland Drive is better), but anything less than a 4 is a crime. 4.5

Leaving aside the data given to zeitgeist that smells of years of TV information from Mentana, Vespa, the Vatican, and Cicap, a brave documentary, but as many have already said, imperfect, yet great for entering the rabbit hole, eh. Conspiracy theories are not a trend; a conspiracist is someone who creates conspiracies (and history is mostly made of conspiracies, and we Italians, with Ustica, P2, and state massacres, should by now be vaccinated, but unfortunately, no one ever learns anything), but especially thanks to the internet, people are informing themselves and there’s much more freedom—hence why today there’s much more talk of conspiracies, a subject that was once for the elite. The most interesting part, in my opinion, is the first one, the one about religion (albeit imperfect), while the economic one contains imperfections, but it’s also a great introduction to understanding the economic scam in which we live.

the film is beautiful, brad pitt is great in this film, even Bruce Willis has an unusual role compared to his usual "hard to kill". Brazil is more visionary, but this one is more enjoyable.

The first season was excellent, the second was good but too melodramatic and it starts to show cracks (some soap opera tendencies); for this reason, I didn't continue watching and I stopped at the beginning of the third season. Maybe one day I'll pick it up again to find out something about the butcher's identity, eh! Anyway, overall it's an original series!

I instead disagree with the idea that only "moving pictures" and "2112" do not have filler tracks, because if we look at "2112," there's "lessons," which I like but is considered filler by many. And then, in "hemispheres," what are the filler tracks? In "farewell to kings," how can you consider "cinderella" and "madrigal" as fillers? I really like them and they fit well in the context of the albums, in that pastoral and dreamlike atmosphere of the whole album. In my opinion, the real fillers were introduced by Rush from "presto" onward; "roll the bones" and "counterparts" have some tracks that are a bit "unnecessary," indeed.

I've never liked guns, not even in the past; even with the double album, they were a pain in the ass. However, reviewer, you made a fool of yourself, and so did the commentators who voted based on prejudice and not on listening. You reviewed a different album.

I should rewatch the movie just for the soundtrack; back then I was far from knowing Cure, Nin, and Pantera. Anyway, beautiful atmospheres, a charismatic actor perfectly suited for the role (who became part of legend for his death on set). At that time, it was a film that greatly impacted me and my friends. A 4 for the memories.

I agree with Kembruck. Compared to the previous and even the subsequent albums (Signals, Grace Under Pressure), it feels a bit understated, but it still has historical tracks like "Natural Science" and "Freewill." "Different Strings" is excellent, while "Jacob's Ladder" is too long; it has a fantastic start, but then it loses its way with those synthesizers and becomes dull. "Spirit of the Radio" is nice, and "Entre Nous" is great and underrated, even by Rush (never played live or perhaps only during the tour of this album). A 4-.
