Many legends surround Captain Beefheart, and he is quite overrated (his albums are not overrated; it’s his persona). Zappa was certainly much further ahead than Beefheart, who was more instinctual and always needed a piece of paper to read his lyrics. Moreover, especially early in his career, he had difficulty keeping time. So read a bit more autobiographies before praising and labeling artists as geniuses. Besides, Beefheart was actually launched by Zappa; it’s not a competition about who is better, it’s simply the truth.

Alice Cooper Along Came A Spider

Actually, someone with your nickname "punk" should definitely be able to tolerate it, considering that, as the Sex Pistols themselves declared (assuming you like '70s punk), the singer took significant inspiration from Alice, especially in terms of vocal style. Check out his works from the '70s.

stunning album, there isn't a weak track, the guitar sound in "dead" is beautiful. A masterpiece!

Muse Origin Of Symmetry

Instead, regarding the iconic albums of the time, perhaps it’s one of the few good parts of the review. It’s fine that some people hate hard rock, but whether they like it or not, Deep Purple's "In Rock" or better yet, "Made in Japan," was an important album and among the most significant of the '70s (I’m not saying it’s the best). However, the concept of live music brought in that album by Deep Purple changed many things. It’s also normal that in the early '70s there were other iconic rock albums (like those by Led Zeppelin or Bowie). Here we’re not talking about better or more influential albums for a certain genre, but about iconic albums, which is quite different, and I think that Starblazer has been very correct in this regard.

The album is a semi-masterpiece; the chorus of "my plug in baby" once listened to, never leaves your head. A truly remarkable album, it's a shame that in the following albums they've become increasingly a parody of themselves (let's say the album that follows this one is still quite good, even if it's inferior to "origin"), but here they are a great rock band, one of the best of the early millennium.
Starblazer, you put in all the good will, but you missed the mark on the genres. Okay, never get too hung up on genres, but using psychedelia, progressive, and grunge to present this album (even hard rock) really is a way to confuse those who haven't listened to the album yet and who knows what they might expect. 4.5

Roman Polanski Rosemary's Baby

Here’s how, without using blood and dismemberment, Polansky manages to create unease and terror in a way that has few equals. A masterpiece! In the same genre, still by Polansky (even if there’s more unease than terror), is "L'inquilino del terzo piano," another beautiful film starring Polansky himself.

Klimt 1918 Just In Case We'll Never Meet Again

I keep saying that maybe "but really" you don't know some genres, because just because a band uses melody doesn't mean it's pop or from MTV. After the war, melody was very present, yet it was an album far from MTV's standards. And then the Klimt are not metal, and I say this because to many who don't like metal but enjoy alternative rock or similar sounds, they could like it a lot.

But this is good, metal-pop from MTV to Klimt 1918!!!! Which, by the way, has nothing to do with metal; at the beginning, maybe some timid influence. Come on guys, let's not shoot nonsense; we Italians should be proud of a band like this. If it's even half as good as "Dopoguerra," it's an awesome record.

I absolutely disagree; well, it's your opinion expressed in a not superficial way, but I think you haven't listened to the album enough because 2 stars are truly few for an album like this, especially for someone (like you seem to be) who loves kraut rock.

Steven Spielberg Schindler's list

Voto:

In agreement with alessioiride and occultosupersovrano, a well-made film (Spielberg remains a great director, perhaps among the best technicians in the trade) but it's a film so rhetorical and propagandistic that it doesn’t tell the story; like all of his films, the fairytale aspect prevails.

I actually read a nice review of this film where the author lamented that Spielberg missed the mark in wanting to make a historical film. This is not a historical film; it follows the same structure as his previous films, his previous fairy tales. Moreover, those who want to keep their blinders on can do so, but Spielberg remains a non-independent director, and his films have purposes that go beyond mere artistic value. I also give it a 3. Fortunately, Hollywood is fading.
