sa morte niedda

Experimental bands, like Meshuggah, are often the best. However, albums like this reveal how much Textures have little in common with them, perhaps just the odd time signatures. Even they themselves seem not to have noticed...

oops...

This Norvehim is always in the slipstream of Lacuna Coil (it's not entirely wrong, after all...) Anyway, it's a wonderful album, the Brits are in a state of grace. I hoped it would be like this, and it has been.

Always big. Maybe it's not a masterpiece, but it's still beautiful, not to mention dead.

Nice record... anyway, the ball-less anonymous (even though I know very well who it is) are just one of the many demonstrations that there are countless whores around here who have no respect for opinions and for people... maybe mommy didn't teach you that. Alright, anonymous, let me know when your first tooth comes in, I'll come by to gift you a pin.

I don’t know… Erik himself, in an interview, mentions people like Slipknot and Dream Theater as secondary influences on Textures, while he doesn’t talk about Meshuggah at all… If anything, he says that the first and foremost influence is (as is somewhat obvious) Death.
This means that, given the enormous range of influences of every type that converge in this masterpiece, we are dealing with people who are not mentally closed off and are ready to embrace diversity like power or nu-metal. I like to remember someone who should serve as a role model for the entire metal community, namely Chuck Schuldiner, the human emblem of such openness. Someone like him wouldn’t call Sonata Arctica “shit,” for example, but would at most say “I don’t like it” (but since he liked Stratovarius, I really don’t think so). So let’s try to calm down and start respecting others' tastes, just like our beloved ones do.
By the way, nice view: did you realize that the other arrogant person who, like you, has talked in absolutes about quality is not who you think?

Hi Panda. It's absolutely true that Gackt is not a solo artist, but in his albums he is, or at least in this single, as he himself said in an interview in a magazine dedicated to Japanese music. As for the language, it's a matter of taste, and de gustibus... Zau Zau :D

(again me being a pain...) I take that back: I didn't really mean to say "much" more. Let's say slightly.

and also my hands

The resemblance to Pantera in some aspects is not a coincidence: the album (especially the lyrics perhaps) is heavily influenced by the shock that Mr. Flynn experienced after the assassination of Darrell Abbott. In any case, I wouldn't want to desecrate or undermine a myth, but I find this album much more enjoyable than Master of Puppets, from which, coincidentally, they took Battery and included it as a bonus track. The review seems a bit ruthless to me.
