Known recently for the album "All Mirrors", it doesn't really do it for me. It's a bit whiny (like so many things in recent years, but what the hell is wrong with everyone, are they all depressed?) and her voice annoys me right away. I might try something from the past, but just as a formality.

This is also a fantastic album (purchased on day-1), but damn, I find it the hardest to digest by far; I don't think I've ever managed to listen to it from start to finish. I would say it's overwhelming, perhaps too much.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I recently listened to New Horizon from 2018 again, that one hits hard too.

I wasn't aware of this new project from the renowned firm Martin & Broadrick. I'm rushing to listen!

I gave this album a quick listen, just like all the previous ones, but nothing. These bands that do "old style" rock 99.9% of the time I find to be plastic and uninteresting (unless we're talking about fun genres like party garage rock). Maybe they produce well-crafted stuff, but they're missing that secret ingredient that only those who lived through the golden age can have.

I wouldn't know what to say, I've never seen a Zalone film. And as a comedian, I've only seen him maybe a couple of times in total, maybe I'll start with this one if I have time and motivation left.

I’ll have to listen, these groups are always entertaining. P.S. = am I wrong or did Little Steven have (or still has, I don’t know) a radio show where he talked about '60s garage music?

Very nice the review and historically significant the album. I agree with the part about the decline of jazz, but rock has played a significant role in this. It’s a fact that, after the explosion of the Beatles and Dylan in the mid-'60s, jazz has steadily declined and hasn’t had the "ball in hand" during the crucial possession, remaining a benchwarmer with excellent insights ready to step in when needed. Now it’s a language that still has great interpreters and good ideas, but relegated to a "niche genre!" (quote from Balasso), the same fate that rock faced a few decades later (in the present day). And coincidentally, it is precisely the powerful genre that better captures the essence of society, its strengths and weaknesses. Jazz until the end of the '50s, rock until the end of the '80s, hip-hop from then onward.
