More than a piece of history, I would say it’s the inglorious end of a good story (that of the STP). They had reformed only to make money, and it shows very clearly. Truly lacking in inspiration.

Yes, Entwistle was one of the greatest bassists of all time. As for live performances, I definitely prefer Live at Leeds.

The best live performance by Neil ever: no one can play fucking loud like he does. The version of crime city is simply explosive.

Red Hot Chili Peppers One Hot Minute

I believe this album stands the test of time beautifully, and this is largely due to Navarro. Thanks to him, the RHCP attempted to ride the grunge wave and modify their sound. They succeeded only in part, but that’s that. Tracks like "Warped," "One Hot Minute," or "Shallow Be Thy Game" are masterpieces. "Californication," on the other hand, is a quite mediocre rock album, but the crossover brilliance of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" is glaringly absent from those grooves. If the alternative-Indian crowd only enjoys Frusciante, good for them. With "By the Way," the house of cards collapsed miserably.

Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction

In the sense that it’s the classic review from a die-hard Guns N' Roses fan, people I've had to endure for years. Those who claimed "Slash is the greatest guitarist in the world" etc. (this is the only way to explain the comparison with Pink Floyd on "Sweet Child O' Mine").

The album is the highest expression of a certain type of 80s rock, an overground genre that recycled the stylistic elements of the 70s (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and so on) without too much imagination. Any album by Metallica, Megadeth, or Slayer during that period wipes the floor with "Appetite for Destruction." Not to mention that in 1987, bands like Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden debuted, which were much further ahead in the conception of modern heavy rock.

worthy review for a mediocre album

The fact that it is well-played and well-arranged is yet another exercise in mannerism for me. With the extremely high budgets that record labels allocate to "artists" of this kind, it's obvious that everything is polished to perfection. The fact that all this goodness is used to create such ignoble music makes the judgment even harsher.
